Anthropologie Inspiration is at an all time high for me right now! Now notice I call it inspiration because y’all know that I am all about a good deal and these things are not in my price point.  But that’s how I get inspired and more creative! If I have to make my own or search HomeGoods for something similar… I’m all about the good deal brag.

What I love about looking though is seeing how fashion and interior design intermingle each year.  This year is going in a bolder direction with jewel tones, bold patterns (especially tribal), pattern mixing, metallics in an even bigger way than before, and while fringe was popular this last year, I think we will be seeing feathers in the same way this year.  So do I need a purse with sequined birds on it? No.  But do I love the colors and how it’s pulled together? Yes!

| Purse |

The neutral background is the paint on the walls to me with the colors of the birds throughout the room.
| Necklace |

The greens are everything, not to mention Pantone’s color of the year! This necklace makes me want to layer a neutral couch with velvet pillows in all of those green shades.  It also makes me want the necklace but I will control myself.

| Cross Body Bag |

This kimono basically combines it all.  Sequins.  Jewels.  Deep tones.  Fringe.

|Kimono |

And broaches are back in a big way and I kind of love it! I’m not sure that they work into my everyday outfits but what about putting one on a purse or having a bowl filled with antique ones?! Ok… don’t steal that idea!

While I love the all white and gray homes, it’s just not for me.  I need color and I need it infused through out! Whether it’s in pillows or art work or rugs, I like to bring it into decor that can be changed easily.  These tribal prints and patters are beautiful and would not go just anywhere but are note worthy and the bracelet seems like a possible DIY… ok, don’t steal that idea either ok?!

| Clutch | Bracelet |

I’m just going to put this out there… I want this clutch.  My Birthday was last week and if anyone forgot and wants to just send this on to me, that’s just fine.  I could make up something to fit it into my decor but really I just want to adopt it as my third child.

So am I the only one who sees fashion as inspiration for interior design and vice versa? Pin Below for sources later!

My first online shop is Perfectly Gifted Frisco.  It was hard for me to even narrow down the gifts I wanted to feature because I loved so many, but my top pick was definitely this adorable Dalmation Tray.  This is something I would keep out all year and dress it up for the different seasons on our coffee table! And if you want to throw some more cuteness on it, guess what? They sell monograms… I can’t ever pass up a monogram!

My second favorite was this adorable, again customizable, cork carry all!

Pick your colors and fonts and give a gift that is personal and will be loved much longer than just this season!

The next fun stop is Accessory Concierge! These locals are always on my shopping list and if truth be told, I have a hard time buying for others when shopping there… but yes, I know, it’s about giving right now!

First up- bracelets… ALL the bracelets! The cuffs are my personal favorite but you can find their huge selection here.

I could go on for hours about the necklaces and earrings as well but they also have a fun section of home decor and these Agate Napkin Rings are calling my name!

Literally drooling.  And you won’t want to stop there when you see the other agate accessories they have!

Last, but certainly not least, is a store called All The Wire.  I love this store for not only the charitable work that they do but also for the stories they want to put behind their products.  Can you tell I am working on a theme this year? Personal.  I want my people to know that when I bought them a present it wasn’t out of obligation, but out of thought and care and the jewelry that All the Wire sells can be customized to express a certain sentiment or date to show that!

This Coordinate Bar is one of my favorites.  The location of your birth, your wedding, your first home, a loved one.  I personally have one of these and it displays the coordinates of where my Mother’s ashes are.  It is by my heart every day and I am always so thankful for it.

Or how about a custom Cuff Bracelet!

I love giving presents and I’m so excited to start checking off my list! I hope your shopping trips are filled with love rather than stress.  It can be a stressful time of year with emotions running high but just remember, it’s the thought that counts!

Some details to note- that watch comes in gold and silver, and there are multiple pieces of jewelry that are so similar to Gorjana (which I love) with the hammered gold and beyond half the price!

Up next are my favorite purses and totes and some of these are under $25 and there is kind of something for everyone here… Fringe, leather, color, neutral, and stripes!

| Backpack | Suede Fringe Crossbody | Red Tote (other colors too) | Striped Tote(red and tan too) |

Now how cute is this tote?! For the pool or beach- just the summer in general! And no joke… Under $30!

I have many people in my life who are next to impossible to shop for! Like the… oh I don’t care what I get kinda people.  You know who you are.  So I made a Top Ten Eleven List of my Favorite Things- just to give some go to ideas for the random presents you might need!

1.  Michael Kors Watch  2.  Humans of New York Book  3.  GlamGlow Face Mask

4.  Kate Spade Planner  5.  Stay Fancy Wine Glass  6.  Leopard Clutch

7.  Kate Spade iPhone Case  8.  Slippers  9.  Peace Sign Tray

10.  Bauble Bar Knot Earrings  11.  Sara Happ Lip Gloss

 Just a few notes… MK watch- always a crowd pleaser and on sale! The Humans of New York book would be an awesome gift! Such great real life stories.  You can follow them on Instagram to see what it’s all about.

Glam Glow face mask basically makes you look 10 years younger after 20 minutes… and no they aren’t paying me to say that.  The lip gloss… I have mentioned it before and it will remain on my Must Have list for life!

I have those slippers in pink from last year and even my Boys try and steal them they are so comfy! Pink and all:) I might need the white ones now though…

That leopard clutch is beyond adorable! If you want to grab an extra one for me that would be just fine! And how cute is the Kate Spade planner and iPhone case?

No clue what someone will like?  Why not get them a little peace sign trinket tray for $14… super cute!

And last but not least… Stay Fancy people with your Stay Fancy wine glass! I may pour beer in mine but it will still be Fancy cause it says so!

I think any of these gifts would bring a smile to a face! And mine… once again… feel free to buy extras for me.  I kid… kinda.

I hope you have a beautiful week and am so thankful for y’all!

Oh and head HERE to find some fun Stocking Stuffers as shown below! (cause everyone needs a banana flask)
