1) Alexander Wang Metallic Bouclé and Mesh Sweater: Alexander Wang is awesome and this sweater is no different. Made of yellow, white, and metallic blue fabric, this piece adds an unexpected touch of cool to any outfit.
2) Céline Horizontal Gusset Cabas Tote: Unfortunately, this bag is sold out everywhere but I want it soooo baaddddd and can't stop obsessing about it. It's the perfect shape, big enough for all my crap, and looks so cool with the exposed zippers.
3) Irreverent by Carine Roitfeld: I posted about Carine Roitfeld a number of weeks back and mentioned her book, Irreverent. Since she stepped down from Vogue Paris, Carine has been working on this book of more than 360 pages chock-full of images chronicling her extraordinary work in the fashion world since the early 1990s. It would make a great gift for anyone interested in fashion.
4) J. Crew Silk Polka Dot Nightshirt: You can't go wrong with getting someone pajamas for Christmas. I love J. Crew's nightshirts - they're so comfortable and you don't feel like a total slob wearing them all day. This silk one makes a nicer gift, and if you shop online at J. Crew today, you can take an awesome 25% off your entire order. (Just use code "MERRY" at checkout)
5) Alexander Wang Intarsia Pullover: Okay, so anything Alexander Wang is pretty much dominating my Christmas list this year. This sweater is ridiculously expensive, but so flipping cool. I want to wear this with everything and never, ever take it off.
6) J. Crew Flannel Boxers: Who doesn't love flannel? These boxers look so cozy and would make a great gift. Again, they're 25% off today only!
7) 3.1 Phillip Lim Fine Stretch Jersey Top: This piece looks super basic, but the sheer chiffon sleeves and partial sheer chiffon back elevate this black top to a whole new level. It would be beautiful paired with a leather pencil skirt or with black jeans and heels. It would also look super cool worn with a vest like Isabel Marant's Sleeveless Tuxedo Jacket, or underneath a dress like they have it styled on net-a-porter.
8) Dessine-Moi Un Parisien by Olivier Magny: I just bought this book while I was in Paris, but I wanted to include it again here because it's absolutely hilarious. The English version is called "Stuff Parisians Like," and couldn't be more spot on in pinpointing the mysterious ways of the Parisians. Study up and enjoy this book to be mistaken for a Parisian or to simply laugh and be transported into the daily Parisian life.
9) Kurt Geiger Sweep Boots: I wear short black boots pretty much every day, so adding an alternate pair with a small heel wouldn't be a bad idea (hint, hint).
10) DANNIJO Mariella Earrings: I normally don't wear earrings, but for these beautiful crystal chandelier ones, I will make an exception. Actually, the only earrings I ever wear are big ones like these. This pair would really make an all black outfit stand out and look gorgeous contrasted with a sharp, strong-shouldered blazer.
11) Alexander Wang Leather Shorts: these leather shorts are exactly what I've been looking for. A lot of designers make a nice, clean leather short, but I love how Alexander Wang ups the badass factor with crinkled leather and exposed buttons up the front. With the perfect baggy fit, I want to wear these shorts all year round with tights and big, baggy knits in the winter (like the Intarsia Pullover!), and with casual tee's in the Spring/Summer.
More great Christmas gift ideas (for everyone) to come this week! À bientôt!
