Fashion Pulse Daily Gets Gifty at ModCloth
Check our our guest blog and holiday gift ideas from one of our all-time favorite e-tailers, ModCloth!
Leading up to the holidays, we’re asking a few of our favorite people to give advice on what to give this season. First up, the lovely Julia of Fashion Pulse Daily!
Here’s what she has to say about the items pictured above:
For the BFF: Paper Planes Neckace – “She’ll love it, and you have automatic borrowing rights, since you guys share everything anyways…”
For Mom : Pear-y Cute Bento Boxes – “She’ll appreciate a chic update from the semi-translucent and blue-lidded tupperware!”
For the Boyfriend’s Sister: The Treasure Tree Jewlery Stand – “Thoughtful and cool, yet it doesn’t impinge on her own personal style.”
For the Intern: Knot Your Average Bracelet – “Because she’s ‘knot your average’ intern – cool, quirky, and a little thank you for her hard work”
The “Oh, I Didn’t Expect You to Get Me Something” Backup Gift: With the Grain Coaster Set – “Definitely gives the appearance of a thoughtful gift – everyone could use more of these”
The Office Grab Bag: Happy Hedgehog Mouse Pad – “It’s gender-neutral, totally practical, a great price, and uber adorable.”
For Myself (Come on, I Deserve It!): A Stud-y in Chic Blazer – “I just can’t resist the sheen emanating from the lapels”

Mistletoe Worthy Winter Uniform
From our friends at thefind.com:
Snowy days can present a wardrobe challenge if you are not properly prepared. For me a combination of military coat plus waterproof dressage boots and cossack faux fur hat are my standard snowy day uniform. This tailored look works for city streets and a few handpicked snowy mountaintop occasions. It may not work for sub zero temps, but it works for most winter days. A cossack hat covers your ears, keeps your hair in place and you won’t need to wear muffs. I own a cossack faux fur hat and I love how it adds a bit of cold weather whimsy and wintertime luxe to my look.
Dressage boots are the real deal, worn by equestrians during their romps in the ring. French bootmaker Aigle’s Dressage Rubber boots are sturdy and are made to slosh in the rain and mud. I picked up a pair of Aigle boots from Tal-Y-Tara, a local polo/dressage gear and tea shop here in San Francisco. The Aigle boots pictured here are also available from J.Crew for $195.
A military inspired coat adds a tailored appeal to this wintery ‘uniform’ and pairs perfectly with the dressage boots for a sleek look. Go long with this Marc by Marc Jacobs Wool-felt military coat ($399 at Net-a-Porter). Or opt for a shorter belted version like this charming Latte by Coffee Shop Double Breasted Military Coat with Belt ($285.60 at Bloomingdales).
Accessorize your winter Doctor Zhivago inspired look with the cossack fur hat and a pair of long lined leather gloves such as these from Alfani which sell for $53.99 at Macys.com. You’ll be glad you dressed up for the snow days ahead, you never know when you’ll get caught under the mistletoe!
