Comme des Garcons Low-Top Converse Sneakers


Holy Converse, Batman! These are adorable. But maybe I'm just partial to CdG's cute little heart with eyes. It's darling and a little creepy at the same time. You know what I really love about these kicks? They're elitist Chuck Taylor's. Yup. That's the main appeal. The whole "my shoes are better than yours because they were harder to find and more expensive" thing. I'm shallow, I know. Get over it.

AllSaints Steine Biker Jacket


I LOVE AllSaints. They're different. They're edgy. They're British. They do several things right. AllSaints practically wrote the book on how to make asymmetric apparel look sexy and chic. (Think Vivienne Westwood with a grungy flair and at more affordable prices.) And then we come to the topic of their leather jackets… <takes a deep breath> Look. At. This. Jacket. It's perfection. I almost wish that I had a Harley so that I would have an excuse to wear it all the time. It's that major. And all of their leather jackets are this hot. Forget Justin. AllSaints is bringing sexy back 24/7.

Grey Zig Zag Jonathan Adler TOMS


Does the name "Jonathan Adler" sound familiar to you? It should. He's designed everything from decorative trinkets for the house to a limited edition collaboration with Tumi so that even your luggage can boast his snarky flair. Now, Monsieur Adler and his team have joined the do-gooders at TOMS to make sure that underprivileged children the world over have the chance to get a pair of shoes when you buy one. I love the geometric pattern on this grey pair and the good cause that purchasing them would support. Granted, I'm pretty certain that a small child in Rwanda won't be given a matching pair...

Diane von Furstenberg Miranda Strapless Short Jumpsuit


Hello. My name is Constance. I'm a grown woman, and I have a romper obsession. I'm practically shaking looking at this one from DVF. I'm not usually a huge DVF fan (which you wouldn't know, given that this is my second DVF post on here), but this Chili Pepper confection is smoking hot! I've been known to pair my rompers with cardigans and obscenely high heels or wedges for nights out or with flats for a day of...well...romping. And I would do just that with this piece. It's the perfect piece for vacationing somewhere sunny. Not only does it take up less space in your luggage than separates would, it can spare you the agony of going through all of the random bits and pieces that you've packed and trying to come up with a sensible outfit. (I write this as a girl who more often than not packs all of her pretty and expensive things without any regard for how they work together.) Anyway, buy this romper. Or just buy it for me!

Tom Ford Large Kidskin Natalia Bag


Meet Natalia. Isn't she a beauty? I've always believed her to be Tom Ford's answer to Hermes's Constance. She's the perfect size (large enough to stow all of the essentials), and she can be worn crossbody. Extra props for that. The only thing that makes her even more appealing to me is how few people have been spotted rocking her. Call me an elitist, but don't you think that something is that much more special when fewer people have it?

Herve Leger One-Shoulder Below-Knee Bandage Dress


Don't judge me. I have loved this dress ever since I saw it on Sonja on an episode of Real Housewives of New York. If it can make that disgusting cougar look hot, just imagine what it would look like on someone younger and hotter! The only modification I would make would be to take the hem line up a few inches.

Monique Lhuillier Asymmetric Draped Gown



Oy vay. Could this gown be any dreamier? The asymmetric flowiness of this dress seems absolutely ethereal, almost like it was spun from clouds that drifted too closely to the ground and were delicately sewn together by a nimble tailor who caught them quickly in a butterfly net. It's heavenly, and it truly shines on someone with the palest of skin. It has magical powers and can turn any fair maiden into an elvish princess or a muse who has been kissed by Zeus himself. <dreamy sigh>

Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Earrings



Oh. My. Gawd. Van Cleef's onyx Alhambra earrings have been on my lust list from the second that I first laid eyes on them. Have you seen all of those cheap clover pieces that everyone's sporting? Well, these are the originals. The real deal. The ultimate "it" piece. I will never buy a knock-off because nothing compares to the real thing. I'm an all-or-nothing kind of girl. I'd rather go without than purchase something that's an imitation of greatness. These are timeless perfection, and the last pair of earrings that a girl will ever need to buy. Mucho gusto!

Oscar de la Renta Strapless Gown with Bubble Hem Peplum



Hellooooo, gorgeous! Senor de la Renta has done it again. This dark confection is chic perfection and absolutely worthy of a royal function or the Oscars. I don't know why, but I'm really loving the peplum look this season. And this gown has a marvelous peplum, perfectly matched with the fitted silhouette of that fabulous skirt. It's all that and a bag of potato chips. All you're missing is a young, handsome prince to lead you around on his arm.

Tory Burch Aimee Flat


How cute are these? Tory Burch is totally channeling Audrey Hepburn here. Everything about them is chic perfection, from the color blocked pointy toe to that darling bow. Wear them to work. Wear them on the weekend with cuffed jeans. Wear them with a little black dress for a night on the town. Wear them everywhere. If I had them, I sure would!

Chanel Watercolor Flap Bag


$2,000+

I have been having multicolored dreams ever since seeing this bag from Chanel's 2014 Spring/Summer collection. Unlike many other Chanel bags (and all of mine), this bag is canvas as opposed to leather or patent leather. Of the many versions of this bag that I've seen, no two seem identical because the colored swatches are always sewn differently. Kinda makes this bag the cheapest "unique" Chanel that you can buy right now while still boasting the classic flap style. Not available online, you'll have to contact a Chanel boutique to purchase it.

Rene Caovilla Chandelier Sea Stone Ankle-Wrap Flat Thong Sandal


This shoe has been called "jewelry for your foot." I couldn't have said it better myself. Well, maybe I could, but I won't try. This shoe is absolute toe bling. Every time I see these, I think to myself, If Disney princesses wore sandals, they would wear these. I specifically can see Jasmine wearing them with her cropped tops and harem pants. As un-prissy as I am, I adore these. I can't see myself ever spending that much for a pair of sandals, but my inner Disney princess alter-ego would rock the hell out of 'em!
