If you have a style-obsessed friend who is as hard to buy for as many of mine are, run immediately to Smythson to pick up a Fashion Diary. The store just received a small shipment of the calendars designed by Zac Posen, Missoni, Giambattista Valli, and my personal favorite, Alexander McQueen. Only 150 of each were produced for worldwide distribution, so the New York store’s stock is bound to go fast. This is the one holiday gift that you can guarantee your I-must-have-what-nobody-else-has friend that (almost) no one else will own.
$405 at Smythson, 4 W. 57th St., at Fifth Ave.; 212-265-4573.
