You might not wanna admit it, but every girl clique has one; the Taylor Swift of the hot celebrity/supermodel Taylor Swift squad, the Beyoncé of Destiny’s Child, the Kim of the Kardashian clan, and the Blair Waldorf of Manhattan’s elite. She’s brilliant, gorgeous, successful, talented, confident, and with fine taste and a glorious wardrobe that matches it. The only downside you kinda gleefully admit though? Yeah alright, she might be a little *whispers* basic, what with her unbridled love for pumpkin spice lattes and overuse of the dog face filter on Snapchat — but who cares! Love or hate her, refuse to like her Instagram posts but still stalk her #OOTDs anyway, she’s the undeniable It-Girl, who really already has everything you see, so what can, oh humble gift-giver, bestow upon her? Well, these.
1. Saint Laurent New Wave 197 LouLou heart-shaped silver-tone mirrored sunglasses, $465.36, available at net-a-porter.com
With these chic matte black and silver metal frames, you’ll have your queen bee seeing hearts. Saint Laurent’s unique cut-out detail gives the otherwise feminine cat-eye shape a bit of an edge, making it a badass statement piece that flatters most faces, and more importantly, create the illusion of hypersharp cheekbones.
2. FORNASETTI Decorative Plate, US$186, available at Yoox.com
Here’s a 100% porcelain plate made exclusively for Yoox by Italian brand, Fornasetti. This particular design was created in the 50s and has never been reissued — until now, and features one of the most famous artworks by the artist. It’ll make the perfect gift for that friend who has it all. We bet she doesn’t have this plate.
3. Chanel Cruise Golden Metal Headband, POA, available at Chanel boutiques
Any chic friend of yours owns a Chanel, but instead of a bag or earrings, how about springing for a headband that’ll make her feel like a Greek goddess? Blair Waldorf, who? This Cruise collection must-have is the perfect crown that deserves to sit atop her head.
4. Nathalie Trad Supernova Ellery Clutch, US$980, available at nathalietrad.com
You’d wanna shell out for this — a meticulously handcrafted clutch made with distinctive shells, now adorned with a stunning canvas of stars as part of Nathalie Trad’s Christmas capsule collection. The fine details and astronomical theme already feel quite magical, so imagine walking into a festive party having this in your hands.
5. “Pumpkin Spice Everything” Engraved Stamped Bracelet, $35, available via etsy.com
All the Basic Bs out there will probably lay claim to this one, but a “pumpkin spice” bracelet should belong to one type of person, and one type of person only – and that’s the Queen B. After all, is there a drink more fitting of the leader of the pack, the alpha female? We think not, and this made-to-order bracelet shows it.
6. Ink Box Revenant Tattoo, US$19, available at InkBox.com
For those who’ve always wanted a tattoo but never mustered up the courage to get one. What other tattoo to get than the infinity sign because it’s deep and meaningful and all that?
7. Kimoji LIT Earrings, US$25, available online at kimoji.com
Nothing says you’re at a party like some lit earrings. No, really. And you can bet these ones are Kardashian-approved.
8. “I Can’t Human Today” Pillowcase, $38.43, available at HardToFind.com.au
The perfect pillowcase for those days when you just “cant human today”. It just gets how everyone feels in the morning, even for perfect human beings by the way, and will look great against a minimalist white bedspread.
9. Olivia Burton 3D Bee and Marble Florals Watches, $309 and $179 respectively, available at selected retailers and cocomi.sg
Come on, you can’t make a Queen B list without humorously including an actual bee in a watch right — and oh my, this one’s exquisite. The vintage-inspired 3D watch face belongs to this British timepiece brand and every design, from marble florals to rose gold touches just exude femininity and class. Can’t do better than these ones.
10. Beats by Dre Matte Gold Headphones, $398, available at apple.com
There are many Queen Bs out there, and indeed many colonies. But there’s only one gadget that’s worthy of satisfying their audio needs, and it’s none other than Beats by Dre headphones in a lustrous matte gold finish. With 40 hours of battery life, these cans offer the ultimate musical freedom, which is the bare minimum she requires.
11. Night Forest Cold Cup 16 oz, $21.90, available at all Starbucks outlets
Show everyone that even your coffee has game too! This gorgeous Starbucks cup from this year’s Night Forest Christmas range will make you absolutely magical when you’re rushing out all about town. Honestly, the only downside to this cup is that it can only store cold drinks – but with this heat, a frappucino is our go-to drink!
12. Snowman Winter Down Coats, USD178 to USD597, available at snowmannewwyork.com
These jackets are filled with 90/10 premium down at 700 fill power, and are perfect for looking stylish at subzero temperatures. With many different designs (featuring the 818, Mission, and Teddy here), and all with flattering silhouettes, there’s something for everyone to stay warm while staying fashionable.
