As I’ve slowed down this season in preparation for Baby Bowman, I’ve been much more of a consumer than a creator when it comes to Christmas gift guides. I’ve enjoyed the change, but have to confess that I’ve definitely noticed certain items repeated over and over. Not a bad thing, by any means, but I found myself wanting to see a bit more… I don’t know… seasonal sparkle?
Today, I came across the most fabulous, over-the-top pair of pearl-embellished slippers. What can I say – I was immediately inspired to scour the web for other equally fun, budget-breaking Christmas list ideas.
Now please read this disclaimer: this is not what I would consider a realistic list by any means. You won’t find ideas for incredibly practical pieces in this ten-item roundup.
Rather, I hope this collection of pretty, fabulous things is fun to consume and browse. I mean… a $1,000+ feather dress? Perhaps not practical, but fun to daydream about!
I hope you enjoy!
- pink silk scarf // I love a big scarf. Wear it around your shoulders, as a fun little top or accessorize your favorite bag! However you choose to use it, this color palette is what my dreams are made of and sure to put a smile on your face.
- chartreuse hair bow // The prettiest hair bow I’ve seen yet. The only question is, which color?
- pink top // This high neckline, paired with bow detailing and a fabulous pink fabric, is nothing short of oh-la-la inducing. Why not pair it with these bow heels for extra fun?!
- blue bow teddy coat // Can’t you just picture Eloise, all-grown-up, waltzing through the Plaza in this coat? I just discovered the designer, MME.Mink, and am obsessed!
- pearl slippers // The shoes that started it all. If you have $425 to spend on fun slippers, better make them these!
- multi colored martini glasses // Liven up your wedding registry or wet bar with this gorgeous, rainbow set! (And then invite me over come February when I can enjoy a cocktail with you!)
- white feather mini dress // Calling bouji brides everywhere. Two words: getaway dress. Need I say more?!
- gold scalloped frame // I wouldn’t feel great about spending $100 on a beautiful picture frame for myself, but should someone gift it (with a photo of Flynn inside for good measure) I’d be beside myself! So gorgeous.
- chanel “merry rose” lip gloss // The only under $50 item you’ll find on this list, this lip gloss is my holy grail. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I swear by this shade and will include it on every gift list I create forever and ever. Amen.
- crystal gucci booties // I splurged on these booties a few weeks ago… and I have to tell you. ZERO regrets. These booties are incredibly comfortable, so fun and make my endless rotation of maternity leggings + oversized sweaters pop a bit more! I ended up sizing up one full size, but I think that’s due to my expanding feet. #pregnancyproblems
Now I have to ask, what is one bouji item on your Christmas list? (Whether that list is real or imaginary is of no importance!)
Love from the Lonestar State,

The pearl slippers being the item that kicked off this whole list makes perfect sense. There’s something about a $425 pair of house shoes that sets the tone for everything after it, and I like that the post doesn’t pretend any of this is practical.
A concise bio benefits from visual hierarchy: a small divider can separate roles, interests, or a call to action without adding another sentence. bio symbols are most effective when they match the tone of the account and appear in only one or two consistent places. Choosing familiar marks also helps visitors understand the information at a glance. The aim is not decoration alone, but a profile that feels organized and remains easy to read.
