My Favorite Things

“For two years, we’ve collaborated with Drogheria Crivellini, a family-run company based in Udine, Italy. I wear these navy Mary Janes in our signature cotton-linen fabric in spring, summer, and fall, and then switch them out for velvet when the temperatures drop.”

“A talented colleague introduced me to these magical pens, and now—because of how good they are for sketching and scratching out to-do lists—they’re on practically every surface of our office.”

“Inès Bressand’s handmade straw baskets are sculptural, simple, and, best of all, incredibly functional.”

“The images in Claude Nori’s An Italian Summer—culled from over 30 years of travel along the coastline—have an inescapable pull over me, no matter my hour of day, time of year, or state of mind.”

“This brush has become my go-to for applying everything. I love its sturdy beechwood handle and the fact that the bristles don’t wind up all over my face.”

“I’m a sucker for anything that be a standalone object—or, sneakily, just a catchall for tchotchkes.”

“Our voluminous, workwear-inspired jacket in duchesse satin. For an evening out, just add a pair of pants—or go without.”

“I collect jewelry with coins and intaglios, many of which I’ve found on trips over the years. This 1st-century Roman carnelian looks like it’s practically glowing from within.”

“I wore this suit almost all summer long, under sheer beach shirts and by the pool, over and over. It’ll be the first thing in my suitcase on my next warm-weather trip.”

“A perfect way to wake up: a tea that smells like someone was smoking cigarettes overnight in a butcher’s shop.”
