LINK-END ROUND-UP: December 01, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

I seriously can’t believe it’s December and this year is almost dunzo. Let me stop, because the thought is giving me anxiety.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Link-End Round-Up, but I was experiencing some technical issues. That’s the main reason I haven’t been posting, but also life has been doing the most. I guess that’s normal for this time of year.

I’ve been working on getting into the holiday spirit – I did get my tree up! Unfortunately, my tree isn’t sparking the same joy it did last year. I think I know why and what would fix it, which I’m going to try to do this weekend. Also, going to make sure my favorite Christmas movies are playing for inspiration. šŸ˜€

At the moment, my weekend plans include a possible nail appointment and going to seeĀ  Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ movie with my bestie. So far, it’s panning out to be a nice weekend. I hope you enjoy your weekend and check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up. Honestly, I think all of these reads are really good.

GIFT GUIDE: Gifts for Her | STAINED COUTURE

GIFT GUIDE: Gifts for Her

Gifts for Her 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

I almost didn’t do any holiday guides this year, because the holiday sales for Black Friday. Even the Cyber Monday sales weren’t doing it for me. The only thing it did was make me want to do a couple of Christmas 2023 Gift Guides.

As usual, I started with a gift guide of gifts for her. However, I think this guide is for her who is into cozy vibes and living a soft life. If you have someone like that on your shopping list, then this guide is for you.

GIFT GUIDE: Gifts for Her

  • Brushed Wool Scarf – A gorgeous, wool scarf will never not make great gift.
  • CROC Furry Slides – Are the furry CROCS out of stock everywhere? Yep, but these furry CROC slides look pretty cozy, too!
  • Sephora fragrance sampler – Perfect for the woman who loves to smellĀ  good but you don’t know which scent to get her. This sampler includes some of Sephora’s popular scent and card to get a full size of one of the scents. It’s such a great and they sell out every year.

eSTYLIST: Fall Uniform 2023

eSTYLIST: Fall Uniform 2023

Fall Uniform 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Has it officially been Fall for over a month now? Yes. However, has the fall weather been taking it’s sweet time in showing up? Absolutely. Therfore, I’m a little late with trying toĀ  figure out the vibe I want for Fall. Somehow I landed on cozy grundge and I’m not mad at it.

To be honest, it’s been feeling more like Winter the pastĀ  few days around my parts. I was not ready for lows in the upper 20s and highs in the low 50s, but it’s been happening…a lot! I probably should’ve addedĀ  coat to this look, but I”’ hold off for now. Yoy may notice that I didn’t include a bag for fall. Well, I’m still toting perfectly worn Madewell tote and actually works with this look, too.

Still, my style is very laid back, but can easily be dressed up or down, if needed. I think look aligns with my style and vibe for this season. All the details of this look are below.

eSTYLIST: Fall Uniform 2023

  • High Waisted Black Skirt – Honestly, this whole look is based around this skirt. I’ve been wanting a high waisted fitted skirt and I love the small slits on each thigh
  • Cable Knit Button Down Cardigan – Personally, I can’t imagine most fall looks without a sweater. A cable knit cardigan will always work for me and the chunkier the better.
  • Outkast Photo Tee – I’ve always loved the look of simple oversized cardigans over fun graphic tees and this Outkast one works perfectly for this look.
  • Super Opaque Black Tights – I want to start buying black opaque tights like I do black leggings; I need them all!
  • Platform Boot – How sick are these lace around Doc Martens?! I gave away the last pair of Docs I bought, but I think I need this pair.

LUST-HAVE LIST: November 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: November 2023

LUST-HAVE LIST: November 1, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

We made it to November, which means it’s practically Christmas! Well, maybe not just yet, but I know people have already begun pulling out their boxes of decorations. I had planned to take my tree out last weekend, but I forgot that Dias de Muertos was this week. I usually pack my Day of the Dead decor with fall and my BFF gave me an altar for my birthday. My altar is for my mom, who was Mexican American, which I’m going honor.

However, this weekend, I have a feeling that my apartment will be looking a little fa la la. Although the December Lust-Have List is basically my Christmas wishlist, this month’s list are things I can’t take a chance on my personal Santa Clauses not getting for me.

So, check out this month’s Lust-Have List for November 2023.

LUST-HAVE LIST: November 2023

  • Pumpkin Dutch Oven – The pumpkin dutch oven was hard to find item last year and I need to get one. The traditional pumpkin one is nice, but this cream one is versatile.
  • Eagles Jersey Ornament – Isn’t this jersey ornament adorable? However, it turns into a bag charm when the tree comes down. GO BIRDS!
  • Powerhold High Waisted Legging – If you’ve never experienced Fableti leggings, you need to change that ASAP! They make my go-to legging, but I’ve lost some weight since buying them. Therefore, they don’t compress like they use to and I need another pair – probably a couple!
  • Cute Compression Socks – Speaking of compression, I need to add compression socks, too. I started working out more and compression helps with muscle soreness and these are super cute.
  • Perfume Sampler Set – I bought this sample set last year, because you get a card to select a full size of one of the sample in the set. I got it last year and even did a TikTok series of me trying a new scent everyday to help figure out which one I wanted. In the end, I selected YSL Black Opium, which smells so good. I want to do it again this year and see which scent I select. I’m already excited!
