My Favorite Things

“This lactic-acid serum is one of my absolute favorite skin-care products. My skin tends toward reptilian this time of year—using this every other night under moisturizer or oil makes a noticeable difference in its texture without causing any redness or irritation.”

“Ileana Makri is an Athens-based jewelry designer making stunning pieces inspired by travel and Greek mythology. I love everything she creates, but the Crown collection is particularly special. These earrings would be equally at home at a fancy event or with a white T-shirt and jeans.”

“I have had a hard time figuring out what jeans to wear, and these are a new favorite. They fit like a glove, they’re surprisingly comfortable—which is rare for non-stretch denim—and they’re on trend without feeling try-hard. I like to wear mine with boots or a tall pump.”

“This book looks incredible on your coffee table and is packed with great design discoveries from some amazing women, demonstrating that design is not—and never has been!—just a man’s world.”

“This is one of my favorite inexpensive discoveries. Unlike an ice roller, this really targets tight facial muscles, especially along the jawline—providing both tension relief and lymphatic drainage, meaning you look and feel a lot better after just a few minutes.”

“[Retrouvaí founder] Kirsty Stone’s Lollipop collection is somehow classic and playful all at once. The most perfect, special pieces, blending precious and semi-precious stones. I have one with malachite and green tourmaline and thought it would be a special-occasion piece, but I wear it with everything.”

“This dress from Cara Cara is everything. The cut looks great on everyone—that neckline—and the forest-green toile is perfection. Wear it with boots for a more casual look, or heels and great jewelry for evening.”

“ChappyWrap makes what can only be described as the coziest blankets in the world. Perfect for the beach or a picnic, or lazing around my apartment waiting for the pandemic to end.”
