We’re putting this one on our wish list. Think of it as a mini version of the classic PS1 satchel. It’s very practical and the perfect size to take out to dinner or for a nice walk along the Seine. It comes in a few different leathers but we love the navy suede with the antique gold metal hardware.
Miette is one of our favorite bakeries. They are only located in San Francisco (although you can now order some cookies and confections online – yeah, it’s that good). Our favorite thing to get is the lavender shortbread cookies (pictured above). You can also attempt to recreate the deliciousness at home with their cookbook!
Moleskine hands down makes the best planners. They are clean and simple on the inside with lots of room to write in all your daily activities. The iconic black outside cover wont clash with your purse or bag and it seems to look better with age (I’ve had mine for over a year and it still looks great!). You cant go wrong with this planner!
Marc Jacobs signature Gardenia Perfume is one of our all-time favorites. It’s classic, feminine, clean, and not too strong. We love it even more in a rollerball because it’s the perfect size to keep in our purse and travel with so we are never without our favorite scent!
This is the perfect pullover sweater for winter. It’s thick enough to keep you warm on its own and thin enough to layer under a coat. We love the slightly boxy silhouette (so comfortable!) and the stitch ribbing. The oatmeal color is our favorite but it’s also available in dark brown and black!
The most classic and chic iPad accessory I’ve ever seen. Beautiful in both black and praline, this member from the Céline Winter 2011 Collection is officially on the top of my wish list. Done so simple and so clean, the gold accents are really the cherry on top. Wow. Just wow…
We are in love with Victoria Beckham’s AW/11 Duffle bag. So beautifully sharp and chic, with the perfect amount of slouch and give. The pale gold hardware finishes the black leather and simple silhouette perfectly. A new modern classic that’s perfectly effortless.
The coziest indulgence for your winter! These Brora Cashmere Bed Socks come to us from Sofia Coppola’s list of essentials (love her!). They are super soft and keep your feet comfortably toasty. Best with a cup of Williams Sonoma Hot Chocolate in hand by the fireplace. Available in four perfectly neutral colors: Cream, Periwinkle, Pigeon, and Gray (Silver).
We absolutely love the classic Chanel N°5 Body Lotion. So luxurious and timeless, this body lotion goes on sheer and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Smoother than the EDT, the scent is still strong, but oh-so elegant. Stay subtle and skip the extra layer of N°5, as this body lotion is already made perfect for the evening!
One of my favorite places to eat in LA. The food is so good and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Subway tiling, marble floors, and gold accents all around, how could you not be in love? That being said, one of my favorites (pictured above) is their Portobello Fries. Nom. So creative and so tasty! The Trenne Pasta and Burrata Pizza are also to die for, as are their macaroons (vanilla is my favorite and unfortunately everyone else’s; the waiter told me they’re usually all sold out of vanilla before dinner).
This is the perfect LBD. It’s understated and classic. What I love about this dress is that it’s comfortable (made of stretch jersey!) and you can literally where it anywhere. (Warning: You may be mistaken for Sofia Coppola while wearing this dress.)
The best hair brush and a well-known classic. I’ve owned this brush for years and love it. No split ends, breaks, pulls, or tugging involved. The nylon and boar bristles massage your scalp and bring out the natural oils in your hair, leaving your hair feeling clean, smooth and fabulous. Brushing your hair seriously never felt so good. This is timeless and worth the investment.
This smart classic is a wardrobe staple. We love the clean single breast pocket (Two sometimes overdoes it) and how effortless this shirt looks with the sleeves rolled up. Working girl, tomboy, and first-class chic all-in-one. Also sported by Gia Coppola in the latest issue of Elle. We love her!
In a perfect world, I would own the Pista Via Brera and bike religiously. With “milk and coffee” coloring and a classic frame, there isn’t much more you could ask for. Except for maybe 8 bike locks to prevent theft. Let’s be honest, I wouldn’t blame the thief.
‘The Stripper to Go’ by Deborah Lippmann…We love these lavender nail lacquer removers just as much as we love the scandalous title. Perfect for travel or on-the-go emergencies, one mitt really does do the trick for both hands. It is also needless to say that we love the fresh scent of lavender (much more than the acetic smell of regular nail polish remover).
‘Pefection’ Intense Nail Lacquer by Dolce & Gabana really is the most perfect nude nail polish. So clean and polished, ‘Pefection’ has a creamy finish and is best after a double coat (for optimal opaque-ness). We especially love the thick (and might we add, lasting) coat per stroke given to us by Dolce & Gabana in this (also, very perfect) gold-capped bottle.
Who doesn’t love getting mail? And who doesn’t love Gregory Peck? This Peck-portrait is a featured Atticus-still from (one of my favorite’s) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). Forever equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate, these stamps are just as timeless as Gregory Peck himself!
Sporty, compact, and oh so classic. This Germany-made fountain pen is “small in the pocket, great in the hand”. We love the white body and gold plated stainless steel nib. And as our mothers remind us, there is nothing like a hand-written letter! So true.
Bringing the radio back in iconic retro style, the Roberts Revival Radio is at the top of our wish list! The classic styling combined with gold accents and a pastel cream leather finish is almost too much to handle…So simply beautiful, this radio puts just about every CD player and iPod dock to shame. All topped off with an amber-backlit LCD display…Enough to make you melt inside.
The perfect umbrella. A Guy de Jean model designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, this umbrella is absolutely timeless. With a classic handle and stripes to complement the perfect silhouette, rainy days now have this Parisian chic perk!
One of our new favorite finds! After cruising the aisles of Whole Foods (one of our favorite activities), we stumbled upon these beauties and had to taste-test them for ourselves. We bought sample size packets of each nut butter and fell in love with Justin’s Honey Almond Butter and Chocolate Almond Butter. Yum!
These faux-bois placemats are so clean and versatile. We love the Chilewich take on faux bois, especially with a classic white place setting on top. Easy to clean, durable, and perfect inside or out.
I think Avène’s Eau Thermale is the secret behind French women’s flawless skin. After using it for a few months my skin felt softer and was less red and irritated. I even know doctors in my area who use it on patients. (I also hear that Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan….)
The perfect lacquer tray for the living room table, vanity, or bathroom counter. Clean lines and a white lacquer finish would frame a stack of coffee table books and bouquet of peonies (in a white vase) oh-so-nicely. Line up your best fragrances in the tray and for a clean and fresh look too. “Trays Chic!”
Whoever made up the saying, “it’s the inside that counts”, obviously didn’t know about Tom Ford’s Private Blend Lip Color. No matter how many great things I hear about this lipstick, I would still buy it just because it would look awesome on a clear lacquer tray in my bathroom.
