Fashion-Related Gifts For The Person Who Loves Scoring Secondhand Babaa As Much As You Do

Long Live Gift Guide 2/3

This one’s for my fashion people. You make up the majority of my subscriber base. And you’re 100% my kind of readers. These picks are not Hanes underwear for the stocking, though that really did come in handy as a kid, Mom. These are stunning pieces, instant classics, make to be given and received with longevity in mind.

Alexa Chung, President of Fashion People Worldwide

We’re not talking the trendiest of the bunch or something highly personal like a pair of jeans. These are IYKYK classics to be treasured and wrapped in kraft paper and grosgrain ribbon. Some picks are practical. Others whimsical. And there are even some for the boys! (I listened to the chat ❤️) Maybe you were hoping for something with secondhand picks? All I can say is stay very tuned.

Metropolitan is a holiday movie for Fashion People

Siwula Ripples Shirt

This shirt is a work of art. Gift it accordingly! The brand makes dresses, too, which are just as compelling.

William Emery Butte Bag

For the person who wants to carry something other than a Baggu. No shade! But why not try this little belt bag instead? I might wear it across my chest. But I’m *crazy* like that.

Tory Burch Mercer Bag

I like a lot of things about this bag. I like that it’s suede and leather, that it’s under $1,000, and that it fits a bag niche in my collection I always have a hard time with—big enough for a book but not for a laptop.

Le Set x Madewell Pointelle Set

Let the Fashion Person in your life know you know what’s up by giving them the unofficial Christmas Morning Uniform this year. Pointelle might not be that wearable outside the house, but this set was made for lingering over a cinnamon roll and cup of coffee.

Hikerkind Ribbed Merino Polo

A real new-to-me favorite, Hikerkind makes clothes for real life. I wore this polo to a party last week and felt like a million bucks. Their Packable Down Puffer is way cuter than whatever I spent too much money on a few seasons ago. And the hood packs up into that darling little collar.

Donni The Taffeta Simple Pant

You guys remember Alyssa from Long Live? Her brand, Donni, is a real home run for any Fashion Person in your life. These pants are magical.

The Ben Shoppe The Endeavour Vault

The Ben Shoppe is a real brand crush of mine. I always assumed all their pieces were $, but this necklace is under $1,000. A lot! But if you’re in the market to celebrate something special, full steam ahead. There are lots of ways to wear their pieces, too.

Snibbs The Clog

You know I’m picky about my clogs. These were made for chefs and work just fine for running to get the mail or do laundry. In fact, I like them more than Super Birkis or Ugg clogs. Plus, they’re under $100.

Baserange Omato Top

I can’t remember how I found Baserange, but I’m glad I did. There’s lots to love, but I find these slinky little layering tops to be some of their best work. The frilly sleeve and neck detailing make me happy.

Big Rock Candy Mountaineering Arctic Parka

If someone you love recently took advantage of their remote tech job and rented an Airbnb in Boulder for a few months, why not celebrate with the kind of parka your kids will fight over some day?

Yellow Label Co. Quarter Zip

I got one of these for sister and she loves it. Men seem to always have a dingy sweatshirt that needs replacing. Here’s a good option!

Guest In Residence Cloud Scarf

I’m a not so secret fan of Gigi Hadid’s cashmere label. Who knew? Use ERIKA15 for 15% off. This textured scarf feels a little younger than something ribbed. My sister would freak over this.

Freda Salvador Elba Penny Loafer

I had no idea I had so many of these codes. You can use ERIKAV15 for 15% off here, too! I own more than one pair of these loafers. They’re much easier to break in than other options on the market and the heel gives them a bit of a modern edge. New Yorkers, Freda has a store in Soho!

Oddobody T-Shirt

I adore Oddobody, especially their t-shirt, but also this pair of underwear. Maybe you’re close enough to your giftee to bestow a pair upon them! I guess this is the exact use case that inspired giftcards.

Loeffler Randall Dina Travel Tote

Do not be fooled by this humble, beautiful bag. I spotted it IRL at the LR store in Soho + was delighted to learn it has a strap for being carried on a suitcase with just the right amount of pockets. To the top of my Holiday List it flew. Brava

Brother Vellies Cloud Socks

People live and die by these socks. The Fashion Person in your life will, too. I’d wear them with loafers and white denim.

Jenny Bird Celeste Necklace

Two tone means everything to me. And as a new Jenny Bird obsessee, this necklace feels like a real embodiment of the brand: cool, easy, and elevated. (This is also 15% off until Dec 2 along with a bunch of the site!)

Frank & Eileen Shirley Shirt

It’s tough to pick a favorite with Frank & Eileen, but the Shirley is mine. I think gifting it in plain white is very cool, but there are dozens of patterns to choose from.

Emma Rothkopf Knee High Socks

Buck Mason Caddy Sunglasses

I think Buck Mason sunglasses are one of the brand’s best kept secrets. They feel super expensive and come in a sturdy case, which means a lot to me and as a gift.

Mark The Tailor

A lot of you wanted ideas for guys. Mark The Tailor is going to be the next cool menswear brand. Plus, they’re launching this week, so you’ll earn bonus points from the Fashion People in your life.

Nomasie Nono Loafers

These are not an everyday loafer, but if you’re gifting an aficionado, then knock it out of the park with this shoe.

Palorosa Mini Tote

I’ve wanted one of these basket bags for a good eight years. They’re so cool IRL + the best part? They’re tightly woven enough that nothing falls out. Trust me, I’m a basket expert.

Ozma Standard Overalls

Great overalls are worth celebrating—and gifting. Use code ERIKA15 for 15% off and give this to someone you’d like to see spend a little more time collaging and less time on Slack this holiday season.

James Street Co. Chunky Lowe Pullover

As a very tall person, I have to tell you that the sleeves on this delicious sweater are long enough for even me to cuff. Everything James Street makes is divine. These are sweaters made to be treasured.

The Great Sailor Sweater

Generally speaking, people who love stripes LOVE stripes. So it’s a pretty safe bet to get them something like this sweater to add to their collection.

Lizzie Fortunato Pearl Pablo Earrings

I’m a total freak for Peridot. Who can blame me? These are a really tasteful interpretation of the stone.

J.Crew Brushed Cashmere T-Shirt

Brushed cashmere—I thought I was over it until I felt what J.Crew was up to IRL. I must admit, I’m bought in now. I’ve always thought a cashmere t-shirt was undeniably festive. Ruby gave me one once + since then, I’ve associated them with smart dressing.

Honorable Mentions

ELEMIS Cleansing Balm is a total reorder product for me. Luckily, Elemis is offering 25% off sitewide (plus gift with purchase for orders over $150) with code CYBER. 

I’m reading Didion & Babitz and having the time of my life.

Here are two business-y pods I’m loving this week (one and two).
