Our Highly Selective
Storefront

“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!”

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

“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!”

“I couldn’t live without my Angel Wing fleece robe. The adult collection launched early this year and sold out straight, proving my theory that life is better cozy.”

“I launched our Match Your Mini collection last year, and Cowboy is my favorite, especially since I’m binge-watching Yellowstone. The whole family got pj’s for the holidays.”

“I have been collecting Hermès beach towels for many years. I love the unique designs and bold use of color—perfect for summer days spent at the beach. The La Route des Plages, designed by Quentin Monge is next on my wish list.”

“My obsession with Greece’s iconic evil eye began when I first met my husband. I have a few pieces by Begum Khan, and this cuff is one of my most treasured.”

“My favorite fragrance. There will always be a Diptyque Ambre candle burning in the house.”

“A cashmere beanie is a winter essential. The Elder Statesman is my go-to for fun, colorful cashmere pieces.”

“I am a big fan of Gucci Westman’s products. Her bronzer is a makeup must-have. Plus, her packaging is just beautiful.”

“I love a good flat, and Aquazzura makes some of the best, in my opinion.”

“The coziest of knitwear. I like to refresh my knitwear every few seasons, and this is my latest addition. I love the fringing and macramé detailing.”

“Every Christmas, my daughter, Olympia, buys me a Smythson notebook—perfect for jotting down ideas and sketching new collections. This year’s is pink, with “Wonder Woman” embossed on the front cover.”

“My clever sister designed these beautiful trays in a variety of colors. I have an assortment around the house.”

“This is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Safiyaa’s Daniela Karnuts is incredibly talented, and I own this turtleneck in five different colors with matching trousers. I feel comfortable, beautiful, and casual, but still look very put together and stylish.”

“My first bespoke client bought me this when I moved into my showroom for protection. Amethyst is great for protecting energy and enhancing creativity, so I always have it on display in my office.”

“I am a big believer in creative visualization, and every year I buy myself a blank corkboard to help me visualize and achieve my goals for the year ahead.”

“I buy these to match the corkboard. They are elegant and perfect for holding images in place.”

“Designing these shoes gave me some of the most joy I have had. The ‘crown jewel’ detailing is a personal favorite because, to me, it is the epitome of dressing up. I call them ‘the tiara of the foot!’ They are timeless and classic but still feel modern.”

“The Merveilles technique is revolutionary within jewelry. The diamonds catch the light from every angle, and it really sparkles. I wear this as an everyday wedding band. It is simple yet so striking at the same time.”

“I fell in love with this dress when I saw it, and my twin girls wore these for our New Year’s celebration. I always dress my girls in Bonpoint. Their clothes are the highest quality, and so beautiful. The Victorian style with the large flower feels very couture to me, and the girls absolutely loved wearing them.”

“I recently changed my skin-care routine following a recommendation from a friend. This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. My skin feels incredibly soft and hydrated, and it smells amazing.”

“When I was working at London’s ES Magazine, I had an addiction to Net-a-Porter so serious I had their sleek, black bags delivered to the mail room downstairs instead of directly to my office, for fear that my bosses would find out just how much time I spent on the site shopping. This Gucci tunic is something I’d pair with knee-high boots and picture myself wearing in Rome in the 1960s.”

“This shop is a book-lover’s paradise. You can easily—and very happily—while away a few hours here looking at their wares. The salespeople have always actually read the books. This new January fiction bundle looks like the perfect thing to settle down with for a long winter ahead.”

“Harvey Nichols’s buyer seems to know exactly what I’m looking for and what is completely impossible to resist even when I don’t. I usually say I’ll spend just 15 minutes, only to find that two hours later I’m still in their very spacious dressing rooms trying on everything in sight. I hope parties return this year so I can wear these sparkly shoes to them.”

“The women who started Maisonette all have children themselves, and it shows. The site is well-organized, easy to navigate, and fantastic for presents. I have boys, but if I had a girl, I’d definitely dress her in this Supergirl T-shirt.”

“My father taught me how to play poker when I was eight years old on family vacations. We used matchsticks for bets until I graduated to quarters. I taught my boys how to play—they’re total sharks—and we play on winter weekends.”

“In terms of improving quality of life when you travel, Rimowa suitcases are the golden ticket. The lozenge-like carriers roll so gently that you barely have to push them, and they seem to perfectly flatten and fit whatever you pack. We have four in the family, and I’m thinking of adding more.”

“As my team at Fleur knows, I’m a fan of a bunny motif. I’m also a big fan of collecting charms from Foundrae, mostly acquired in the form of gifts from my husband.”

“What’s better on a Friday night than a dirty martini served in pink-crystal​ ​glassware?”

“When I’m feeling stressed, I peruse eye-shadow palettes. Looking at color makes​ ​me happy. Surratt has beautiful, rich shades. I love creating my own collection.”

“Perfect to sleep or lounge in, and made to be shared.”

“I’m continually inspired by the provocative and seductive work of Helmut Newton.”

“A glass of wine and a handful of CBD-infused bath salts really get me in the​ ​mood to relax.”

“This lactic-acid serum is one of my absolute favorite skin-care products. My skin tends toward reptilian this time of year—using this every other night under moisturizer or oil makes a noticeable difference in its texture without causing any redness or irritation.”

“Ileana Makri is an Athens-based jewelry designer making stunning pieces inspired by travel and Greek mythology. I love everything she creates, but the Crown collection is particularly special. These earrings would be equally at home at a fancy event or with a white T-shirt and jeans.”

“I have had a hard time figuring out what jeans to wear, and these are a new favorite. They fit like a glove, they’re surprisingly comfortable—which is rare for non-stretch denim—and they’re on trend without feeling try-hard. I like to wear mine with boots or a tall pump.”

“This book looks incredible on your coffee table and is packed with great design discoveries from some amazing women, demonstrating that design is not—and never has been!—just a man’s world.”

“This is one of my favorite inexpensive discoveries. Unlike an ice roller, this really targets tight facial muscles, especially along the jawline—providing both tension relief and lymphatic drainage, meaning you look and feel a lot better after just a few minutes.”

“[Retrouvaí founder] Kirsty Stone’s Lollipop collection is somehow classic and playful all at once. The most perfect, special pieces, blending precious and semi-precious stones. I have one with malachite and green tourmaline and thought it would be a special-occasion piece, but I wear it with everything.”

“This dress from Cara Cara is everything. The cut looks great on everyone—that neckline—and the forest-green toile is perfection. Wear it with boots for a more casual look, or heels and great jewelry for evening.”

“ChappyWrap makes what can only be described as the coziest blankets in the world. Perfect for the beach or a picnic, or lazing around my apartment waiting for the pandemic to end.”

“This is my favorite luggage because it’s light and functional, and it’s the perfect carry-on for a quick trip.”

“Marcel Breuer’s modernist work has always served as an inspiration for me, which is why I selected the Neumann House as the backdrop for my lookbook shoots over the past few seasons.”

“I grew up near the Mediterranean, so olive oil has always been a staple in the meals I cook for my family. It’s something I use every day, and this dispenser is elegant yet functional.”

“Anissa’s designs are modern and feminine. This sculptural vase is the perfect addition to any living room, whether it’s filled with flowers or left on display as is.”

“I use this hair mask once a week to keep my curly hair moisturized and under control.”

“This is one of my favorite coffee-table books. I love the classic styles and photos from Betty’s personal collection and from the Yves Saint Laurent Museum exhibition, in Paris.”

“This book is a testament to a newfound connection to the natural world at a time we need it most. It’s a monument to the pleasures of the Flamingo Estate garden, the people that keep it buzzing, and the myriad ways Mother Nature takes care of us when we take care of her.”

“I’m a big fan of anything with upcycled materials. This apron is made from recycled fabrics held together with thick seams, and has a handy center pocket to stash recipes when I am cooking in the kitchen.”

“I took an older version of this camera to Mount Everest, up to the North Pole, and down to the South Pole. My version got banged up, frozen, and crushed—and it still works perfectly. Life needs better photos, and the Leica M 10-R is the best gift for anyone with a good eye.”

“I think a hot bath is the greatest luxury. So we made these soaps from rare Japanese essential oils: hinoki, hiba, Kitayama sugi, and yakusugi, responsibly sourced from UNESCO-protected cedar forests in Japan, from the limbs of previously cut trees. Each comes hand-wrapped in ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the 17th century.”

“I have a confession: I fall asleep in front of the fire at least once a week. We all need a soft emergency blanket for these situations. This one is perfect.”

“I’m not a fashion person—I’d much rather spend my money on a tree than clothes—but I do like a well-made suit. And since green is my favorite color, this olive corduroy suit from the tailors at Drake’s has my name on it.”

“I have been looking for an old motorbike for my son to ride around the paths where we live. This is the one from our dreams.”

“I have an eclectic collection of gold rings that I wear every day and a general obsession with jewelry. This would be perfect next to my Le Monde Béryl gold snake ring that I wear together with a diamond ring by Maison Auclert on my little finger.”

“I love Alex’s curatorial sense of style and her way of perfecting cherished things. I never take this jacket off.”

“The Chantecailles have been at the forefront of environmentally conscious beauty products since they began, and every product has the most beautiful color, texture, and scent. I love all of it, particularly their red lipstick during the winter.”
