In which Emily combs her go-to e-commerce destinations and selects five things she must. have. right. now. (And that you might be interested in, too.)

  1. T By Alexander Wang's Crew Neck Sweatshirt: A sweatshirt is the new t-shirt, people. And if you're not going vintage, this is the one to get: just the right amount of slouch (you don't want to get into Sports Authority/Champion territory), by the man who knows how to whip up not-so-basic basics.

  2. Isabel Marant's Godart Embroidered Cropped Skinny Jeans: In the colder months, I live in black Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans (I'm up to 4 pairs—no joke), but as soon as the sun comes out, it's all about Ksubi cutoffs. That being said, there aren't a helluva lot of ways you can “dress up' frayed denim shorts. Sometimes you want to slip into some Fancy Pants, and these are those. Yes, they're an investment, but they're also an outfit.

  3. Ancient Greek Sandals' Chrysso Black Thong Sandals: You might remember these babies from my Vacation Essentials post. They've got all the pizazz of Giuseppe Zanotti at a fraction of the price.

  4. Rodin's Olio Lusso Luxury Face Oil: I've shot three Top Shelves this week and Olio Lusso was in two of them. If there were a Beauty Hall of Fame, this would be inducted in 2013. It's the facial oil that launched a thousand facial oils, created by the incredibly chic stylist Linda Rodin. A warm-weather medicine cabinet staple.

  5. Ray-Ban's Polarized Aviator Sunglasses: Aviators = instant cool factor. The Célines and Givenchys are fabulous, but these are classic. And cheaper.
