Holiday Wishlist with Ellie Alford

*Okay typing fingers, slow down*

I am so excited to write this little blog to share MY top 5 things on my wishlist 2024. I’ve learned recently that I love to shop! Correction. I always knew this. But Christmas shopping for others and creating my own list, is one of my favorite things EVER! I love to think about gift giving all year long because when you pay attention to what people mention that they want/need, the holidays are a great time to show them that you Listened and that you care about them. And I always love to make it easy. I not only make a list but I include links and sizes ASAP. So here you go…my shortened list for 2024: 

1.Standing Steamer

I know, random. What 25 year old thinks of this? Me. I’ve been thinking I’d like to elevate my public appearances by making sure my clothes are taken care of and crisp. To dress nicely for where I’m going and who I’ll be with. So…*added*!

2.Typology Makeup

I love to put on makeup, of course, but I don’t personally desire to make it look like I have much on. I came across a Tik Tok of a woman who is American and moved to France and one of the biggest changes she’s made is her makeup routine. The French wear such minimal makeup and this brand, Typology, is a French makeup brand that initially was a skincare line so they’re combined! I had to try and I LOVE so I’m getting more!!

3.Loafers (+ Sneaks)

Soo many cute loafers out there nowadays it’s hard to choose. So where did I land? Right here with these Cabernet babies. (I had to throw these sneakers in here too because they are unbelievably cute so maybe they’ll speak to someone too!)

4.Carbon 38

With pilates being my favorite and most challenging hours of my week (hopefully and thankfully), I am throwing a new set on my list from this incredible brand. The material is amazing so for my go getter ladies, trust me!

5.  Custom Engraved Necklace

I have a special and unique saying with my Dad that we’ve kept around for as long as I can remember. This year, since 25 feels sentimental to me, and my dad is a tad older, I thought this year was reasonable to get this special lifelong piece into motion. I can’t WAIT to see how it comes out and to wear it everyday, near to my heart.

P.s. Mary Frances can engrave just about any of her online styles!

I want to hear what’s on Everyone’s list to keep inspiring me, share em in the comment!! But thank you for letting me share what I’m jotting down!!!
