The holidays are coming, and that means it’s time to start thinking about what gifts you want to buy for your loved ones (or yourself). These influencer favorites are available for wayyy less – and I’ve got the links to the dupes you want for your own wishlist and gift list this holiday season!
1. Designer Bow Pointed Mules
MACH & MACH Glitter Double Bow Crystal Pointed Mules at Nordstrom
You could purchase these gorgeous pointed-toe mules for nearly $1K at Nordstrom for those few holiday parties this winter. OR you could browse smart shopper favorites like Poshmark for these sparkly glitter-and-linen mules from last season J.Crew. They both have some festive sparkle, they both have bows, and yet that price difference is a game changer!
psst – use my referral code on Poshmark [mommys_a_model] for $10 off your first order on posh!
And for something similar but different, check these ASOS ballet flats! There’s that sparkly double bow, but without the kitten heel and add an ankle strap and feminine blush color.



2. Name Brand Candles
Specifically, this seasonal candle from Yankee Candle: Balsam & Cedar. Its yummy scent is in high demand in the winter months, but have you considered making your own?
This Balsam & Cedar fragrance oil from Lone Star Candles claims “a duplicate of the popular Yankee Candle fragrance,this scent has the uplifting aroma of majestic balsam fir supported by notes of lemon and mint, a touch of cedar and other woody aromas.” Added bonus for going the fragrance route, this oil is also soap safe so you can use it to make bath bombs, soap bars, and candles.
Or if you prefer to skip the candle and soap-making yourself – check out Etsy and support small makers and shops! Handmade soap can be just as powerful as a candle in a small space like a guest bathroom and can look so pretty on a soap dish. This balsam & cedar soap bar from MyLittleSoapboxco looks like a winner to me.



3. THE Sweater Dress
Available in a variety of neutral shades, the sweater dress in varying lengths, leg slits, and sleeve styles is all over our fall & holiday Instagram feeds (I’m speaking most specifically of the Queen of Fall herself, @cmcoving). I favor dresses with interesting silhouettes, midi-length, and with a fun accent either in the form of texture or accent sleeves.


Here are some of my favorite sweater dresses all under $50!
