Entire Studios Rondo Coat

"I recently acquired this stunning coat from Entire Studios, and it has proven to be an absolute lifesaver given the current weather conditions. On me, it extends all the way to the ground, enveloping me in a sensation akin to being wrapped in a plush wool duvet for ultimate comfort and warmth. What elevates it further is the robe-like silhouette, which adds an effortless chicness to any outfit." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor

The designs are impeccably sleek and timeless, pairing effortlessly with virtually any ensemble. The standout feature, especially for New Yorkers, is the ability to personalize your pair right at their SoHo location—adjusting everything from frame dimensions to nose bridge fit—for a bespoke feel that's truly unparalleled." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead

Dress To Brown Bossa Nova Suitcase

"Let me explain my reasoning here. With a packed travel schedule on the horizon, I took a hard look at my collection of luggage and realized how utterly mundane it all was. I'm not one for overdressing at the crack of dawn for airport runs, so why not let my baggage make a statement instead? Essential features like 360-degree spinner wheels are non-negotiable for any reliable carry-on, and I challenge you to reassess your own travel gear after seeing this standout option." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead

Vagabond Sky Tall Boots

"I'm that person who thrives on footwear that's delightfully out of season—think ballet flats during the depths of winter or hefty boots in the height of summer. I picked these up mainly envisioning them paired with dresses and skirts, though even layered with the heaviest tights, that's impractical amid New York City's current icy onslaught. Their slender profile captivates me, along with the subtle nod to the legendary Prada sport boot aesthetic. I've sported them on a few occasions already, but my mind is fixated on balmier days ahead when I can truly maximize their styling versatility." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor

As someone who adores jewelry versatile enough to wear nonstop—pairing flawlessly with every outfit imaginable—this one checks all the boxes. Its delicately dainty profile keeps it understated, yet the iconic interlocking Gs unmistakably proclaim Gucci's luxurious heritage." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor

Carta D'Armenia

"Winter strikes me as the ideal season to infuse your living space with a sacred, church-like aroma, and my not-so-secret weapon is these paper incense tabs from Santa Maria Novella. A savvy tip from a sales associate during my initial purchase years ago in Florence: fold them into a neat zigzag pattern to ensure they burn steadily and evenly for optimal fragrance dispersion." - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
