It’s the time of the year when every day feels like two squeezed into one, thanks to family celebrations, rsvps and pre-holiday errands. All the more reason to love this flattering-on-all Tory Cashmere Tunic. And as you can see here, this iconic silhouette is also super versatile — equally effortless with skirts, jeans and pjs (and equally comfy).
It’s also very chic under the tree. (Hint, hint.)
Equal parts glamour, sophistication and ease. Holiday is an alchemist’s mix of light-and-dark contrast with subtly shiny details. The point is to command attention, not grab it.
Caroline de Maigret is a magnet for cool. Not only is she a French supermodel and longtime Chanel muse, but she’s also founder of her own record label Bonus Track Records. Plus, she has a pretty kick-ass style — equal parts chic and nonchalant. We interviewed the multi-hyphenate entrepreneur and got her take on all things holiday, music, Paris and, of course, la vie en mode.
There’s more to Versailles than châteaus and Louis XIV finery. It’s also home to some of the coolest French bands out there — Daft Punk, Air and Phoenix. The newest name to add to that list is the electro-pop group Saint Michel, which takes over Le Baron Chinatown tonight for a live concert. Read on for an introduction in our interview with members Philippe Thuillier (left) and Emile Larroche.
“I was strolling down Madison Avenue, minding my own business, when this metallic pebbled leather bag started calling to me from the Tory Burch store. Guess it was meant to be,” said Oprah Winfrey.
We love our new Michelle Tote, too. Michelle was chosen by Oprah as one of her favorite things to give this holiday. See it in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and on tonight’s OWNtv special, Oprah’s Favorite Things (November 18th), where there will be a top secret giveaway to 30 deserving and unsuspecting people.

Brains, beauty and heart — model Topaz Page-Green founded The Lunchbox Fund after seeing that children in her native South Africa were not getting enough to eat. Here, she tells us all about the project, which provides nutritious lunches to students, and what she’s learned so far.
To fête our new Boston store at Copley Place, we put together a playlist that celebrated — what else? — all things Beantown, the bands and the classics.
Boston is one of the country’s most storied towns — it’s birthplace to the Kennedys and the American Revolution. We’re proud to open Tory’s newest outpost there at Copley Place. We asked Beantown native Shea Rose — whose music is a unique mix of hip hop, soul, funk and rock — for more insider intel on her hometown, like a cool sneaker store that masquerades as a bodega.
Searching for that perfect present? You’re getting warmer….
Our most-wanted gifts of the moment have a very rosy outlook. We’re into the subtle shine of The Super Naturals, a glowing mix of metallics and neutrals — from tawny croc, copper and animal-print accessories to precious statement pieces in bronze, topaz and gold. See the Gift Guide now.
Even if you’ve never heard of Scott Henderson, you’ve probably seen his work, whether in museums or…your very own kitchen. This award-winning product designer brilliantly elevates the everyday — teapots, tabletop items, serveware, diaper caddies and clocks — as both consultant to brands such as Skip Hop, OXO and Umbra and co-founder of his own design firm, Mint. We chatted with Scott on good design and his newest project: yachts.
The song, the vibe, the colors, the prints, the Sapeurs. All of it good. We’re still obsessed with Solange Knowles’ Losing You video. She was inspired by the work of Brooklyn-based artist Mickalene Thomas and even shot her teaser video at Thomas’ studio. Step further into the bodaciously wild prints and color (with rhinestones!) of Thomas’ work right now at the Brooklyn Museum and Lehmann Maupin gallery.
The last few weeks have been tough on the tri-state area, but we’re joined in community and must do what we can to help those in need. During times like this, music is a balm and an inspiration….

With the mercury dropping, we have one thing on our minds: cold comfort, which has us reaching for cozy, plush pullovers like our Kelsey bouclé tunic. And lest you think the sweater look is a day-only affair, jewelry designer Zani Gugelmann shows us how to style it for night, too. While layering and leather leggings up its sportif factor, pairing the tunic with a high-shine skirt, heels and statement jewelry makes for a sexy evening ensemble. Its subtle sparkle factor only adds to the allure.
A Rolling Stone gathers no moss. But across 50 years, it does gather a lot of fantastic film footage. For the next few weeks, the Museum of Modern Art will be playing The Rolling Stones: 50 Years on Film. Buy a ticket on multiple nights — every show will be different. One night will be Robert Frank’s S-8 Stones Footage from Exile on Main Street as well as early appearances on The T.A.M.I Show in 1964. The roster of filmmakers the band has worked with is staggering: Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorsese and the Maysles, to name a few.
Britt Maren really is a model with a sweet tooth. She proved it by baking her signature holiday cake — a spicy-sweet apple treat — for us. The self-described foodie also got into how she likes to entertain at home and mix in Swedish holiday traditions.
Le Cirque founder Sirio Maccioni already has a constellation of lauded restaurants around the world — and he’s not slowing down. Just last month, he opened Sirio Ristorante New York at The Pierre hotel. It’s based off his childhood in rural Tuscany and a great spot to go during the holidays. Turns out, though, Sirio’s backstory is as delicious as his food — like the time Woody Allen borrowed his kitchen or when he flirted outrageously with Bianca Jagger or when Jacqueline Kennedy…oh, just read on.
‘Tis the season to sparkle and shine — but there’s a trick to pulling off the look without going over-the-top. Here, in our Rea Dress, Tory shares her secrets to wearing metallics in a way that’s sophisticated yet understated.

Keep your eyes on this girl. The London-based Quentin Jones is a multi-hyphenate painter, illustrator and filmmaker on the rise — and one of fashion’s most in-demand artists, with Chanel, Kenzo and Victoria Beckham collaborations under her belt already. Her hyper-surreal, stop-motion-meets-collage mentality and cool sex appeal will blow you away. Here, she talks art, Elvis and affogato.
The jewel-box boutique The Poppy Store
could easily be confused with the well-edited closet of a front-row fashion lover. Except that its clientele is the under-12 set. Here, co-founders Jenny Belushi (married to Jim) and Heather Whitney Rosenfield, tell us about the importance of change, passion and having a strong opinion.
New York entrepreneur Alex Kramer has led a pretty varied career, with stints as photo editor at The Source magazine and head of visuals at Luxury Finder. Now, she’s turned fashion designer with a terrific collection of chic-yet-streamlined looks, available at Shopbop and Intermix. We wanted to know, are her days now as eclectic as ever? Considering they kick off with a Dolly Parton ditty, you bet.
We’re celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week by spotlighting inspiring women business owners.
Imagine a one-stop online shop that sells the best designer décor, furniture and antique finds for a fraction of the cost…and you have One Kings Lane. Launched by Susan Feldman and Alison Pincus in 2009, the website has taken off (understatement). They personify the big-ideas spirit celebrated right now during Global Entrepreneurship Week. We asked Feldman and Pincus to give us 10 minutes….
Everyone has a dark side. The Whitney Museum’s new Sinister Pop exhibit takes a look at the less cheerful side of artists like Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Ed Ruscha. Goodbye, bright flowers and oversized soup cans. Hello, limp cigarette butts and faceless mother and child. It’s a fascinating take on a much-studied and oft-quoted era, with nods to everything from film noir and over-consumption to race relations, women’s rights and post-Vietnam War political rage.
