I couldn't go through this Christmas season without doing a gift guide for the southern girl! I mean this is "a sunny side of southern" and all ;). So, to all you southern ladies or men out there looking for something to get your girlfriends, daughters, sisters, or cousins, look no further because I have you covered!
Warning - it's a little lengthy but I've pictured and linked below each gift I think will be the perfect for your southern gal, so here goes!
I don't know any southern gal out there who doesn't have a little bit of home state pride! I think one of the cutest things about this necklace is the option to engrave a heart into the city of where your southerner lives...the best personal touch!
This aztec print poncho is perfect for the southern gal who has a bit of western in her! The great thing about this poncho is it's reversible (2 for 1...whoo!) This would look perfect with a black or tan wool floppy hat and black over the knee boots...just my two cents ;)
Speaking of over the knee boots...I'm in love with these babies! Are they not so chic?? I have a million different ways of wearing them racing through my mind as I type this but we'll leave that for another blog post! Ha! If you're not into black so much, these also come in taupe.
In my opinion, every southern girl needs a monogrammed purse! This Marley Lilly bag comes in many different color and monogram options to fit your perfect southern gal!
What more could a girl want...tortoise and pearls?! When I saw this bracelet on Bauble Bar, I just knew I had to have it! It's small enough for a cuff, versatile with all colors, and I think the pearls just add that southern touch.
I personally love to get hair products/tools for Christmas because I'm usually either in need of a new one or just want to try out a new tool! The Bombshell 1inch curling iron (it's just a barrel, so it's basically a wand) gives you the perfect wavy look and I'm a big fan Ion straighteners and their quality (the price tag isn't too daunting either!).
What's the point of having styling tools with no styling products? My all time favorite hair products have to be Big Sexy Hair...the southern girl's dream ;) For as long as I have been doing my own hair, I've gone through quite the products. I've always wanted to try Big Sexy Hair but I'm not a fan of the price tag. Luckily for me, my aunt had a bottle and let me try it out...I've never looked back! Now, I've only tried the hairspray (which can be bought at TJMaxx for less but beware of shotty bottles) and I can only imagine how wonderful the other products are. For the southern girl, I've chosen the powder play (for those of you who love dry shampoo...this is essentially the same, but just gives your hair some texture), the hairspray, and the teasing spray for the ladies who love that big hair!
I was a little on the fence about getting one of these when they first became popular because 1.) they're a bit pricey depending on the size you want, 2.) I couldn't decide between silver or gold, and 3.) how much would I actually wear it? Well, let me tell you...I probably wear this necklace 4-5 times a week and I always get compliments on it! It's absolutely beautiful, elegant and the perfect southern touch to just almost every outfit. I'm telling you ladies, you can't go wrong with this necklace! I went with the gold, but I'm dying for a silver one! (hint hint, mom ;) )
For the southern gal who loves Lilly. This iPhone case is so cute in my favorite print - Let's Cha Cha!
If there's one thing a southern girl loves (or any girl for that matter) is makeup! Give your southern gal a palette that is sure to last her a while with a variety of quality eyeshadows!
What is more southern than gingham? I love this pajama set from Vineyard Vines for the girl who loves her beauty sleep!
Lilly and tassels...the perfect combo! I love Lilly scarves because they're light enough to wear in the spring and also adds a bit of brightness to those dreary winter months after Christmas!
Again with the tortoise (insert heart eyes emoji here). It's so versatile and the monogram is the perfect personal touch!
I would be willing to bet your southern girl already has a pair of cowboy boots...but can you really ever have too many pairs? ;) I think not. Give her a fresh new pair of boots that will go with anything!
I don't think I could speak more highly of Reese Witherspoon's new brand, Draper James. I love everything she comes out with, everything the brand stands for, and of course, all the southern touches. This mug is perfect for your coffee lovin' (or tea) Southerner!
I don't know about you, but I have thing for key chains. And a key chain that is monogrammed...sold!
Get your Southern girl a pair of personalized sandals to go with her monogrammed necklace and cuff! Who said diamonds were a girl's best friend...give me a monogram! Also comes in other color options.
If you know me at all (or read this blog), then you know how much I adore Kate Spade. I couldn't possibly go through this list without including something from this amazing brand. A few months ago, Kate Spade made this southern girl SO happy by adding a monogram option to there bags and wallets! For just $5 extra, you can personalize that new wallet or purse for your special southern girl. For this particular wallet, it comes in many colors!
I love to have jewelry that is 'everyday' jewelry. This necklace is just that. It's a little pendant (that comes in many colors) that is the perfect little dainty necklace. Kendra Scott has tons of jewelry options (big, small, bright and neutral) that you can't go wrong with whatever you choose!
There ya have it, folks! I hope this guide has given you some ideas as to what to get your southern gal!
Stay sunny,
Katie
Love your picks! I have the monogram clutch and those cowboy boots and I love both! Now I have my eye on that gingham mug :)
