A Red Hot Tommy Dress and Other Must Haves
1 FOR HER
Look runway-ready with this fabulous Tommy Hilfiger dress, which is also available in a short white version. Go to tommy.com.
2 TO VISIT
Antonio Viva, owner of L’Arte del Sandalo Caprese on the island of Capri, once crafted sandals for President Richard Nixon and Jackie Kennedy Onassis—and he’s got a scrapbook filled with pictures to prove it. But Viva, who has been Anacapri’s cobbler king for nearly 50 years, says he likes making shoes for regular folks as much as marquee names, because foot travelers usually have time to sit and chat. And talking with Viva pays off: he’ll customize a pair of sandals for you while you wait. Available at Via Orlando 75 in Anacapri; or go to sandalocaprese.it, or call 081.8373583.
3 TO SEE
Don’t miss “The Aim of Art is Living Creations,” 50 stunning photographs by legendary artist Josef Albers that are on display at the top-floor gallery space of Hermès's Madison Avenue store, in Manhattan. The exhibition runs through Sept. 26. 691 Madison Avenue, New York City; 212.751.3181.
4 TO RELAX
Our neighbors at Vogue may insist Fashion Rocks—and it can also be hard work—so after an exhausting fashion week, kick back in the Blu Dot’s Buttercup Rocker chair and contemplate your fall style. Go to bludot.com, or visit ABC Carpet & Home in Manhattan, Hasker in Brooklyn, or PlushPod in Los Angeles.
5 TO SHOP
If you’re looking for the perfect riding boots for fall, try Absolute Vintage, a quality vintage shop in East London near Old Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane. The shop has a dizzying array of retro apparel, handbags, and shoes—in fact, it boasts one of the largest second-hand shoe collections in all of Britain. The store’s merchandise, which is squeezed into a giant warehouse, is mostly from the 1930s to the 1980s, and the fact that all of the items are arranged by size and color makes for easy pruning. 15 Hanbury St., London; 0207.247.3883;absolutevintage.co.uk.
