Holiday Gift Guide: Colleen’s Treasures from Head to Toe

December 21, 2012

Posted by Colleen Banks

When the holidays come around, I love giving special gifts to friends and family. But, hey, I don’t mind receiving gifts either. I try to ask for new accessories from head to toe so I feel stylish and fresh in the new year. Here are my top picks this holiday season—some are practical, others…not so practical. But each of these little gems have certainly caught my eye (wink,wink to my boyfriend if you are reading this).

1 I just love these Warby Parker "Marshall" specs in Rum Cherry. Glasses can be the perfect accessory on a day that you want to look good but still be causal and comfortable. I also think it is great that each pair of glasses that the company sells, they provide a pair for someone in need. ($95, warbyparker.com)

Naturally, when I saw these earrings I fell in love because I just ADORE frogs. Do I NEED a pair of 14kt gold and diamond frog earrings? Maybe not. But honestly, how great are they?! ($6,950, scullyandscully.com)

3 Matte nails? Yes, please! The perfect stocking stuffer. ($26, bloomingdales.com)

This new jewel print at Kate Spade is so awesome. I love the skirt but they have many other accessories with the same pattern that make great gifts. ($298, katespade.com)

Such an inspiring book! Even if you're not in the mood to read, the illustrations are just as fabulous to look at. I would love to have this on hand for my commute into work! ($59.85, amazon.com)
