Jeanswest Gift Guide Under $100 For Him & Her

Sharing my final gift guide for the year. It's no secret I love Jeanswest! It's my go-to place for jeans (even while pregnant) and a large percentage of my wardrobe was bought there. Mostly on sale too. Below are my top picks - a few things for him and for her. Everything is budget friendly and under $100. If you're a rewards member, log into your account to get 40% off everything!



Gifts Under $50










These are great stocking fillers, little extras to add to a main gift, or ideal secret Santa pressies. Accessories are always a good idea if you don't know what size your gift recipient usually wears.


Gifts Under $100


If you have a little more cash to spend, all of the items below are over $50 but under $100. Shirts are usually a pretty safe bet for guys who work in an office as you know they will get worn.









I made a handbag gift guide if you want to check that out too. It's suitable for any budget!



As usual, I still haven't finished all my Christmas shopping despite having aimed to complete it before December. Just have a couple final gifts to get and I'm done. How is your Christmas shopping coming along?

Handbag Lover Gift Guide

The ultimate gift guide for a handbag lover - no matter your budget, there's something for everyone. This was a hit when I did it last year so I've updated it and brought it back again this year. Click the plus signs to see pricing info and visit the online stores to buy.



Budget Buys Under $50




Perfect for anyone who has more bags than they need, stocking fillers, or someone with a wishlist of bags that are out of your budget. You can enhance the inside or outside of their current bags with cute stickers, charms and pouches or card holders. I've included a wonderful example of the bag hook I've raved about before, perfect gift for a mum. And of course there's the handbag raincoat for someone who has everything!


Mid-Range Marvels Under $200




Perfect for that special someone you have a little more money set aside for. You can get small accessories like card holders from a brand you know they love, or even treat them to a little piece of a brand they've always admired but never bought. Mini and micro bags come into this price range and make great gifts. Well worth saving up for.


Surprising Splurges - Over $500





Perfect for anyone who has an expensive taste in bags, unwrapping one of these for Christmas would be an incredible surprise. Safest to stick to neutral colours if you're spending big. Buy for yourself after a lot of research or for someone else after receiving a lot of hinting, and maybe a lotto win!

Hope you found this useful! Will you be buying any bags or bag related gifts this Christmas?

November Purchases and Cyber Monday Sales

It feels like I just shared my October purchases, but we are nearly at the end of November already! If you are still Christmas shopping, I've included some Cyber Monday sale codes for you below along with my latest purchases. Many of the Black Friday sales I shared in my gift guide post are still active too!


What I Bought


I didn't buy much in November and stuck to trying to find things off of the clothing wishlist I shared last month. I ended up taking advantage of a Jeanswest sale and using a gift card I had to get two of the things off of my wishlist. Both the tank and shorts were things I'd been wanting for a while.







I was really lucky to have a partnership with Glue Store and recieved credit which I used to update my denim collection for Spring. I bought three things:







I wasn't sure if I should include the three items in this wrap up post or not, as they were items I received as part of a partnership. What do you think, do you want to see items like that in my monthly wardrobe updates? This is the first time it's happened in the 11 months I've being doing this type of post, so it won't be something that comes up a lot. I also got a maxi skirt from my mum as an early Christmas present I've been wearing frequently.



How I Wore It:

I'm really pleased with my purchases, and how much I've worn them. Everything got worn at least twice. I didn't spend much this month, using the gift card for most of my Jeanswest purchases and using the credit I was given for the other items. I have been focusing on buying gifts for others as Christmas approaches, and hoping for some clothing shaped presents or gift cards under the tree!

Cyber Monday Sales



As promised, a few Cyber Monday sale picks! In some cases these discounts are better than the Black Friday ones, so hopefully you can score that perfect item you've been wanting or save more money when buying Christmas gifts! Hurry though, a lot end tonight.

  • ASOS have 20% off everything with code 'GOGOGO'. If you're in the US use 'THANKFUL30' for 30% off. Everything means everything on site - including already reduced items!
  • Rebecca Minkoff has up to 75% off PLUS get 25% off your entire order when you spend $100 or more!


Happy shopping! How are you going with your Christmas list? I just have a couple more things to buy in-person, I did the last of my online shopping this weekend and I'm hoping everything arrives before Christmas! I need to make a start on wrapping next.
