'I can imagine myself wearing [this bracelet] every evening to dinner — not during the day. I wear silver during the day, because I’m a brunette,' explains Lynn B. Goddess
Photo: Portraits by Kyle Dorosz/Products courtesy of the vendors In August, for the magazine’s Look Book, I interviewed a gaggle of women of a certain ilk while they shopped at Zitomer, the nearly 70-year-old Upper East Side pharmacy where you can fill a prescription, and purchase a tube of French gillyflower toothpaste, a $1,592 lighted mirror, and an Agnès B.
raincoat. Since the ladies we spoke to were very particular about their likes and dislikes we decided to circle back to see what they’d most want to receive this holiday season. Wynell Schrenk Photo: Kyle Dorosz David Webb Geodesic Dome Ring “I have been obsessed with David Webb since the late ’60s; I was exposed to him by an incredibly chic friend’s mother, who was a major collector. He was the jeweler of the very soigné, very glamorous “Ladies Who Lunch” era, from Gloria Guinness to Lee Radziwill. This ring was inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic Dome at Black Rock Mountain College. Domes are so 1960s, so retro, but still so modern.” $62,000 at David Webb Buy Lynn B. Goddess Photo: Kyle Dorosz Tiffany T Square Bracelet “I’d love a Tiffany T bracelet. In extra small, of course. It’s a simple, unpretentious bracelet. I can imagine myself wearing it every evening to dinner — not during the day. I wear silver during the day, because I’m a brunette. But I’m really into gold or platinum in the evening right now.” $5,200 at Tiffany & Co. Buy Sur La Table Marble Serving Board $20 “I’d also love a marble serving board, for cheese, because cheese looks really good on marble. Plus, marble doesn’t retain odors. I love to have a selection of cheeses in the house: Brie, goat cheese, Saint-André. My favorite is so fattening, I wouldn’t dare tell you what it is.” $20 at Sur La Table Buy Shirley Sacks Photo: Kyle Dorosz Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra Earrings, Four Motifs “I would like to receive Van Cleef & Arpels’s Magic Alhambra earrings. It’s my birthday on the 29th of December, right after the holidays, and my ex-husband always gets me a gift. He says, “What would you like?” I always say, “I’ll give you a list from expensive to cheap: Van Cleef to Hermès perfume.” I generally get the perfume. Last year, he was good. He got me a computer. I normally don’t like jewelry where you can clearly tell which designer made it, but I just love Van Cleef & Arpels. These are so beautiful, so subtle. Subtly beautiful.” $10,800 at Van Cleef & Arpels Buy Trudy Selib Photo: Kyle Dorosz Capezio Women's Tap Shoes “When you reach my age, 73, there’s very few material objects that you want. But I’m thinking about retiring in the next few years, and I imagine it would be nice to take tap-dancing lessons. I took them for years as a child and as a teenager. And getting the shoes, I think, would be a good impetus to start a class. I don’t think I’m making a career out of this — my aspiration is not to become a Rockette — but you never know.” $57 at Amazon Buy $57 at Amazon Buy Lynne Davis Photo: Kyle Dorosz Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Leopard Print Flared Pants $867 “I was looking for something for my nephew’s wedding in Mexico and ultimately went with a Dolce & Gabbana satin dress, as the weather at the venue was super hot. For the colder weather, I think a pair of Dolce & Gabbana’s leopard-print pants would be perfect! They are absolutely gorgeous. And sexy!” $867 at Orchard Mile Buy Nancy Seltzer Photo: Kyle Dorosz Williams Sonoma Pumpkin Spice Hand Lotion $8 “It’s the holidays in a bottle! Williams Sonoma has all these great, really of-the-season scents. The pumpkin, in particular, is wonderfully spicy. I give it as a gift to everyone I know.” $8 at Williams Sonoma Buy Delphine Hibon Photo: Kyle Dorosz Mark Cross Grace Top-Handle Leather Belt Bag “This was apparently inspired by the vintage suitcase Grace Kelly carries in Rear Window, which is one of my favorite movies. It’s so modern, and practical, and comes in both fun and classic colors.” $2,490 at Matches Fashion Buy The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
