1. I love applying the curl cream on damp hair right out of the shower. It’s great for adding moisture and giving curls definition.

3. This glossing gel provides shine and controls frizz. It’s very lightweight, too.

4. Great for in-between shampoos, when I want to freshen up the root area.

5. Worth the price and comes with useful attachments. It's a great investment!

6. Perfect for combing through conditioner in the shower and detangling hair.

7. Brushing your hair after it’s dry will only stretch out your curls or waves. Instead, use a pick to fluff it.

8. Sometimes, I like to twist my hair and use barrettes and clips for quick easy updos instead of a ponytail. These make a fun statement.

1. While I’ve been lucky enough to inherit some gorgeous heirloom linens and cutlery, I’m currently swooning over this stunning set by Christofle. These beautiful pieces will elevate even the most simple dishes. 

2. Double handles make the task of hefting large cast-iron pans out of the oven or from the stovetop much easier. You can carry the pan more easily to the table—where it also happens to look great as a centerpiece. 

3. Two absolute “must-haves” for any well-stocked pantry. 

4. I reach for this constantly: before guests arrive, after everyone’s cleared out, whenever there’s a dry spill… it’s small, but mighty.  

5. If you really want to spoil your guests, chef Dufour’s gorgeous selection of charcuteries—made in New York using classic French techniques—rival some of Paris’ finest offerings. 

6. Add a little greenery to liven up the table. Bloomist’s stunningly realistic faux botanicals can be used on their own, or to help fill out fresh arrangements.

8. I’m a firm believer that you don’t need a special occasion for using cloth napkins. Sferra’s colorful offerings are classic and elevated, without feeling overly fussy.

9. I always change into a statement dress before welcoming my guests. My requirements: it must be comfortable, and preferably worn barefoot. 

Whether hosting a crowd during the holidays, or an intimate group of friends over weeknight cocktails, let this list be your primer for an effortless, stress-free gathering.

Charmaine Landicho Baechle’s Entertaining Essentials

1. I love products that pull double-duty. I use this on wet, freshly-washed hair, and also whenever my strands need a quick refresh. The subtle scent is fabulous, too.

2. This is perfect for adding a bit of grit and texture. 

3. Usually I shy away from hair gels because they leave my hair too greasy and wet-seeming, or helmet-hard—not so with this one! I use it whenever I need a touch of dimension and more of a “look,” and my hair still feels touchable afterwards. 

5. When it comes to makeup and short hair, I think it’s best to play up a single feature. You can never go wrong with a classic red lip.

6.  Khaite x Oliver Peoples do a great cat-eye shape that I'm also really into right now.

7. With my ears more visible these days, I suddenly want to adorn them with gorgeous cuffs and cascading earrings. 

8. Gigi Burris’ hats, which she crafts by hand in her petite Chinatown atelier, are beyond special. This style is one of her most popular, especially as it works on all head sizes and hair lengths. The only issue: you may want one of these chic toppers in every color.  

A pixie haircut can be a gamechanger for more than just one’s locks.

1. You can wear this luscious balm as a hydrating primer under lipstick, or on its own.

2. A lively color in a lightweight, non-sticky formula.  

3. This cream blush delivers a healthy, sheer glow that’s subtle, but you can also keep adding layers to increase the impact. 

5. This is such a luxuriant balm, and the rose scent always makes me happy—morning or night.

6. Ultra-luxe and made with some of the rarest types of roses. 

7. I discovered this hair mist years ago, and always rely on it to help extend my blowouts. It keeps my hair smelling beautiful.

8. Part-shampoo, part-scalp scrub, this is such an interesting, unique product. It gives my hair incredible volume, and needless to say, the scent is divine. 

9. This gorgeous fuchsia gown by Carolina Herrera ticks all the boxes: color, the floral-accented sleeves, and high-wattage glamour.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this supremely chic beauty expert and cosmetics founder—and a lifelong fan of the color pink—offers up ten reasons to wake-up and smell the roses.

1. Favorite cult designer: Maison Mayle. The Carlyne maxi skirt is an exquisite salute to the 70’s. What I love about this full, A-line shape and weight is that it looks great with wedges in the summer or with knee-high boots in the winter, and it falls close to the body without making you feel swallowed up by too much denim.  It’s a true ‘four seasons’ piece, as owner/designer Jane Mayle likes to say.




2. On the not-so-hot summer days, I love wearing these cuffed jeans by B-Sides. 


3. I’m also a fan of the cropped kick-flare silhouette, which I find very flattering on all shapes. This shape looks great with any style of shoe, but I personally think a pair of summer ballerinas or a block-heel mule sandal is perfect during the summer months.

4. I’ve always admired the brand APC, especially its bags. The Grace shoulder bag is a perfect match for summer denim.

5. My favorite album cover. Propped up and displayed, it can be regarded as a piece of art, and also because it’s Jane Birkin wearing her most loved pair of jeans—with the waistband turned down. Perfection!  The album’s not too bad, either!



6. A current favorite is this boxy white shirt by Simkhai. It skims the waist, allowing you to wear it with high-waisted jeans and skirts.


7. In my book, there are no seasonal rules for wearing white denim—wear it year-round! The same goes for this stunningly cool white denim shirtdress by Khaite. It’s effortlessly chic in the summer and similarly so layered up in the winter. I would style this with minimalist, barely-there sandals, and delicate rings by one of my favorite jewelry brands, Ippolita.


8. Nothing feels more “officially” summer than a pair of classic Ancient Greek Sandals.



9. Two beloved coffee table books on rotation during the warm weather months are The Blue Jean and The White T, both by Alice Harris.



10. Jewelry is still having such a moment with so many styles and options out there, but I always find myself going back to the classic, timeless pieces. I love this blue topaz pendant by Ippolita, especially during the summer months with an oversized button-down or at the beach in a bikini.


11. I’ve been wearing Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom scent for over 20 years now. It’s a great all-year fragrance but feels especially fresh during the spring and summer months.

Meet the world’s first sustainable stocking brand.

 There are some chairs that 'own the room'. This is one of them. And it looks so comfortable to boot.

 I work with Leanne Ford on her Crate & Barrel collection shoots and have been dying to get my hands on these vases since I first got to play with the samples a couple of years ago. They are a great size for bigger branches but look fabulous empty too. 

Who cares how simple the food is when you set a table with mismatched stripes?

Just add stripes is my motto for getting dressed.

 I have been acquiring these for decades and I find they make a tailored jacket less serious. I particularly love the red version. You can’t have enough.

 To quote good friend Sioux Nesi, “I love a gaudy shoe!” These striped Mary Janes will add a jaunty finishing touch to the simplest get-up: jeans with a cardigan, a Breton T, or a denim shirt. 

My friend Monica Patel sources the softest, high-quality fabrics for her line of caftans, shirts etc. Thoughtfully designed summer staples.
