Alison Loehnis’s Favorite Things

“Melissa from Métier is just brilliant. She designs bags that are super functional, but they look incredibly elegant and sleek. She thinks of everything.”

“I absolutely love what Chemena Kamali is doing at Chloé. I was lucky enough to get my hands on these jeans before they sold out in a flash. The fit is amazing.”

“I’m obsessed with The Elder Statesmen. There’s no such thing as too much of it in one’s wardrobe. This hat blends tie-dye and camo and has become a vital part of my winter wardrobe.”

“I love a chain. I love a layer. I love a stack. Foundrae’s chunky chain really is the dream.”

“I adore the new direction at Valentino. These pumps work with everything—jeans or something more dressy. They make me smile.”

“Sunglasses are the easiest accessory. These are a really nice balance between a bit oversized and sleek.”

“Sonia Petroff is a brand that caught my eye a number of years ago. These belts are really special. They’re more jewelry than a belt, and they brighten up any look.”

“I love Diptyque. This eucalyptus scent is possibly my favorite. It’s fresh and also cozy, and you don’t smell it everywhere.”

“Eyeliner is my desert island product. Victoria Beckham’s satin kajal liner is fabulous. It glides on easily and it doesn’t move. It lasts all day.”

“I got these Christofle tumblers as a wedding present and have collected them ever since. They are the perfect cocktail glass.”

“I recently read Verghese’s The Covenant of Water. It’s one of the most beautiful books that I’ve come across.”

“Masque Vivant is a game changer. It comes with me on every trip.”

“I love setting a table and adore the shape of these mats by La Gallina Matta. They’re super elegant and they have a finish so you can easily wipe them clean.”
