Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
Spiral Torque Necklace
"Did I ever tell you the story of the Belperron ring that got away? It was white chalcedony with a spinel at the center, an original that happened to fit me perfectly. I thought I couldn’t possibly and now it would be about five times the price. The perennial allure of Belperron for me is the fierce design but also the glorious fierceness of the woman herself. If you don’t know her story, look it up, and then I bet you too will wish for a piece like this. "— Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief
The LYMA Laser
"'Tis the season for splurging, and ever since I read our Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director Roxanne Adamiyatt's rave reviewof this at-home laser, it's been on my list—when better to indulge?" —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
Coffee Tree
"Want to make me happy? Send me a plant. Plantogram's potted pretties are abundantly healthy and adorably packaged—and the company ensures that a tree is planted via Trees for the Future for each one purchased, so it's a gift that keeps on giving." —April Long, Beauty Director
Kiki & Herb - O Come Let Us Adore Them
"The second I read a post from T&C contributor Mike Albo about Kiki & Herb's Christmas tour—'Incredible, eclectic, as twisted as ever'—I knew I had to go see them again. Mike has been watching these two OGs, Justin Vivian Bond and Ken Mellman, since they performed both an early and a late show at Flamingo East. Having missed those legendarily raucous performances, I tore through their immortal 2005 live album 'Kiki and Herb Will Die for You: Live at Carnegie Hall,' and later saw their triumphant return to Joe's Pub in 2016—at the time, I assigned T. Cole Rachel to write about their reunion for W, as lovely a tribute today as then. The throughline for us is that we all worship at the church of these immense, once-in-a-lifetime, only-in-New-York talents. Tonight is the last night in New York, at Town Hall, of their now annual Christmas tour, but they're on the road with 'O Let Us Adore Them' through December 16, when they wrap up in Los Angeles. If you can't make the tour, they've released an LP, 'Do You Hear What We Hear,' and Bond is also doing a residency at Joe's Pub, December 19 through January 7." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
Grand Soir Eau de Parfum
"It's hard to pick just one favorite Maison Francis Kurkdjian scent (Baccarat Rouge! Gentle Fluidity Silver! Aqua Media!) but I've been hoarding up a sample of this warm, wintery tonka bean and amber version that I'd love to make my scent for the season." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
Bommy Puffer in Red
"I have been eyeing this bright red Sandy Liang puffer coat for MONTHS. Is it too early to buy it for myself as a Christmas present??" —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor
Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag
"This Gucci Horsebit bag has been on my list for years. That it's a tried & true staple chez T&C has only compounded my FOMO! Will this be the year Santa finally answers my prayers?" —Leena Kim, Editor
'Abalone Siren's Sconce' with Natural Seashell Shade — Model No. 022
"The writer and artist Chris Tennant is best known for upcycled floor lamps and taxidermied dioramas, which were the subject not so long ago of an exhibit at the Vanderbilt Museum, surely one of the more curious destinations in all of Long Island. For his Fall 2023 'Venus' collection, Tennant is working on a smaller scale, fashioning surreal light fixtures out of seashells that would make Salvador Dali twirl his mustache with appreciation. The man who gave us the famed Lobster Telephone named his 1939 New York World's Fair pavilion, which featured nude models covered with strategically placed crustaceans, 'The Dream of Venus.' Thankfully, Tennant's raw materials are inanimate, and he makes each piece to order at his studio in Brooklyn." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
Custom Print of Your Ideal Bookshelf
"For years, I've bookmarked this Etsy listing: a custom print by illustrator Jane Mount featuring your favorite books. Maybe 2023 will be the year I decide my list of favorite reads and order this artwork for my office." —Emily Burack, News Writer
Fringed Leather Jacket
"I'm obsessed with fringe. This Polo jacket is at the top of my wishlist." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion and Accessories Director
Lecce Leather Wrap Belt
"I'll admit: shopping for me is no easy feat because I have everything I need... except a brown belt. Something so simple and essential—how in the world don't I have one?! Maybe this will be the year I get it for Hanukkah. Then, I'll really have everything I need for 2024!" —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
Perfect Charm Bracelet
"There's simply nothing I love more than the sound of my jewelry clanking together when I move. While the stack on my wrist is in no way lacking, my gift to myself in 2024 is a charm bracelet that I can adorn with all sorts of mementos that have special meaning for me. My heart skips a beat when I think about the future jingle around my wrist. Plus, there's no place better to turn for this than Fewer Finer. They've never done me wrong."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
+ NET SUSTAIN Sierra shearling coat
"In lieu of a sable under my tree, I've asked Santa to slip a Nour Hammour shearling there instead. While my exact pick is between me and Papa Noel, this timeless and fabulous statement piece is sure to please."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
Panthère de Cartier Manchette 22mm 18-karat gold watch
"No I will not apologize for my extravagant taste. This Panthère 18-karat gold bracelet is a show-stopping gift. One that will take it's recipient's breath away."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
Hyper Blossom Flower Print
"I would love to add some more art to my walls. I’ve been admiring these flower photos for a while now and would be very happy to receive." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
