Winter isn’t over quite yet, and I’m determined to make the most out of the final weeks of the season.  Here’s what I love right now:

1. Chloe Marcie Small Leather Hobo
$1,465
This deep red calf leather bag was featured on Luxist’s Handbag of theDay on Wednesday, and it’s safe to say that I’m in love.  Perhaps the perfect Valentine’s Day treat?

2. Eurocave SoWine Bar Wine Preservation System
$395
Vacuum sealing technology preserves a bottle of wine for up to 10 days, and comes with temperature control.  made in France.  Wine not included, but I highly recommend an online membership or magazine subscription to Wine Spectator.

3. Illume Monogram Candle
$26
With scents of Italian bergamot, lemon zest, pink peppercorn and cedar leaf, this pretty white candle leaves your home smelling winter-fresh.

4. Waterford Crystal Ring Holder
from $60
This is one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received.  I love it so much that I even gave one to a friend of mine for her birthday last year!  Waterford is known for making the finest crystal, and my pretty Lismore looks darling on my Shabby Chic nightstand.

5. Bobbi Brown Luxe Brush Collection
$650
Check out Bobbi Brown’s limited-edition Luxe Brush Collection!  My first makeup brushes ever were from Bobbi Brown about 15 year ago, and not only were they my introduction into the art of fine makeup application, but also they lasted me for about ten years solid.  I’m itching for a new set, and while the price is decidedly steep, this is a worthwhile investment for the serious beauty lover.
