“This has been my essential suitcase for years. Big enough that I can make it work for a week and it goes everywhere with complete ease. I love the aluminum version in particular as it picks up character along the way.”

“This trouser is now dubbed ‘the magic pant,’ because it flatters so many forms and looks as exquisite as it feels to wear. I wear them at least twice a week these days. It literally feels like you are wearing a sweatpant—and they never wrinkle. The wool comes directly from one of our ethical, regenerative Tasmanian farms and is spun and woven in a mill that uses renewable energy.”

“I’ve been wearing the sample of this beauty for over a year and am constantly stopped on the street. It’s perfect for both fall and spring transitions and adds freshness to every outfit—and it even works over a blazer. I love it with vintage distressed denim and one of our crisp, white organic cotton shirts.”

“I was late to the party on self-care generally, including CBD products, and fell in love with oHHo when I was introduced by a friend who is a mega-fan. I vote for the Dream Cream, as I love the scent profile and the fact that the tube is recyclable.”

“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.”

“I love a jumpsuit to simplify dressing and this one, in our custom organic cotton, walks the line so perfectly between ease and clean lines that I dress it up and down with sneakers, heels, and accessories. The Olive version just joined the collection and I find it to work as a killer neutral year-round.”

“I am on a persistent mission to find cool, comfortable, and ethically and environmentally made shoes. Veja has been my go-to for sneakers for years and I love this new iteration of their organic-cotton trainer.”

“Our recycled-cashmere blanket has become my number one gift. It’s exquisitely crafted in post-consumer recycled cashmere so soft that you would never know it was recycled. It took us three years to find and it works with so many tastes and homes.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have long been an avid Rolex collector. There is simply not a more perfect watch! I recently bought a GMT-Master II called the “Root Beer.” It is made of rose gold and stainless steel and has a unique brown & black bezel.”

“Every time I wear my AARMY classic sweatshirt, someone stops me to ask me about it. I co-founded the brand in 2019 with coaching superstars Akin Akman and Angela Davis, mixing a next-level physical experience with mental conditioning. The AARMY gear collection bleeds street and sport.”

“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?”

“It’s nearly impossible to pick just one piece from Edie Parker’s collection—they are all delicious! This sparkly number is particularly irresistible.”

“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.”

“My sister Brooke bought me this bag for Christmas, and it goes everywhere with me. It carries everything—even all my kids’ snacks, which is a lot—and goes with any outfit.”

“Alix specializes in hand-crafted, embroidered, and block-printed jackets, shirts, and dresses. I always feel my best in anything Bohemia. Her tailoring never ceases to amaze me.”

“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.”

“I can’t live without the Oak Essentials Ritual Oil. Not only does it smell amazing, but it has blue tansy which helps calm inflammation. I use this morning and night in place of my moisturizer and it gives my skin such an incredible glow.”

“Everyone is always asking what candle I’m burning when they walk into my house and the answer is almost always this! I love how the scent carries and fills the room without feeling overbearing, and I think the beautiful ceramic vessel adds something special to any space.”

“My daily uniform almost always consists of some sort of lightweight sweater, and right now this is the piece I’m wearing on repeat. It looks great unbuttoned and layered over a tank or worn with just a simple bralette underneath. I also love that it’s made from undyed alpaca, which gives it a perfectly lightweight feel.”

“I was searching endlessly for the perfect bag for spring and then I found this. From the size and color to the classic construction, every detail makes it the ultimate investment piece that I know I’ll be loving for years to come. I also love how I can fit all of my essentials in it and how it completely pulls any look together.”

“Finding a pair of jeans that delivers on comfort, fit, and versatility can be tough, but this pair really checks every box. I love the shade of the wash and how high-waisted they are—I actually hemmed mine a tiny bit so that my ankle peeks out to give them a casual yet polished feel.”

“Our Cotton Crossover Sandal is my go-to for the warmer months ahead. The footbed molds to your feet so it’s incredibly comfortable and it happens to look good with everything, whether it’s a casual dress or a pair of jeans. I have this style in almost every color and I think it’s as classic as they come.”

“I try to travel with a carry-on whenever possible, so having a bag that’s dependable and well-designed is an absolute must. I love the clean, minimalist look and the fact that it can hold everything I need for a weekend away.”

“I think Etsy is such a great resource for home essentials that feel unique and special. I purchased these linen coasters in several colors so that I can play with different variations around my house. I keep sets on all my coffee tables, I use them to set the dining room table, have them in our bedrooms, and by the bar—truly a home staple.”

“This is truly all I use in my own hair, and all I need when doing hair. It’s an all-in-one styling product that works for almost all hair types. Super-user-friendly, with our incredible pepo-and-olive signature scent. I like to say you can use it like a primer coat of paint on wet hair, to tame frizz and set curls, and then you could also use it like a top coat on dry hair, as a finishing product. It does it all. Everyone I recommend it to loves it.”

“I love their knitwear. Every late fall, I stop by Filson on the Lower East Side to pick up one of these gems. I know I can always rely on them to make at least one really great sweater. Their sweaters have become one of my winter staples.”

“I drink all different types of coffee, but I’ve recently switched from a ceramic pour-over to this new Chemex. There’s no going back! The Chemex helps me make, by far, the smoothest cup of coffee regardless of the brand of bean.”

“I’ve been a big Sony Electronics fan for years. I pretty much use these for two things only: flying and making playlists. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t fly without them, no matter how long the flight is. They also assist me in my late-night playlist-making for the Blackstones Collective, since we’ve started posting monthly playlists on our Spotify.”

“I’m going on my sixth year of wearing Blundstones. My current pair is my third pair. I love them because I can wear them year-round—in the summer with socks and shorts, or in the winter with denim. My son, Luka, has an identical pair.”

“This is the lightest, most powerful, and hottest professional blow-dryer I’ve used to date. Those three features are the most important for me behind the chair. For the price, I always recommend this to clients. The Twin Turbos are so durable and last for a very long time, way more than some of the more expensive dryers on the market.”

“This company makes one of the oldest handmade brushes to date. I’ve been using them myself for 20 years. It’s multi-use: a de-tangler, for dry brushing, and amazing for blow-drying. It’s the Swiss Army knife of hairbrushes. It’s my No. 1 tool, set aside from my scissors and comb.”

“I recently switched from face creams to oils. After experimenting with a few, I’ve landed here. This by far is the best serum for me. I love that it’s fragrance-free. A little goes a long way, and it moisturizes and keeps my face feeling soft throughout the day. I use it day and night.”

“I was first introduced to Herend by my mother-in-law when my husband and I were choosing china for our wedding. Their china is hand-painted in Hungary, and each one is a bit different. I love the naturalistic garden scene—it looks equally at home set on white linen as it does on wicker.”

“Remember embroidered cashmere pashminas, those shawls that everyone had to have in the mid-1990s? Well, we’ve seen countless imitations, but the Lena cashmere shawls by Kashmir Loom are the real deal. Their skilled artisans spin and weave each shawl entirely by hand. This one, in particular, is incredibly special because it’s also hand-embroidered with paisley trim, reminding me of the Kashmiri shawls painted by John Singer Sargent.”

“As a nearsighted follower of fashion since age 10, I’m only now trying to embrace my four-eyes status. I’m partial to a 90s tortoise frame—not too thick or oversize or trendy. I like my glasses to look as normal as possible, no statements—similar to what I wore in fourth grade.”

“What can I say? I love a timeless classic, and the Cartier Panthère is for life. Luckily, a watch is one of the best investments you can make, and the pre-owned-watch market is only growing.”

“My daily uniform is a navy or gray crewneck—my collection started in high school, and I still wear each one. This year, I’m branching out into browns, and this slightly heathered mushroom offers the same classic neutrality of a gray. Destined to be a new classic for me.”

“Emma Pettway is one of the talented artisans we offer at Old Stone Trade, and she has her own Etsy shop. She is a third-generation Gee’s Bend quilter, and her use of color is so joyful and unexpected. This quilt features one of her favorite patterns, the housetop, and would look beautiful on a bed or hanging on a wall as an art piece.”

“I love white table linens and have quite a collection, all passed down from relatives over the years. These are hand-embroidered in Portland, Oregon, and I hope they cover my own daughters’ tabletops in future years.”

“My husband and I are self-proclaimed chair addicts, and over the years we’ve inadvertently accumulated a collection of campaign-style chairs ranging from vintage Arne Norell to simple canvas-and-wood from the local flea market. I love this take on a traditional Berber folding chair by leathersmith Dario Alfonsi, and the leopard print would not be out of place in Napoleon’s own tent. Alfonsi handcrafts his pieces upon order at his atelier, in Rome.”

“This is the dress that launched Old Stone Trade. I met Michele Am Russo and Julia Frommel on a trip to Rome and was enchanted by their aesthetic and craftsmanship. Their navy Apron Dress, designed with a square neck for O.S.T., is a uniform of sorts—perfect for all seasons and occasions.”

“My mother taught me two things: a) Never show up to someone’s house empty-handed; b) Make sure the garage door is fully open before you back out. For the first, my go-to is a Jonathan Adler candle. I love that this one has been graffitied with real gold. Plus, once the candle’s done, scoop out the wax and … voilà! You’ve got a sweet spot for succulents.” —R.D.

“John surprised me with this cardholder for Christmas, and even more surprising was that he chose an on-trend color. Now I’m wondering if he should shop for me more often … ” —K.S.

“I would have chosen this even if Katie wasn’t my B.F.F.—cross my heart. On your thighs, in your shoes to prevent blisters, wherever there’s a little rub and/or tug, this stuff is game-changing.” —R.D.

“Now that I’m spending my winters in Palm Beach, I couldn’t be happier that I solved thigh chafe!” —K.S.

“I love matchbook diaries. My husband and I had our wedding reception at Lafayette, so for one of our anniversaries I gave him (well, I guess the truth is, I really gave myself) a photo of the matchbox from Lafayette. It has pride of place on our gallery wall—and in our hearts.” —R.D.

“Not to plug my own book after plugging my brand, but … getting messages from women that have been helped by Body Talk is precisely why I do what I do.” —K.S.

“I’m lucky to be able to try out a lot of skin care (and unlucky to have developed crow’s feet as I age). Bottom line is, this stuff works. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s worth it.” —R.D.

“Yet another work-from-home necessity. If you’re sitting most of the time, which we probably all are, the Theragun helps you to not feel like one big knot.” —K.S.

“Wearing Kule makes me feel cool. I’ve never met a cashmere sweater I didn’t like, and this one is no exception. Their iconic red-and-blue ding-a-ling at the hem makes me smile.” —R.D.

“The Powerbot is one of my top-three best friends. Our apartment has tile floors, and let me tell you—no one works harder than my Powerbot.” —K.S.

“My ego wouldn’t allow me to not include a pair of velvet slippers from my collaboration with Stubbs & Wootton, which was all inspired by my favorite elements of hotel living—including the club sandwich!”

“And in my endless quest to replicate hotel living at home, I turned to Hill House for this plush, piped bathrobe.”

“This was originally a splurge item, since it looks like any other navy turtleneck, but it’s quickly become an essential layering piece. I don’t travel without it.”

“I spent my first three years in Manhattan hitting the pavement as a party columnist for a newspaper, and got burnt out on regular black-tie. I like to spice it up with outlandish options, like this silk robe from New & Lingwood, which gives new meaning to ‘peacocking.’”

“I had a bunch of white shirts made, very affordably, the last time I was in Hong Kong. I like—and by ‘like’ I mean ‘refuse to wear any shirts without’—an oversized Oxford collar. This Thom Browne iteration is an elevated take on that … not to mention I’d join a cult if Browne started one.”

“I’m lucky to visit Montana every so often, and I try to steal inspiration from the homes out there for my apartment, to avoid falling in the ‘midcentury metropolitan’ trap that seems to plague Manhattan.”

“A favorite wedding gift to break the tired tradition of giving servingware and salad bowls.”

“I can always rationalize a new pair of sunglasses due to the fact that I can’t grow out of them, and they last a lifetime … provided I don’t lose them in a cab.”

“I have at least 20 pairs of these boxer briefs. Supersoft, with just enough stretch.”

“Italian summer is coming.”

“Dr. Samantha Boardman writes, ‘We are what we do.’ And she says doing things as simple as taking a walk three times a week can give us vitality, the positive energy that’s at the core of having a great day, every day. This book is full of good, practical advice I’ve taken to heart.”

“Every time I wear these reading glasses, I get compliments. “Are they Tom Ford?” I love telling people I bought them for less than $30. I have at least 10 pairs (in black and tortoise) scattered around my house.”

“This Alex Mill jumpsuit is a key part of my weekend uniform. It’s casual (but not too casual) and slimming! I have it in multiple colors. P.S.: You can’t beat the price.”

“This is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe right now. Sure, it’s a cardigan, but in early fall it doubles as a coat. Wear it over a dress or a jumpsuit and you’re good to go.”

“Hands down, my favorite ring of all time. At some point, I’ll get it. Someday.”

“I first spotted these low-heeled Prada pumps in Paris last fall, and couldn’t get them out of my mind. Pre-coronavirus, I would’ve never considered buying shoes that didn’t give me at least three to four inches of height. Times have changed. And these slingbacks even have a rubber sole!”
