LUXE LIVING
Baby it’s cold outside, so warm up with these winter luxuries.
Words Ella James
WRAP IT UP
Combat the New
Zealand winter with
an Italian-made scarf
that was born to be
worn next to a roaring
open fire. This crystalembellished
wool
and cashmere blend
scarf from Gucci will
set you back $1853,
but can you really put
a price on warmth?
Designer Alessandro
Michele has spun an
everyday essential
that still incorporates
his runway flare. The
crystal-embellished tiger
with all of the glorious
rows of braided fringe
will have you longing for
winter to stick around.

LET’S HIBERNATE
Quite frankly, winter renders all party
attire useless. Instead, get cosy and invest
in a most luxurious pair of pyjamas. Olivia
Von Halle has long been on our radars
for producing decadent silk garments,
and the Lila Ariadne silk pyjamas are no
exception. Despite the $725 price tag,
these pyjamas are the brand’s best sellers.
Perhaps down to the sublime print,
mother-of-pearl buttons and, of course,
the very finest silk. We’ll see you in the
spring. oliviavonhalle.com
LET IT GLOW
Cosy days spent in the comfort of your own home are only ever elevated
with the addition of lit candles. Fornasetti Profumi is well known for
gorgeous candles that make for wonderful ornamental vases once the hours
of burn time have fizzled out. The 1900g Ortensia candle comes decorated
with the face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri, a muse of the designer. For 200
hours, the three-wick candle will emit its alluring scent of white rose, iris and
jasmine, perfectly created by Cire Trudon perfumer Emmanuel Philip. But
at what cost, I hear you ask? Take a deep breath and quite literally smell the
roses, because this candle costs $731. Almost too good to light.
