the second best time of the year
Holiday time is my favorite time! Except for my birthday (month), which is in June FYI. Well now that we’re talking about it, it’s June 21st—the longest day of the year—which really is fitting as my birthday should be celebrated as long as possible. But enough about that.
I love holiday festivities and decorations so much that my apartment is decked out in colorful lights and has a big Christmas tree in it, even though I’m Jewish. Don’t worry, my menorah is out as well!
So what have you decided to get for your loved ones? Or more importantly, what do you want? Lucky for you, I always have a list prepared.
For her:

A Comme des Garçons Wallet perhaps? This is one of my personal favorites.
Anything Catbird. Seriously, this dainty jewelry is (one of) my latest obsessions. The Alphabet Rings are perfect because they are customizable for your gift receiver.
This Diana Mini and Flash Gold Edition Camera is tiny, cute, and can be worn around your neck like an accessory! Chic.
Safety pins in your ears. Hott.
It’s cold. Your hands need a pretty place to snuggle: Acne Studios Gloves.
Add a little sparkle with this Phillip Lim Clutch—it’s what the holidays are all about.
For him:

Yum. Can’t you see your man in these Common Projects Sneakers? The gray color is delicious as well.
A clean man is a happy man. Well-groomed is sexy on everyone: Aesop Grooming Kit.
Le ski, le cute. Perfect to wear on winter getaways during après ski drinks.
It’s ridiculously cold in Chicago during the winter. Wrapping this cozy Theory Scarf around the neck will help.
This card holder is essential for la vie of your gift recipient.
Get one, get them all. No matter what you decide, if you’re choosing from these hot commodities you can’t go wrong.
