holiday gift guide 2025 | my sparkly seasonal allie + bess debut

Uncategorized

November 3, 2025

Now this all new debut will cure your Monday blues… it’s time for an all new gift guide and this one is focused on all things extra special + sparkly = and maybe a few new baubles you need to gift yourself this holiday season!! Say hello to my latest seasonal debut with my go-to accessory brand, Allie + Bess.

We’ve been crafting some really fun and exciting things the past few months and today we finally get to unveil these beautiful new products… just in time for all the holiday shopping you’ve got to tackle. You know I love for accessories that bring joy, sparkle and those little extra moments of magic to your everyday life and these pieces spark HAPPY in a way unlike any other.

This season, I wanted jewelry that works for family date nights, holiday brunches, special occasion outings and even gifting = and still has that “yes! I feel festive” shimmer without going full-on novelty. With my all new debut with Allie + Bess, we’re leaning into everything I love about statement jewelry… lots of beading, fun color combinations, more meaningful charms, and pops of rich jewel tones that exude winter fashion + fun. Every piece is made to layer, mix, match [because you know me—I’m the queen of stacking], and feel like you, only a bit more twinkly.

As always, you can shop with 20% off sitewide on my new holiday collection as well as all my other go-to Allie + Bess favorites! That way you can shop small and save big and check off lots of recipients from your holiday gift giving list… let’s get down to the details of each + every item so you can pick your brand new everyday accessories and get them delivered fast!

The Bow Earrings

Bring on the festive flair = these oh so dainty + delicate bow earrings are sweet, subtle and just the right touch of holiday charm [and yes they come in silver, too]. They add that “gift-wrapped and ready” moment to any look without going overboard. Perfect for pairing with cozy knits or your favorite party dress because they exude charm and sophistication and can be worn all year for us girly girls!

The Rhinestone Sparkle Huggies

Your everyday hoop just got a merry little makeover! These huggies were designed by my Ava Hoops we designed last year [and are still A+B best selling earrings ever!!]… they shine with understated sparkle, making them the go-to earring for both weekday errands and holiday soirées. Lightweight and timeless, they’re the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again and make for a GREAT gift option as well!

The Holiday Charm Necklace

Lots of you have been collecting the custom charms we created to go alongside the statement Sawyer Necklace and I couldn’t wait to debut not one, but THREE new charms to the collection… we have the beautiful bow charm which coordinates perfectly with the matching earrings for that chic + stylish bow lover, the compass charm so that you’ll always find your way and then the red enamel heart [my personal favorite] = a classic style with a bold pop of color that makes me think of my favorite holiday movie, Love Actually [because LOVE is all around]. I love that Allie + Bess has created a trio set of charms you can purchase together if you already have the necklace OR you can buy the full look here. P.S. I wear the 15″ length necklace AND they’ve made it easy to create your own custom charm set… add any three charms to get your favorites all on one strand!

The Evie Beaded Necklace

A little gold, a lot of color and a whole lot of fun! This necklace features rich red + burgundy beads paired with a classic gold chain = in a gorgeous color palette that speaks seasonal flair and festive. It pairs well with all the colors of the holidays and it’s sure to grab you compliments over and over again!

The Holiday Bracelet Stack

Meet the ultimate arm party: the Melina, Rosy Pine Zo, Agnes, Evie and classic Gold Bangles…all bundled into one festive stack that’s bursting with color, texture and pizzazz! From bold red beads to soft pinks, a pop of evergreen and lots of lime with that signature Allie + Bess gold shine, this mix was made for merry moments. Style them all together for full-on holiday overload or wear them solo for a hint of cheer in your every day. The quintessential statement stack of the season has officially arrived!!!

The Maris Ring

Finally, lastbut CERTAINLY not least… let’s talk cotton candy = that perfect pop of holiday pink please!! The Maris Ring combines glossy enamel with a row of sparkling red rhinestones for that instant wow factor = a total winner for the winter! It’s a statement on its own but pairs perfectly with your everyday bands for a playful, stacked look.

Now before we wrap things up [see what I did there?!?!], I thought it was worth a glance to do a fun question and answer session so you could learn more about the sentimental meanings behind this collection and why we created these unique pieces… enjoy sweet friends and thanks as always for being the best group of supporters!! Our hope is that you love this collection as much as we do and itbrings a bit of joy to your everyday OXOX

This collection was inspired by all things glamour and glitz = a mix of seasonal sparkles but executed in a way that you can wear them on the daily throughout the holidays AND beyond! I wanted to create a series of special pieces that feel joyful and meaningful, with colors and charms that tell a story… afterall, it’s the happiest time of the year! Think bold, bright and bedazzled. It’s a little glam, a lot playful and totally wearable for all of your upcoming festivities as well as daily fun as well.

It’s no surprise I love working with Allie + Bess… I cannot believe we’ve been collaborating together for almost 5 years now!!! I love their authenticity and staying true to who they are, while bringing unique and fabulous drops to their loyal followers and customers! They celebrate women and love to bring the personality to each drop we debut together. We share the same love for meaningful accessories that make you feel confident and happy AND elevate your ensembles! Every collab we’ve executed together has felt like designing something ultra exciting with my closest friends — this one just adds a little extra sparkle given that it’s the time to glitter while you galivant around town!

I’m always inspired by the incredible women who raised me. My mother has ALWAYS loved a great accessory and her jewelry game is top notch = she’s not basic in any way and I love that she dresses to feel her best. Even more though, I find myself designing pieces inspired by my grandmother Carol. This week is a tough one in that she passed a year ago, but this is a special way for me to honor her AND celebrate everything she taught me about apparel + accessories… always overdressing because you only live once, accessorizing to make your outfit even more fabulous and cherishing every moment of the holiday season with friends + family alike.

I love stacking and layering of course = more is more in my book and I’ll never NOT love the excess!! My go-to look is always incorporating just one more accessory. I wear them dressed up or down, depending on the day. The beauty of Allie + Bess is that it all works together = from brunch to holiday parties and is GREAT for gifting to those you treasure most!

You know I LOVE the break the rules… but here are a few tips + tricks that always work well to make your style yours:

+ Don’t be afraid to mix metals AND unique color combos = try to step out of your comfort zone and it always adds interest to your look, ESPECIALLY when it comes to jewelry!

+ Play with a variety of textures and prints… I LOVE a good mix and match situation. If you’re wearing a super cozy sweater, go big and bold and style it with a sequined skirt or if you’re donning a traditional tartan plaid shirt, add some visual interest with leopard jeans for an eclectic option to your everyday.

+ And one more for good measure = try to include at least ONE sentimental item that feels personal. Whether it’s incorporating a vintage brooch handed down to you from your grandmother or possibly wearing that fur coat you normally only bring out for special occasions, it’s time to dress everyday like it’s your last!

Hands down my arm candy stacks… I feel like they are SO different than anything else A+B debut and we are always wanting to keep things fresh + fun for all of you to shop… not only for yourself but to share with others around you! Trust me, they make a major statement in the best way possible and I never leave home without it…

In case you hadn’t realized quite yet, I’m a color-loving girl through and through! I go through cycles where I gravitate towards greens + blues [especially during the holidays], BUT I will say that my favorite color combination [and no I can’t pick just one] will forever be bubblegum pink and red. I feel like it strikes the perfect balance between girly and bright and the duo is absolutely dynamic together!

I LOVE that this has been A+B’s motto for 2025… I feel like I live in color because I’m not afraid to color outside the lines when it comes to design and what I wear. I share my daily outfits with my followers and I love that I can help them feel confident when they walk out the door everyday. For me, it’s showing neutral lovers that they can, in fact, incorporate color into their wardrobes and still make it feel effortless and chic.

This holiday collection is for the woman who loves to celebrate — the one wrapping gifts with their favorite Christmas songs playing, hosting friends around the mahjong table, or dressing up for festive nights out with her family. She wants her accessories to shine as bright as the season, and these pieces bring that perfect mix of cheer, color and sparkle to every moment! I love that they appeal to women of ALL ages making them more accessible to all…

Flashy. Fabulous. Festive
