This week, the mix of things that caught our eye on eBay ran the gamut from a first-edition Cy Twombly tome to a luxurious (and slightly sinister-looking) serpentine bracelet.

Roll over items for details

LVMH just named Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony the new creative directors of fashion brand Kenzo, inspiring us to revisit this heady amber and violet infused fragrance.

Tom Ford Karina Cat Eye Sunglasses

These pointy, tortoiseshell shades are retro without being over-the-top.

(buy it now price, $229)

Rebecca Taylor Blue Coral Pom Pom Dress

A year-round closet staple. Right now, just add bare strappy sandals. To give this flouncy dress an autumnal feel, pair it with woolly tights and ankle boots.

Prime Saturday night seats at Broadway’s award-winning (9 Tony’s!), perpetually sold out hit comedy.

Kate Spade Oaxaca Reyna Straw Tote

A quintessentially summery carryall, made of beachy straw punctuated by a bright, tropical peacock.

(buy it now price, $149.99)
