All I Want For The Holidays Is ...These 10 Fashion Items

By Amanda Cohen on November 30, 2015

Ladies, it’s that time of the year again … wish list season! After working our tails off at school and spending hours on end in the library, I think we deserve a treat.

Now, being the person I am, I love composing a wish list filled with fun fashion items that I can use for special events, class, holidays, or even just a chill night with the girls.

Here are 10 items that I feel are must haves for any holiday wish list.

1. Makeup pallet: Makeup pallets tend to be pricey, but let’s be real, it is so much more helpful having one big makeup pallet than a thousand small containers of eye shadow.

For the holidays, ask for the Naked pallets or the large Sephora pallet that has literally everything that you need when getting ready for a night on the town. A neutral-colored pallet is also not a bad idea because neutral colors can be worn any day of the week, not just for special occasions.

2. Fun(ny) pajamas: The holidays are a time to get cozy, cuddle up to the fire, and to spend time with your family and friends. The best way to go about this is to wear a funny pair of comfy pajamas. Nothing says coziness better than a pair of fleece pajamas with milk and cookies plastered all over the pants and top.

Some people may decide to wear silky pajamas that have more of a “sophisticated” look to them. If you’re like me and prefer comfort over looking “sophisticated,” go for the bright pink pajamas that have dogs or cookies all around (and obviously wear the slippers that you also put on your wish list).

3. Black heels: I know this suggestion sounds lame, but black heels are a necessity in every woman’s wardrobe. Seriously, I don’t think I have gone a day without seeing a girl walking around in a pair of black heels. Whether the heels are stilettos, wedges, booties, chunky heels, or anything else, they are a must have.

If you want to add a little height when you go out, maybe ask for a chunky pair of platform heels that give you that extra boost. If you are like me and don’t need to add that much more height to yourself, opt for a heeled black pair of chunky booties. You can never go wrong with black heels.

4. Rings: I am a little bit obsessed with rings … if it were up to me, I would have all 10 of my fingers bedazzled in chunky, fun rings (however, this would not be the cutest look). I suggest putting your favorite ring on your holiday list because if it is your favorite ring you will most likely wear it all of the time.

I am partial to gold rings, but if you have a silver necklace that you always wear, find a pretty silver ring to ask for. Rings are the perfect statement pieces and can be worn while going to class, going on an interview, going out with your friends, or even going out on a date. You will have no problems getting use out of a ring if you choose to add it to your list!

5. Slippers: I know slippers are not considered “high-fashion,” but they are super comfortable and are a necessity in everyone’s closet. Ugg slippers are comfortable and cute, but why not take this opportunity to get a crazy pair of slippers that you can wear to the next wine night with your girlfriends?

Get slippers that look like shoes, or maybe slippers in the shape of your favorite animal (I’ve seen some penguin slippers on the market that reside on my wish list). Winter is approaching and comfort is key in this cold weather.

6. Leather jacket: A trend in my most recent fashion articles has a lot to do with leather … and for good reasons. Leather jackets give off a classy vibe and give people the sense that you might even be a little bit hard-core. I know many people already have a black leather jacket hanging in their closets, so you might be asking yourself why would you ask for another one?

Well, I’ll tell you why; black leather jackets, although super chic, tend to be overdone by most people. Use your holiday list as an opportunity to spice up your leather game with a burgundy, olive-green, or tan jacket. Since winter is approaching and people tend to wear darker colors like black, a colored leather jacket is the perfect way to splash some color into your look.

7. Lululemon clothing: Raise your hand if “working out more” or “being healthier” has ever been on your New Year’s resolutions list? If you didn’t raise your hand it will probably be on your list this year or next year. I find myself more motivated to hit the gym when I feel comfortable and stylish in the outfit that I am wearing.

I am not the type of person who paints their face with makeup before going to the gym because that’s just not practical. However, I feel more comfortable running in a cute pair of workout pants and a racer-back top than I do in an oversized t-shirt that I wear to bed.

Workout clothing can be pretty expensive, so adding yoga pants or sport bras to your wish list will be extremely helpful in your workout endeavors.

8. Chunky purse or tote: I always found it strange that my mom carried around a purse which, even though super fashionable, acted as a Marry Poppins’ bag for our family. However, I realize that as I get older, I carry more things around with me.

Whether these items are makeup, extra tissues, my wallet, glasses, sunglasses, or a small cardigan, I like having it all with me. I’m not willing to sacrifice my personal style, however, so chunky purses or totes are the perfect way to remain fashionable while being practical.

9. High-rise pants: High-rise jeans are making the comeback of the century; I swear I never go out without seeing someone rock these waist-hugging pants with a fun top and leather jacket. The holidays are the perfect time to ask for these high-fashion pants because you can make the argument that any type of jeans are versatile and you will wear them all of the time. These trendy babies are perfect for class, lunch dates, dinner dates, or a night on the town.

10. Wildfox sweater: Wildfox makes some of the trendiest, most fun clothing on the market, not to mention they are so comfortable. Unfortunately, their prices are pretty over-the-top. The holidays are the perfect time to ask for this extravagant purchase because not only are their sweaters fashionable, but it’s a gift that you will keep forever because Wildfox’s fun graphic designs never go out of style.
