Last Minute Holiday Shopping

Happy Monday, friends! It's Christmas week... hurray! How's your Christmas shopping going? Over the weekend I managed to check off almost everyone on my list with a full day of shopping at 

Santa Monica Place

(did you see

my takeover on IG

?) and of course, ended up with some new holiday shoes for myself (typical!)

 Ever since moving to the westside, SM Place has become my one stop shop - they have the big retailers like Bloomies + Nordstrom and tons of great speciality shops like Ted Baker, Kate Spade, and The Kooples. Not to mention all the yummy eats! Anywho, see what I scooped up below + some tips/ideas for last minute gift shopping:

The

Bloomingdales shoe department

 is fantabulous! Let's just say it's kind of my heaven. They have some great festive shoes for Christmas + NYE in case you're still looking. I ended up getting these

Vince slip-ons

which are going to be on heavy rotation come the new year.

While I was there I browsed their

gift guide

for some last minute stocking stuffer ideas. If you have a friends that are in to candles, 

Nest candles 

are the best; they smell amazing and last forever. Here are a few other great under $50 items, all of which can be ordered online + picked up in store!

After Bloomies I stopped by

Karen Millen

to look for a few accessories for my bff. Of course, I stumbled on this insane camel coat:

Isn't she a beauty! Sadly, I didn't come home with her; it's hard to justify coat purchases when it's only cold in LA 1 month out of the year. You know what I mean? I did pick up

these cute poofs

for a few of my girlfriends (and

one for me

!)

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + '://' + 'widgets.rewardstyle.com' + '/js/shopthepost.js';d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') {window.__stp.init();}}(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script');

After dragging myself away from the beautiful camel coat, I headed to

Sole Society 

to find a bag for my mom. She's been wanting a black clutch and I knew Sole Society would be the stop.  I mean look at this shoe + bag goodness:

I love Sole Society's price point - you can find really beautiful styles under $100 that look super luxe. Here are a few of my fave giftables:

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + '://' + 'widgets.rewardstyle.com' + '/js/shopthepost.js';d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') {window.__stp.init();}}(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script');

Most are available in store + they're currently doing free 3 day shipping to make sure you get your goodies by Christmas! Speaking of goodies, somehow I walked out with a

pair of shoes 

that I'll be rocking all this week!
