TIS Most Wanted: Our eBay Picks of the Week

1. Altuzarra Black Wool Dress: Joseph Altuzarra, this year's winner of the CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund Award to help support up-and-coming designers, first caught the fashion world's attention with this sexy jagged lace-up dress from one of his very early collections. (eBay search keywords: Altuzarra)

2. 1950’s French Sunglasses: A chic pair of sunglasses is a very simple way to give a lift to any outfit. Similar to past seasons' runway styles from Prada and Givenchy, these vintage jeweled cat-eye frames are totally of the moment. (eBay search keywords: vintage cat-eye sunglasses)

3. Versace Pillow: A collaboration with the fast-fashion outlet H&M has the desire for Versace items at an all time high. Nothing says “Versace” more than the company's colorful prints based on classical ancient Greek and Roman design, and this pillow from the original Versace home collection couldn’t be more iconic. (eBay search keywords: Versace pillow)

4. Wolford Lace Tights: Nothing can change your look as completely and as easily as a pair of incredible tights. Black lace legs give any little black dress a boost, and these top-of-the-line seamed ‘Lace Art’ Wolford tights will have all eyes on you, guaranteed. (eBay search kewyords: Wolford tights)

5. Jimmy Choo Croc Clutch: What will newly departed Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon do next? Rumor has it that she is planning on becoming the fashion world's next Tory Burch, complete with a lifestyle brand all her own. The possibilities seem very likely after she took a humble English cobbler and made him into a worldwide mega-brand. (eBay search keywords: Jimmy Choo)

6. Andy Warhol Diamond Dust Shadow Paintings: “Andy Warhol: Shadows,” a buzzy exhibition currently on view at Washington’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, dramatically showcases 102 rare abstract silkscreened and hand-painted canvases by the celebrated artist. This hard-to-find 2000 catalog from the Gagosian Gallery in New York highlights a different group of shadow paintings created right after the series currently on display. (eBay search keywords: Andy Warhol)

7. Seaman Schepps 18K & Pearl Earrings: Perhaps "dreaming of a white Christmas" references these dazzling pearl earrings instead of snow? These 18K and pearl cluster earrings from esteemed New York jeweler Seaman Schepps make a gorgeous gift, and they even come in their original box. (eBay search keywords: Seaman Schepps eearl earrings)

8. Claude Montana Suit: With sleeping fashion houses being brought back to life by new designers and young entrepreneurs, we wonder why no one has taken advantage of the glamorous history of this iconic brand. Classic pieces available here on eBay look as sharp and modern as the day they were designed. (eBay search keywords: Claude Montana)

9. Estee Lauder Youth Dew: The passing of Evelyn Lauder a few weeks ago had the worlds of business, fashion, and beauty in mourning for this amazing philanthropist, activist, and co-founder of the Pink Ribbon Breast Health Initiative. Evelyn had joined the Estee Lauder business that was originally founded in 1935, after her marriage to Leonard Lauder. First introduced by the Estee Lauder company in 1953, "Youth Dew" was originally created as a bath oil that could be worn as a perfume. (eBay search keywords: Estee Lauder Youth Dew)

10. Vintage Swaine Adeney Brigg Umbrella: This celebrated British maker of equestrian and leather goods since 1750 (!) just might be best known for a line of ultra fine umbrellas that the company began making in 1836. The Swaine Adeney Brigg handcrafted umbrella can last a lifetime, and then some, as it can be restored over and over again. (eBay search keywords: Swaine Adeney Brigg umbrella)

11. Manolo Blahnik Heels: Now that the New York Times has declared the extreme high heel platform shoe dead (and red soles too ostentatious and over the top), the once all-mighty Manolo Blahnik is back to collect the “King of Heels” crown. (eBay search keywords: Manolo Blahnik)

12. 2010 Ferrari California Nero: Missed out on the 2012 Ferrari FF Edition from this years legendary Neiman Marcus Christmas Book? Only 10 cars were available for sale at (are you sitting down?) $395,000, and they completely sold out in only 50 minutes! Here on eBay, not only is this 2010 California model substantially cheaper at only $199,000, but the convertible model might also be, dare we say, slightly sexier. (eBay search keyword: Ferrari)
