The countdown is officially on. Christmas is just days away (and Hanukkah begins tonight!). While it can be hard to shop for others, it can also be hard to narrow down what you want to put on your own wish list. Have you decided what you’re asking Santa for this year? 😉 Well, we asked some of Houston’s most fashionable for what’s on their list, so keep on scrolling for what they’ve been eyeing from The Vintage Contessa & Times Past, and maybe it’ll give you inspiration of your own. Or just simply forward this post onto your significant other or parents as a hint, hint.

1. Chanel Medium Caviar Flap Bag
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized the importance in investment pieces in my closet. You can’t go wrong with the two classics, Hermes and Chanel, plus if taken care of, they’ll last for years to come!

Scarves are a simple and chic way to accessorize any outfit this season. From tying it around your neck, to wearing it draped over your shoulders, or wrapped around your purse handles, it’s the perfect way to pull any outfit together.

I am always traveling during the holidays. Whether it is heading home to see my family, skiing in Vail, or jetting off to a tropical paradise, this LV bag is on my must-have list! It fits all my essentials, and the detachable strap makes it easy to transport. Plus, it goes well with any outfit!
3. Valentino Rock Stud Small Tote
With the holidays come holiday parties, it is probably the busiest social season of the year. Adding some festive cheer to your ensemble is a must, and this Valentino would add the perfect pop of red. The rock studs also make it the perfect juxtaposition of sassy and sweet!

1. Chanel Wallet on Chain in Pink Caviar
2. Hermes Collier de Chien Geranium Palladium Hardware
Blush and red are two of the season’s must have colors. So, a Chanel Wallet on a Chain in pink is a must and something you can use for years to come! And, a red Hermès cuff will give a pop of color to any neutral outfit while being a classic color you’ll grab season after season.

1. Chanel Double Flap Bag in Red
The Chanel Double Flap in red is definitely on my wish list. It’s a true classic and the red color is perfect, especially this time of year.

I love this particular Chanel bag because it’s so unique. The stripes are so chic and fun. You don’t see one like this very often.
Gold Chanel earrings are a classic piece of jewelry and will make a fabulous gift.
A timeless vintage Rolex makes the perfect gift for the guy you love to spoil.

1. Cartier Rose Gold 18k Diamond “Love” Bracelet
It’s a perfect push present or anniversary present. I am a minimalist when it comes to jewelry and this piece is chic, minimal and timeless!

Talk about history! Louis Vuitton started all with trunks back in the day. It would be an amazing piece for the home!
3. Authentic Hermes 32cm Kelly Bag in Gold Epsom with Gold Hardware
I will be on the waiting list for this one! I know the Birkin gets all the attention when it comes to Hermes bags, but the Kelly (named after Grace Kelly!) calls my heart!
Now, tell us. What’s on your wish list?
