Our Highly Selective
Storefront

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

“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.
