TIS Most Wanted: Our eBay Picks of the Week

1. Missoni Havaianas: Missoni's buzzy collection for Target hits stores today. You could stand in line for hours, wait until the stuff shows up on eBay or check out another partnership between the storied Italian fashion house and a mass market brand: Missoni for Havaianas' groovy flip flips. (eBay search keywords: Missoni Havaianas)

2. Versace by Rosenthal Primavera Soup Tureen: Speaking of fashion designer collaborations, by now you know that the latest boldface name to team up with fast fashion genius H&M is none other than Donatella Versace, with a collection launching this November. If you're dying to get your hands on some Versace and you can't wait 'til then, you could of course scoop up the real thing on eBay or any number of retailers... Or, you could consider something unexpected: a piece of the fashion brand's surprisingly refined china. (eBay search keywords: Versace Rosenthal)

3. Aritzia Sweater: Beloved contemporary Canadian retailer Aritzia just opened its first New York store in Soho this summer. This comfy, easy-to-layer, hybrid sweatshirt/sweater exemplifies the brand's casual cool aesthetic. (eBay search keyword: Aritzia)

4. Alexander McQueen Leggings: We've seen timeless, crisp houndstooth prints at a number of designers for fall, including Yves Saint Laurent, Ferragamo and Theory. Here is houndstooth a bit subverted, in a pair of punky leggings by Alexander McQueen. Gwen Stefani has a pair. Shouldn't you? (eBay search keywords: houndstooth leggings)

5. Sirene by Vicky Tiel: Veteran fashion designer Vicky Tiel has a long history with Hollywood: She lived with Elizabeth Taylor for 20 years as part of her entourage, designed a dress for the "Pretty Woman" film and more recently, has created sultry gowns for the likes of Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian. If you can't shell out for one of her $5,000-$10,000 frocks, pick up her just-released tell-all book. Or try her fragrance, a sharp, floral scent with notes of orange and geranium she's been selling since 1994. (eBay search keyword: Vicky Tiel)

6. Allure by Diana Vreeland Book: Diana Vreeland, legendary editor (Harper's Bazaar, Vogue) and consultant to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is being remembered with a just-released documentary, a coffee table book (out October 1) and a traveling exhibition kicking off at the Fortuny Museum in Venice this March. If you want to brush up on her awe-inspiring life, start with her autobiography. (eBay search keywords: Diana Vreeland)

7. Georgia O'Keefe Poppy Print: Red, or more specifically, poppy, is one of the season's most important (and unforgettable shades). Try wearing it head-to-toe like the fashion set, or else lend a shot of it to your walls, with a print of one of Georgia O'Keefe's masterpieces. (eBay search keyword: poppy)

8. Kartell Flying Ceiling Light: Italian furniture maker Kartell's compelling minimalist design would be perfect for a kitchen or bathroom. (eBay search keyword: Kartell)

9. Stella McCartney Tuxedo Jacket: Dolce & Gabbana, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang and Stella McCartney are just a few among many designers to incorporate menswear's most dapper staple in to their fall collections. (eBay search keywords: Stella McCartney)

10. Z Spoke Zac Posen Black Snakeskin Trimmed Satchel: Designer Zac Posen just opened the first brick-and-mortar shop (in New York's hipper-than-though Meatpacking District) for his less expensive line, Z Spoke. This top-handle satchel, snakeskin-trimmed is everything we love about the collection: ladylike, polished, with just a bit of an edge. (eBay search keywords: Z Spoke)

11. Hooded Down Jacket: Outerwear—particularly parkas —is a major focus for fashion this fall. So are brights. Why not combine the two in one smart piece with this cheer-inducing jacket? The sunny color is guaranteed to help get you through the winter with a smile. (eBay search keywords: down parka)

12. Hans Wegner Wishbone Chair: We seriously covet one of these classic mid-century chairs, but the price for an authentic one (about $800) is super steep. Here's one for sale via the Design Within Reach outlet. They say it has a few tiny nicks, but we can barely see them. (eBay search keywords: Hans Wegner Wishbone)
