This was one of the first necklaces I bought from this place I found in the markets. The dress was a going away present from Alber and the PR team at Lanvin when I left Harper's Bazaar to move to L.A. I wore it to my fathers wedding 2 years ago. Dress, Lanvin; Vest, J. Mendel

Who needs a CHANEL tweed jacket when you can just get the bags! Went to see the Sophie Calle exhibit in London that The White Cube Gallery put on; I went with an art class that my twin sister runs in London with the brilliant Aileen Corkery. I was mesmorized by the premise of this exhibit and had to buy the book. Bags, CHANEL

I started my jewelry collection in 1988 when I moved to NYC and had my first job at Condé Nast. The turquoise necklace is from Aspen, I bought it in 1989 for $300. I took it to my friend and jeweler, Aurora Lopez. I love her work with gold and messaging. She added her signature gold nuggets, a scarab I brought back from Egypt and added a quote from Kahlil Gibran on the back of the pendant. Turquoise with purple and green are my favorite colors so I asked Tito to make me the ring with those colors and he did. He called it 'The Amanda Ring.' Turquoise Necklace, Customized by Aurora Lopez; Amethyst Bracelet and Turquoise Ring, Tito Pedrini; Turquoise Bracelet, Rosa de la Cruz

I found this at Couture Lab in London and had to have it. I love everything Carmen does there and thought the body necklace was so chic and unusual. Note to self, use on next shoot!

Jacket, Peter Som; Pin, Vintage from Great Grandmother

I met Sylvia and her husband in Paris through friends. I used her clutches on Lipstick Jungle. They were sold in Victory Ford’s store. This was a present from them. Clutch, Sylvia Toledano

I got this necklace at House of Lavande in Palm Beach. A secret admirer gave me the dress one birthday almost 10 years ago. I think it is time to take it out again! I love photography and have collected over the years. The collage was designed by Andrew Cinnamon, AC Projects, who also designed my website. Dress, Oscar de la Renta; Necklace, Vintage Lanvin

I had to have these shoes. I found them in Atlanta on a job in May. They are like jewelry. So chic, so delicate, so pretty on the foot. J’adore! Shoes, Valentino

The great thing about these fab classics is that I can wear them everywhere... and I do. I wore the CHANEL dress to a wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and a black tie event at the Asia Society in N.Y.C. The ermine wrap I wore over a floral Dior dress to a lunch in London during fashion week. And the Pucci bag? I mean who cares that it weighs a ton; it’s the chicest bag ever. Dress, CHANEL; Wrap, J.Mendel; Bag, Pucci

Enough with the platform! The turquoise blue was a rare choice for me because when I buy color at Manolo Blahnik, it’s usually purple. But who couldn’t love this hue of blue? Shoes, Manolo Blahnik

There is a satin belt that ties under the bust [of the coat]. It is probably an all-time favorite coat of mine. Who needs another evening coat? I got this coat in the summer 2005 when I left Harper's Bazaar to move to L.A. I wore the coat to host [an event for] Kilian Hennessey when he lauched his fragrance line, By Kilian. The dress is made of bird feathers and rhinestones. Naeem said to me, 'You have to take this dress! It’s so tiny. It doesn’t fit anyone else.' I took it to L.A. to wear to a black tie birthday party (that I also wore the Charlotte Olympia clutch to). I ended up in Valentino and my cousin Jane Ross (also a stylist!) wore the dress. Coat, Alessandro Dell’Acqua; Dress, Naeem Khan

Lyn Devon is a brilliant young designer in NYC that I hired to design wardrobe for W New York Hotel Downtown when I was Global Fashion Director for W hotels. I wore this dress to the opening and haven’t taken it off since. Everyone in Paris during collections wanted to know whose dress it was. Whether day and night, I always mix my Ann Dexter-Jones pearls with African and bohemian jewelry from Pippa Small. Dress, Lyn Devon

Love this clutch even if it doesn’t fit anything. It was a gift from Stephen Gan when I worked at Harper's Bazaar. Clutch, CHANEL

I have two green Valentino bags. No one does green like Valentino. I’m obsessed. I love my jewelry. Represented are jewels with history (my family), from Istanbul markets I used on TV and film and fashion shows, Buenos Aires, Bangko and friends. The Charlotte Olympias go with everything and I adore leopard. Bag, Valentino; Shoes, Charlotte Olympia

Love a rock and roll MB. Is there anything chicer? Shoes, Manolo Blahnik

I think this is one of my most coveted purchases from Decades. Love, love, love leopard. The rings are from the 'M’ama non M’ama' series. Nobody does stackables like Pomellato! Bag, Vintage Fendi; Rings, Pomellato

How clever and chic is Charlotte Olympia? I wore the clutch to a 40th birthday in L.A. last year. Cameron Silver put a spoon from the table inside the clutch to see if I would notice walking out with the silverware! I love Charlotte’s creativity and joie de vivre. She takes 'must haves' to a new level! Clutch, Charlotte Olympia

I didn’t realize I had so much CHANEL! When I started at Harper's Bazaar in 2001, Brana Wolf had just shot this jacket in her resort story. It has a grosgrain ribbon belt. Jacket, CHANEL

I never met a CHANEL bag I didn’t like; The ultimate chic is to have one in navy velvet. I love jewelry that looks like art. Seriously can’t get enough of her jewelry. I’m obsessed. Bag, CHANEL; Necklace, Tiffany & Co. x Elsa Peretti

This hat is from Mountain Sky Dude Ranch. In another life, I lived in the mountains. The Trussardi bag is from the year my friend, Milan Vukmirovic was designing. I bought it at The Webster Miami. Shirt, Dolce & Gabbana; Shoes, Benito Fernendez; Bag, Trussardi
