Shop her picks and give these New Jersey small businesses a little love.
1. WHAT I’M DECORATING WITH
Smoke Coupe Glasses from Nest | ”Home goods store Nest carries the loveliest pieces to outfit your house. Right now I’m loving these chic glasses and they’ll be a mainstay when throwing soirees this spring.”
2. WHAT I’M USING
The Travel Comforter/Pillow from Down to Basics | “This convertible fluffy down comforter is perfect to keep you cozy on frigid airplane and car rides. Plus, you get all the comforts of home while on the go. It folds into the perfect little pillow if you just need a place to rest your head. So clever and useful!”
3. WHAT I’M WEARING
Jade II Cycling Shoes from Highlander Bicycle Co. | “I’m an avid cyclist and I adore this new bike store in Atlantic Highlands with a fantastic online shop. They have a great collection of e-bikes, mountain, road, and cruisers for men, women, and kids, and a curated selection of cycling shoes, clothes, and gifts. If you’re into cycling, it’s hard not to purchase something from this awesome shop.”
4. WHAT I’M DRINKING
(Notorious) F.I.G. at the St. Laurent Social Club | “There is nothing better than hanging out at the St. Laurent Social Club with one of their delicious, creative cocktails in hand. The (Notorious) F.I.G.—made with pisco, vodka, amontillado fig, club soda, and lemon thyme foam–is cocktail I’m loving right now. I recommend a visit if you’re in the area.”
5. WHAT I’M GIFTING
Maison Millais Fragrances | “I adore these gorgeous perfumes that are an ode to the spirit of NYC. Not only do they smell amazing, but the packaging is stunning, which makes them a special little gift to give.”
6. WHAT I’M LISTENING TO
Vacations | “Sunny vibes and groovy tunes, the Australian band Vacations will be the soundtrack to my summer.”
7. WHAT I’M SPORTING
DITA Lancier Navigator Sunglasses + Salt from Dune + Salt | “Dune + Salt is known for their super cute shoe selection, but they also see the best sunglasses. I’m loving these right now because they are so timeless. I know I will wear them for years to come.”
