“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.”

“Our bible: Will Happiness Find Me? by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. It is also a great gift.” —P.L. and J.T.

“Many years ago, I bought a white two-piece suit from Chanel’s 1996 collection at a secondhand store in New York. My mom dyed it light blue so that I could wear it to my friend’s wedding; it’s still my favorite. This one is amazing for any wedding event.” —P.L.

“Three things I love in one product: baths, roses, and cool packaging.” —P.L.

“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.”

“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.”

“I love white tea because I’m sensitive to caffeine. The jasmine-scented one from Bellocq is what I drink every morning.”

“A lovely sexy dress perfect for all kinds of art events.”

“With my four-year-old son in NYC and his grandparents between Sweden and France, this is about as cute as it gets as an addition to travel and FaceTime calls.”

“Durable and chic, this is our day-to-day cutlery at our English country house. Tablescaping is a family affair in our world.”

“Get a couple of these Japanese BBQ grills and place them on the table for your next dinner. Don’t forget to get the special slow-burning coal and get your guests to do the work for you by cooking their own food. They can be used for anything; we love it with extremely thinly sliced marinated filet of beef (freeze after you marinade and cut it semi-frozen for wafer-thin slices).”

“Put this on your countertop and fill it with your drink of choice – et voilà, a chic minibar.”

“In time for end-of-summer celebrations, I’ve put the drinks we serve at the best parties in the world into a can. DIO cocktails are mixologist-level quality, the kind you’d pay $24 for at a NY hotspot, and all you have to do is pop the tab and pour over ice.”

“Malachite with a little gilt detail is a showstopper for dinner parties. Use them for gourmet meals or – more likely at my house – take-out fried chicken. Everything tastes better when it arrives on a nice plate.”

“Party Planning 101: Never. Ever. Run out of ice.”

“I was recently introduced to Marfa Stance and my parka is the most worn item in my wardrobe at the moment. They are lightweight enough to wear year round and you can squish them up into nothing for travel. And not only are they practical but are also endlessly fun as you can reverse them and change your collar or hood for an entirely new look.”

“The beaches of Martha’s Vineyard in the summer can be quite rocky and my kids are terrain immune, so I always wear rubber Birkenstocks or Sea Star’s waterproof espadrilles to keep up. ”

“We have Kassatex bedding throughout the house but this is the first year I discovered their beach towels thanks to Instagram (@kassatex) and Harry Styles.”

“When I started having children with an adventurous outdoorsy guy, I realized the importance of an all purpose blanket. We keep these in our apartment and in the back of our SUV and use them for everything - warmth, cushioning, portable “dining table”, dog bed, super hero cape, you name it.”

“In my life, I have only had rescue dogs. Right now I am the crazy NYC dog mom to three rescue dogs (from Animal Haven) and my eldest gal, Coco, has anxiety. These dog treats give her some much needed relief from the stresses of city life (which any human can relate to).”
