The Strict List: #04
In this week's Strict List: 14 goods on my Valentine's day gift guide, 9 nyc hot spots i'm headed to next, and a guide to 19 self care treatments across the city to treat yourself to (or gift!) xo
What I’m Obsessing Over: Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Olympia Le-Tan Book Clutch: This is such a special gift. Definitely expensive, but one of the coolest pieces I’ve seen and a forever wishlist item. Would be cool to gift their favorite book, city, artist, or can’t go wrong with this heart one!
Le Creuset Heart Cocotte: I mean self explanatory. This is the cutest thing ever. Esp if they love to cook!!
Skims Boyfriend Collection: My fav skims collection ever. I live in my cherry blossom tee and boxers and they finally restocked!
Lunya Washable Silk: This is another great luxe feeling PJ set, but I think their sleep masks are the best in the game. So fluffy and fabulous!
Lizzie Fortunato Jewelry: My current fixation. I love this initial necklace I saw on Hadley Greene (such a good follow!!) and have been loving all the earrings from here too.
Dorsey Jewelry: Lab grown tennis necklaces, earrings, and bracelets!!! A very luxe gift while still more affordable and sustainable! Tippy top of z list ;)
Sophie Bille Brahe Jewelry Box: Annnddd bonus points if a you put a little jewelry gift in a stunning box!!! This brand makes the most stunning velvet ones with Liberty London fabric (i mean…)
Jelly Cat (!!!): Simply yes. The cutest ever. The heart is to die for. Also love my cherries and the croissants are so good.
Red Leather Gloves: Leandra shared these cashmere lined ones ($52!) in her latest substack and it was an instant save. Soooo chic and maybe something you wouldn’t get for yourself but would elevate every look this winter.
Cozyland PJs: Cutest PJs i own and SOOOO cozy. I have the little hearts (and they just restocked) but also love the cherry (you can also customize!!!) - use code DENNA15!
By Lydia Big Boy Cushion: This is my top decor item I want for my bedroom. Comes in the dreamiest colors (you should follow for decor inspo generally too)
Laetitia Rouget: I have shared this home brand before, but it is simply EVERYTHING. I picked this mug and little trinket ceramic thingy for this guide but you already know how I feel about the plates…
Diptyque Valentines Day Collection: I also already shared this. But too cute I had to share again now that is in stock online and in store. It’s a need.
and flowers ofc <3 — If you are in NYC, you have to reach out to Homegrown Umami. She has the coolest flower workshops and makes the most stunning custom arrangements. You can also grab a bouquet at Plant Shed in West Village or order some stunning peonies. If you are in LA, check out ima.floral!!
What’s Hot Rn:
Happier Grocery Smoothie: NEED. to try the strawberry matcha smoothie (closest to erewhon we can get..)
Golden Diner: pancakes + such an incredible unique asian inspired diner menu.
