John Hardy
The old saying still matters: Go big or go home, and for fall 2021, those words cover what you put on your wrists and what you layer around your neck. Fan-favorite brand John Hardy has a number of fresh-take designs available, including this sterling silver reticulated 2.1MM pendant necklace. $685-$695. (An 18-karat yellow gold option is available.) johnhardy.com
Esquivel
Your feet deserve something shiny and new. Los Angeles label Esquivel’s lace-up women’s Jolene boots — with pops of fuchsia thanks to removable ankle straps — are the ones. They’re made from Italian black, subtly textured leather and handcrafted in Southern California by artisans. $895. esquivelshoes.com
Old Vine
Itika Oldwine-Grimble, the Black floral designer behind downtown Los Angeles’ Oldvine Florals, is offering a new bloom: the debut of the Oldvine Fragrance Meadow Bloom eau de parfum, described as a combination of wild freesia, water and vanilla orchid “inspired by the natural beauty of the Bay Area.” (Says Oldwine-Grimble, who grew up in Northern California, in a news release: “I love the smells of the fog and the ocean, and the wildflowers that cover the rolling hills.”) 100 milliliters. $230. oldvinefragrance.com
