THE E LIST "The New 30" Birthday Edition

I survived my big birthday weekend…in fact, it was fabulous! Now it’s time to do a little shopping for myself to bring in the fall season. Try as I might, after all this time I still can’t seem to shake it: black & white is here to stay…

 Ex-Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld is a genius, so I’ve been dying to get my hands on her new endeavor.
CR Fashion Book, 1-year subscription, $30

 Who wouldn’t want to never go out of style?
Salvatore Ferragamo necklace, $260 (in select stores)

 I posted iPhone cases last week, but this one might just be the winner.
Black marbled iPhone case, $35 

 Because you can never have too many Baies candles, and this one is just too sexy to pass up.
Colored Diptyque Baies candle, $90

 The cutest tee I’ve seen in a while. Mwah!
J.Crew kiss kiss tee, $35

  Yep, still want it. But in white, it would be such a standout for any season. (If you’re a stickler for the “white rule” try the black.)
Alexander Wang Rocco duffel, $895 

 Lucky for me, I already got this one from my girlfriends: a perfume that smells just like Hawaii.
Bond No. 9 New York “Saks Fifth Avenue” $180 

 I’m all about the paneled leather-like look, and in all black, it’ll be super versatile.
Blank Denim paneled skinny jeans, $88

 My jaw dropped when I saw this portfolio — perfection!
Coach KRINK Bleeker portfolio, $295 

 The ankle-strap pump is a must-have for Fall, and this black on black croc version is going to be my go-to, I just know it!
 Rachel Roy Ardythe D’Orsay Pump, $295

Decisions, decisions…
