Vintage Guess Shoulder Bag
What it is: Guess Black Nylon Mini Shoulder Bag
I love this bag because it is the perfect bag to take from day to night. It fits all of my essentials, such as my wallet, lipgloss and even my digital camera. It has a zipper on the inside to keep all of your valuables protected, in case you're in a rush and leave your bag unzipped. If you travel or live in a busy city, it's the perfect length to keep snug under your arm without worrying if someone will take it from you. It has been my signature bag for going out and traveling ever since I got it 3 years ago. She’s been with me from Hawaii to Paris and has matched practically everything I've worn. If you don’t own this bag, you're seriously missing out.
Find second hand for $10-$25

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
What it does: Deep conditioning hair mask used to reduce hair breakage to improve your hair’s strength and moisture.
This hair mask has seriously transformed my hair. Since being in Hawaii, my hair has been insanely dry from constantly being in the ocean. This hair mask was recommended to me by a sephora worker & I'm heavily considering naming my first born after her for this recommendation. My hair has never felt so soft and strong plus it smells amazing which is always my dream product. Briogeo is also one of sephora’s certified “Clean and Planet Positive” brands, meaning they are using clean ingredients, responsible packaging, sustainable sourcing, as well as meeting its standards for climate commitment and environmental giving. So it gave me healthy, hydrated hair and it’s great for the environment? That’s a win in my books.
Available at Sephora + currently priced at $15 for 2 0.z., $39 for 8 o.z. , $124 for 32 o.z.

Kay Ali Lovefest Burning Cherry Perfume
Key Notes: Warm and Spicy fragrance with notes of Black Cherry, Rose Damascena, and Palo Santo.
If you're like me, you love to change your scent with the seasons. The Kay Ali first attracted me because of its clean packaging, but I love it because of its long lasting, sexy scent. It has notes of warm cherry, with musky undertones, making it the perfect scent for this season. It perfectly blends the feminine fruity scent without coming across as too youthful. This is one of those scents that people will stop to ask you what you're wearing. It's the most romantic winter scent that will last you all the way to Valentine's day. This perfume is definitely a must have on your holiday wishlist.
$25 for travel size, $89 for 1.7 oz, $125 for 3.4 oz.
Available at in stores or online at Sephora
