My Vanity Is Always Stocked With

Yves Saint Laurent lipstick—the longest-lasting option I've found—in reds, pinks, oranges. Also Moroccanoil so I can wear my hair curly or straight.

A black leather motorcycle jacket. I have my eye on one from Burberry. Or fabulous shimmery d'Orsay pumps. Can I have both?
