Tory Burch is one tirelessly stylish multi-hyphenate, creating fashion, accessories, home and beauty collections for her multi-billion-dollar company, overseeing more than 200 signature stores and running a foundation that empowers female business owners. But the 52-year-old newlywed (she married LVMH advisor Pierre-Yves Roussel last weekend at her Caribbean estate) and mom of three boys still carves time for family holidays at her homes in New York, Southampton and Antigua. To celebrate the season, she and her team asked actress and activist Rashida Jones to write a holiday video starring “Black-ish” actress Yara Shahidi (watch it on the brand’s digital channels). They also tapped Astrology Zone founder Susan Miller to compile a gift guide organized by zodiac sign for ToryBurch.com. Here, Burch shares the festive presents she loves to give and receive.
“I can spend hours in Dashwood Books. Their selection of rare fine art and photography books is unmatched.”
“I am incredibly superstitious. This cuff was inspired by my love of good-luck charms as well as a sculpture by Chuck Price.”
“Our ‘Penelope’ pump is elegant, polished and incredibly comfortable.”
“There is truly nothing better for long flights than these noise-cancelling headphones.”
“This candle is the perfect hostess gift. It is so beautiful and has a warm cedar wood scent. After the wax burns down, you can use the tureen as a vase for flowers. It was such a great honor to collaborate with someone as extraordinary as [potter] Dodie Thayer.”
“One of my favorite designers in a classic silhouette.”
“During the holidays, my family and I spend hours sitting by the fireplace playing Scrabble, and we are fiercely competitive. It doesn’t help that one of my brothers found the Scrabble dictionary and knows all those two- or three-letter words that you’ve never heard of.”
“I love Buly products, particularly their Lait Virginal. It is so hydrating and lightly scented.”
