The Piece: Coach Classics Shoulder Bag

The Investment: $300

Why We Covet: Coach has gotten back to their roots, and we like the result. Their Coach Classics collection consists of iconic Coach styles from the '70s, all reworked to feel just modern enough. This '70s-era style has been downsized a bit, making it perfect to throw on for a busy day around town. The classic look means this is a bag you won't be tossing to the back of your closet anytime soon, and the price is totally reasonable for a lifetime investment.

The Piece: Jason Wu Strapless Ruffle-Front Dress

The Investment: $2,550

Why We Covet: Hello, beautiful. We love, really, really love, Jason Wu's feminine and delicate take on womenswear. The dress is gorgeous and sexy from afar, but get up close and that's where you see how special it is. The silk organza dress has a black tulle-covered bodice, and the layered skirt at the waist falls into a gorgeous lace and organza ruffle down the front. The combination of feminine details — lace, boning, ruffles — with the nude, blush, and black colors make this one dreamy and completely sophisticated dress.

The Piece: Charlotte Olympia Miranda Wedges

The Investment: $902

Why We Covet: You know that if you wear these, at least ten women, and probably a few men, are going to stop you on the street and ask you where you got these fabulous shoes. They're meant to be checked out. They're meant to get attention. They're meant to make you six feet tall because they have whopping 6-inch wedge heels, but you won't die of discomfort because of the 2.5-inch platform. Beyond that, we love that the leopard is trimmed in bright, sunny yellow and the little knot across the toes.

The Piece: Alexander McQueen Clutch

The Investment: $1,495

Why We Covet: It's badass. I mean, really badass. The green leather clutch, perfect for black-tie and red-carpet events, has that surprise kick of being covered in gold studs and a gold skull that's been encrusted with Swarovski crystals. It's unusual, attention-getting, cool, but beautiful. And in 20 years your kid will be rifling through your closet and say, "Hey, Mom, that clutch is way too cool for you. Can I have it?" To which you, obviously, say no.

The Piece: Gucci Double-Knot Dress

The Investment: $2,300

Why We Covet: When Chanel Iman wore this dress down the runway, we had two words: "yes, please." It's sexy, it's bold, the nude and orange color combo are fresh, and it's one of the highlight dresses from a really strong collection. The double silk satin fabric and bamboo tassel detail are ultra luxurious, but the dress isn't fussy. You can wear this to weddings, cocktail parties, and black-tie events, or you can throw a blazer over it to tone down the sexiness. This is a modern dress you'll wear for years.

The Piece: Irene Neuwirth Chrysoprase and Diamond Earrings

The Investment: $2,880

Why We Covet: Irene Neuwirth's unique designs always seem to include exotic gems in colors so beautiful you can't stop staring at them. Case in point: countless celebs like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Reese Witherspoon, Rashida Jones, and Halle Berry have all dazzled while wearing her jewelry. Irene cites the ocean as a major influence in her work, and we can imagine these earrings and a flowy dress taking a walk down the beach at sunset. Fun fact: chrysoprase (sometimes called Australian jade) is a rare form of quartz, and small amounts of nickel give it that vivid green color.

The Piece: Lanvin Peep-Toe Wedge

The Investment: $1,120

Why We Covet: Alber Elbaz is one of fashion's most beloved designers, partly because he seems sincerely to care about making women look and feel beautiful. These wedges are no exception: the sky-high platform ensures we will look supermodel tall, and the sexy python print is countered with a feminine nude grosgrain ribbon. Finally, the peep-toe ensures we can show off our pedicure — we think gray would look amazing.
