My Favorite Things

“Loretta Caponi in Florence is delightfully old-fashioned, and the house has continued to make their signature styles in the ever-changing world of fashion. They even have an in-house seamstress who can make adjustments, if needed. What’s not to love?”

“It’s nearly impossible to pick just one piece from Edie Parker’s collection—they are all delicious! This sparkly number is particularly irresistible.”

“Our Florentine Coasters are made completely by hand in Florence - cast in re-assuringly weighty, solid brass. They are in constant use in my home and they look wonderful on side tables even without a drink on top.”

“This is such a treat for hot baths. which I have at least once a day. I much prefer baths to showers! It smells so good, and leaves me feeling calm and refreshed.”

“Having thoroughly enjoyed my dear friend Amber Guinness’s hosting for almost two decades I’m thrilled she finally decided to jot down her methods and recipes on paper. It’s a joy to cook from and has already provided me with a range of new go-to dishes. Her writing is also a beautiful account of growing up in Italy.”

“Snapps - a fantastic way to jolly along a meal as any self-respecting Swede will tell you, but who knew it could be this chic? From my favourite interiors shop in the world: Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm.”
