[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]he Monica Vinader bracelet I purchased on Black Friday renewed my love of fine jewelry. I used to feel that if you were spending such a large amount of money on silver, gold, and precious gems, it should be on a classic piece you’ll wear forever. But what’s the point of being so serious and, well, boring? Jewelry should be a joy to wear. I’m in love with these infinity rings by Astley Clarke. They come in an array of candy colors like blue topaz, amethyst, emerald, pink sapphire, and orange sapphire. They’re certainly investment pieces, but they’re a heck of a lot more fun than your standard-issue platinum and diamond eternity band.

I have no interest in learning how to ski, but this guide does make ski towns sound appealing.

This eye-catching bracelet by MAU is a striking piece on its own, but would also stack nicely with other favorites.

This beach-themed Covetable post is a departure from the holiday sparkle and cocktail dresses we’re all hunting for right now. However, we’re considering a trip to Florida in January and I just want to shop for warm-weather pieces. Surprisingly, last summer’s Tory Burch sandals are still available for just $132. I have a pair of heels from the same collection that are a little snug, but I just might give these a shot. I’m also planning to snag this pair of sandals. This scallop detail is irresistible, plus I have a discount code and reward coupons to bring the price down substantially.

I know the bag featured above is staggeringly expensive for most of us. You can snag a similar vintage version on eBay. (Remember when raffia bags were in vogue? I wasn’t going to spend a boatload on a new one and bought a vintage version on eBay for around $10. So much cheaper and you get the satisfaction of telling people it’s vintage when they ask about it.)

And speaking of handbags, a friend from college now manages a Chicago-area Tory Burch store and gave me a Friends & Family coupon for 30% off a purchase through the end of the month. I also received a $200 Visa gift card from work as a holiday gift. It’s the perfect storm for a purchase, right? I really want this bag. The mod design makes my heart skip a joyful beat. Or, should I pick something more practical like this satchel? It’s still on the smaller side, but will probably fit my camera. Decisions, decisions.

Of course we can’t put a price on our furry friends, but I will point out that Americans love them enough to spend $56 billion on them last year. Just let that sink in for a minute. Fifty-six billion dollars. That obscene amount of money pretty much proves that a pet-centric gift is going to be a home run, especially if it teaches the pet to pull its own weight in the household. (Seriously, it’s about time Bacon starts earning money to pay for his food. He gets more Instagram likes than I do!) And, while I didn’t include it here , this inflatable cat unicorn horn is pretty much the best thing ever.
Perfect Present: DVF Accessories
[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]S[/dropcap]ometimes I forget that luxury brands have gift ideas for those on a budget and DVF is no different. There are plenty of accessories and handbags that come in under the $200 mark and many of the cutest items come in at under $100. I, for one, would be delighted to find the little travel jewelry box with DVF’s signature lip print under the tree.
