These Are T&C Editors's Best Purchases of 2022
Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
1) Beliz Crystal-Embellished Puff-Sleeve Blazer
Dries Van Noten
bergdorfgoodman.com
$1635.00
"I am always looking for a beautiful jacket that could translate to black tie if it needs to-bring on the jewelry! And Dries has often come to the rescue. I have a few evening coats from seasons ago that were in regular party rotation but I needed a refresh and finally, I found it! I’m wearing this one to several holiday parties with varying amounts of pearls." —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief
2) Suitcase Set | 12 & 5-Bottle
Fly With Wine
flywithwine.com
$648.00
"Heading to Napa or the South of France for a weekend and trying to figure out how to bring back your wine safely and securely? Look no further! For anyone who loves wine as much as I do, this is a MUST HAVE. Not only is it a sturdy set of luggage, the full size can carry up to 12 bottles of wine, the carryon 5 bottles. And the foam inserts are removable so if you don’t have any wine this is just a great luggage set!" —Ashleigh Macdonald-Bennett, Deputy Managing Editor
3) Mich Draped Embellished Tulle Mini Dress
RETROFêTE
net-a-porter.com
$485.00
"I got married this year, and after finding my wedding dress, shoes, and earrings, searching for the perfect afterparty dress took some time. When this sparkly mini arrived in the mail, however, I knew I found the one. It fit like a glove, and it was exactly the vibes (fun! sparkly!) I was hoping for. Now to figure out another event to wear it to..." —Emily Burack, News Writer
4) Sony Alpha 7C Mirrorless Digital Camera with FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 Lens, Silver
Adorama
adorama.com
$1898.00
"A compact high quality camera has always meant there was some kind of compromise. This camera has not only performed way above my expectations but has been an absolute joy to use." —Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer
5) Samsung The Frame 55" Class LS03B Smart TV
Samsung
samsung.com
$999.99
"Getting a TV is a high-wire act these days. Will it be too big? Too tech-y? Too much of a contraption? How do you minimize a big, modern gadget without compromising your design aesthetic? The folks at Samsung have come up with an attractive compromise: The Frame, a smart-TV that hangs like an art work. I had heard raving testimonials from friends but couldn't quite believe them until I stopped by the brand's store in the Meatpacking District, and there it was in its high-gloss, high-definition glory. During my visit, I learned from a curator that Samsung has an institutional partnership with major museums, including the Tate and the Louvre, that make its permanent collections available for at-home digital "framing." At the store, The Frame passed the design test, but what about at home? I had no more questions once I saw a J.M.W. Turner work nestled in my beloved Vitsoe shelves. Sold!" —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
6) GreenPan ? Reserve Taupe 10-Piece Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware Set
Greenpan Reserve
crateandbarrel.com
$399.95
"I agonized for months over whether I should buy Caraway or GreenPan nonstick cookware, and finally opted for GreenPan primarily because the slightly smaller sizes better suited to my mini-kitchen. I could not be happier: the pans are sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and actually make me want to use them instead of ordering takeout (which is really saying something)." —April Long, Beauty Director
7) Pasta Bowls 30oz
Y YHY
amazon.com
$29.11
"It sounds silly, but these pasta bowls bring me joy every time I use them. Halfway between a plate and a bowl, their wide, shallow shape is not only functional, but it somehow elevates everything from a homemade bolognese to my thrown together leftovers into something that feels worthy of a five star table (and my Instagram.)" —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
8) Hague Blue
Farrow & Ball
farrow-ball.com
$8.50
"I swear by Farrow & Ball paint, and surely the colors that I used this year on various projects—Skylight and De Nimes, among them—count among my very best purchases of the year." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
9) Classic Belt
J. Crew
jcrew.com
$49.50
"I'm not kidding when I say J.Crew's leather belt is my favorite purchase of 2022. It's sturdy and versatile, and its price point makes it all the more versatile. I wear it so much, that I just ordered the skinnier version over Black Friday weekend. To quote myself: 'Trust me, this is going to be the workhorse of your year-round wardrobe.'" —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
10) Wooster Wool Coat
Rag & Bone
rag-bone.com
$695.00
"This Rag & Bone camel coat is an easy runner-up to the aforementioned J.Crew belt. It makes me look and feel classy, but most importantly, it's doing its job of keeping me warm and toasty as the temps drop here in NYC." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
11) LARQ Pitcher PureVis?
livelarq.com
$148.00
"I really made an effort this year to make small changes to impact my overall health... one of which was drinking more water. I splurged on the LARQ pitcher a few months ago and I love that not only does it filter out unwanted pollutants and contaminants, but it is also self-cleaning. Even better: it tracks how much water I filter so I have a clear read on how much my intake is. I love it—truly the definition of a household item I never knew I needed and now won't go without."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
12) Large Cabana Tote
Paravel
tourparavel.com
$185.00
"I lived in Paris during the spring and summer of this year and often took spontaneous trips to nearby cities. This tote bag made my send offs from Gare du Nord feel so much easier." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor
13) Alabaster Alexandrie
Officine Universelle Buly
buly1803.com
58.33
"During a trip to Paris over the summer I went a little overboard stocking up on soaps and scents from L'Officine Universelle Buly. A favorite from the haul: this alabaster stone perfumed with the apothecary's minty Alexandrie oil. I love the way its heady scent refreshes a room—and instantly takes me back to a great trip." —Leena Kim, Associate Editor
14) K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick - Rosy Seduction
Charlotte Tilbury
us.charlottetilbury.com
$37.00
"I'm of the mindset that putting on the right shade of lipstick can change your whole day. Earlier this year, I picked up Charlotte Tilbury's K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula in Rosy Seduction—and I'm so happy I did. It's an instant confidence booster." —Caroline Hallemann, Digital Director
15) Disquette Slipper
Ugg
ugg.com
$100.00
"I bought these UGGs in January of this year and they have become my most worn pair of shoes. They're the perfect at-home slipper that keeps your feet warm and protected." —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor
16) The Selma Sofa Collection
Clad Home
cladhome.com
$2740.00
"An amazingly comfortable and gorgeous sofa from Clad Home, a designer-owned, LA-based company that builds its furniture in the U.S. and offers tons of custom options." —Norman Vanamee, Articles Director
17) Normatec 3 Legs
Hyperice
hyperice.com
$799.00
"I ran the New York marathon this year and the Normatec 3 was one of the essentials for my recovery. After two 45-minute sessions my legs felt just about back to normal. I highly recommend for any athlete, but also for anyone who wants to give their legs a little love!" —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
18) Georgine Dressing Mirror
Anthropologie
anthropologie.com
$1198.00
"For the longest time, I relied solely on my bathroom vanity mirror. Trying to assemble an outfit using a 20 inch mirror, only to catch my reflection in the window of Saks and find that the look was not what we were hoping for - less than ideal. This gorgeous full length mirror provides enough space for creation and is a beautiful addition to my NY apartment." —Mekaylah Yowpp-Hernacki, Freelance Fashion Assistant
From kitchenware to a new TV and cozy camel coats, these are the best things we bought this year.
