“Not all white sneakers are created equally, clearly.”

“I’m a sucker for a backpack and now you can look cool—or, at least try—while wearing one.”

“The best candle out there. It’s smoky and sultry.”

“I’m a professional snacker. Like, if snacking were a subject, I’d have my PhD. And this is the pinnacle of snacking.”

“I needed a party trick, so I taught myself how to make balloon animals. This is not a joke.”

“This candle scent reminds me of my childhood summer at Fårö—also known as the home of Ingmar Bergman—where we had a wild climbing-rose bush outside our stone family home.”

“I’ve been collecting Ekeby vases for years. They’re produced in Sweden and I love the way everything Anna-Lisa Thomson designs is inspired by nature.”

“I never travel without this in my bag, as I’m always capturing life through its lens and, technically, it’s just a really great camera.”

“This liqueur is a traditional drink in Sardinia originating from the myrtle plant. It’s not easy to find, but whenever I come across it I always buy a bottle.”

“I love this shade of Hermès lipstick, especially for everyday use at the office. The formula is nourishing and hydrating.”

“Yet another classic travel staple I never leave home without.”

“This is an absolute staple in most Swedish kitchens, especially during December for the feast of St. Lucia, when we bake traditional pastries like Lussekatter and saffron buns.”

“Cardi in the summer? Absolutely! I keep a Kule cardi with me year-round, whether it’s to ward off Texas’s aggressive A.C. or an unusually cool evening.”

“Joanna is my skin’s fairy godmother, but getting an appointment with her is tricky these days because she’s in such high demand. Luckily, her full regimen, suitable for nearly every skin type, brings a dose of her magic to you.”

“When it comes to summer accessories, I’ve been loving rubber! It’s playful and practically indestructible, so even in white, this tote can withstand a day at the beach.”

“This lighthearted gown is perfect for a summer wedding or a friend’s backyard cocktail, where you can go barefoot! I love the sportiness of the stripes against a super-feminine ruffle.”

“Handmade in India, this stripe-and-floral throw is perfect for brightening a neutral sofa, but not so precious that it can’t be repurposed as a tent for movie night, superhero cape, or picnic blanket.”

“I pretty much thought all E.V.O.O. was created equal, until I tried Brightland. Sustainably produced in California using heirloom olives, it comes in a bottle that keeps it fresh by protecting it from damaging U.V. rays. Their Champagne Vinegar on hummus is also not to be missed!”

“Ranch ​w​ate​r—​in a can?​!​ Before you kick me out of Texas for good, hear me out. Epic Western Ranch Water is a small business that uses 100% blue agave tequila, pure Mexican mineral water, and citrus, so it’s exactly like the kind I’d mix up at home. Never did I think I’d get behind canned cocktails, but here I am.”

“Obsessed. In fact, that does even begin to describe my relationship with Marie Sharp’s Hot Sauce. I discovered it in Belize and was shipping it back by the case before it was more readily available in the U.S. If you know me well, you’ve definitely been given a bottle.”

“I have recently been lusting over a tennis necklace but am drawn to pieces that are slightly different. I love designer Tara Maria Famiglietti’s subtle spin on the classic piece. It is the definition of a classic piece I would love to pass down to my daughter.”

“Clean skincare has come a long way from one aisle in your local health food store. Furtuna harvests ingredients from their own farm in Sicily. It feels super luxurious on the skin but is also super gentle and effective.”

“I only use non-toxic skincare and makeup. This glides on perfectly and is the exact clean dupe to a popular tinted moisturizer I had used since middle school.”

“When our son Jude was little, he suffered from eczema and we searched far and wide for natural remedies. This cream was created by a mother, who had similar issues, and we still use it to this day. We love the lemongrass scent and buy it in bulk.”

“This sauna blanket became my lockdown all-star two years ago, and I still use it when I can’t get to the gym or am craving a good deep sweat. It is truly magic.”

“At the risk of sounding like RHONY Sonja Morgan, I think the toaster oven is my most important appliance in the kitchen, next to my juicer and blender. We use it for everything from vegetables, to tortilla pizzas for the kids, to caramelized Japanese yams—and yes, even toast.”

“The number one wellness appliance, in my opinion, is a good juicer. This is the juicer I’ve owned for over a decade and is what I use to make a daily green juice for me and my kids. It’s fast, efficient, and easy to clean. We even take it on road trips, to my husband’s chagrin.”

“A good-quality Dutch oven is one of the top three investments any well-appointed kitchen should have. I cook everything from soups to stews to pasta and stir-fries in it, and it ages beautifully. I also prefer a fun color like red or orange.”

“It’s a recent discovery and my absolute favorite kitchen appliance for fast dressings and sauces without having to pull out my large blender. Not to mention, it’s chic and can be left out on the counter.”

“When I was opening my Beverly Hills store last year, I needed something to read during my travel quarantine in L.A. I randomly selected this one not knowing the impact it would have on my life. I have read many books on health and wellness given my thyroid disease, but this book turned me onto a new anti-inflammatory lifestyle. I have never felt better.”

“We live in a technology-based world, but there are just some things that I can’t put into the notes on my phone. Being a designer, I must sketch, and I need something where I can put pen to paper. This planner keeps my busy schedule perfectly organized and I can sketch out new ideas while I’m on calls and in-between meetings.”

“I just bought this dress for my birthday trip to Miami. It’s going to be one of those pieces that is on constant rotation in my closet for spring and summer. It’s got that perfect ‘it’s not just a sundress’ feel.”

“Everybody needs the perfect pair of huggies that can be worn day to night. The Kevin Huggies are the ultimate essential for your wardrobe and the perfect pair of just-chunky-enough gold hoops.”

“I have been traveling to California so often now and driving around in a convertible. This hat folds up perfectly and fits in my luggage.”

“Created by my friend Monika Blunder, this is an all-you-need concealer and foundation in one. She makes every color under the sun, so there is a match for everyone. It’s thick but not heavy and covers any imperfections without it looking like you’re wearing a ton of makeup.”

“However cool my old luggage was, it was metal and very heavy. I needed something that I could pack in for seven-plus days for work trips to Los Angeles. This trunk fits absolutely everything I need and it is never overweight!”

“Named after my grandfather Dean, this necklace adds a little edge to your daily layer of gold chains.”

“This is the most amazing product in the world. It’s a combination of a serum and an oil in one that keeps your skin hydrated. It’s honestly a miracle product.”

“My friends were trying to figure out what to get me for my birthday as a group gift and this was it. The perfect summer clutch.”

“My friend Tina Craig created the ultimate gloss and treatment in one. I’ve never been able to find a tube gloss like this that doesn’t feel sticky and is long-lasting and hydrating. The best lip treatment!”

“Someone brought me this as a hostess gift because of the label, but I love it and have kept buying it!”

“I fucking hate when people say ‘pop of color,’ but as someone who generally dresses like a Sicilian widow, this sweater makes me look vaguely less like the angel of death.”

“When I chow too much soy sauce and wake up looking like I’m storing nuts for the winter, these miracle tools take down the swelling and carve out your cheekbones instantly for that snatched Hailey Bieber look.”

“My husband and I went to hotel Borgo Santo Pietro and learned that their line of natural skincare started being made by monks before 1129! We found this cream to be legit crack for the face and have been telling everyone for years—and now Net-a-Porter picked it up, so we feel so vindicated.”

“Nell Diamond’s nap dresses legit got me through the pandemic. After a month of sweatpants, I switched to rotating these.”

“My friend Eva’s jewelry is chic but edgy. I love the black rhodium daggers with her micro-pavé. Her stuff is so dainty but also rock ‘n’ roll.”

“I used to go through travel Dopp kits every year because the stuff would all be flying around and it would get dirty fast. This is pricey, but has made me so calm and happy to put on a hotel sink—everything is separated and clean.”

“I love kids’ clothes and am constantly looking for my nieces and godchildren. And on little girls, I love Liberty prints and smocking.”

“This is the most beautiful, intense book I’ve ever read and it has shaped my view of humanity in profound ways. I won’t give away more than that.”

“While I am more excited about technological innovation than ever, I am equally craving connections and deeply lived interaction with the physical world, which has brought me back to photography. My childhood was steeped in the arts as my mother was an artist. I’m grateful to have learned how to use a rangefinder later in life and Leica is the gold standard.”

“Kjaer Weis is the O.G. of environmentally sound beauty, with the most exquisite reusable packaging. I use a total of four makeup products and this is one of them—filled with their highlighter, which is a wonder in a single product.”

“Wölffer, the only family vineyard in Sagaponack, makes the perfect rosé wines. They remind me of summer and of home, so I order a case every Memorial Day and it usually doesn’t last long.”

“I have always appreciated beautiful vintage cars, and no one has a more curated eye in this area than Stuart Parr. Stuart took his love of classic design and turned it into a business a few years ago. He now restores and deals in the rarest of the rare—each car unique. This one is the perfect example of his eye at work.”

“My friend, the great stylist George Cortina, recently designed a collaborative collection with the esteemed London tailors Anderson & Shepard. George is one of these people who makes everything he touches incredibly chic, and so the pajamas he designed in cotton shirting are absolute perfection! I ordered classic white but they come in a range of Gatsby-esque shades.”

“It may surprise you to know that Tom Ford has recently issued a new version of his luxury take on the perfect white sneaker in sustainable faux leather, made from recycled apple peels. Who knew?”

“The classic candle with the most amazing, long-lasting scents. I love Baies (of course) and Rose… So delightful.”

“​​The classic British brand Drake’s has long been a favorite of mine. Every fall, their soft cashmere scarves are the perfect touch. I purchased a bright orange one this year.”

“Loretta Caponi in Florence is delightfully old-fashioned, and the house has continued to make their signature styles in the ever-changing world of fashion. They even have an in-house seamstress who can make adjustments, if needed. What’s not to love?”

“Our Florentine Coasters are made completely by hand in Florence - cast in re-assuringly weighty, solid brass. They are in constant use in my home and they look wonderful on side tables even without a drink on top.”

“This is such a treat for hot baths. which I have at least once a day. I much prefer baths to showers! It smells so good, and leaves me feeling calm and refreshed.”

“Having thoroughly enjoyed my dear friend Amber Guinness’s hosting for almost two decades I’m thrilled she finally decided to jot down her methods and recipes on paper. It’s a joy to cook from and has already provided me with a range of new go-to dishes. Her writing is also a beautiful account of growing up in Italy.”

“Snapps - a fantastic way to jolly along a meal as any self-respecting Swede will tell you, but who knew it could be this chic? From my favourite interiors shop in the world: Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm.”

“Alice is one of my absolute favorite jewelry designers. Her designs reveal an extraordinary attention to detail, the stones she hand-selects are always exquisite.”

“I’ve been a major fan of Charlotte’s sculptural work from the beginning of her career. All of her pieces are so unique and always elevate any look. I’ve been jonesing for one of her statement rings for a while.”

“This was my mother’s scent, I wear it every day to remember her. I mix it with my favorite essential oils to put my personal stamp on the nostalgic scent.”

” I have a big crush on any and everything that my dear friend Alex Eagle designs. She has the best eye, period. The Eagle Hodges tableware collection is great for brunches in the garden and long dinners in the backyard.”

“I’ve always been fascinated by Daniela’s work, which is largely inspired by nature. I can’t wait to have my own bespoke crab ring honoring my husband, a Cancer who loves the ocean.”

“Anabela Chan is committed to sustainable design, and I’ve been obsessing over these rose earrings, made from recycled rainbow aluminum since I first saw them.”
