Holiday Gift Guide: What Carrie's Coveting

Posted by Carrie Goldberg

Whether it's the season for giving or the summer months, I am hard-pressed to find a time of year when I am not swooning over a slew of fantastic pieces for my closet or home. Luckily, when the temperature drops, I am able to flat out ask for all the things I've been eyeing and gift all the pieces I've treated myself to and now can't live without. Whether its something sensible or a castle in the air, here are the pieces I hope to wrap and unwrap this holiday season.

I am incredibly picky when it comes to scents and this candle from Manolo Blahnik is one of my absolute favorites. The scent is delicate and nowhere near overwhelming—I keep it lit on my desk for a constant calm ambiance.
