Here's what's top of mind vis-à-vis antique shops, books, home scents, and collecting. Compiled by Caitlin Hsu Michael S. Smith Santa Monica Gardens or historical houses you must tour. Mexican modernists … Luis Barragán … Legorreta. I also love Charles IV's Casa del Labrador in Spain that there are so few great photos of. El Escorial monastery outside Madrid. Watch or iPhone. Both! As Ronald Reagan said, "Trust but verify." Top vintage design books in your library. David Hicks, Mongiardino, Veere Grenney (whom I love), Billy Baldwin, and my own!
