Just like last year[1] , we've tapped a handful of reputable fashion friends to weigh in on 2013's greatest hits (and misses). Last week, we named LA's best shops[2] , brands[3] and dream stores[4] , and worst cases of buyer's remorse[5] . Now, insiders are revealing their favorite personal purchases of 2013.


Monica Rose, stylist and designer[6] : "My Givenchy Obsedia bag, my Chanel Boy bag and my Chloe Susanna leather studded boots."


Melissa Akkaway, designer and Beckley Boutique[7] owner: "I bought a navy fur jacket from Reformation. It was only $350!"



Kaya B. Mlle Mademoiselle[8] designer: "My Hermès riding boots. A timeless classic!"


Simone Harouche, stylist and Simone Camille[9] designer: "A gold Anita Ko rose gold name plate necklace that has my son's name on it."


Christos Garkinos, Decades[10] co-owner: "My ATM[11] shirts."


Tommy Lei , My Belonging[12] blogger: "The notorious Balenciaga cutout buckle boots. The men's version, which I purchased[13] on a whim at Barney's NY during this past NYFW, has both silver and gold details, even better. I pretty much wear them every chance I get."


Jen Weinberg, Glamour[14] West Coast editor: "I have three. 1) The Fendi shoes I splurged on for my wedding, 2) My Gucci red leather disco bag, and 3) I just scored an amazing Karen Silton vintage denim skirt with camel leather trim from the A Current Affair[15] vintage show, which I've already worn twice in one week!"


Amanda Thomas, Luv Aj[16] designer: "I got a custom black Anaconda Python skin bucket bag made in Bali when I was there developing the Luv Aj leather line[17] and I have not stopped using it. The texture of the bag is insane. It has become my carry-all for life. I love it."


Sarah St. Lifer, freelance journalist: "These[18] super stretch jeans from Citizens of Humanity are a total wardrobe game changer for me. They're flattering, and are actually quite comfortable too. I'm not the type of girl who would normally wear these -- they're pretty sexy compared to my normal boyfriend jeans or skinny black pants -- but I've been experimenting with the surprisingly versatile look. Most recently, I wore them to an event with these[19] Kathryn Amberleigh booties and an Equipment blouse[20] . But, I've also been known to wear them with a baggy sweater and Chuck Taylors."


Sonja Rasula, Unique LA[21] founder: "My Clare Vivier blue leather tassel key chain. It seriously brings joy to my life every day!"
