What xoJane Editors Want for Christmas: Assistant Olivia's Accessories To Go With The All-Black-Everything Wardrobe
-
This camera is in everybody's holiday gift guide because it's a super chic and easy to use. From a photographer's standpoint, it's more of an accessory than a real piece of equipment, but it's worth buying if you already have a solid digital camera.

I love these glasses. I always have and I think they are totally fabulous. They're somewhere in the Cat Eye family, if not a direct descendant of it. Anyway, I am really sick of people finally figuring out that these are cool to wear. I was wearing those round guys like two years ago and have bought maybe 30 pairs of them, and the only reason I haven’t made the switch to sweet Norma’s future-babe Square Cat-Eye glasses is because I don’t have the bills yet.

First, let us acknowledge the fact that it is a guy in a suit shirt holding this mirror, which makes me imagine that cartoon Dilbert putting on lipstick. That said, I love this little thingy. It's cute, funny and practical. Everything I look for in a man, but in a mirror!

The 20 Foot Animatronic Triceratops, $350,000
Alright, not really an accessory, but, damn I have wanted this forEVER. What would I do with this? I would turn it on when I had friends over or when I was a little lonely (so, always) and listen to her make funny roaring noises while hanging around my GIANT apartment (because I assume that when I DO purchase the Hammacher Schlemmer dinosaur for $350,000 I will already have purchased a grossly large apartment somewhere in New York City to put her and all my other robots).

I don’t even want to know how much this hat is. It's Balenciaga so it probably costs as much as the dinosaur. Who doesn’t want to look like Darth Vader walking through a snow covered sidewalk? You can't turn your head or see in it and that’s why I love it (I also like it because I can't afford it, but thats a whole other pathology). Sometimes you have to throw practicality to the sharks and dress up like a beetle. And THAT’S fashion.

The Story of O, Pauline Réage, $9.95
OK, I already have this book and I am reading it now, but I definitely want to buy it for someone this holiday season. If you have read it you KNOW what I am talking about. If you haven’t read it and you are into violent, sadomasochistic, sex-slave love stories then buy this now, take it home and read it alone, because you won't be able to help yourself.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Tarred, $13
I have been told by a certain xoMad that I've got DSLs and I think black lips would be make them look extra sexy in a new (scary) way! Oh, did I mention that OCC makeup is vegan and cruelty free?! I'd be more than happy to tag a D with this Tar.

Factron Quattro for iPhone 4, $257
This thing is pretty nerdy if you ask me. HOWEVER, it's really swanky in an annoying bachelor pad kinda way. I have always wanted to have an iPhone case that has interchangeable lenses. Let's take the impulsivity out of iPhone photos and crank up the quality, shall we?
