Ultimate Holiday Wish List

By Alexia Gonzalez on December 5, 2014

If there was ever a time of year meant for wishing, wanting, dreaming big, believing in the unbelievable, and going all out in the glamour department, it’s definitely the holidays.

Holiday shopping for your friends and loved ones can become a grueling task that feels like a tug of war between giving an awesome gift while remaining in your budget. However, when it comes to your own wish list things should be easy peezy (and oh so shiny!).

I’m not advocating that you act like a spoiled brat and expect nothing but the best from all of your friends, family, and acquaintances, but when it comes to parental, boyfriend, or bestie territory, you’re allowed a little room for stipulation.

We all have those few items that have been on our list all year long, and we can only hope the Elf on the Shelf noticed how nice we were. So the next time your grandparents lovingly ask you what exactly it is that you have on your ultimate wish list, don’t be afraid to speak your mind and have some of these fabulous options ready at hand.

Ankle Booties

Finally, your months of online shopping drooling and daydreaming can come to an end. You’ll easily be able to convince your mom that you would wear these stylish kicks all the time, and obviously they would look great with practically every outfit.

Check out these adorable booties by Dolce Vita.

Designer Phone Case

Your hardworking gadgets deserve some lovin’ as well! Considering how much you probably use your cellphone, it doesn’t hurt to glam it up with some chic accessories.

Stylish Headphones

Another gadget that is often overlooked is your headphone set. You most likely use these on a daily basis, be it at the gym, in the library, or commuting to class, and not to mention they basically function as a head accessory that frames your face.

So turn the volume up a few notches on your headphone game and request a more glamorous set of ear buds.

These “Layla” headphones by Frends take the classic over the ear headphones to a sparkling new level with jewel adorned interchangeable caps and matching earrings to provide a final bit of signature sparkle.

Make-Up Set

There is no way that you can exclude a lavish beauty kit from your ultimate holiday wish list (and who are you kidding? You can never have too much make up!)

This is the perfect time to ask for one of those all-inclusive, over the top, brimming with glamour make-up kits that you would normally deem excessive. But hey, it’s the holidays and you deserve to look your best!

Leather Wallet

It’s all in the details–especially when it comes to your accessories! A quality wallet is an important accessory for every gal on the go to own since you can’t afford (literally) to own one that will fall victim to the daily wear and tear.

A bold colored wallet makes it easy to find in a black hole of a purse, and cute enough to carry as a clutch. Plus a well-made leather one will last forever!

Snag this double zipped wallet by Coach that can even hold your phone inside for those quick errand days that you don’t feel like lugging an entire purse.

Ear Cuff

Trend up your jewelry box with a unique statement piece that you may not already own: the ear cuff. This bauble has recently made a fashion resurgence both on and off the runway and is the new pièce de résistance.

Luxury Watch

So even if you’ve never considered yourself as a watch wearing kind of girl, I find that a timepiece can make for a very bold fashion statement. Not only does a watch appear polished and intelligent, it functions as a chicer than chic accessory, and serves to keep you punctual and organized (fashionably late is so passé).
