May’s Most Wanted

“Venice Beach has always been one of my favorite neighborhoods in L.A., and now that the Erwin has been renovated, I have a cool base for checking out the new restaurants and galleries on Abbot Kinney Boulevard. I love the rooftop bar with its incredible sunset views of the ocean.”—Armand Limnander, Deputy Editor

“I’m a big fan of minimal jewelry, so this collection seemed made for me. Most of the pieces are gold-plated silver, and some have touches of acrylic. This bell-adorned bracelet looks like it could actually ring.”—Tina Huynh, Jewelry Assistant

“Maslin & Co took inspiration from luxury hides to create chic beach towels in various animal prints and colors. I plan to tote mine around on all my beach and park excursions this summer.”—Sam Milner, Senior Market Editor and Manager

“Dedon just unveiled this colorful outdoor chair at the Milan furniture fair. Stephen Burks’s worldly, handcrafted aesthetic together with Dedon’s signature large-scale weave is a match made in heaven.”—Virginia VanZanten, Associate Editor

“A sandal like this is a summer essential for me. I love this version in snakeskin.”—Karla Martinez, Fashion Market and Accessories Director

“A wonderful combination of things I adore: a mix of neutral shades (15 total), minimal shimmer, and white packaging, which is such a nice change from the usual black.”—Jane Larkworthy, Beauty Director

“I’ve always coveted Roland Mouret’s clothing. And now that, as Robert Clergerie’s creative director, he’s debuting his first shoe collection—which features forties-inspired styles like this one—I have a new reason to be obsessed.”—Claudia Mata, Jewelry and Accessories Director

“Count me among the legions of guys who have fallen for the unstructured elegance of Boglioli’s suits. This one looks like it would work as well at the office as it would for a night out.”—Timothy McCahill, Research Editor

“Coach teamed up with the English expat artist James Nares for this canvas tote. It’s really versatile: Great for the beach, but it still has that art-world street cred.”—William Kahn, Accessories Editor

“For aesthetes visiting Tokyo, the Claska is the hotel. designers like Kayo Sato and Norihiko Terayama have curated special guest rooms—but even if you can’t spend the night, a trip to the shop is a must.”—Bifen Xu, Editorial Photo Producer
