Holiday Gift Guide 2023

Thanksgiving is tomorrow.. which means we can all officially listen to Christmas music without any pushback! Don’t worry, I listen to Christmas music whenever I want! Okay.. now to the gift guides.

I separated my gift guides into different sections, so my “gifts for her” collage might look a little sparse – but that is because there is also a “haircare” gift guide, and stocking stuffers. Overall, these collages are literally guides – meant to give you inspo to tailor your gifts for your friends and family. Which is also a big reason why my “gifts for him” guide is always small compared to my other collages. Whether the man you’re shopping for loves the outdoors or prefers to splurge on tool boxes – there’s just no happy medium to combine everything into one collage. so, I just keep that one simple – a mix of clothing, cologne, and something I think all men will enjoy!

Remember, as with any other sale or holiday- stay within your budget. It’s the thought that counts!

Also! I want to mention two items that I think would be great gift ideas for anyone interested in skincare. The first one is this Major Fade Solution System from PillowtalkDerm. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I really like the products! It’s made to help anyone fighting their dark spots and aging – I’d say this is great for anyone in their 30s and up! Plus, the founder, Dr. Shereene Iddriss offers a ton of free tips on her YouTube channel.

The second item is the Nu Skin LumiSpa! The sale starts Nov. 22nd and the bundle (LumiSpa + cleanser) will be 15% off, bringing it down $40 and making it about $216! I will leave the link for the bundle here, but DM me on my Instagram for a special promo I can offer you if you buy a LumiSpa! If you’ve been on the fence about buying it, check out my blog post with comparison pics (I was skeptical too!). I love mine and now actually look forward to washing my face – hey, I’m surprised too! This deal will run until Monday, Nov. 27. *LumiSpa heads are also 20% off! I’ll be buying a few for myself! *Message me on IG (@christinaonair) so I can get you the right products! I find the site a little confusing, so this will make it easier for you!

My Puffer Vest Collection

Tis the season for puffer vests! We might be a little past that here in Montana, but I’m sure we’ll have a few “warmer” days where it’s not totally freezing here.

To me, a good puffer vest can add a lot to your outfit, and really help elevate it. I don’t consider myself a real fashion blogger/influencer, but I do feel pretty fashionable in a nice puffer vest – lol. In fact, my puffer vest collection has grown since moving to Montana – I only had one puffer vest in Colorado!

Out of my four puffer vests, half are from Amazon and the other half came from other shops. Fortunately, I found similar options that are still available; so three out of the four puffer vests I’m sharing are from Amazon.

  1. Black Oversized Amazon Puffer Vest
  2. Cropped Amazon Puffer Vest
  3. Free People-inspired Amazon Puffer Vest (very similar looking to the one I bought from an online boutique)
  4. Brown Teddy vest (I don’t have this one, personally)

As for sizing in all of these – I wear a size small. Even if a puffer vest says “oversized” on Amazon, I still get a size small.

What I love most about puffer vests is the versatility of them. I can wear them with jeans, leggings, and even sweatpants. So, it’s perfect to wear when I’m out running errands, or lounging at home and want to look a bit more put together.

I have a try-on of my puffer vest collection in my YouTube video down below.

LTK Fall Sale 2023

The LIKEtoKNOWit Fall Sale officially began today! If you’ve been planning to shop this sale, you probably already know what you’re purchasing (and maybe already did so!). If you haven’t shopped yet, then my blog post might be helpful to you!

The LTK Fall Sale is an exclusive in-app (LTK) event, featuring several different brands (I feel like a lot of them are always part of any LTK Sale, including Abercrombie and Fitch and Aerie). The sale is between 15% to 30% off. Sincee this is an exclusive in-app only sale, be sure you’re following me on LTK!

Those brands include:

I won’t be making collages for every brand participating in this sale, but I can share my favorite Abercrombie jeans! I’ll link my favorite denim in the images below:

What did I buy?

I personally haven’t been looking for anything in particular and really wasn’t planning to shop this sale. However, I did see this denim midi skirt from Abercrombie and thought I would give it a try since they seem to be the latest rage these days. I’ll share a try-on of it when it comes in, on my Instagram account.

Since this blog post is going up on a Thursday night, I’ll be sharing an Abercrombie denim try-on sometime tomorrow. I love see try-ons of clothes I’m planning to buy – it really helps me see how the fit is, especially if it’s another petite content creator doing the try-on – which I always appreciate!

Sizing in Abercrombie jeans

I almost forgot to mention this! When it comes to Abercrombie jeans, I typically get my true size (denim shorts too!). However, when it comes to high-waisted jeans, I’ve recently started going up one size – I’ll share the jeans I did this with in my IG try-on tomorrow.

-My other Abercrombie pics –

Happy shopping!

An Honest Review of Skims Bras

When it comes to bras, I feel like it can take YEARS to find the one you love – the one you want to stick with! I believe I have finally found it: Skims.

I started exploring Skims through their dresses first, then quickly made the move to their undergarments. I quickly fell in love with the brand. Turns out, Kim Kardashian knows what she’s doing. Everything I own from her brand is comfortable and great quality. And yes, the same goes for the bras.

At this time, the newest bra released from Skims is the Teardrop Push-Up Bra. My social accounts were quickly filled with ad videos showing off the fit of the bra, including women of all bust sizes. The one thing I didn’t see, was the inside of the bra itself. So, I’m here to show it to you!

I’ve tried on a ton of push-up bras growing up, and I can say this is one of the best and most comfortable push-ups I’ve ever put on. In fact, I knew I had to give an honest review of the Skims Teardrop Push-Up Bra. It’s a great bra, but it’s just not for me.

I believe it really depends on how you feel while wearing it. While I felt great support and coverage, I feel like it just made me look a little extra; over the top. While I do agree, the bra does give great shape, I’m not looking for the extra oomph that it gives me. However, if that is something you’re looking for – go for it!

Skims TearDrop Push-Up Bra Try-On

On the left side of the image above, I’m wearing my true size in the Skims Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra (my favorite bra!). On the right side, I’m wearing the Teardrop Push-Up Bra. The difference is crazy! I hope this helps you understand why I decided against keeping the bra. BUT – I did keep the Fits Everybody T-Shirt – I’m obsessed!

However, I have quite a few Skims bras in my collection already. I have fully made the switch to Skims bras not only because they’re comfortable and last, but after so many washes, I have yet to find any spots that fade/tear/fall apart. Nothing has been damaged and started poking me – like I have found with other bras.

Amazon Prime Day 2023

Amazon’s Prime Day Sale isn’t something I usually go into detail about, and the reason is because this sale is so challenging to make a guide for! Amazon is a huge supplier of many different products, so a guide on so many areas that you can shop for will easily and quickly be overwhelming – especially when you see so many from full-time influencers – prepping for this sale is truly a full-time job.

What is Prime Day?

Amazon’s Prime Day is a special sale exclusively for Prime members, with deals on a variety of items across different categories. This year, it runs from July 11-12. Not a Prime member? Join here.

Are there sales now?

Yes! There have been rotating sales in the days leading up to it (another reason why this sale is so challenging to keep up with when you have a full-time job), so it’s helpful to keep checking the changing deals every day to see what you can score!

Prime Day Tips

As with any big sale, I recommend you go into it with a focus in mind. This is a sale that you know comes every year – do you want to focus on home items/decor? Or maybe fashion and clothing for the upcoming season? Electronics? Go into the Prime Day Sale with a focus (and a budget!) and I promise you will do better than you thought!

Since I won’t know the full details of what will actually be on sale until the day of, I’m sharing my Amazon favorites for different categories including home, fashion, and pet care! I find this will be a lot easier to do now instead of trying to get collages and a guide together after working a full day at my full-time job.

I’ve pinned a Prime Day 2023 folder at the top of my Storefront, and I’ve also pinned my top Amazon favorite purchases. I’ll continue to update my Prime Day folder as I see sale items come in the day of, that catch my eye!

Of course, if you are looking for something in particular, let me know and I’ll be happy to keep an eye out for it once the sale begins.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023

It’s officially time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is my top favorite sale to shop every year – and the preview is such a big help! I love the fact that you can preview the sale, add items you’d like to purchase to your “wish list” and then move them all to your cart when you’re able to access the sale. It saves so much time and makes the whole process less stressful!

What is the NSale?

It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale/fashion event of the year where you can save on brand new items and home and fashion essentials! The sale runs July 11 (if you’re a Nordstrom card holder. Apply here.)- August 6, but public access to the sale starts July 17.

As usual, access to the sale is broken into tiers:

Since I’m a Nordstrom Card holder, I’m able to shop the sale on July 13 as an “Influencer” (everyone who has the Nordstrom Card starts out at the “Influencer” level.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the items full-time influencers share, will sell out QUICK! For example, the Barefoot dreams blankets are always part of the sale, and I’ve never been able to grab one during it. It’s also very frustrating because I see a lot of these full-time influencers buy multiples of one item for giveaways!

This is why my guide will have a mix of a few popular items that are always part of the sale (like Spanx faux leather leggings), and other items that I don’t think will sell out as quickly.

Feeling overwhelmed with all the sale collages being thrown at you?

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when all you see are sale collages on social media. Here’s my technique – go into the sale with a focus. For example, one year I focused on loungewear (must have been 2020/2021 during the COVID-19 Pandemic). Another year, I focused on jewelry/accessories. Also, give yourself a budget – there is no need to go into debt over this sale! Because I’m planning to buy one big item this year, I may not buy anything else, or I might buy one or two items for a total of three items. We shall see!

My NSale Guide

I think the NSale is a great time to stock up on Nordstrom brand jewlery – the quality is great (they don’t turn my skin green!) and it’s very affordable! It’s also a great time to stock up on basic pieces like tanks and trench coats that carry you from fall to winter. Below are my guides that I hope help you find your focus for this year’s sale.
