1. Cashmere
“On the body or on the bed. Cortland Park Cashmere sweaters and Cashmere Wrapping throws are definitely worth the splurge,” says Hargrove.
2. Anything Animal Print
“Leopard, giraffe, zebra, or antelope. If it’s spotted or striped, I’m all over it.”
3. Simon Pearce Glassware
“Hurricanes, wineglasses, whatever. His creations add sparkle to any space.”
4. “In The Glen” Candle By We Took To The Woods
“The handsome bark-covered container is almost as fine as the woody fragrance inside.”
5. Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick In Corail Signature (#317)
“It’s a happy, peachy color that reminds me of the strié velvet pillows in my living room.”
6. Bourbon Walnut Banana Bread From The Chocolate Heaven Company
“I buy the loaves straight from the oven and by the dozen from the bakery in Highlands [North Carolina]. If we don’t eat them all first, our friends will graciously accept the leftovers.”
7. The Color Camel
“It’s the neutral that’s not.”
8. Fresh-Picked Foliage
“In the fall, I clip soaring oak branches from our tree out back. I love it when the acorns are still attached. Just toss them in a tall, sleek vessel and you’ve got natural sculpture.”
