items The clothes, objects, interiors and travel upgrades I’d buy immediately if “is this financially responsible?” stopped being part of the decision. Equal parts beautiful, ridiculous and completely worth wanting.

Home, But Better
Closet Expansion
Clothes, shoes, bags and accessories I’d absolutely make room for.
This is barely a bag and more like a tiny piece of jewelry you happen to carry. The sculptural fig shape is so good, and the leaf bracelet handle makes the whole thing feel like an object you’d build an outfit around rather than just an accessory.
Cult Gaia Fico Sculptural Fig Wristlet
The silk + feather trim is doing exactly enough. It’s soft and pretty without being precious, and the shape makes it feel like something you’d actually wear instead of a one-night-only party top.
STAUD Avi Silk Feather-Trim Top
This is basically wearable sculpture. The oversized floral texture and bold color make it feel like the whole outfit rather than just the bag, which is exactly why I love it.
Cult Gaia Florence Flowers Clutch
Objects of Desire
Beautiful, weird, sculptural things I don’t necessarily need but cannot stop thinking about.
This is the kind of vase that doesn’t need flowers to earn its spot. The portrait shape makes it feel more like sculpture than decor, and I love anything that can make a shelf or table feel instantly more collected.
Portrait Porcelain Vase
Home, But Better
Furniture, lighting, decor and upgrades that would make my home look exactly how it does in my head.
A photo frame should absolutely be allowed to have this much personality. The powder-blue check is playful without feeling childish, and it’s the kind of little object that makes a shelf or nightstand feel actually styled.
Sky Check 4" x 6" Photo Frame
This is exactly the kind of coffee-table book I’d actually want out. Diana’s style is endlessly good, the leather-bound edition makes it feel like an object instead of just a book, and the photos alone make it worth flipping through.
"Icons of Style: Diana" Leather-Bound Book by Glenys Johnson
A mug that comes with its own artist palette saucer and tiny paintbrush spoon? Completely unnecessary, completely perfect. The hand-painted colors and Courtly Check make coffee feel like a whole little production.
Artist Palette 3-Piece Mug & Saucer Set
A side table that also holds the umbrella is already smart, but obviously I like it more because it looks like this. The hand-painted Rosy Check makes it feel like actual furniture instead of patio equipment, and I love anything that makes an outdoor...
Outdoor Rosy Umbrella Stand Side Table
I actually have this kettle and love it. The variable temperature settings are genuinely useful, it heats fast, and it’s one of those rare countertop appliances that I’m happy to leave out because it looks this good. I have it in the blue but I like ...
Retro Variable Temperature Kettle
This is the kind of art that could make an entire room feel finished. I love the color, the scale, and that it’s hand-embellished so it has more texture and presence than a flat print. It feels bright and expensive without being boring.
"Something Beautiful" Hand-Embellished Giclee by Marti Leroux
I have this toaster in pastel pink and love it. It’s one of those appliances that does the boring job perfectly but still makes the kitchen look better just by being there. The color is so good in person, and I’d buy it again purely because I never g...
50's Style Retro 2-Slice Toaster
This looks like a little glowing sculpture more than a lamp, which is exactly why I like it. The cloud shape is playful without feeling childish, and it’s the kind of piece that would make a corner of a room instantly more interesting.
Cloud Table Lamp
This is the kind of bedding that makes me want to redo the entire room around it. The blue stripe feels crisp and a little hotel-y, but still relaxed enough that I wouldn’t get sick of it in six months.
Ticking Stripe Duvet Cover Set, King/California King
If I’m committing to the duvet, I’m committing to the bit. The matching blue stripe sheets make the whole bed feel intentional instead of “I bought one cute thing and hoped for the best.” 500-thread-count cotton also makes this one feel like an actua...
Sketched Stripe 500 Thread Count Sheet Set, King
