This gift guide goes out to all the fashionistas + trendsetters out there. I had so much fun putting this one together and would 10000% wear all of these items…some of which I currently own or have in my cart as we speak! Be sure to check the end of the post for some bonus items!

Can we take a moment to talk about this J.Crew Italian Tweed Coat, I mean COME ON!!! The color is absolutely stunning and provides such a pop in a sea of neutral colored winter coats. This coat would be fun to dress down with some mom jeans and mules or dress up with a fancy jumpsuit and pumps for a holiday party.

Next up is a classic yet feminine Kate Spade purse [I told y’all I have an obsession!]. Every trendsetter needs a good bag to carry with her and this one has such a classic style that will last a lifetime. I have a black Kate Spade purse so similar to this one and it’s lasted me about 6 years and counting and still looks to be in perfect condition. The quality is amazing and definitely worth the investment!

Praise the trend of mom jeans, they are the best! The cool and casual fit is perfect for everyday wear with Vans or mules. I even love them paired with a classic pair of pumps and a tee, such a rockstar look! These mom jeans from Abercrombie & Fitch are top notch. I love that they have some distressing but it’s not overkill by any means; just enough in my book! They are also high rise which is a HUGE win in my book; I’m not a low rise jean girl at all. Abercrombie makes some of my favorite jeans that I own; the fit and quality is so great.

No trendsetter’s outfit is complete with a rocking pair of statement earrings. There are styles galore of these to fit anyone’s style. I love these simple beaded black hoop earrings from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar. The price is on point, too, at just $12.99!

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of classy gloves so I can stop wearing those cheap little knit gloves that are all of $5 and don’t keep your hand warm. These cognac leather gloves are exactly what I’ve been looking for! They are even lined with cashmere, I mean does it get any better for cold winter days?! The best part is is that they have tech-touch so you can keep your hands warm but still snap + post the perfect shot for Instagram or send that urgent email.

A girl can never have too many scarves and I certainly have quite the stash of my own! This color-block cashmere scarf from J.Crew is so classy and it will go with basically any and everything. Pair this with those cashmere gloves and we will be nice and cozy this winter!

I have a slight watch obsession! I currently have one Kate Spade and one Marc Jacobs because I couldn’t decide which to keep…oops! This black silicon watch from Kate Spade is just stunning. I love the gold bow accent on the side for the time adjuster; such a cute + dainty pop of fun! I’m also a huge fan of the face of the watch being black, it makes such a statement. This one is definitely on my wish list!

If you don’t have RayBan aviators you are missing out. My parents got me my first pair for Christmas probably 3-4 years ago and I’m completely obsessed! I’m not a fan of thick, dark frames so these are perfect. They are classy, timeless and well worth the investment. I wear mine nearly every single day, even when it isn’t super sunny - no shame!

Last up on the trendsetter gift guide is this killer pair of leopard pumps from Nine West. Give me alllllll the leopard print this season!! I’ve had such good luck with shoes from Nine West; durable, comfortable, and stylish. I definitely have had my eye on these leopard print pumps for a while. The print gives any outfit a pop but it’s also feminine and classy.

And that my friends is the ultimate trendsetter gift guide! So many classic + staple pieces that every fashionista needs in here closet. Happy trendsetter shopping! [ don’t forget to check the bonus items below!]
