Winter Wish List

November 16th, 2011



With the holidays just over a month away, I’ve already started to keep an eye out for gifts (for myself and friends). This year, I’m all about classic staples (with a playful twist) that will stand the test of time – like a pair of statement oversized sunglasses, a neutral cape, or the ideal boot for running around the city. Here are a few of the items that I hope to splurge on (or find comparable alternatives at a fraction of the cost).

1. J.Crew The Great Caper $398
2. Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle $60
3. Madewell Spotted Snowfall Hat $35
4. Rag & Bone Classic Newbury Boots $495
5. J.Crew Wynter Sweater in Sequin Stripe $118
6. Kate Spade Bubbly Dot Saucer Pair $80
7. Eberjey Cat’s Meow Cotton-blend Playsuit $75
8. Elizabeth and James Pratte Taffeta and Silk-organza Skirt $365
9. Pamela Love Silver-plated Dagger and Resin Necklace $205
10. Prada Butterfly-frame Acetate Sunglasses $290
