I am thrilled to have Lilly’s Holiday Gift Guide again this year. Every year I tentatively ask her (and pay her) to put real thought into these ideas for us. All 24 of these ideas are straight from her, and there are so many great ideas here. I hope this helps you knock out some important shopping!

Free People Shorts – I think all the girls already have a pair of these and they want MORE. So many fun colors, too.

Coco & Eve Hair Mask – I actually gave this to Lilly months ago, and am so pleased to see that she loves it so much that she included!

FP Ruched Long Sleeve – Lilly has this top in a lilac shade and every time she wears it (which is often) I think to myself – gosh she looks so cute. These are fabulous.

Jelly Cat Bunny – I kind of love that Jelly Cats are like the eternally loved stuffy. They’re so soft and I agree this bunny is adorable.

ZigZag Headbands – Another teen fave, an easy way for them to switch up their hair or just helpful tool when washing their face.

Alo Pink Leggings – This is the prettiest rose shade, noticing that Alo is really popular with the teens.

Retro Sunglasses – So cute and under $20. Actually right now they’re marked down 30%.

Rhode Pocket Blush – This would be a great stocking stuffer!

Roller Rabbit Xmas PJs – Holiday snow village print. These might be good to give early if you do early Christmas gifts.

Dibs Blush & Bronzer Stick – Two in one, I really like this brand a lot (and use their lip plumping melt in guaza glaze all the time).

Parke Sweatshirt – Told you guys this would be on the list. It’s basically the number one. They like them oversized, Lilly has these in large/XL.

Stoney Clover Tote – Cute! Definitely add patches and monogram! I really like their weekender bags, too.

Roller Rabbit Long PJs – Oh hey, I’d wear these too. I love the color.

Waterproof Digital Camera – Lil has this! She loves to take it to Harbour Island or she uses it when her friends are over and they want “nice” photos.

Gingham Dress – Nice to have cute things to wear when the occassion arrises. This is under $100.

Owala Water Bottle – A great practical gift! I myself and partial to the Quencher Flip Straw, but to each their own.

Alo Quarter Zip – Listen, quarter zips for everyone. IYKYK.

Hart Gold Necklace Cord – I think Lilly really held back on the Hart ideas because there are only two on this list but I know she loves it all. She has this one.

Casetify Phone Case – Magsafe and super durable. I know this b/c Josh has one, which makes me laugh b/c to me this is kind of a more girly brand, but maybe not.

Hart Oui Charm Necklace – Ah I love this one, a reminder to “say yes to life!”. I love that all of Hart’s charms have a special meaning.

Daily Drills Crew – If this brand isn’t on your radar yet I think it will be.

Alo Sweatpants – Another great practical idea, these are fun, too.

Dai Fairy Duster Dry Shampoo – Perfect little stocking stuffer.

Free People Fleece Jacket – A jacket she’s willing to voluntarily wear? Done.

I wore this downtown yesterday afternoon and you guys this sweater just makes me feel cooler than I am. I can’t point to why. But I love it. I have the XS.

Been thinking about caro’s beef ragu recipe she shared this past week and all the ways you can use it. Looks amazing.

Props go out to Julia for this Amazon find. She had these at her little birthday gathering last weekend and they’re legit the prettiest paper napkins and marbled paper plates I’ve ever seen. I got the green marbled, too!

A little random but I just reordered the Jupiter anti dandruff shampoo for the 3rd time and wanted to share it’s the best if you or your kids have dandruff. They rebranded so it looks like this now. This photo is actually the conditioner which is cool too but it’s the shampoo we really love.

I’ve been reading a lot a lot. I think you all know I loved Conform. Also enjoyed If It Makes You Happy and Exit Lane.

These are my new pajamas and they are so cute and so slinky soft. Obsessed with the cornflower blue rattan print. Even Lilly complimented them.

I started All’s Fair last night and I’m not too far into the series but it’s pretty entertaining. Is it the best show of all time? No. But very worthwhile if you’re looking for something fun!

Okay these diamond wedges are pretty much my winter season dressy heel. They’re so freaking pretty. My dress is old and not available right now :(

I’ve gotten lots of requests for lilly’s holiday gift guide, and I’m happy to say she started really diving into this the last two days so it’s coming in the next two days probably. But in the meantime I can assure you that these Parke sweatshirts are on there. Lil has 3. All the girls love them. And they love them oversized. Lilly likes the L/XL size. I know they’re not cheap but they’re guaranteed to be happy.

This is kinda random but if your skin is also freaking out with the colder weather change like mine has been, i swear by the skinpharm recovery lotion. Austin sends me home with this jetset pack after microneedling b/c it’s just so great for sensitive skin and has lots of moisturizer, so i always have some on hand. But she told me to use it anytime my skin is just acting up or needs extra love. It’s amazing.

Here I am in my big, warm and cozy down puffer coat. I have the XS. Also that’s a cashmere shirt underneath I love that too.

Speaking of cozy I came upon this cute sweater on nordstrom and it’s beautiful and only $60. More colors, too. I just keep coming back to this, bc sometimes Nordstrom especially nails a piece. And this is one of them.

Ending with this photo with girlfriends Kensey, Jillian, and Monica last week. I’m wearing this floral dress (size 2) and you can’t see the sleeves here but they kinda make the dress. It’s 75% off right now! Also these red heels and this leather jacket.


Guys don’t forget i’m updating my Holiday Hub Page daily! I especially love My Favorite Gifts.

Happy Halloween. I’m sorry this is not Halloween themed. This is a random post of the things currently taking up my thoughts. Everything from the book I’m still thinking about 3 days after finishing it, to a workout I’m loving, and an app I’m obsessed with, and a celeb crush. Let’s do it


Olivia Dean – When I took this screenshot it was probably after about 5 times of seeing various images of Olivia in my feed. I mean obviously she’s incredibly beautiful. But her fashion is SO elegant, and SO fun, and SO Unique that I’ve kinda developed a crush.

Asos did a really fun fashion feature round up on Olivia.

Conform– I finished this book 3 days ago I think it was, and I cannot stop thinking about this world. The author Ariel and her publisher (Jenna Bush!) are coming to Charleston next week for the Lit Fest and I cannot wait for it.

Also you couldn’t pry my kindle colorsoft out of my hands if you tried.

The Book World – So the book world in general has taken over my life and thoughts, in a really great way. I’m going to more book talks (IE Workhorse last week), book store openings (Ladybird Bookstore opening party 2 nights ago), and listening to podcasts and subsribing to substacks. I love it. This pic is from the Ladybird party – that store is insanely gorgeous you must stop in.

My outfitnavy floral printed pants, brown v neck sweater, tennis necklace, similar brown mules

Diplomat – Have I talked about this recently? I can’t remember but honestly it’s worth repeating. Season three came out a couple of weeks ago ish and I binged the season over a weekend and have gone back and restarted the whole thing. I love this show so much.

I’m just obsessed with Keri Russell.

Book Cover Design – I’ve hired my book cover designer!! I put together this collage of book covers that I’m drawn to just to show her what I like. I’m a bit all over the place but I know I like lots of color and bold title lettering.

If you want to see all of my favorite books I have them rounded up here.

Staud’s new holiday collection – You’ve got to go see this collection in full b/c it’s so good and there are SO many pieces. I can’t get this dress out of my head, and the mini version too, and the top!

Staud’s new holiday collection – bonkers.

Pop up windows have become the bane of my existence – Honestly I can’t open a site without it asking for my location or for my email or to track my activity. It’s driving me insane.

Taken on my way to browse the Sephora Insider Sale, which as it turns out I’m not an insider so I couldn’t see haha.

Doen’s new fringe coat – Doen’s new collection is, surprise surprise, amazing. I can’t stop thinking about this adorable fringe coat.

Doen’s fringe coat

Aditi’s Mat Pilates Classes – I just adore Aditi on Peloton, she’s so cute and has really fast paced pilates classes. My body just always feels better after one of these classes.

Not shown but my sculpt mat is a must for any of my mat classes I do.

My Ziip Treatments – So I just started working with Ziip Microcurrent Device (this mention is not sponsored) and it’s one of those tools that just has me captivated. It has an app that I use every day where it synchs with different treatments you want to do that day. You can focus on face lift, lymphatic drainage, clear skin, plumping your lips, pimples, plumping, the list goes on. Basically it’s just so fun. Also I have a code CHASSITY for 10% off.

Ziip Halo – code CHASSITY

Comfy Cozy Clothes – Our house is pretty much always cold. And it hits even moreso in the winter so I’m constantly looking for new cute cozy things to wear. I have these wide leg trouser sweatpants and guys I’m here to tell you they’re the best thing!!

And that’s it today. I hope you all have an awesome Halloween :)

There are certain things that I choose repeatedly. The tried and trues that just feel good. Here are some favorites that I’ve been wearing/using/watching/reading lately.

Nobody Wants This – Season 2 just came out and it is SO good. I went back and rewatched season 1 all over again to prepare. This is one of my most favorite shows. It’s on Netflix.

Eby Bralette – Wearing this as I type. It’s just a really comfortable and really supportive every day bra. Highly recommend.

Criss Cross Huggie Earrings – These are my favorite every day earring. They give a little bit of sparkle without being too too much.

Chocolate Brown Cords – These are just so comfortable and so flattering, I wear the petite size.

Margaux Ballet Heels – These are from last year but they’re still one of my go to’s for day time outfits when I need to dress it up a smidge. The heel is the perfect height!

Bisou Balm Lipstick – Basically my favorite lipstick to wear for events. The formula is “french girl chic” and give the best blotted look! You must try it.

La Ligne Sweaters – Literally in this exact sweater as I type this. The mini marins are my fave they’re just so cozy and have the cutest little shape.

Versed SPF Skin Tint Serum – This is like a magical hydrating serum that’s good for your skin but at the same time has a gorgeous coverage and spf 40!

Mother Jeans – My go to pair I have these in two colors. The perfect fit and juuuuust the slightest bit of stretch so they’re really comfortable.

Woven Ballet Flats – Loeffler can do no wrong in the ballet flats game. They’re the perfect daytime flat!

Hydrating Dew Drops – The color that these drops give my face is like the best little rosy glow.

Ruti Nylon Pants – I mean, these pants are super versatile and so freaking cute. They look polished but are so comfortable and have an elastic waist.

Dorsey’s Lab Grown Round Earrings – From their latest drop, how gorgeous are these? I’m so impressed by all of Dorsey’s lab grown gems – I’m gathering quite the collection and I always get compliments. They look like the real real deal.

Cropped Workout Tee – I love the fabric of this collection and wear this cute little top a lot!

Sapphire Slider Paracord Necklace – I feel like this is the necklace I keep choosing over all my other ones lately. It just seems to go with fall/winter clothes so perfectly.

Night Hand Cream – The product is amazing but also it’s such a beautiful jar to keep on my bedside table. The lid acts like a little dish for my rings. It’s a great gift!

Le Monde Beryle Pumps – Guys, these have become my night time go to pair. The shape of these are perfect and so cool!

Hydrinity Spray – Y’all know I love this stuff I use it like 3 times a day. It’s the softest mist, and it instantly purifies your face! Great for acne, after a workout, rosacea…

Leather Tote – I’ve been carrying this a lot during the day lately and always get compliments. It looks like The Rowe.

Conform – Oh my gosh. I started this a few nights ago and AM dying over how good this is. I wanted to love it so much b/c it’s Jenna Bush’s first book from her publishing house, and I’m so glad to report that it’s incredible. We might have the next Fourth Wing on our hands.
