Come fly with me

This warm, exquisite scent is at the top of my wishlist at the moment. Featuring head notes of berries, a floral heart, and a woody base, the parfum version is what I have my sights set on.

Butterfly from Hanae Mori

You light up my life

This project is ingenious! How do you turn a boring Target lamp into a chic room accessory? With spray paint, duct tape, and empty Coke bottles! Top it off with a brand new shade and it's a whole different lamp!

Glampsformation from Matsutake

Say my name

The colour gold has figured prominently in my mind for a few months now and these shoes are calling to me like sirens to sailors. Soft gold colour? Check. Demure feminine shape? Check. Sparkle? Check. Aileen? Right here! (See?)

Microstud platform bow pump from Valentino

Heart of the ocean

How lovely are these earrings? The goldfill wire perfectly suits the London blue topazes (using vermeil would have been gauche) and the delicate handwork is astounding. If only I had some fancy event to wear these to...

Blue flames from Two Tightly Wound

Brainwear for smart people

Why would anyone wear a boring bicycle helmet when they can wear something stylish that does the same job? This award-winning design has two components: a protective helmet base and an interchangeable cover. There are a variety of tops to choose from and this is the one I like best:

Tokyo New Jazz from Yakkay

Eight arms to hold you

The first piece from the Animal Chair collection, this design is both fantastical and disturbing, like something out of a gothic version of Pirates of the Caribbean. And I can't help imagining how mindblowing it would be to use this as a piano bench for a baby grand!

Octopus chair from Maximo Riera

Handsome hobo

Big carry-alls have been my go-to bags this summer, which might be why this handsome (and tote-like) hobo caught my eye. The colours are cheerful, the material is water resistant, the straps are sturdy, and there is even a magnetic closure to keep all the contents secure! What's not to like?

Greenage chevron hobo bag from Made By Nanna

Showing off some curves

A girl can never have enough little black dresses and this is my pick for fall. The shape is a basic sheath, but the wavy ribbed details make it special. Wouldn't this look great at a little soirée?

Off shoulder dress from Dynamite

All about the neck

I rarely bother with costume jewellery anymore, but this pretty piece has my heart aflutter. Made with faux pearls, this necklace is supposed to be for a bride, but I say why not pair it with an off-the-shoulder or scoopneck cashmere sweater?

Pearl scallop bib necklace from Kate Spade
