Corniche Heritage 40 Rose Gold
Timeless with a twist, Corniche’s Heritage 40 Rose Gold watch is primed for family heirloom status. The white ceramic face and crocodile pattern strap keeps it classic, but the cyan and black hands put it ahead of its time. It’s waterproof too, making it the ultimate accessory for a trip to the source of its inspiration: the Côte d’Azur. Available at Corniche, priced €325.
Gone With The Mind by Mark Leyner
He might have been in his heyday when the Spice Girls were just hitting their stride, but Mark Leyner is as good as ever in his mostly autobiographical novel. Circuitous on a level maybe only matched by Catch-22, it’s a maddening, brilliant work that, like no other great novel, takes place in a shopping mall food court. Available at Amazon, priced £17.53.
Sandqvist Sonja Backpack
Pantone (and every SS16 show from Burberry to Jil Sander) are placing their bets on pastels. It’s not Serenity or Rose Quartz (2016’s Colour of the Year), but this sage green roll-over backpack from Sandqvist brings a masculine edge to the sometimes too tender colour palette. Constructed in canvas with leather straps, it’s got room for all your warm-weather gear as well as a laptop and iPad sleeve for those indoor kids. Available at Sandqvist, priced £108.60.
Dr. Martens Church Boot
Punk meets prep with these monkey boots from Dr. Martens. Made from water-resistant suede, you won’t have to watch your feet in any spring showers. They feature a thick, air cushion sole and are Goodyear-welted which means they’ll last years. Handy, because DMs aren’t going out of style anytime soon. Available at Dr. Martens, priced £105.
West Elm Valet Bar Cart
You can have it shaken or stirred when you’re in charge of the bar. This vintage-inspired bar cart is fabricated from antique brass and features two levels of mirrored glass shelves. With locking wheels, it can be happy hour anytime and anywhere in speakeasy style. Available at West Elm, priced £399.
B&O PLAY BeoPlay A6 Speaker
This five-channel speaker is completely wireless and remote-less, so the only thing you need to keep track of is your playlist. Perfect for the man who’d rather not ruin his minimalist décor with cables, you can link several together wirelessly but still have different sounds playing in every room. So you won’t have to find a middle ground between The Beatles and Miley. Available at Amazon, priced £800.
Valentino Eagle Satin Bomber Jacket
This season’s must-have piece is the sukajan, or souvenir jacket. And Valentino just released the only one that matters. The satin bomber includes ribbed trims and collar, along with a plush, quilted interior. Small birds adorn the chest while a large one takes up most of the back panel. We bet Ben Affleck is wishing he went with this instead of that tattoo. Available at Harrods, priced £1,650.
Medicom Toy 400% Andy Warhol Be@rbrick
You’ll find Be@rbrick figurines on fashion’s most creative desks. Karl Lagerfeld and Vivienne Westwood have designed their own versions of the Japanese miniatures, which is all the co-sign we need. This version is created in Andy Warhol’s likeness – but a little more animal – for a toy that moonlights as a unique home accessory. It’s only available for a limited time, so grab one now if you can’t bear (yup) to miss out on releasing your inner child. Available at Farfetch, priced approximately £110.53 ($160).
