Luxaholics, before you take another Manolo-ed step into the mall, check out Nina Garcia's hot-off-the-presses, "The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own." Nina outlines 100 of fashion's timeless classics -- that will remain unscathed by fads and fashion cycles.

Peppered with sartorial history and glam Ruben Toledo illustrations, plus quotes from icons like Coco Chanel and Diana Vreeland, Garcia has the inside track on where to score the best merch, and how to resuscitate duds like those floral prints you were tempted to put out to pasture.

Available in stores today, this book is a companion to Garcia's debut fashion-philosophy guide, "The Little Black Book of Style." As fashion director at Marie Claire, Garcia's advice runs the high-low gamut; from suggesting a fitted, zippered hoodie and Converse sneakers, to sexy high heels and a little black cocktail dress.

What are some of Garcia's luxiest picks?

• Ankle booties from Christian Louboutin or Prada


• Chanel ballet flats


• Hermés bangles


• A clutch by Nancy Gonzalez


• An "investment bag" like the Louis Vuitton Speedy, a Birkin or Chanel 2.5
