2016 Christmas Fashion Gift Ideas!

You know how much I raved about Zalora in this post here and ever since then I can't get my self off of their website. If I only have that much money to spend in the Zalora website, I would've splurge it on everything.

Lately, Zalora has been launching new shops in the mainstream one of which is Beyonce's line of active wear—named after her precious daughter, Blue Ivy—Ivy Park and with the help of Lemonade, the Ivy Park brand has been sky-rocketed to fame. Zalora don't just boast Beyonce's marque, they also have an amazing line-up of famous brands like Nike, Guess and even Dolce & Gabbana—all at the palm of your hands.

As we near the Christmas Eve, people have been frantically shopping here and there. All malls are jammed with shoppers cladding huge shopping bags in both arms, some of them carrying a stroller filled with other items and for God knows where their child is—with their fathers, of course; and some of us here just doesn’t like that kind of situation, we prefer the comfort of our plush sofas, unlimited internet and our self-gratifying touchscreen smartphones that seems to just do all the work. Our last resort is online shopping; it is an art all by itself. Carefully organized by color, size, brand, and price—what more can you ask for? Shopping just by a touch of a finger, queue for “what kind of sorcery is this?”

But not all couch potatoes out there are fashion-savvy and it is a crime to buy a gift based on intuition; you have to base it on facts, conversations, Facebook statuses, or wish lists. There has to be something that gives away the interest of your receiver; but since fashion items dominate Zalora, you should then base it on their style.

I have sort out these styles—that I have noticed to be most hyped and are dominant in the fashion industry—to help you identify your gift-receiver’s preference. I will provide telltale signs to make your evaluation seem like a 1-2-3 task. So, happy hunting—and may the odds be ever in your favor.

The Instagram Baddie

If you frequent on Youtube, don’t deny that you always came across “Instagram Baddie Makeup Tutorials” titles there, and the thumbnails usually consists of straight-haired, capped, bold-lipped, made-for-the-gawds smokey eyed girls that just embodies slay. They’re a bit tricky to spot though because their style kind of looks like the sexy sophisticate’s but she always likes to switch things up so just pay attention to consistencies in her feed and you’ll be able to identify, right away, that she’s one helluva Instagram Baddie.

·      You guessed it right, she frequents the gym

·      She is either a successful Youtuber or a winner in life

·      She takes you in this roller coaster of expensive boutiques

The Birth By Earth

She’s your type of friend that just tugs at your conscience every now and then when it comes to the hot topic that seems to bother everyone: climate change. Invites for girl’s night frequent your messages but she’s always that friend that stands out because she invited you this weekend for a tree-planting activity held in an isolated yet divhayn place.

·      She travels to lush forested destinations

·      She doesn’t wear heels because she believes wearing flat sandals roots her closer to the Earth. This is when the “down-to-earth” adjective was coined.

The Fashion-Savvy Nerd

They’re like the modernized conservatives. A low-key sexy sophisticate with a touch of school spirit. Nerdy women have evolved throughout the years; frequently characterized on chick-flicks as the awkward, braced, acne-plagued creature but now, TV series have glorified them as powerful women with a keen sense for appropriate fashion.

·      She’s in the supreme student government

·      She carefully thinks about her fashion choices that sometimes when you’re with her pre- a fashion event, you almost thought she’s calculating the weight on her heels, the circulation of air in her flowy blouse and the speed of her hand she should maintain in order to get that magazine-like hair flip

·      SHE WEARS EYE GLASSES—or contact lenses

·      She’s your tutor—in fashion or engineering mathematics

·      Her Instagram feed is minimalistic or sometimes dominated with pastels

The Hungry for Grungy

Her interests are difficult to fathom like her thoughts. Her fashion choices are deep and have meanings that only few can relate to and you have to coax her into pinpointing her need. She’s a beat poet and a beat poetry all by herself. Don’t mistake her for an emo though because she’s way different. She’s in the song I love It by Icona Pop “You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch”.
