Palm Beach Objects of Obsession: Mood for Autumn

Objects of Obsession

1. Elie Tahari Chain Shift Dress

We may be dining outside and soaking up the sun, but it’s still the start of holiday time and festive dressing. Elie Tahari has opened a new store at the Gardens Mall, and this three-quarter sleeve, red crepe shift dress, available there, is a perfect seasonal choice. The asymmetric pleats and gold adornment at the neckline add interest and sparkle. thegardensmall.com

2. Antica Farmacista Tomato Vine Dish Soap

The company that gave us those beautiful bottles that made our bathrooms guest-worthy, has expanded its offerings to the kitchen. A fragrant blend of basil, cut grass, tomatoes, Meyer lemon and peach goes into the plant-derived, biodegradable product, which has a like-scented counter cleanser. Not only is it stylish, but it’s definitely preferable to using chemicals on your plates and silverware. anticafarmacista.com

3. Myolift QT Plus Facial Toning Device

Exercising your face can help with toning, the way working out your body does, and many people visit estheticians, like those at Paul Labrecque salon, who use microcurrent machines to stimulate facial muscles. 7E Wellness makes this pocket-sized version that has its own smart app to lift, along with encouraging collagen production. It’s light enough to throw in any carry-on. 7ewellness.com

4. Greats Royal 2.0

White court shoes have become the ultimate comfy footwear for everything from shorts to floral dresses, and this sneaker under the Steve Madden umbrella is catching on like wildfire. The quality, ethically made brand has been seen on the Surf Lodge staff in Montauk this past summer, and on a slew of celebs including Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Tina Fey, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jon Hamm. Greats may be based in Brooklyn, but they fit right in here. greats.com

5. M Gemi Elana Grand Tote

A classic and incredibly versatile, naturally tumbled calf leather bag, hand stitched in Italy, the Elana is elegant enough to carry to dinner, but roomy enough to hold a laptop. Two easy-to-open pockets and an interior zippered one, along with a magnetic closure keeps items secure, and a water resistant spray protects it from water damage. Choose a celebratory bold red or more subtle latte or mushroom (pictured). mgemi.com

6. Love Binetti Reine Cardigan

It’s always wise to bring along a wrap or cardigan to warm your shoulders in an air-conditioned room, and this hand-knitted sweater, made of 100% wool, is a definite statement piece. It’s just many of the beautiful, bold pieces available at designer Diego Binetti’s new store on Worth Avenue. diegobinetti.com

Now that’s what we call holiday spirit! flaviar.com

8. Skin Tayla Cami and tk Terri Pant

The work-from-home culture gave pajamas a boost, and the top and wide pants in evening blue are so elegant they can be accessorized and worn out.
