When you stumbled across this headline, you probably assumed that I was holiday shopping for the people in my life. While that's partially true, I'm currently holiday shopping for myself. If

you came for some gift-giving guidance, don't worry. Everything I'm buying for myself I would absolutely buy for my loved ones, too. But with some of my favorite holidays quickly approaching, I'm in need of more winter apparel to get me through fun gatherings, festive dinners, and gift exchanges while staying true to my simple style. I've been perusing Banana Republic's new arrivals for some much-needed inspo, and I can't stop adding items to my bag. All I can say is expect to see me strutting down the streets of NYC in the reversible faux-fur jacket and slouchy leather tote. Prepared to follow my lead and pick up some gifts for yourself and your friends? Just keep scrolling.
