TIS Most Wanted: Our eBay Picks of the Week

1. Winter Fake Fur Faux Suede Aviator Cap: No explanation needed here. It’s winter. It’s cold. Wear a (very) warm hat. (eBay search keywords: fur cap)

2. Sori Yanagi Butterfly Stool: This 1956 Butterfly Stool is the most well-known piece by Japanese designer Sori Yanagi, who died on Christmas in Tokyo at the age of 96. You can buy it on eBay or see an original at MoMA through next month in “Plywood: Material, Process, Form.” (eBay search keywords: butterfly stool)

3. Leather Brogue Men’s Shoes: Menswear designers are finally taking a cue from the ladies. Classic shoe styles, like wingtips, bucks, loafers, and brogues, have gotten serious makeovers, with chunky soles and in-your-face colors. We dare you. (eBay search keywords: brogues)

4. Jonathan Adler Daily Day Planner: Get a daily dose of our favorite colorful home accessories designer with a cheery desk calendar. In those colors, it won’t get lost in the jumble. (eBay search keywords: daily planner)

5. Jason Wu Silver Foil Asymmetric One Shoulder Dress: Mark your calendar and set your alarm. On February 5^th, Target launches its newest collaboration with designer Jason Wu. In the meantime, you can wish really hard you could afford one of the originals, like this graphic print mini dress. (eBay search keywords: Jason Wu)

6. Cartier 18K Yellow Gold Love Diamond Bangle: Valentine’s Day is still a month away, but for a seriously pricey gift like this one, you’d best start asking early. The good news is it’ll never go out of style. (eBay search keywords: Cartier Love bangle)

7 .Helen Frankenthaler 'Beginnings' 2002 Poster: American abstract expressionist painter Helen Frankenthaler, who passed away the last week of December, was one of the most well known figures in the modern art world. Unlike her male counterparts' bold works, her pieces are soft and feminine, though make just as much impact. (eBay search keywords: Helen Frankenthaler)

8. L.L. Bean Boat Bag Tote: The new book “Guaranteed to Last: L.L. Bean’s Century of Outfitting America” catalogs the most important looks of this, well, catalog, including duck boots and the ubiquitous canvas tote. (eBay search keywords: L.L. Bean)

9. Late 1930s Goldsmith Leather Football: It’s Super Bowl season, in case you hadn’t noticed. While polyester jerseys and Doritos leave something to be desired, vintage sports memorabilia, like this leather football, is actually quite handsome. (eBay search keywords: leather football)

10. Stella McCartney Studded Ankle Boot: A wood platform, clog-like bootie by Stella is the perfect winter pick-me-up. The designer just opened her new SoHo store after defecting from the Meatpacking District, but really, we prefer to buy on eBay. (eBay search keywords: ankle boot)

11. Set of Three Vintage Cast Iron Pillar Candle Holders: Candlelight is essential in wintertime, when daylight is short. The playful silhouettes of these candlesticks, which reflect a modern Japanese and Danish influence, can hold their own as a centerpiece in snowy months. (eBay search keywords: candlesticks)

12. Missoni for Target 6 File Folders: Nothing gets us in the mood to file (tax season is fast approaching!) better than the zigzag patterns and offbeat color combinations of Missoni. (eBay search keywords: Missoni)
