Michelle Aviña I'm focusing on my own well-being at the luxe Cal-a-Vie spa in Vista, California, at Women's Health Week, October 14 through 20. The schedule includes a menu of fitness and blissful body treatments, and you reside in adorable vine-covered cottages. $8,095, through cal-a-vie. com. Carol Isaak Barden O Scalamandre's umbrella with its iconic 1940s zebra pattern has left me singing. Who needs good weather, anyway? $95, at the Scalamandre showroom. Seth Vaughan Photographer Tony Mendoza's "Flowers" series was literally taken from the ground up — an intriguing departure from typical flower photography. $1,500 to $2,500, at De Santos Gallery. Jenny Antill Loving my treasure from H&M: a droll pineapple-shaped handbag that doubles as sculpture, and a steal at $13. Catherine D. Anspon KE NN ON EV ET I 've always been mad for hammered gold, so I'm hooked on Ippolita's 18K-gold Snowman earrings from the Crinkle Collection. $1,395, at Saks Fifth Avenue, Zadok Jewelers. Laurann Claridge T KENNON EVETT NON KEN TT EVE W hen I learned that Hermès was debuting wallpaper this fall, I was faint; when I saw the Feuillage pattern designed by Raoul Dufy, which takes me back to NYC's Indochine, I fell out of my chair. As the editrix in Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? might proclaim, "Divine!" Seth Vaughan I hate to queue for anything, but for this I will. The Ferrari 458 Spider convertible has a top speed of 199 MPH, a 570 horsepower engine and a seven-speed automatic gearbox.

Carol Isaak Barden Houston designer Nancey Chapman now lives in India and produces these phenomenal silk tie-dyed, bias-cut dresses. $700, at net-a-couture.com.

Holly Moore nce home of the Lambs Club (a prestigious New York theater society where members Charlie Chaplin, Oscar Hammerstein and Fred Astaire romped), this Stanford White-designed building is now home to The Chatwal hotel, designed by Thierry Despont with Art Deco appointments and suede walls, Asprey bath amenities and a restaurant directed by chef Geoffrey Zakarian. This establishment should light up any sophisticate's radar. Seth Vaughan I'm obsessed with antiqued mirrors and spotty mercury glass, so imagine my attraction to Absolution's amber-scented candle, which is poured into a hand-blown mercury-glass jar. Each Shannon Koszyk Olive Candle is made in Texas and comes with a fetching bronze medal. $116, at taigan.com. Laurann Claridge Dysfunction at its best: The Royal Tenenbaums with Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston, 2001. Michelle Aviña I can't stop — won't stop — wearing plaid jackets.

Ceron N O NN KE Late Pritzker Prizewinner Luis Barragán's home turned museum, Casa Luis Barragán, in Mexico City, is dazzling. Tour the design studio, living areas and gardens. Don't miss the Picasso, reportedly given to Barragán by the artist himself. Michelle Aviña T ET EV The Duke of Windsor wore his wedding ring alongside a Trinity ring on his left pinky. I'll achieve a similar effect by wearing two of Tenenbaum & Co.'s vintage offerings of the classic Cartier creation and look terribly regal. From $795. Seth Vaughan AUGUST | PAGE 22 | 2012 I'm walking on sand all fall in Rodarte's first-ever shoe collection launching this month. Do you not die over the sand-layered heels? To order at barneysnewyork.com. Kate Stukenberg
