With each year I’ve gotten older, it has become so much more evident how much I cherish quality gifts over quantity. This season, I want to share with each of you to give better with Cuyana.

You may remember last year (see here), when I teamed up with Cuyana. Well since then I’ve become thoroughly addicted to the high quality of their pieces and receive so many compliments with each use.

Perhaps it’s the unmistakeable quality of Cuyana pieces. Their essential pieces for the modern women are stylish and always on trend from year to year. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately, so I knew that this neutral perfect cape would fit very nicely in my closet. Not only is it chic, but it’s a timeless piece I know I’ll have in my wardrobe for years.

While I carry a tote a lot, I like to keep a clutch of some sorts inside so if I’m ever in a pickle, I can simply leave my tote behind and have a chic clutch to carry my necessities. This envelope clutch is actually meant for an iPad, but it’s versatility is perfect for all aspects of my life.

I encourage you to give better with Cuyana this holiday season. Focusing on the quality of a singular item over the quantity of multiple is an important aspect of maturing, in my opinion. For me, realizing that asking and gifting timeless and classic options over trendy items is much more fulfilling and personal.

Give better with Cuyana and the recipients of your gifts will definitely be grateful for the time you took to pick out something with intention.

Visit their site for a list of best sellers and their gift ideas. I’m telling you, you won’t be sorry you stopped by!

This post is brought to you in partnership with Cuyana. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that help make Adored by Alex possible.

    Love this outfit! I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older than I tend to ask for (and give!) gifts that will last longer and are better quality (although they tend to be more expensive haha)
