Holiday Gift Guide: Our GofG Staff Picks For 2013

Stephanie Maida, Social Media Manager

Personal wish list picks: I'm a total music nerd and this floral record player provides the perfect Penny Lane vibes for playing all my vintage vinyl. AV Room Portable USB Turntable By Crosley, $160 Don't underestimate the need for shades in the winter--have you ever seen how bright the sun could get when it's reflected against snow? I've been on the hunt for a statement pair that stands out from my usual all-black wardrobe and these are perfect. Weird, modern, even a little...steampunky? Oak Sunglasses, $625 Gift for my BFFs: My BFF and I both cite rockstars as our major style icons, and we've been buying each other massive photo books like this one for years. The combo of rock and fashion pretty much defines our friendship, so it's definitely a must-buy for her. John Varvatos: Rock In Fashion Book, $60 The Strand is sorta like me and my best friend's equivalent to Tiffany's--we'd have breakfast there every day if we could. I spotted this on a recent excursion and it's just SO her. Plus, you can't go wrong with a Kate Spade collab piece under $15 (and so I might pick up one for myself, too...) Tote: Kate Spade Red Lipstick, $14.95
