If you were doing some shopping this week, you may have stumbled upon little ol’ me on the Barneys New York website {eek!}. For the second year in a row now, I’ve been honored to be a part of Barneys’ holiday line-up, this time along side fabulous maker Eye Swoon and party shaker Mrs. Lilien, sharing our most swoon worthy gifts!

This list came in the nick of time. Last week I was freaking out about finding a gown to wear to the black tie company holiday party I attended over the weekend, but I was doubly freaking out about presenting the hostess with the ultimate gift! I realized how stressful it could be to shop for a haute hostess of a party of this caliber. I mean, an affair this grand is already intimidating enough and much like any holiday party, chocolates and liquors are quickly lost in the shuffle. Thankfully any of the picks on this list would do!

get your gifting on: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

If you bring any of these stand-out gifts, your potential for a bonus won’t go overlooked. A brass bottle opener or pair of smokey and seductive wine glasses will leave a lasting impression on the host than any bottle of wine could ever leave {even if it’s a good vintage!}.

And while I would graciously invite anyone inside who showed up at the doorstep with said gifts in hand, I’d also be smitten over this tray that Athena picked out and giddy if Mrs. Lilien herself brought me this lipstick for a must-do touch up in between cocktails!

Now the question is, what will you be bringing to the party for your hostess with the mostess? And perhaps, more importantly, what will you be wearing?! You can check out the gown that I wore on Instagram here!
