Fashion People in L.A. *and* New York Have These Chic Things on Their Wish Lists

This year has been nothing short of a whirlwind. One minute, I was living my L.A. dream: sunny mornings in a single-family home, a backyard for my 80-pound Bernese mountain dog, and a bougie gym that looked like it should be on the cover of a home magazine. The next minute, my stuff was put in boxes, and I was on a one-way flight to New York City. I traded square footage for a view of the Empire State Building, and now I'm running all around the city in comfortable (but still chic) shoes trying to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle.

And while I'm physically in New York, California will always be a part of me. So yes, I keep up with both coasts religiously. Having my best friends split across L.A. and NYC certainly helps, and I'd like to think it makes me uniquely qualified to know exactly what all the stylish girls are shopping for, wearing, and obsessing over right now. That brings me to holiday gifting. Finding the perfect present for the fashion person in your life—your wife, daughter, sister, or that friend who can predict a trend before the runway—is no easy feat. No one wants an "avocado... thanks" moment. And if you're shopping for yourself (which I fully support as an end-of-year ritual), even better. The good news? I've got both coasts on tap, and I'm rounding up the chicest, editor-approved gifts any fashion lover would be ecstatic to unwrap. Adidas sneakers, luxe beauty sets, cashmere sweaters—nothing cliche, everything très chic. Happy browsing.

Almada Label

Coco Brushed Cardigan in Taupe

No label's been on my radar like Almada has. I have a cart full of at least 10 things. The label is high quality and celebrates the art of timeless wardrobes, creating pieces that you'll want to pass down for generations.

DOLCEVITA

Bodi Loafers Black Leather

The one thing about me is that I love a loafer.

I've been an Adidas stan since I was young, but the Sambas have been my number one style year after year. I already have a few colorways, but I'm loving the pop of red here.

I've been excited to try out the Tokyo style, too.

DOLCEVITA

Anika Boots Black Stella

The toe stitching adds an extra element of interest.

U Beauty

The Fragrance Set

Our beauty editor has this on her desk, and I try to steal spritzes of it whenever I can.

If anyone in my vicinity is asking about trench coats, I point them toward this one.

Cozy Earth

Classic Cuddle Blanket

Cozy, but it also looks luxurious in your home.

STRINGYS

Nude Invisible Underwear

Ever been in a situation where you don't want to go commando but no pair of underwear works for the outfit you're wearing? This is every fashion girl's secret weapon.

The Frankie Shop

Amomento Fur Bucket Hat in Dark Brown

For New Yorkers, a necessity. For L.A. girls, a novelty we break out the second it dips under 60°.

The Frankie Shop

Vesoul Short Trench in Brown

A lot of sweaters come across my desk, but this one is chic with a capital C.

Dissh

Denver Bitter Choc Suede Leather Bomber Jacket

When I lived in L.A., I would wear suede bombers as my main source of warmth. Now in New York, I'm eyeing this one to layer over my chunky knits and gloves. A splurge, but worth it.

Rumored

Madonna Coat in Alaska

I'm thinking this coat thrown over your holiday LBD.

Splits 59

Heritage Velour Pant

You won't find a pant that's comfier (or cooler) than this pair.

Artless Forever

Tove Cashmere Polo

I'll admit I already own this. But I want to get it for everyone I know.

Adanola

Varsity Straight Leg Sweatpants

Adanola is on every cool girl's radar.

111SKIN

Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Face Mask

I love popping these in gift bags for my friends. They're so iconic.

Diptyque

Softening Hand Wash

Walk into any New York or L.A. editor's bathroom, and there's a 99% chance you'll find a fancy soap and lotion combo. This one is my current hyperfixation.

Frances Valentine

Faux Fur Cuff Leather Gloves

Maguire

Soria Snake Closed Toe Heel

Gisou

Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask

We're heading into the driest season of the year, and lip care is no longer optional.

Beyond Yoga

On the List Faux Fur Jacket

This would be my go-to for walking my dog early in the morning if I still wanted to look cute.

Free People

Chunky Woven Fisherman Hat

good american

Good 90s Relaxed Jeans

Gifting jeans? Risky. This pair? A guaranteed win. The fit is unreal.

Aritzia

The Superpop Puff

Packable for L.A. girls who are visiting colder climates.

Lola Blankets

The Lola Pet Bed in Desert Dune

I've had a Lola blanket on my wish list forever, but I had no idea the brand made pet products. My dog would be thrilled to sleep in this chic bed.

UGG

Classic Ultra Mini Platform

The boots you'll find on every cool girl and celeb.

I received a pair of Naghedi shoes over the summer and was instantly obsessed. I'm hoping to try more and more from the brand.

Away Travel

The Medium in Ruby Haze

This color is next-level good.

The chicest girls in my Pilates class wear this wrap top. It's time to make it mine.

Freja New York

Mini Chrystie Bag Pistachio

PUMA

Speedcat OG Sneakers

A necessity for a fall/winter wardrobe. Just ask any editor.

Almina Concept

Wool V Neck Sweater

I have this in red, but I need it in grey. Luckily, the site is offering 25% off for Black Friday.

Frank Darling

The Ribbon Elongated Cushion

I saw my fellow editor Ana Escalante rocking a pinky ring from Frank Darling, and I've been on the hunt to find my own ever since. I love the range of designs the brand offers. This is the perfect time to shop a piece with up to 25% for Black Friday.

Sephora

Dedtergent Xtra Milk

If you don't think a laundry detergent will change your whole personality, think again.
