October’s Most Wanted
“This 18-karat rose gold and ceramic watch, with its classic face and a rubber strap, is timeless and sporty.” —William Kahn Accessories Editor
“I want to go for head-to-toe glamour this fall—literally— and these crystal ankle-strap pumps definitely fit the bill.” —Claudia Mata Jewelry and Accessories Director
“The French jeweler has just opened a beautiful boutique on the Upper East Side, and there are few things quite as exhilarating as trying on her candy-colored designs—like these 22-karat gold and tourmaline earrings—while perched on one of the shop’s Napoleon III chairs.” —Virginia VanZanten Associate Editor
“Nest’s new Fine Fragrance collection smells as great as it looks—the best of the three is Passiflora, a fresh mix of water hyacinth, lily of the valley, and passionflower.” —Jane Larkworthy Beauty Director
“This former motel from the thirties has been revamped and turned into a zenlike oasis. It’s my favorite place to stay when I’m in Austin, Texas. I’m sometimes tempted to make the trip just for the delicious Micheladas served at the bar!” —Sarah Kalagvano Assistant Art and Photo Editor
“Since I discovered the London-based line this summer, I’ve been obsessed with its geometric pieces. This chunky 24-karat gold-plate and resin ring is a much edgier option than your standard cocktail ring.” —Tina Huynh Jewelry Assistant
“Oliver Peoples rarely strays far from the preppy eyewear it’s known for. In fact, this frame—an archival style produced for the first time for the brand’s 25th anniversary— is about as wild as it gets. Crafted from tiger’s-eye-colored acetate and accented with 18k white gold hardware, they are also about as elegant as glasses get.” —Karin Nelson Features Editor
“It’s almost hard to believe that this delicate-looking lace is actually metal.” —Nora Milch Associate Accessories Editor
“The masculine-feminine trend is one of my favorites this season. I love the pairing of this oversize wool coat with the delicate cotton slip dress.” —Lacey Lennon Fashion Assistant
