One of the things that drew me to this apartment was the fourteen foot ceiling height! I have my mother’s artwork on nearly every wall; the apartment is practically a small gallery of her work.

Maria Duenas Jacobs
Senior Accessories Editor, Glamour. New York
Welcome to Maria Dueñas Jacobs’ Greenwich Village residence, who acts as the Accessories Editor at Glamour Magazine (a company she’s been with for over five and a half years). We’re definitely suckers for anything monogrammed or initial-emblazoned, and nothing sets the stage more than something a little intriguing right before you walk into someone’s home. So when Mrs. Dueñas Jacobs invited us to her West Side abode, when we came face to face with her surname in black and white typeface outside her door – we knew we were hooked already. Freelancing as a stylist during college (she made her plaster dog Calvin look impeccably handsome in one of her fringe necklaces), she also spent her years honing her skills at places such as Proenza Schouler, Vogue, and PR Consulting, before setting up shop at Glamour, where she now oversees all the accessories sprinkled throughout the glossy pages. She’s a family girl at heart: her mom’s art is sprinkled heavily throughout her fourteen foot ceiling apartment, and after her sister landed at gig at Vera Wang, she’s the first to admit that her closet has certainly reaped the benefits of a sibling in fashion. She’s constantly rocking one of our favorite girls bracelets (Teen Vogue’s Mary Kate Steinmiller), and has one hell of an affinity for vintage statement jewelry…and it’s starting to become a problem. “I love big statement jewelry but my collection is threatening to take over my dresser. I’ve been trying to keep it as organized as possible in these trays, but I’m definitely growing out of them,” she says. “I sort everything by type - necklaces in trays, bracelets and rings in separate bowls. My dream is to own an antique map drawer where everything is perfectly sorted and on discrete display” states Dueñas Jacobs with humble honesty. But with shoes gifted directly from Mr. Louboutin himself, she’s going to have to give her other accessories (beyond her jewels) a compartmentalized home of their own. Stay calm everyone…there’s room for all.
I love this coat and was so lucky to find it at one of Proenza Schouler's sample sales. I had pockets put in so that my hands wouldn't freeze in the winter!

This skirt was originally knee length but I had about six inches cut off and made it into a high-waisted mini. I’m a big believer in the power of a great seamstress/tailor.

This is Calvin. My sister, Bianca, found him at a great home store in Paris and surprised me with him for one of my birthdays. Calvin doesn't usually wear jewelry but it would be hard for anyone (plaster dogs included) not to look awesome in this fringe necklace.

I adore this turtle. He was a wedding gift and literally makes me smile every time I look at him. This was one of Mary Kate Steinmiller's very first creations, and she gave it to me after we shot a few on Leighton Meester in one of our issues.

The lace top was originally a dress that didn't fit quite right so I had it re-cut into a top.
