A staple of mine\u2014and I think I&#8217;ve found the perfect one by Topshop.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE NUDE LIPSTICK<\/strong>.\u00a0Named and created for Penelope Cruz, &#8216;Penelope Pink&#8217;\u00a0<em>must<\/em> be the perfect nude. I&#8217;ve decided that I want to be the girl with four (Charlotte Tilbury) lipsticks: a nude, a\u00a0fuchsia, a red, and deep burgundy. (I&#8217;m currently looking at my collection of random lipsticks I never use in utter disdain right now.)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE PERFECT CARRY-ON<\/strong>. I recently bought a cream <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsonite.com\/home\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Samonsite<\/a>\u00a0(see it in action <em><a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/working-girl-chevy-chase\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/em>), and while I adore it, what I\u00a0<em>really<\/em> have my eyes\u2014and heart\u2014set on is a set of the iconic Globe-Trotter Safari collection. Impractically luxe and probably requires its own plastic bag to make it through TSA to keep it in all its pristine glory, the Globe-Trotter suitcase is easily the\u00a0<em>cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me\u00a0<\/em>of jet-setting essentials.\u00a0<em>Who am I kidding?<\/em> It&#8217;s totally gratuitous, but a beautiful reminder to travel more whenever I can.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/trend-report-the-flare-leg\/\" target=\"_blank\">THE HIGH-WAIST, FLARE-LEG JEAN<\/a><\/strong>. A perennial favorite for years, the high-waist, flare-leg jean is a staple in my wardrobe. I&#8217;ve yet to try ones by <a href=\"http:\/\/frame-denim.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Frame<\/a>, but I fully intend to: everything from cut to color that Frame does is pretty perfect.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE.<\/strong>\u00a0Scent is everything, if not pivotal to being. I&#8217;ve been searching for years looking for <em>the<\/em> Fragrance (yes, with a capital &#8220;F&#8221;) to no avail, settling for the (very) generic Viktor &amp; Rolf &#8216;Flowerbomb&#8217; mixed with Serge Lutens unisex scents. (To be fair: I actually quite like &#8216;Flowerbomb&#8217; after a couple of\u00a0hours when the artificial top notes have faded and the scent has mixed with my natural oils\/scent.)\u00a0I was recently drooling in Saks&#8217; fragrance department\u2014namely Kilian\u2014when my co-worker suggested\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bykilian.com\/us\/home.php#!\/perfumes\/in-the-garden-of-good-and-evil\/cat_51\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;Good Girl Gone Bad<\/a>.&#8217; It&#8217;s divine. Robust. Womanly. Musky. And the packaging! Kilian just kills the game in luxe kitsch.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE GROWN-UP DETERGENT<\/strong>. Speaking of scent. Few things are more comforting than fresh sheets and laundry. There&#8217;s something incredibly grown-up about not only having detergent that\u00a0<em>doesn&#8217;t<\/em> smell like Downy or Tide, but also lingers throughout the day. It&#8217;s quite\u00a0the romantic notion to have a signature siliage. The ideal: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelaundress.com\/le-labo-santal-33-signature-detergent\" target=\"_blank\">The Laundress x Le Labo&#8217;s &#8216;Santal 22&#8217; signature detergent<\/a>, to pair with its perfume counterpart or mix with the Kilian.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE DAY-TO-NIGHT BAG<\/strong>. If you can&#8217;t tell by the theme of this board, I&#8217;m loving neutrals lately: stark whites, warm creams, and beige-y taupes are my go-to&#8217;s for a fresh, feminine monochromatic look lately (likely because I&#8217;m trying to milk this fast-fading summer tan for as long as possible). This Valentino is pretty much my perfect bag: size-wise, it&#8217;s ideal (I&#8217;m a small bag kind of girl); it&#8217;s classic, but just the right amount of edgy; the hardware is beautiful; the leather is gorgeous. If there&#8217;s a bag to splurge on&#8230;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE STRAPPY POINTY-TOE PUMP<\/strong>. How many strappy, point-toe pumps can a girl own?
