For this edition of In Good Taste, we asked Noria to share the one item she uses constantly and genuinely recommends.

Noria’s Get: Mary MacGill Baroque Pearl Earrings

"I’m a simple gal. My style is pretty classic but also a little bohemian. I love pearls, but the wild kind. These earrings are my go-to because I dress pretty simply, and I like the way they dress everything up, but kind of romantically. I’ve had these earrings at least three years. They go with me everywhere. They are the perfect earring. I wear them nearly every day. When I travel, I always choose the simplest things that roll up, so good earrings are my clutch piece. I fancy myself the Girl with the Pearl Earring, lol. Something I wasn’t expecting: the earrings pick up the white in my hair nicely. I don’t mind it. Mary MacGill is also an incredible designer who has a shop in Germantown, near where I live in the Hudson Valley. She does a lot of different things with pearls. I just feel like she is my pearl lady.”

Quickfire

Most-used item in your closet: Probably the TWP button down shirts. I have them in a few colors. Great fabrications and cuts.

Favorite purchase under $100: Underdays underwear. I bought them at Selfridges a few years ago when I realized I had forgotten to pack underwear lol, and they had a pop up cart. It’s anti-microbial, comfortable. It’s like wellness undies! And super soft not scratchy. They ship to the USA!

Favorite splurge: The Loewe collab with Suna Fujita a few years ago is still one of my favorite artist collabs of all time. I bought the Lemur puzzle bag and adore it. TBH it’s a fight between the pearls and my lemurs for fave thing in the world. But this collab is really worth investing in if you love animals, whimsy, and Loewe. Suna Fujita is a lovely artist.

Must-have travel item: Communite makes these giant cashmere felted scarves that are insanely cozy and great for travel.

Brands you consistently trust: Toteme

Favorite beauty product: Olio e Osso sticks. They are like nourishment for my skin. I have them in multiple colors and the plain one. When you’re older, you need to feed your skin more. These are made from evoo.

One thing you'll never stop buying: A great fitting, beautiful bra that isn’t scratchy. This Wolford one is a fave and it’s crazy on sale.

Wish List: Art. My husband and I have a list and he is good at watching the auctions. But everything we want is always like $100,000 and we gotta get the kids through college soooo….

Noria's NY Black Book

Coffee/Matcha: Ok not a coffee shop but La Dong on 17th makes Vietnamese iced coffees that are insane. You can get to go. Great bar here to for meetups.

Shop local: Bode in Tribeca is such a beautiful store experience. Then get beautified at Onda.

Favorite restaurants: Boqueria (my husband’s so maybe I’m biased but it always serves), El Pingüino in BK, Nakazawa for sushi bar splurge. The Commerce Inn for cozy nights at the bar seats.

Love browsing: Finch in Hudson. It’s the best, run by Andrew and Michael who have incredible eyes.

Simply irresistible: The Frick.

On Her Radar
