As we have 23 days to Christmas, the official holiday craziness has begun. 

Today's gift guide might just be my personal favorite. Like my past two gift guides, all items can be found from a specific retailer. This week's lucky ducky? Shopbop. 

 I'm obsessed with the Kate Moss book, and the most stylish best friends iPhone case... I mean, c'mon who wouldn't want that? Most of the time when it comes to under $50 gift ideas, you'll just see a whole bunch of candles- did I walk into a Yankee Candles? yeah, no- and random nondescript stocking stuffers. This budget-friendly batch works for the hostess, a stocking stuffer for your sister, and let's get real here, yourself. 

As I'm all about spreading some l'esprit de Noël (!!!), some giveaways are coming your way that will make jolly ole' St.Nick jealous.

Kate's World

c/o by Vogue UK

Ms.Moss has donned the cover of Vogue UK 36 times now- talk about the it factor. Mario Testino shot the British supermodel for this year's December issue. Giving us two takes of her; bombshell beauty and a nod to 1990s fresh faced Kate. It's official...

It's Kate's world, and we are all just living in it.

The New Normal?

With a new buzz in the air thanks to Vogue's September issue starring #INSTAgirls, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, and Cara Delevingne, the revival of the supermodel is happening. And no one is complaining (well, except Kim K perhaps #kimye). Along with Vogue, W Magazine has included an editorial showcasing "super normal super models" from the likes of Kate, Lara, Daria, and so on.

So, we ask ourselves is a revolution of the supermodel taking place as we type? I'm not doubting that it's been happening that past few years due to the powerful social media world (and their good looks, help). But the real question is are these super normal super models selling more covers (and more likes) than one of Hollywood's finest gems?

You be the judge of that. In the meantime, just enjoy one of the best editorials we've seen in a long time.

Hold on... one more observation. Does Boss Moss age? The answer is crystal clear. 

Sneaks | Stan Smiths

Stan Smith sneakers, Current/Elliott denim shirt, Kate Moss x Topshop shorts, Vita Fede bracelets

My sneaker collection was in need of major refreshing and what better than the number one kick on the list- Stan?! In a sea of Converse and Supergas, Stan is here to shake things up. Here's how I'll be sporting my latest pair once they make their way to me- silk shorts and a denim button down. A little heavy metal is also in need, no doubt.

It took me way too long to hop on the Stan Smith bandwagon. I've been eyeing the pair forever and finally are bringing them into my sneakerhead life. Because honestly, do I ever wear heels anymore?

Fringe Benefits

Fringe. 

For the most part, no one wants to look like they are from the wild west. But, fringe has made a return after being seen on the runway. If you are feeling the trend, jump right in and rock a full-fringed jacket or if you just was to dip your toes; try a scarf or detailed shirt. Whatever your inner cowboy desires.However if you are willing to wait a little bit, Kate Moss x Topshop launches April 30th featuring Moss-approved fringe. Now go ahead and take a time travel back to the 70s.
