Although L.A.'s weekend weather included almost nonstop rain, I couldn't complain—the cozy vibes were unbeatable. I decided to seize the moment and take advantage of the opportunity to tackle some long-overdue holiday shopping. With a hot chocolate in hand and my comfort show on, I curled up on the couch and had a blast scrolling through gifts for my friends.
Since most of them are devoted fashion people (which explains why we get along so well), I knew chic accessories were the way to go. I set out to find timeless pieces that add that extra zhuzh and level up even the simplest looks. My shopping journey started and ended at Bloomingdale's—not only does the retailer carry such a wide selection across both high and low price points, but the site is also packed with so many of my friends' favorite brands. Ahead, explore the stunning accessories I can't wait to gift this season. (Friends, stop reading now.)
Sunglasses
If there's one thing my friends and I will always agree on, it's that sunglasses are a must, no matter the season. We can never have enough pairs, and these ultra-chic styles prove exactly why. I'm convinced the right pair just makes any outfit look so much cooler, so I know these would be a hit.
Bags
A couple of my friends have been hinting that they need bags that feel more suited for fall and winter, and these styles could not be more spot on. I'm in love with the intricate detailing on each one—it's what makes them feel even more elevated and stand out.
Watches and Jewelry
These may lean on the splurgier side, but they'd make the most stunning gifts for someone who deserves something truly extraordinary. They embody everything timeless and luxe and are sure to become lifelong favorites that will be cherished for years to come.
Shoes
If there's one gift that never disappoints, it's a good pair of shoes. Whether it's cozy slippers, winter-ready clogs, or everyday pairs my friends will definitely wear into the ground (literally), these picks are far too cute not to add to cart immediately.
