Everything I Saved This Week | 039

Recent mental fancies.

Almost 40 of these? Yowza.

Images and musings for the week ending 8/1/26.

Alexei Hay Jewelry x Leandra Medine Cohen Fine Romani Cuffs

Saved because: I’ve had this stack of Alexei Hay’s collaborative silver bangles with Leandra Medine saved on my Pinterest for weeks. If you see any outfit photo from Leandra, she is typically wearing one. I’m not sure when they first came out, but LMC has always been someone I’ve followed sheerly for her ability to style her insane jewelry collection.

These cuffs are truly what dreams are made of, coming in at minimum $4k a pop. They’re inlaid with diamonds, gemstone cabochons of all kinds, finished in gold bezels. Honestly, forget a $10k Chanel bag, I want one of these. (JK I’d like both, oops.)

Living Room at Villa Cléo Canadel in St. Tropez Photographed by Giulio Ghirardi

Saved because: I came across Villa Cléo in my scrolls this week and immediately loved how this living room at the St. Tropez home felt modern yet (positively) stuck in the 1970s. The room looks like it could be straight out of Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash, with the white wash walls and stone floor. The built in couch is definitely a choice in the leaf fabric, but somehow, it works, offset the midcentury bookshelves, coffee table and futon. The book and art curation is superb, I love the line of portraits along the walls. See more images of the home here.

Céramiques de Picasso Prints by Georges and Suzanne Ramié, Published by Albert Skira (1948)

Saved because: Picasso’s ceramics are more compelling to me than most of his paintings. Ceramics are a medium I am deeply drawn to, I love seeing an artists’s clear POV like Picasso’s unleashed onto an earthenware form. He crated just over 600 pieces in his lifetime with Madoura Pottery Studio in France that incorporated Picasso’s signature animals, faces, and errant forms.

He began ceramics after the second world war, and continued soon up until his death. I found these prints of his ceramics from a 1948 edition chronicling his work at Madoura Pottery Studio, famously owned by Georges and Suzanne Ramié. This flat lay of prints is now inspiring a color palette for my wardrobe and home… Apparently these lithographic prints are quite valuable, and would look lovely arranged on a wall. If a pricey print isn’t in the cards, I have this wonderful book with wonderful photographs of his pieces.

Chanel S/S ‘26 Trousers Captured by Sasha Marro, Styled by Johanna Ankelhed

Saved because: You might think this is an ordinary pair of trousers. Well, it is. But if there’s one thing I’ve been enamored with since Monsieur Blazy took the helm at Chanel nearly a year ago, it’s been his ability to work in the brand’s signature double C logo into pieces without it feeling gaudy, cheesy, tacky… you choose your word.

We’ve seen it at the back of trousers like the houndstooth pair above, or via a gold logo at the neck of a pullover or on a jacket, or even in the stitching on a pair of wide leg jeans. It’s another way the house’s new creative director continues to redefine the house codes in his own way. It’s the touch of craft that makes that piece unique and thus, Chanel.

Tim Walker for W Magazine, 2012

Saved because: I’ve been spending more time on Tim Walker’s Instagram again lately. He’s really one of my heroes. In the age of AI, his sharing of BTS and thought processes from his shoots and creations over the years is truly a salve for the soul. (I actually wrote about it last May in a post, and it reminded me to return to his posts.)

This image of gloriously large cherry blossom branches amongst 17th century furniture and musical instruments abound caught my eye this week. It’s from a 2012 issue of W Magazine, which I feel I probably at one point held in my hands many moons ago. The editorial is called “Magical Thinking” and mostly features Walker’s photographs of Spring 2012 pieces styled in a rather ethereal manner by Jacob K. The shoot also features incredible interior still lifes, of which only Walker’s mind could conjure. Shop Walker’s Wonderful Things book here.

Manuela Pavesi’s Vacation Hair, Vogue Italia (1986)

Saved because: Remember everyone going crazy over The Row’s multiple hair comb styling by Guido Palau for S/S ‘26 not so long ago? I raise you this image from 1986, styled by the incomparable late Manuela Pavesi, a longtime collaborator and friend of Miuccia Prada and a Vogue Italia editor. Photographed by Albert Watson, it easily could be from today, the bright blue, late evening sky paired with a loosened khaki trench is striking. Heaven knows I need this many pins to hold my amount of hair up!
