Best Finds of 2013

[Idris]

So, 2013 has drawn to a close and so has the window for nominations. It is therefore time for voting.
Please simply copy the most recently posted version of the list and add your votes. (Mine are already listed in the post below). Only one vote per person per category, and it is not necessary to cast a vote in both categories. Please note that you may not “do a Christine” and vote for your own model! Voting finishes at the end of the month and no actual prizes except for the kudos of having found something which is highly coveted by your fellows!

Remember, you are voting for the model(s), in the condition pictured above, you would most like to add to your collection.
