Despite all the pre-holiday planning, we always find ourselves in need of a last minute gift for that one person we managed to leave off our list. This season, Lauren and I turned to Nordstrom Rack in search of the perfect gift for our friend Claire. We came across so many amazing finds, like jewelry, makeup and designer sunglasses, that we had to remind ourselves who we were really shopping for! What did we end up picking for dear Claire?

Louis Philippe de Gagoue
I felt like I struck gold after discovering Morocco-based blogger Louis Philippe de Gagoue, thanks to Justina Blakeney. I found myself perusing his blog, page after page, delighted by his incredibly unique and fun sense of style. A pink plastic colander as a hat? A brightly paisley cummerbund paired with a leopard shirt? Dear Louis Philippe, how about I come to Morocco and we go shopping together??
