Erik Madigan Heck, a highly acclaimed photographer known for redefining portraiture and fashion (who else could bring a fresh eye to both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Greta Gerwig?), brings his work together in The Tapestry—a book not meant for casual perusal but to be read from beginning to end, fully capturing his achievement. There is a dreamlike quality to Heck’s work, not in a manner of gauzy images, but in the form of visual poetry that represents the absent as much as the present. The book itself is a work of art, one destined to linger in your mind long after you have reached the final page. And then you can start the journey again—but let a few days pass before you do. You will be delightfully surprised to see how much of his imagery has remained in your subconscious. ($95, thamesandhudsonusa.com) —Jim Kelly

All-weather city boots can be a depressing relic of cold and slush, but trudging into January doesn’t have to be such a drag. Le Monde Béryl, known for its demure ballet flats, has teamed up with Diemme, the small family-ownedItalian shoemaker, on a Dolomite boot that checks all the boxes. Produced at a family factory in northeastern Italy, they’re made of water-resistent suede and lined with lamb shearling. The lightweight, full-traction rubber sole reflects Diemme’s expertise in outfitting outdoorspeople in South Tyrol, but the rest of the minimalist boot skews more Wooster Street. Exactly how we like it. ($818, lemondeberyl.com) —Ashley Baker

Living in a small New York apartment turns you into quite the dreamer. You find yourself nestled all snug—in what is barely passing as a one-bedroom—envisioning grander apartments with better amenities. Abel brings those dreams to a hand’s reach with their newest fragrance, The Apartment. Inspired by the warmth of a Haussmann-style Parisian pied-à-terre, where sunlight streams through velvet curtains, Abel founder Frances Shoemack and New Zealand’s only master perfumer, Isaac Sinclair, offer a sophisticated scent. The natural fragrance includes notes of tart, rum, tuberose, myrrh, tolu balsam, cherry, and cacao—the latter two created from upcycled food-industry waste. Transport yourself to Paris with a simple spritz—sans the rent or airfare. ($130, abelfragrance.com) —Gracie Wiener

The artist Julie Heffernan’s breathtaking paintings seem like visions from another, more magnificent world. Now, she adapts her otherworldly work from the canvas to the page in Babe in the Woods: or, The Art of Getting Lost. In this graphic novel—and Heffernan’s first book—we meet auto-fictional Julie, a young artist who tires of her sweltering apartment and is “sick of her life.” In search of fresh air, she sets off on a trip to her mother-in-law’s scenic cabin upstate. There, she goes on a hike, reflecting on her life with her toddler, Sam, as well as on her youth, relationships, and career. Her retrospection only increases upon realizing that she’s gotten lost in the wilderness. Through her characteristically wondrous artwork, Heffernan invites readers to ask: Will Julie find the resourcefulness to navigate to safety and the confidence to confront her past?
