If you are anything like me, you still have TONS of holiday shopping to finish up in the next few weeks.

Here are some of my favorite shops and items for the holidays- and don’t forget to enter the AWESOME giveaway at the bottom!

I love her classic styles, and her pieces are a great investment because they add a little bit of elegance to any outfit. I was originally introduced to Irina’s jewelry when I was lucky enough to win her Gold Beaded Wrap Bracelet in a giveaway, and I have worn it nearly every day single receiving it in the mail! It’s extraordinarily well-crafted, and it looks great with casual and dressy outfits! If you are looking for a statement piece to give to a loved one, I highly recommend Irina’s line!
