My Favorite Things

“Andrée Putman is one of my heroes. Her design sensibility was ahead of its time and her personal style was iconic. She is one of the great female interior designers in a world historically dominated by men. I have many of her books, which provide endless inspiration.”

“I love to power walk through L.A. It’s important not to give in too much to athleisure. Scala makes chic bucket hats with large, protective brims. This one is something my grandmother would approve of for “walking” attire.”

“I’m never without some kind of a red lip and haven’t found one better than Gucci Westman’s Lip Suede. The pigment is pure and intense. I use the tiniest amount for a subtle stain; when I wake up in the morning it’s still on. Plus, the compact comes with a mirror.”

“I am obsessed with Maldon and usually keep a little bag of it in my purse. The bucket feels extravagant but also useful. It’s my favorite hostess gift.”

“The best black pens for sketching and writing.”

“I love a 90s Filofax. I don’t use iCal.”

“This is the best belt. My husband and I have matching ones. They come in a million incredible colors.”

“The old school nightgown. I usually buy mine at Peress on the Upper East Side.”

“I love a loafer. Tod’s are classic. I wear them like Birkenstocks.”

“Our signature Boule Collar in Onyx is my everyday go-to in order to feel chic and put-together with minimal effort.”

“Tequila is my go-to alcoholic beverage. I like it on the rocks with lime and a splash of soda. My dad used to always drink Don Julio, so it reminds me of him.”

“I love all things Fortuny. Recently, I’ve started collecting the pillows made of antique fabric remnants.”
