As Senior Editor, this is my go-to list of trend-forward, cool-girl gifts I can’t stop thinking about.

Alo

Alo is “cool” girl-approved, and the Faux Fur Cashmere Northstar Full Zip is at the top of my list this season. This is the ultimate cool-girl gift through and through because it’s structured, plush, and unmistakably modern. I especially love how the soft architectural volume, sleek ribbed sleeves, and exaggerated cuffs strike the perfect balance of statement and sophistication this winter.

Best Buy

The Oura Ring 4 Sleep & Fitness Smart Ring is at the top of my Wishlist when it comes to tech because it’s a “cool” girl wellness must-have with next-level Smart Sensing that adapts to your body.

I recently discovered my new favourite self-tanning brand- Loving Tan. For a deep, rich tan, I love the brand’s 2 HR Express Mousse Ultra Dark, but this year I’m adding the Deluxe Face Tan Dark to my Wishlist. This is the perfect “cool” girl gift if you want to get your glow on because this shade offers a rich, naturally bronzed finish that’s effortless, flattering, and never overdone.

Victoria’s Secret

Victoria’s Secret is a “cool” girl go-to for chic PJs and cozy essentials. I’m wishing for the Satin Shine Stripe Long Pajama Set this year because they bring everyday decadence to life with their chic sheen and allover crystal-striped sparkle. Finished with the brand’s signature rhinestone logo, they truly turn lounging into a full-on moment.

Dyson

As someone who loves upgrading her fave haircare essentials, the Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer – Straight+Wavy in Amber Silk is definitely a top item on my Wishlist this year.

A fashionable and functional puffer jacket is the ultimate “cool” girl essential for the winter. At the top of my Wishlist is the Aritzia Super Puff™ XtraShorty – cliMATTE™, which is a must-have that delivers iconic warmth in the brand’s boldest, shortest silhouette yet. Engineered for -10°C weather and filled with ultra-light, responsibly sourced premium down, it packs serious insulation without the bulk.

Elsa Hosk’s sense of style is the definition of “cool” girl chic, which is why pieces from the latest Dynamite Holiday Collection featuring Elsa Hosk are number one on my holiday Wishlist.
