A cooler way to wear a monogram. Stencil Initial Letter cuff, $48 at C. Wonder.
This limited-edition shimmer brick imparts an instant glow (even when you haven’t seen the sun in months). Bobbi Brown Nude Glow Shimmer Brick, $45 at Macy’s.
The black and white print of these calf-hair gloves is more unexpected than leopard, but just as chic. $148 at Anthropologie.
A gold drip turns this dainty china set from classic to awesome. Reiko Kaneko Drip Tease set, $85 at Shopbop.
A decade-by-decade tour of the magazine’s best work. $33.39 at Amazon.
Because YOLO. Embossed notecards, $20 at East Dane.
These earrings combine glass beading with carved resin arrowheads for an updated, understated take on glam. Resin Arrowhead earrings, $75 at J.Crew.
The most elegant of basic tableware. Kate Spade New York Fairmount Park salt & pepper set, $30 at Lenox.
We love the way this hand-dyed pouch pairs the Japanese tie-dye front with a metallic linen back. Shibori zip pouch, $58 at Rebecca Atwood.
The classic Diana Lomography camera, but done in a über-glam gold. Diana F+ Gold Edition mini camera, $79 at Anthropologie.
Modern-organic at its best, with a just-edgy-enough spike shape. Katie Diamond Nola spike studs, $123.25 at Leif.
Like Holly Golightly’s fab eye-mask, but in clutch form. Harlow embellished satin envelope clutch, $76.80 at BCBG.
The Alexander Wang for Beats by Dre collab is totally sold out, but that’s why this is a fantasy list. Alexander Wang for Beats Pill speaker, $299.95.
Gorgeously luxe and perfectly modern. Stone column slider bracelet, $295 at Lele Sadoughi.
The basic coaster, but elevated way, way up in solid brass with on-trend geometric patterning. $35 at Poketo.
Yes, nearly $700 for slippers and an eye mask is over-the-top extravagant. But have you ever seen a set this charming? Charlottte Olympia silk satin slippers, eye mask and pouch set. $695 at Neiman Marcus.
We love the golden foil finish of this feather-adorned tray. Glass tray, $35 at Jayson Home.
There might be a cat theme here. Diane von Furstenberg headphones, $95 at Shopbop .
These decorative ceramic canisters belong in our home, ASAP. Alexa canister, $89.95-$99.95 at Z Gallerie.
We’re still not over the coolness of a great ear cuff. Floral-stone ear cuff, $38 at BCBG.
The best of the glittery nail polishes naturally comes from Jin Soon. These topcoats are meant to layer over your favorite solid lacquers for a party-ready sparkle. Holiday Toppings trio, $48 at Jin Soon.
