We know, we know: it’s Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but in addition, #HANUKKAH is super early this year!  So, your favorite stylist, Holly Katz, has hand-picked some very fashionable gift ideas to share with y’all! #OneForTheJews Introducing the Fashion Crimes Podcast Hanukkah Gift Guide, packed with stylish items from our #BestieBrands: women-owned, independent designers and creator brands who live and breathe the slow-fashion movement.  We want you to #ShopSmall this year (and always, duh)! Oh, and don’t let us forget to tell you at the end of the show: we have a Hanukkah Gift Giveaway event going on right now on the Fashion Crimes Podcast Instagram account, running through Nov. 28, 2021. Stay tuned for how to enter!  Anyhoo, Holly has been busy scouting one-of-a-kind fashion items that are “Holly-Approved” and definitely not fashion crimes - nor gifts that will ever be exchanged or shoved in the back of a closet.  In this week’s episode, we introduce 5 of our #BestieBrand designers and Holly’s recommendation for the best gifts ever: #1.  ALLY SHOES, NYC  Created by designer Samantha Dong in NYC, these shoes are made for walking! After suffering from heel pain and a serious hiking injury, Samantha had a difficult time finding comfortable and stylish shoes. So, she partnered with a podiatrist, a former innovative director at Nike, and a very talented designer to start this brand and create a truly pain-free high heel that still looks stylish! Ally Shoes gorgeous styles - which include a classic pump, a kitten heel, a strap heel, and the wildly popular block heels - also offer many different sizes, with four different widths from narrow to extra wide. Shoe sizes run from 4 through 12, with half sizes, so anyone with any kind of foot shape can really find their perfect fit in our shoes. Of course, we cannot recommend gift ideas without trying them on for you to check for fit and function. Holly fell in love with their style, of course. But as you will see if you visit her Instagram account, Holly is literally dancing and twirling in these amazing shoes.  SHOP at https://www.ally.nyc #2. CRISCARA JEWELRY Second on our Gift Guide is modern, bohemian jewelry for jet setters, dream chasers and magic makers, created by designer Crista Grasso. Holly met the glorious Crista in Arizona at the She Podcasts LIVE event this fall - and Holly knew instantly that this jewelry would be perfect for her clients, to give as gifts - and for all y'all!! Criscara’s very affordable and sexy jewelry designs are 100% made in the USA and are a very high-quality fashion line that she created to help people express their individuality. Crista feels jewelry is a strong part of self-expression. So, when she wasn't finding anything that represented her, she started creating items for herself, and the rest is history. Holly is really drawn to the boho, desert, festival, free spirit vibe. Crista loves layering necklaces, and she is well known for her hand- and foot-chains, which are some of her best sellers. If you picture a bracelet connected to a ring and an anklet connected to a toe ring, that's the style she represents...easy, fun, boho and free-spirited. If you're heading out to a networking meeting, and you're shaking someone's hand, when you have these amazing hand-chains on, it's a great conversation starter.    SHOP at https://criscara.com/   AMANDA PEARL Amanda Pearl jewelry is a women founded, women run, sustainable fine jewelry brand providing revolutionary pricing and sustainable luxury.
