My Favorite Things

“I love white tea because I’m sensitive to caffeine. The jasmine-scented one from Bellocq is what I drink every morning.”

“Once a year, I get a new Smythson notebook for work. I write down everything I need to do and go through it each day as I cross things off my lists. This year, my initials are engraved in pink.”

“I love this skirt. Cate Holstein makes clothes that are both refined and sexy, which is no easy feat.”

“This fragrance-free shampoo is gentle but still does a great job cleansing my hair after a workout.”

“My office furniture is pale uncoated plywood—very soothing—so I wanted a simple desk chair that wouldn’t be obtrusive. This Eames is so comfortable.”

“Why buy cashmere unless it’s Loro Piana?”

“I’ve always been an Alaïa person, and this dress is perfect. You can’t go wrong with the picks from Lauren Santo Domingo’s Closet on Moda. She just has beautiful taste.”

“I’m afraid of laser treatments and injections, but I wanted to try something to give my skin some extra help, so I splurged on this. Fingers crossed.”

“The perfect tote from The Row, of course. That’s all that needs to be said.”

“I gave this blanket to a friend for her baby shower this past weekend. She really loved it!”

“My new perfume Leather Petals is New York-inspired. The idea is of a dark, decadent, avant-garde Gotham—in fragrance form.”

“My favorite novel since I was a teenager, Wide Sargasso Sea is beautiful and heartbreaking. I just ordered this edition, which delves into the book’s cultural impact 50 years after it was published.”
