Our Highly Selective
Storefront

“I’m not the kind of person who wears perfume much; my scents have to smell really natural as though the flower was seduced directly off the vine into the bottle. This smells just like that.”

“These sneakers are my go-to. I wear them on set, sailing, gardening… They’re leather-free and breathable. I got the same pair for my husband, and he wears them nearly every day.”

“My friend got me this candle and loved it so much that she decided to keep it for herself. This was revealed to me one evening at her house and I commented on how much I liked the scent. I bought one for myself the next morning.”

“I have a pair I wear in the house and a pair I wear around town. They’re best when walking on cobblestones because they give you a little foot massage. Rimbaud used to wear these exact ones.”

“I ride my bicycle most places and like to stop in little shops, so I have a basket on the front and back. The rattan ones are best because they look so charming and do the same thing as ugly metal ones.”

“My friend Daniel told me about a quote in this book that I loved so much that I bought the book. The whole book is full of wisdom and poetry of observation.”

“And what’s a good book without a nice hot cup of tea? Mint is the best because it tastes delicious but also has the medicinal benefit of settling the stomach. I like to put honey and milk in mine when I’m feeling especially cozy.”

“I love this bodysuit because it’s comfortable and makes me feel like Brigitte Bardot in the late 1950s.”

“I’m really looking forward to this book’s release this spring. A very inspiring woman and successful decorator, Frances Elkins was ahead of her time.”

“Because it’s so classy.”

“I just need this Rimowa suitcase…”

“This Hermès magnifying glass reminds me of Dali’s magnifying glass. I love Dali.”

“A jumper for my dog, Franklin, whom we adopted a few years ago.”

“Because 2023 is going to be COSMIC!”

“I like the series Yellowstone a lot. This jacket makes me think of Kevin Costner as John Dutton.”

“Snow, sparks, mosses, flame burning in the fireplace… Diptyque imprints the smell of all these strong memories and brings back the emotions associated with them.”

“My bath has never smelled so good! All of the Costa products are incredible. My small tub immediately transforms into a sublime onsen spa—closed eyes required.”

“Read it all the way through or read it here and there… A beautifully written collection of nature observations by Aldo Leopold from 1949. I keep it on my bedside as a reminder to approach each day with a similar lens.”

“I take scents and self-care seriously and keep bouquets of vetiver roots in my shower and closets. The lofting smell brings me comfort throughout the seasons.”

“You can tell how many of these candles I’ve gone through based on the number of pen holders in my office… The green glass canister makes for a very chic desk caddy of sorts. An incentive to scent up any and all rooms.”

“If you see this champagne, grab it! Agrapart is the icon of my winter celebrations. My dear friends at Alder & Co. introduced me to it and I haven’t strayed since.”

“I’ve been collecting Fortuny pillows since I first visited their striking store in Venice when I was 12. Sometimes pillow prints can feel dated to me, but Fortuny is forever.”

“I often wear neutrals, so I like to add a Bode piece to enliven my attire. Everything Emily makes is gold and rooted in history. Her preservation of crafts and silhouettes is an inspiration, to say the least.”

“These are my daily drivers. I designed them based on ancient boat-shaped jewelry, and I haven’t gotten off the ship since.”

“Ah, green, especially this green! There is nothing like a pre-loved Epi duffel. When not using it to travel, I store toilet paper inside to keep the rolls out of sight in my closet.”

“We use a lot of the Ann Demeulemeester x Serax glassware at Holiday Bar. For my home, I love the short tumblers for wine (sacrilege, I know).”

“This is the staple of all staples. No matter what the outfit is, there’s always a white Sunspel T-shirt underneath.”

“I once explained to Dr. Devgan that I am extremely lazy about skin care, so she had to pick just one product for me to use every day. This is what she chose. Now, if I don’t have it on my face, I’m convinced everyone is looking at my dry skin.”

“I don’t love to cook, but I love cookbooks. Since I am not a chef, it’s where a lot of the ideas come from for new restaurant concepts. Wolfgang Puck is my favorite. This book—which incorporates recipes from Spago, Chinois on Main, and more—is perfectly dated in the best way.”

“I collect a lot of Memphis Milano designs. These Ettore Sottsass plates are great to hang for a subtle hit of postmodernism.”

“I am always trying new denim in search of the right cut, especially for someone my height (6’6!). I finally landed on this pair from Isabel Marant.”

“I love an oversized knit. I buy the biggest size they make and wear it like a blanket.”

“This suite of Alex Katz prints from the early 90s depicts iconic New York art couples. We have all five of them hanging at Holiday Bar.”

“I try to avoid too many external meetings during the day, which allows me to have a daytime uniform comprised of Adidas track pants and a hoodie. The Wales Bonner x Adidas collaboration is a favorite.”

“I hate water. This is what I drink all day long.”

“My friend Camille took me into the Dammann tea shop in Paris last summer. It was love at first sight. I especially love their peppermint and chamomile blends.”

“I love these traditional Berber lip stains, which leave a subtle wash of beautiful color. I’m half-North African and remember visiting my aunt who had one of the little pots.”

“I love the footwear from the Row, and more specifically their flat shoes. I imagine wearing these with silk socks and a wool skirt in the winter.”

“I have a green juice every morning—it makes me feel awake and vibrant. This is my favorite juicer. I’ve had the same one for six years now!”

“The best moisturizer for your lips as far as I’m concerned. It’s hard to beat the scent and quality. Plus, the packaging is so beautiful!”

“I’m on the hunt for a rug for my New York apartment. I love this one for its geometry and warmth.”

“I enjoy making lists—it helps me keep organized in my day-to-day. The Smythson planners are so beautiful. I also love that you can customize them with your initials.”

“These are my dream earrings. I love everything Prounis creates. The jewelry feels elegant, grounded, substantial, and considered.”

“Verve is an art publication I collect. My earliest issue dates back to 1925.”

“Our shop stocks a seasonal assortment of cashmere shawls pieced together from vintage sweaters. They are great for travel and everyday wear.”

“The Bode Opera Pump feels like the shoe that was photographed in Irving Penn’s infamous 1947 Theater Accident. I wear mine with black wool suits and silk stockings.”

“This Sonia Delaunay plate circa 1925 is deeply inspiring. The composition and colorway resonate with me.”

“All the Casa Bosques bars feature photographs from my recent travels, many taken on this beauty.”

“Chocolate making is a messy business.”

“I do struggle to sleep when traveling. This is truly helpful.”

“I discovered this collection of poems last summer and am constantly rereading it. I’m struck by something totally new and completely beautiful each time.”

“The epitome of a proper chocolate bark, full of slowly roasted jumbo organic cashews embedded in a 74% chocolate.

The best chocolates in the world.”

“A heavy and substantial rugby polo is a staple for me.”

“I always keep a wool throw on my bed in winter. This blue stripe Chatham was a quick favorite.”

“I’m constantly back and forth between New York, the Mexico City atelier, and our Pensión guest house. I’ve always hated carrying heavy things, and this case is so light and perfect!”

“I love this classic yet striking vest.”

“Growing up, I imagined all linen closets smelled like sandalwood. Whenever my mother would return from Kolkata, her suitcase would have bars of Mysore soap. I asked Farrar, Straus and Giroux to try to replicate the Mysore rose for my book’s title page.”

“I have a couple pairs of these loafers, which meet every pant length with approval. They are the most compatible shoe.”

“This book reads like a Filofax. Or like a catch-all with photos and letters and very funny anecdotes. There are memories of Anaïs Nin, Andy Warhol, Andrew Sarris, Joan Crawford, Maya Deren, and so many others. I love the parts that mention Jonas’s daughter, Oona.”

“A good small gift option that feels personal and uncomplicated. Playing solitaire with a deck that’s illustrated with a still life is so satisfying. This Picasso one is very playful.”

“I have tubes of this in every drawer, bag, and jacket pocket. It does the trick!”

“Fun, sharp, wonderfully sneaky and absorbing, Kincaid’s ‘Talk of the Town’ pieces are a clinic in tone and spirited accuracy. Her sensitivity to mannerisms makes for such a pleasing reading experience. I love a clear snapshot. I love a confessional mood that isn’t too profound.”

“I go on long walks with my son (in his stroller) every day. I’m never thinking about this bag when I wear it. Having one less thing to think about is my version of well-being.”

“The photographer Marcelo Gomes suggested I use this putty because it doesn’t leave a mark. I recently used my Tack-It to put Luigi Ghirri postcards on a wall in my son’s playroom.”

“These tumblers are the perfect size for sipping champagne with friends—and the silver keeps them cold longer. There’s absolutely nothing better than ice-cold champagne.”

“I first discovered Billecart years ago while staying at the Sunset Tower. It’s now my favorite and go-to champagne.”

“Day to day, if I don’t physically write it down, it’s very hard for me to remember.”

“I don’t cook, so my go-to at-home entertaining meal always includes caviar. Not the most practical, but it’s easy and there’s never a complaint…”

“I’ve had one of these toasters since college. Toast every morning. Toast on special evenings with caviar…”

“I love the Tree House candle. It’s musky and perfect.”

“This carry-on is the perfect size and can take a serious beating.”

“I wear these socks every day with boots or sneakers.”

“I love Katy Hessel and her podcast, The Great Women Artists. This is a nice book for anyone’s collection.”

“I’m really into a nice sparkle gloss on my lips this season. Hermès does it for me.”

“Holiday parties always call for a fun embellishment. Etsy is usually where I turn to for festive looks.”

“Checking the time inherently leads me to opening up my phone. I am trying to get better about not being on it so much throughout the day so as to have more quality time with work, amongst other things.”

“It’s important to have some vintage bottles in your house for those special evenings with friends and family. Life should be celebratory. My father’s heritage is Scottish, so I tend to like whiskey as a special treat.”

“If you can’t fit it in the folio we designed with Métier, you shouldn’t be bringing it to the office.”

“The only person in the world who could make riding the subway in the 70s look this glamorous is the great photographer Jonathan Becker.”

“My wife and kids think I’m nuts, but I can list more than four dozen uses for a handkerchief. These include handling a runny nose, service as a napkin when none is available, a tourniquet, a tool of surrender, and so forth. I haven’t left the house without one for more than fifty years.”

“Opening Amazon packages with scissors generally ends in tears. This is also good for keeping New York’s criminal element at bay.”

“The last word in men’s tailoring also happens to be the first word in dressing gowns. Add a suspiciously early cocktail, a jaunty smile, and you’re basically John Barrymore.”

“I generally don’t splash anything on my face, aside from water. But when I’m feeling particularly festive, I pull out the Eight & Bob—a gift from a friend. The story behind this cologne—a young J.F.K., the Côte d’Azur, bottles hid from Nazis in books—is almost as wonderful as the stuff itself.”
