On Ms. Spade's 20th anniversary

In the spirit of Kate Spade's latest book, "Things We Love," wherein the designer lists down the many beautiful things that inspire her and her brand, here are the things I love. 

Like the infallibly stylish Kate Spade I like to fill my every day with things of beauty. The monotony of daily life can be incredibly stifling—beautiful things, despite their temporariness and putative superficiality, remind me of my humanity. And so every time I am feeling down, I seek respite in the things I love: pretty pink flowers, watercolor illustrations, pink tea, a book by the beach, my mini Eiffel Tower, Sofia Coppola’s white wine in a pretty can, fragrant organic lavender soap, and an outdoor screening of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” among others.  Lovely things make life worth living.
