It’s officially the season…

And it’s safe to say that I am officially a last-minute shopper. For those kindred spirits who, despite all their best intentions, still have a substantial list of gifts to purchase and less than a week to check them off, no need to fret. While I may not be full of inspired gift ideas for everyone on your “nice” list, working in retail has given me an edge on fail-safe options that our shoppers (and staff) have been coveting.

Some top contenders:

Chan Luu scarves

While the designer is known for her jewelry (especially her signature wrap bracelets), her scarves have proven to be a top-seller at dress. The cashmere and silk fabrication manages to be both tissue weight and cozy (perfect all-year here in SF) and are available in many colors and prints. Solids are $195, prints $245.

Marc by Marc Jacobs “Tate” totes

Easy, functional, and a staple in any woman’s bag wardrobe.  Medium size $188.

Julie Rofman bracelets

A great way to add a little pop of color and visual interest to any outfit. Perfect alone or layered for maximum impact.  $79 – $165.

Trina Turk cocktail rings

For the girl who loves a little bling.  $65 – $125

All items available at dress.

Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!
