ONE.  TWO.  THREE.  FOUR.  FIVE.  SIX.  SEVEN.  EIGHT.  NINE.  TEN.


ONE:  Smith & Cult ‘Shattered Souls’ Nail Polish

While the name is slightly concerning, this glittering gold polish isn’t. Paint on bare nails for a subtle sparkle; layer over jewel toned polish for a fierce look.

TWO:  Smith & Cult ‘Dark Like Me’ Nail Polish

One of the darkest, sexiest oxblood polishes I’ve ever seen. Exactly the type of deep burgundy I was thinking of when I mentioned it going perfectly with camel + black looks.

THREE:  Ringly ‘Into the Woods’ Emerald Smart Ring

You know when you’re in a meeting/having dinner/at a gym class and you’re feeling a bit disconnected? This ring connects to your smartphone and subtly flashes colors that correspond to different alerts.

FOUR:  Aquazzura Tie-Back Metallic Sandals

Do these even need a description? They’re stunning. And I can attest to the investment; anything I’ve ever purchased from this brand has fit like a dream and lasted for years.

FIVE:  Halston Heritage Fox Fur Collar Coat

Winter white is such a trend this season; I love all-cream looks with pops of camel accessories. While the color is fresh and current, the style of this coat is incredibly classic and timeless.

SIX:  Swarovski Coffee Table Book

You can’t go wrong with a book covered in bling! The beautiful book “celebrates a history of collaborations in fashion, jewelry, performance, and design”.

SEVEN:  Oliver Peoples Jade Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Of course the eyewear artists Oliver Peoples would come up with a stunning cat-eye design. I’m picturing these with a wool fedora and scarf in winter, floating polka-dot sundress in the summer.

EIGHT:  Byredo ‘Gypsy Water’ Perfume

Luxury perfumers Byredo created this scent to capture a romanticized version of the gypsy lifestyle. “The scent of fresh soil, deep forests, and campfires illustrates the dream of a free, colorful lifestyle close to nature.” Amber, vanilla, and sandalwood keep the scent soft and sexy.

NINE:  Stella McCartney Panther iPhone Case

Complete with teeth surrounding the phone screen, this case is a conversation piece in itself. As soon as I saw the luminous green crystal eyes I knew I had to add it to my list.

TEN:  Balenciaga Papier A4 Zip-Around Tote

This tote is for the edgy fashionista; the ruby red color is anything but shy. I also wanted to add the Goyard Marie Gallante GM Tote in black/tan to this guide, but I was unable to find a great photo online. It’s the classic counterpart to this feisty Balenciaga tote and even comes in a shade of red to match.

Speaking of luxe gift ideas, be sure to enter my Christian Louboutin lipstick + Starbucks gift card giveaway. The giveaway ends in just three days… I’ll draw two winners this Sunday December 13th.
