How to Shop for Holiday Gifts Like a Fashion Editor
A fashion editor by trade, Chrissy Rutherford has made a name for herself as the industry’s unique perspective on style. With stints at Cosmo and InStyle, the consultant and social media superstar spent her nearly decade-long tenure at Harper’s Bazaar shaping and honing the website's voice and influential Instagram account. And that was all before she co-founded a consulting group dedicated to helping fashion companies build anti-racist brand identities earlier this year. Career aside, Chrissy’s own fashion sense and good taste has made her a much sought-after street style star—always wearing to-die-for looks that are very much her own (a trend-chaser, she is not). Naturally, we wanted to know, how does someone like Chrissy shop for the holidays?
Here, she shares her picks for everyone on her list—including a couple of timeless treats for herself.
For my mom: Croissant Dôme Hoops
“My mom has worn hoops pretty much every day of her life, so I’d love to update her look with these Croissant Dôme Hoops that feel a little more elevated.”
For my dad: Black Onyx Square Signet
“My dad used to have a signature ring just like this that he lost a few years ago on vacation. This would be the perfect replacement.”
For myself: Diamond Tennis Bracelet & Signet Ring
“I’ve been wanting a Diamond Tennis Bracelet for so long, it’s a great layering piece and so timeless. I’m also a sucker for anything personalized, hence the signet.”
For my best friend: Beaded Ring
“Buying this for my best friend’s collection of stackable rings—she’s a pro at it.”
