The Shoes & Socks
“There is something incredibly demure and sexy about these shoes from Nou. I genuinely believe that Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield would have loved the design. I do, too—they look incredible with a fuzzy sweater, bullet bra, and tight pair of black pants.
I live on a plane—in a really unglamorous, long-distance-relationship sort of way. These socks save my legs from feeling weird, tingly, and bloated. Also, they’re much cuter than other ones I’ve found online, so I’m never embarrassed to flash my ankles with them on.” —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty & wellness editor
The Mother-Daughter Wardrobes
“I’ve reached a point where buying something for myself without buying something for my baby feels almost… incorrect. She’s five months old, and already better dressed than I am. This month’s indulgence: a butter-yellow hand-smocked set from La Coqueta’s collaboration with Nicky Hilton. It has that perfect, heirloom-y sweetness—something you imagine being passed down, not outgrown—and I realized her wardrobe was severely lacking in yellow. A gap I’ve now filled.
Meanwhile, I’m deep in what can only be described as a matador phase. Tassels, braiding, frog closures—if it looks like it belongs in a Pedro Almodóvar film, I want it. I picked up a cropped bolero along these lines (mine is Mary McFadden, though this Oscar de la Renta version is dangerously good). It’s the kind of piece that does all the work for you—throw it on, and suddenly you have a point of view. And then, a bag for this strange, in-between season: not quite spring (in temperature!), not quite summer. I’ve been carrying a Polène Nano in textured burgundy—structured, unfussy, and just serious enough to balance out everything else I’m wearing.” —Lilah Ramzi, contributing editor
