Over the last couple of weeks, we have shared some of our favorite gift-worthy items from retailers near and far. Because time was on our (and your) side, we were focused on the lazy-belle way of shopping…online. Now that “the big day” is only a little more than a week away, we decided to scour local shops to find the very best they had to offer in the grab-n-go category (no sizes needed, easy to wrap – or have wrapped – and not too hard on the wallet).
From Muse Shoe Studio…where the selection goes far beyond shoes…
hair ties in the form of jewelry to adorn that ever-present ponytail (in our case). $6 individually-$44 for the set (from “by Lila”)
a huge selection of Hobo wallets
scarves galore
“BootKeepers” to protect that investment
these sets of studs will suit young and old (and the multi-pierced)…$30 for the set
Morse Code bracelets (so clever)…$45
this Dolce Cabo faux-fur vest…just $98
From Gages…
these Conditions are Perfect flasks make for perfect conditions…just sayin’
a conversation piece with a noble purpose…one belle-husband must have! ($135)
doesn’t every nest need a holiday scent right now?
for the teacher…for any belle on the go…we must all be prepared!
every belle likes to snuggle up…Lands Downunder can help
to help keep track of those keys…only $19.50
and back to always bein’ prepared…never know when you might have to have a Moscow Mule!!
From Twill…
an impressive selection of Graybill and Downs candles and body lotions…a scent to suit all noses
keep her ears fashionably warm…$75
quite a selection of blanket scarves
Baggu pouches…like butter…only $64
this edgy, pink Rebecca Minkoff…only $95
a large selection of Gigi New York…always a winner
keep her organized with these fun cosmetic bags…$45-$55
From Savvy …
assorted beanies to suit all tastes
what belle doesn’t need a fashionable hand??
oh-so-popular felt hats …$38
THE earring from Sheila Fajl…she needs multiple sizes, of course
a Melvin race to the elbow will make her happy ($27-$45)
a bargain of a tassel necklace…only $32…you can put every color in that stocking, just sayin’
and a brand-new shipment of blanket scarves…get ’em now…they go fast!
From Monkees of the West End…
oh-so-chic and earth-friendly “Sew Few” bags…made right here in Greenville!
every belle needs to stay fashionable…even in soggy weather (from the Fillmore)
Hunter boots and more Hunter boots…a no-brainer!
Furrrrrr vests…just yummy ($285-$335)
T Marie necklaces would make any belle happy
YOU get a Sylvia Benson…and YOU get a Sylvia Benson…wait for the screams
über-fashionable Daniel Wellington watches for him and for her!
Mary Kate & Ashley have scored with their Elizabeth and James line…she needs a piece (or two)
Ho, ho, ho!!

In order or be ready for summer, there are a few must-haves…
To keep our moneymakers out of the sun and stave off the wrinkles, a hat is always a good idea…
We adore this chic sun hat…get it here.
And this one could come in handy all year round…just sayin’ …
And whether we like it or not…swimsuits are a must!!!
This colorful number is available right here.
If prints aren’t your thing, we love this bright pink bandeau and scoop bottom by Ella Moss.
Of course if y’all are more on the modest side, a one-piece might be more to your liking. We think this white one looks resort-ready. Available here:
And we love this Ode to Pucci maillot.
For those of you who are …shall we say, more well endowed…how about this halter top bathing beauty?? And it’s reversible!! Thank you Shopbop.
Strolling to and fro and trotting up to the tiki hut may require a cute Cover up. from Bloomingdales:
Of course, a kaftan is another great option.
Also from Bloomingdales .
And we do love a jumpsuit …especially after along day in the sun or the air conditioning that tends to feel like the frozen tundra. Another score from Bloomingdales.
We can’t possibly head poolside or to the beach without a bag full of sunscreen…here are a couple of totes that we are totally giddy abou!!
Love the pom poms on this one
: Can’t y’all see carrying it to the farmers market on non-beachy days???
Of course, we couldn’t resist this one either…just makes us do a happy dance!
And after cooling off in the water, y’all are going to need a little something to help dry you off. We are very partial to a Turkish towel. It’s soft, absorbent and takes up no room….and it gets bonus points for acting in the role of a sarong in a pinch!
We thought this was a fun color but they come in a wide variety…so pick your favorite hue of the moment!!
So belles, grab that sunscreen and your favorite sunglasses. Hope to see y’all poolside!!
