“These crystal pillboxes are a fun way to store mini things—like gum, mints, or actual pills—on the go.”—Nora Milch, Associate Accessories Editor

“I never thought I would say this, but I’ve become a Dockers fan. The Alpha khakis, launched last fall, have a slim, polished cut and a lower waist, which means they look sleek and dressed-up but feel like jeans. The line is updated for spring with lighter, sportier colors—there’s even a camouflage print!”—Armand Limnander, Deputy Editor

“One taste of Pie Corps’s Chocolate Pudding Pie with rosemary caramel and I melt like the snow in April. Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth, the savory pies are worth the splurge.”—Amy Fritch, Production Director

“When it comes to shoes, my motto is, The higher the better. I’ve been dreaming about these Mulberry platform wedges since I laid eyes on them.”—Claudia Mata, Executive Accessories and Jewelry Editor

“This book is like a 286-page gossip column from Hollywood’s golden age—it names all the names and spills all the secrets. Bowers was a bisexual pro bono pimp and free-love advocate far ahead of his time who claimed Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Edith Piaf, and the Duke of Windsor (to mention just a few) as lovers—and arranged sexual liaisons or generally got up to no good with a host of others, including Vincent Price, Noël Coward, James Dean, and J. Edgar Hoover. Nota bene: not a read for those who blush easily.”—Corey Seymour, Senior Articles Editor

“Macho, debonair, ‘catnip to women’—all perfectly describe Gary Cooper, whose Old Hollywood elegance is celebrated in this new book.”—Timothy McCahill, Research Editor

“For the month of February, I recommend tequila: this really smooth DeLeón Diamante, to be exact. Why February? I could give you a reason—Valentine’s Day comes to mind—but I just really like tequila.”—Fan Zhong, Associate Editor

“Of all of Canada Goose’s new offerings, I am swooning over this parka. I love that it’s belted, and instead of classic Gore-Tex fabric, it’s made in wool—Loro Piana wool.”—Jane Larkworthy, Beauty Director

“one of america’s grandest hotels, Starwood’s Equinox resort serves as the setting for a short film by director luca guadagnino and man about town Waris Ahluwalia. Go to wmag.com/video to see it first.”—Maura Egan, Features Director

“Michael Saiger makes the best men’s bracelets, and now they can be personalized. This is their updated version of an ID bracelet on a grosgrain band.”—William Kahn, Accessories Editor

“After the spring runway shows, I am still wanting one of Theyskens’ Theory fresh and updated tweed jackets to wear with just about everything in my closet.”—Lindsey Frugier, Market Editor

“Newbark flats are my go-to shoes for all activities that necessitate maximum comfort. Wrap up a pair of these new heart-shaped cut-out styles (I’m partial to the snakeskin ones) with a box of bon bons, and you’ve got, in my opinion, the perfect Valentine’s gift.” —Karin Nelson, Features Editor
