They’re never expected, but they’re always remembered.
Thoughtfulness expressed through a gift is one of the quickest ways to my heart. I’m drawn to objects with stories. I love pieces that carry history, beauty, sentiment, or simply remind me of someone long after the evening ends.
I’m deeply sentimental by nature. A carefully chosen book, a rare coin, a bottle saved for a special occasion, a handwritten note tucked into flowers, they things stay with me.
More than luxury itself, I appreciate the feeling behind it: attention, curiosity, generosity, intention.
For those who insist on spoiling me a little, here are a few things I currently adore.
Jewelry
I’ve always felt deeply sentimental about jewelry. More than anything else, it feels like a way of carrying a memory of someone with me long after we’ve said goodnight.
And, besides — there’s only one thing better than dressing up for you in beautiful lace lingerie: dressing up in diamonds. And nothing else.

Rare Objects & Numismatics
It’s the hobby of kings… and me.
There’s something romantic about holding an object that survived entire civilizations. Coins carry history in the palm of your hand- tiny pieces of art, power, legacy, and obsession.
If you’re a fellow numismatist, you already know to skip the flowers and go straight for the proof coins.
Currently obsessing over:
Athenian Tetradrachm
Uncirculated Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel
Wheat Pennies:
1955 Double Die Obverse
1909-S VDB
1943 Bronze Lincoln Cent
And if you get stumped somewhere between mintage and error coins, you can never go wrong with:
Gold bullion
Pre-1964 silver dollars
Rare Books
A carefully chosen book might honestly be one of the quickest ways to my heart.
I love first-edition American classics- Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner- the kinds of books that feel better the older they become.
Lately, I’ve fallen into a serious Russian novelist phase:
Dostoevsky, Nabokov, Tolstoy.
I also have a soft spot for stories about history’s most iconic muses and romantics:
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Baudelaire’s Fleur du Mal.
(Yes- Baudelaire was inspired by a famous Parisian courtesan. Naturally, I adore that!)
Hermès
I can’t help but feel a little giddy whenever I see an orange box.
An Hermès bag is more than a place to stash lip gloss. It’s craftsmanship, ritual, patience, and beauty all wrapped into one impossibly elegant object.
The best ones require strategy and thoughtfulness to acquire- qualities I happen to find incredibly attractive.
Dream Pieces:
Birkin 30 — Black Togo
Birkin 25 — Bleu Lin Epsom
Kelly 25 — Black Epsom
Kelly 28 — Bordeaux Crocodile
Lingerie
I already own enough lingerie to be catalogued by the Dewey Decimal System. Honestly, I’ve considered hiring a librarian.
I gravitate toward:
Agent Provocateur
Bordelle
Bespoke French lingerie ateliers
If you’re imagining me as your muse and model, I’d be delighted to arrange a private shopping experience at Agent Provocateur.
A treat for us both.
Fine Art
There’s something incredibly intimate about living with art that moves you.
I’m especially drawn to pieces with warmth, femininity, tension, romance, and emotional ambiguity- paintings that feel less like decoration and more like mirrors.
I love supporting emerging artists, wandering galleries for hours, and discovering works that stay lodged in my chest long after I’ve left the room.
Cultural Legacy
Beyond objects, I deeply treasure experiences and institutions that continue to inspire me creatively.
Supporting museums, exhibitions, and preservation efforts feels incredibly meaningful to me- a way of investing in beauty, culture, and curiosity itself.
