This article is part of a series highlighting the personal eBay wish lists of regular contributors to eBay's The Inside Source. Click here to see more.

As the sole graphic designer for The Inside Source since its launch in the fall of 2009, I've come in contact with every single image of every single eBay item we've ever featured on the site. I'd estimate that's just about 18,000 items and counting. So it goes without saying that I'm pretty familiar with eBay's inventory. And I've helped myself to it more than once. From "Beauty and the Beast" collectibles to a super spiffy computer chair, I have plenty to show for the hours I've logged on the eBay marketplace. But of course there's more I'm coveting. Here are the 12 items at the top of my list.

1. Blue Chevron Infinity Scarf: I've never quite mastered the art of tying scarves, but I love to wear them. The infinity shape makes scarf-styling easy, and this chevron pattern is an easy way to inject print into my wardrobe.

2. All Saints Gold Embellished Paloma Dress: Spring is right around the corner (even though it doesn't feel like it today). I have several weddings coming up, and I could wear this sparkly dress to each of them.

3. Weathered Oak French Scripted Linen Dining Chairs: I've always wanted a French scripted linen chair. It's graphic and romantic at the same time.

4. Mario Badescu Hand Cream Vitamin E: Beauty brand Mario Badescu is renowned for its super-effective skincare products. My favorite is the ultra-moisturizing hand cream.

5. Essie Nail Polish Jazz: I constantly change nail colors—and I have the nail polish collection to prove it. Essie Jazz is a great year-round nude that isn't too prissy pink.

6. Blue Wool Felt Hat: I recently feel in love with fedora and cloche hats. Both shapes seem to flatter my face, and this dark turquoise would bring out the blue in my eyes.

7. Octagon Peacock Tray: The elegant peacocks motif lends a splash of color to this delicate tray.

8. Kenneth Jay Lane Cluster Crystal Necklace: Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but when you can't afford them, you'll take anything else that sparkles—like this crystal necklace.

9. Degas Reproduction Dancer At Rest Sculpture: In addition to my work as a graphic designer, I also teach contemporary dance at a competitive dance studio. I am always searching on eBay for items pertaining to dance.

10. Brentwood Mongolian Faux Fur Pillow: A squishy pillow. A crazy soft texture. What could be cozier?

11. Marc Jacobs White Leather Purse: If I had to choose between bags or shoes, bags would win (though I hope to never have to make the choice). This roomy style would seamlessly take me from work to running errands to dance.

12. Paper Star Light Hanging Lantern: Last year I bought a paper lantern for my bedroom. It adds a graphic touch and gives a nice ambience to the room. This Moroccan-inspired style would compliment it nicely.
