My Favorite Things

“I’m always looking for a bag to take to meetings in the city or use to carry my laptop while traveling. I love the simplicity of this canvas tote, while the woven detailing and black piping make it super elegant and refined. A timeless classic.”

“Everyone talks about the little black dress, but I’m always wearing a white dress; I love the contrast of the lighter shade against my dark hair. This dress, in particular, feels so elegant and timeless while also being sexy and playful.”

“I adore anything that has a hexagonal shape, and I also have an unhealthy slash very healthy obsession with thin, dainty glassware. I first stumbled upon these in Venice and fell in love with their delicate yet refined design. When you sip anything out of thin glassware it just hits differently.”

“When I moved to New York City in my 20s, I would always go in the Dinosaur Designs store, hoping I would one day be able to afford their designs, which are so elegant and unique in their materiality. While made from resin, they have an organic shape and a varied color that is reminiscent of nature. A Flintstone vibe.”

“Is there anything better than the scent of hinoki? I just love its rich, smoky, earthy notes—and it feels so appropriate for the fall and winter months ahead.”

“I often turn to the work of fellow interior designers and architects to foster my imagination and build on my design education. Nicolas’s architecture is warm minimalism at its finest, and I’m very smitten with the clean lines featured throughout his work. I love that this book serves as inspiration on both the inside and outside—the most beautiful, decorative object for any coffee table or shelf.”

“This natural, soap- and sulfate-free cleanser is my daily hero. You might think a foam cleanser would be too drying, but, thanks to the antioxidant-packed ingredient list, it gently cleans and softens your skin. I’ve been using it for years. It’s just so good!”

“The matte, porcelain texture and tone of this candle is so beautiful, but then you light it up and suddenly you’re transported by some of my favorite notes—damp moss, crumpled blackcurrant leaves, and sun-dried fig leaves—which are perfect for the cooler months. It’s such a timeless scent.”

“Oh, how I love a mini stool. Perfect to nestle under a console or to pull up as an added seat or surface, it offers a multitude of décor options. This li’l cutie was inspired by the French 50s stools I purchased at auction and acts as a statement piece in any space, bringing texture and stylish comfort.”

“I am obsessed with Totême and can’t wait to wear this cozy, chunky turtleneck sweater in the cooler months. I’m always looking for pieces that feel really timeless—something that could have been worn in the 50s or 60s—and, for me, that is a nautical stripe. It’s just so elegant.”
