August Rush: Shopping for the Upcoming Holidays
Hard to believe Christmas is only four months away! While most choose to do their holiday shopping closer to December, now’s actually the perfect time to kickstart the gift-giving process. Not only are there several sales to advantage of, planning ahead also enables you to spread out your spending and make sure you’re not forgetting anyone on your list.
And as we meet fall, some sartorial adjustments are needed for the declining temperatures and impending festivities. Whether it’s for loved ones or special treats for yourself, use this little guide for some gifting ideas for every type of style.
For the Working Girl
Roz & Ali Leopard Multi Pintuck Popover
We all know someone in our life who’s a busy bee—always on their phones, in meetings, and their calendar is never not filled. Make their work days more stylish by giving them pieces outside of the usual plain poplin shirts and black slacks. Tailored trousers in a classic heritage print would match their existing tops well or an animal print popover to give an edge to their rotation.
- Get them a pussybow blouse to match the Kaitlyn Mid Rise Plaid Pant for a polished look that’s easily layerable.
- The Kaii Women Color Blocked Crepe Vest can be a part of a three-piece suit with an oversized blazer and tapered trousers.
- A one-and-done satin jumpsuit like the Black Satin Open Shoulder Wrap Jumpsuit is perfect for busy mornings all the way to after-work drinks.
Match Them With:
- A spacious bag is of utmost importance for professionals. The Kira Bag will carry all their essentials in style.
- Forget studs for now, a pair of double hoops like the Alheli Earrings will spruce up any look.
For the Jet-Setter
Wanderust always takes over for this lady. She’s an expert at packing and travel hacks at this point but surely, she’ll appreciate anything that will make her jet-setting life easier. Get her comfy sets for the airport, a luggage set or roomy overnight bag, or pouches for toiletries and other necessities.
- Boarding for a flight will be a breeze with a tracksuit in chic velour such as the Zac & Rachel Novelty Velour Sweatshirt and Zac & Rachel Novelty Velour Jogger set.
- The Astrid One Piece is an easy, classic option for beach days. It’s even wearable as a bodysuit over jeans.
- Make her travel life much smoother with a sizable luggage set like the Champs 2-Piece Tourist Hardside Luggage Set for long trips or weekends.
Match Them With:
- A midi dress like the Sweet Magnolia Cotton Wrap Dress will be a versatile piece for any occasion and is a great transitional color for fall.
- The Yoki Georgia Flat Sandals prioritizes comfort without compromising style with a braided strap and flat rubber platform.
For the Fashionista
Fuchsia Cotton Cutout Midi Dress
She’s that friend who you always come to for fashion advice. She knows her style and isn’t afraid to express herself through it by trying new things each season. Surprise her with pieces that will complement her wardrobe—such as textured outerwear and footwear with flair.
- Add texture to her fall layers with a Faux Fur Zip Up Bomber Jacket in a classic black that allows her to wear color and print without any clashing.

For the Minimalist
This is a woman who loves the classics. She keeps a capsule wardrobe with the most wearable neutrals to keep on rotation and trust, she’s ready for just about any occasion. Get her subtle but sophisticated dresses that are flexible for all events plus statement accessories to jazz up her minimal palette.
- A dress like the Amelia New York Oh My Darling Print Dress can be stylish for work all the way to semi-formal soirées.

For the Homebody
Satin Cami Top And Shorts Pajama Set
The homebody takes lounging very seriously. Her home is a sanctuary where she does anything and everything, so some good loungewear is very much needed. Get her soft sets and knitwear that can do double purpose for casual weekends out or throws to decorate her bedroom and living room.
- Walking around with the Faux Sherpa Furry Slippers is like striding on clouds and a pair she’ll love to use everyday.
- Cozy up for movie night or work-from-home days with the Lush Dcor Sherpa Tassel Fringe Throw over the sofa.
