Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Twelve

To end Hannah's Holiday Look Book 2013 off with a bang, I can't resist my favorite item of the season. Therefore, I must share it with my favorite people, YOU! Welcome the new Naked 3 Pallet by Urban Decay, OUT TODAY!!! This is on every girls Christmas List and if it isn't, then I am pretty sure you are not hanging out with the right girl. (So, my suggestion is to find a new one.) Totally grab this before it is sold out for the holiday. I'm sure girls are camping out now. Until next year... Merry Christmas!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Ten

I literally gush over Melinda Maria. Like seriously dolls, I have an obsession. I swear by her jewelry. I bought some of her stuff over summer at Nordies (aka Nordstrom) and its still in mint condition. I love that I was able to purchase an affordable, high quality ring where I can wash my hands on the daily without having it tarnish and color my finger or having to take it off before washing my hands. The benefits of good quality jewelry is beyond priceless. So with that said, if you are still looking for something impeccable to get your gorgeous babe, you might as well find something designed by the beautiful Melinda Maria. I obsess over these amaze Blythe Earrings in Gold Turquoise! (More colors available.) How smashing are these?! Any girl would be so beyond thankful to receive these in her stocking! (Hint. Hint.)

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Nine

Another wonderful gift for that special guy. Bose offers an awesome SoundLink and Mini Bluetooth Speaker system. It connects wirelessly to his phone so he has the freedom of double tasking. You can also upgrade the gift for just $25 by selecting from a variety of colorful soft cover protectors. 

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Eight

Kids are so hard to buy for during the holiday, especially when you feel like they have every toy on the planet. I found the perfect gift for sweet, little girls who love dressing up and having tea parties. The Solid Fragrance Pencil Gift Set by Mark gifts each little darling with four scrumptious fragrances. It's never too early for a signature scent! 

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Seven

Can't find something for the boys? Make your favorite guy smile with this 'Beatles vs. Stones' book. This is perfect for any dude that loves music and likes to read. They can enjoy learning all about the ultimate battle of the bands in this ideal copy by John McMillian.

A yummy and tasty stocking stuffer perfect for just about anyone. Get your daily dose of salty/sweet when you order Fatty Sunday's scrumptious pretzels! They look as delicious as they must taste. Choose from 20 different flavors and either grab a variety pack or individual pack. Don't forget to make sure you get to enjoy some yourself! These go perfect with a cup of hot cocoa as you cozy up by the fire with friends and family. 

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Five

On snowy and cold days such as today, I really start dreaming of the beach. Then, I realize how much I miss LA (believe me, the job hunt is on!) But, while I can't be surrounded by the palm trees with my sunnies on and a fruity drink in hand, I might as well cozy up with a hot cup of tea and my blog while a delicious warm vanilla scent roams my room. I adore the classic Vanilla Bean Signature from Henri Bendel. Its perfect for the winter months and displays such a classic all white look. The perfect scent for those bitter winter days. 

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Four

Tis' the season to brighten your girls day, right?! Whether it be your girlfriend, mom, sister or daughter, why not get her this gorge Tory Burch 'Brigitte' Cosmetics Case! Its feminine yet spunky and great for her to toss in her purse. She can pile in all of her favorite lip gloss and mascara. Every girl needs a little touch up during the day, so why not make it worth her while and go on and snatch this fab cosmetics bag just in time for the holiday.

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Three

Each year that I ponder my Look Book gift ideas, I make sure to include the gorgeous Christopher Radko Limited Edition ornaments designed by celebrities or designers where 100% of the proceeds go to the Child Mind Institute. I have a lot of respect for Child Mind Institute and find it important to make them part of my yearly Look Book so we can help those children in need. Child Mind encourages and supports children and families by helping them believe, comfort and hope all while providing the one thing we all need most, love. Share the holiday spirit and purchase any of the six  gorgeous ornaments at Bloomingdales. Find out more about Child Mind Institute at childmind.org.

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Two

One of my absolute favorite accessories and something I have on my list to Santa is Look Book Gift Two: All in a Word Leather Bracelet! ;) Who else adores a genuine leather bracelet with a cute symbol or lovely sentiment! I love the "She Lives Life In Her Own Little Fairytale," sentiment bracelet because that is how I live my life. I absolutely die for these especially since you could seriously gift these for both boys and girls. Perfection!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift One

This year has been huge for me. I have finished college, started a job, achieved my "half way" goal in my weight loss journey and surprisingly enough, become more zen. Before, anxiety used to control my life. You would have never guessed, but last year as I started Hannah's Holiday Look Book, I was depressed, unhappy and to be completely honest, miserable mentally and physically. Today, I write up this Look Book with confidence, happiness and a sense of freedom within myself.  While I still deal with the random anxiety or worry, I live free and happy because I chose to make that change this past January as a New Year resolution.  With that said, this brings me to Gift One for Hannah's Holiday Look Book 2013! Lets get started. May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness by Gabrielle Bernstein has helped me tremendously. I recommend this book to anyone dealing with issues as well as those just dealing with plain ole happiness. It will help change your outlook on life and make you feel more "one" within yourself, which is very important for an even happier you! This is the perfect gift for friends and family and even better, a reasonable cost.

Festive Fashion

As I was browsing Anthropologie online this evening, I saw some of the cutest outfits. I'm currently on the hunt for something stylish for Thanksgiving and decided to make it my mission to browse around. Is anyone else in the holiday spirit quite yet? I know its only November 3, but I got so excited after going to a Christmas Open House at a local decor shop, that I immediately put up my tree and got the hot cocoa and Christmas tunes out. This got me to thinking of what I will wear for these festive celebrations. Take a good peek at some of my favorites from Anthropologie. I am loving the selection they have this fall and I am quite certain you will find what you need for your holiday escapades!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Twelve

With Hannah's Holiday Look Book wrapping up with this fabulous gift twelve, I find it important to end on a positive note with a present that supports a great cause. Give this Feed Kenya Masai Scarf that is handcrafted in Kenya by a group of women and deaf artisans. 'Handcrafting these beautiful scarves provides much-needed work and support to communities in Nairobi, Kenya, particularly for a nation that is now dealing with a food crisis leaving 10 million Kenyans at risk of hunger.' Made from the red and purple plaid tribal fabric with the hand-beaded "FEED" logo at the bottom, when you purchase one of these gorgeous scarves it provides ten school meals to the children in Kenya. What a way to give back during a time when people are in need. 

Stay fashionable and Merry Christmas!

Hannah's Holiday Look Book Gift Eleven

While life certainly is unexpected and unfortunate things still occur during the holiday season, I want to mention the fun-filled gift you can get any one, including kids and teens. Purchase a relaxing game of any kind, one of my favorites is Apples To Apples. Enjoy your time sharing memories and lots of laughter with your friends and family and pull out your game collections on those snowy days when you are stuck inside (or for all of us West Coasters, on the days its drizzling outside, not that we get many of those!) Don't forget to grab some hot cocoa too!

Best Bang For Your Buck

With November finally here and the holidays around the corner it is vital for us to look fashionable and sexy. Sometimes it can be hard managing money while in the process of buying gifts and going to the grocery store for baking items. Of course we spend more money during the holiday season than any other time. I usually get asked the same question around this time of year from my girlfriends in college "Where can I find a cute and affordable outfit while still having left over cash for basics, gifts and groceries." Simple. Check out my dress guide below, every dress under $50!

This Frenchi Boxy High/Low Dress ($44) is great with a leopard or sparkly belt. Add spunky jewelry or go simple with diamond stud earrings. Pair a neutral heel, wedge or boot with this and accompany it with a pair of tights if needed. 

Snatch this cozy Buttoned Sweater Dress ($23) that can be paired with simple jewels, booties (pictured above), heels or knee-high boots. Opt for long waves or sleek bun. 

This stylish Polka Dot Ponte Peplum Dress ($29) is fashion forward while also providing a sweet and sassy vibe. Pair with black heels and classic jewelry, something clean and effortless.

The Open Back Lace Skater Dress ($30) is flirty and fun and would look fab with some nude or sparkly heels. Red is a perfect holiday color and a hue you can take with you all year round. 

This bold City Triangles ($25) frock is great if you are looking for something eye catching and a little bit more dramatic. Add black, glimmering accessories and choose straightened hair or a sleek bun.
