2. GIFTS
Join our dear friend - and award-winning broadcaster - Alvin Hall on a journey through America’s haunted racial past, with the legendary Green Book as your guide. Alvin drove from New York to Detroit to New Orleans, visiting motels, restaurants, shops, and stores where Black Americans once found a friendly welcome. They explored landmarks along the way, gathering memories from some of the last living witnesses for whom the Green Book meant survival – remarkable people who not only endured but rose above the hate, building vibrant Black communities against incredible odds.
3. BEAUTY
Is this the perfect statement lipstick? We’re going out on a limb to say: “Yes ma’am!” Gulabi Gang hot pink by Tanais has just the right level of red undertones to make your lips rock. Inspired by the pink saris worn by the domestic violence survivor collective in India, $1 of each sale goes to Sakhi NYC, an organization that works with South Asian survivors of domestic violence in the city.
4. WELL-BEING
We’re calling this our probiotic lifesaver. Drink one of these bad boys before a night of drinking and it will remarkably smooth over the morning after. ZBiotics works by producing the same type of enzyme as your liver, helping to break down the excess alcohol the minute it hits your gut. You’ll thank us - we promise!
5. CANDLES
La Maison Privé’s 1969 candle burns with an intoxicating mix of tobacco, green bergamot, and ylang-ylang – a wonderfully magnificent blend of the masculine and the feminine. The calming effect impacts the mind, body, and soul as it relieves stress, anxiety, and even depression.
6. HOME GOODS
Our best-selling incense sticks from Montroi are back in stock for a limited time only. The Rose & Geranium Flashback is a dreamy, elegant scent that will fill your home with the fragrance of red roses. Handmade with precious oils in Jaipur, following an artisanal process that has been passed through generations, it will conjure up the gardens of the Palaces of the Rajasthan in India. Burn it inside or out.
7. ACCESSORIES
Mara Peralta has done it again, with this curb chain T-bone bracelet in stainless steel. Available in two sizes – it’s just the right amount of edgy rock ’n’ roll styling and low-key badass.
8. NEW WAVE
Paige Novick’s Soothe Gem Story Oil combines essential oils with precious crystals to help channel, focus and harness energy. Dab on your pulse points as part of a sacred ritual, or use as a light perfume and allow the energy to align with your own power.
9. FRAGRANCE
Ulrich Lang’s Lethe is unexpected, intriguing and addictive. Its name comes from the Greek mythological river, known for its potency to forget when the water is sipped. The fragrance opens up to the brightness of bergamot thoughtfully blended with the herbaceous scent of lavender providing calm and balance. Tantalizing notes of airy water lily and creamy cashmere woods anchor the perfume with an enveloping warmth.
10. ART
Skewville – an artist collective made up of twins Ad and Droo – have effectively made the crossover from street art to gallery walls, while retaining their strong, colorful, urbanized vibe. The Boombox series is made from wood and found materials – a New York classic remade for the 21st century.
“Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason.”
