We all know how important a role our environment plays in our day-to-day style choices. This is truly the case for Isabella Swan—the inspiration behind today’s Gift Guide, better-know as Bella Swan. Portrayed by Kristen Stewart in the The Twilight Saga, her style is more relaxed and practical as she braves the elements of the northern hemisphere and undoubtedly focuses more on being cozy than chic. Her down-to-earth vibe has an appealing simplicity. While present picking for your giftee in this vein may not sound like much fun, we suggest shopping for her through the eyes of Bella’s beau Edward Cullen. More aware of the trends yet appreciative of her unique modesty, he’d subtly try to ‘upgrade’ her current options—say, the oversized Jansport backback for the modern Hobo International cross body bag, or the canvas Chucks for the All Star patent leather version. Trek through the remainder of our gift list for more Bella-approved basics with a modern twist.
