Holiday Gift Guide: College Co-Ed and L'Artiste

This is the last of our holiday gift guides!  Hopefully you've found some ideas to suit all the unique personalities that make a group of friends (or family!).

The College Co-Ed
Who is she?  Well, it's pretty obvious--she's a student.  Though distracted by classes and searching for her dream job, she attempts to be [comfortably] fashionable.


What to shop for:  Items that are neutral--that can be added to any outfit and still look put-together.  Sure bets include bags large enough for books/lap top/gym clothes/etc., shoes that are cute but comfy enough to hike around campus all day long and anything denim.



The Artist

Who is she?  She's the one who stands out from the crowd at every opportunity--and fashion is no exception.  She's unique in her look and her personality and she brings her art into her everyday life, whether it's interior design or her makeup for the day.  She's serious about her art (and craft), but she also loves new, fun experiences.
What to shop for:   The artist loves pieces that evoke artistry  (obviously).  Graphic prints, unique shapes, and bold colors fill her wardrobe (along with basic black and brown to match it all).  She loves vintage and independent designers because she does NOT want to look like everybody else.


We hope you've enjoyed our gift guides!  Today/tomorrow is the LAST DAY to order to make sure your Miskabelle purchase arrives in time for Christmas (next weekend, people!  can you believe it?!).  

Some huge changes will be coming up on our site--and the blog--with the coming of the new year, so stay tuned!  Thank you, again, to our readers and customers.  Your support means to much to us.

2010 Holiday Gift Guides: Modern Romance and Travellin' Woman

Today, we peruse the shop for items that will delight The Romantic and the World Traveler.

The Romantic

Who is she?  The romantic falls in love several times a day--sometimes with a boy, sometimes with a pair of shoes, sometimes with the winter light on the sidewalk.  She's feminine and sweet, but that doesn't mean she's not tough. She's not a clueless ingenue either:  she's a modern girl who sometimes wishes she'd lived in another time.

What to shop for:  Pretty and delicate pieces.  Florals and lace are a huge part of her wardrobe, but don't underestimate the power of a slinky little black dress.   She loves looks that recall the 30s and 40s:  dresses, nipped-in waists, and subtle details.



The World Traveler

Who is she?  The world traveler is a girl who is down for anything.  She loves adventure—last minute road trips, spur of the moment get-togethers, and of course, journeys to foreign lands.  This girl doesn’t like to sit still for too long, so she is always sure to be prepared for last minute escapades (Drive all night to the nearest beach?  Hop on the red eye to visit her friends abroad?  Why not?).  

What to shop for:  Anything that can be layered—think lightweight jackets, cardigans, hats, scarves. Look for items with an ethnic-feel (fun prints, interesting colors)—pieces that might have a special story behind them.  Also consider items that are comfortable and sturdy (leather bags, boots) for this girl on the go.





Which kind of girl are you?  If you haven't found yourself yet, maybe you will tomorrow! Stay tuned...

J&A
