  We are in love with Jessica Nell Graves of the famed blog, The Love List. Her honest writing and impeccable trend-style guides have us hooked! Jessica writes anything from art and living to fashion and dating. She has been featured in The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Matchbook Magazine, and in West Elm stores.

We had the opportunity to chat with Jessica and see what her five must-have items are and why!

1. The EXOvault EXO Bradd Pau Ferro iPhone 5 case, $225: A testament to beautiful, functional, hand-crafted design, made right here in America. Useful and beautiful - what better combination exists? BUY HERE

2. Black skinny pants: I have tried every pair known to mankind, and there are two I keep returning to - Vince's Ponte Knit pants - BUY HERE ($230), and at a lower price point, GAP makes a wonderful pair - BUY HERE ($54.95) that tapers in just enough and hits right below the ankle, which looks killer with a heel. Hello, long legs!

3. Warby Parker glasses, $95: Squinting at a laptop screen can take a toll on your vision, so I look to Warby Parker to keep my eyes clear. Their on-point selection of frames and 95.00 price point keep me coming back. BUY HERE

4. Spotify : I'm a music junkie, and Spotify's unlimited streaming at only $9.99/month keeps my trigger-happy song surfing compulsion in check. Even better is the ability to share my playlists and stream them on my iPhone. BUY HERE
5. Cardinal Gin : A friend in North Carolina introduced me to this small-batch spirit, and as a self-proclaimed "gin-thusiast" I'm really on a kick of mixing this one with a little Jack Rudy Toni HERE/HERE
