Receipts Feat. Actress Abigail Spencer

“I’m not really a ‘sneakers’ gal. The chucks, Stan, Martens, and Vejas trend never held for me. Even the Celine all-white sneakers sat in the corner…until I found the most comfortable clouds for my feet: the Loewe sneakers. I’ve never loved a sneaker so much, and have it in two styles, rotating constantly. I say it’s price per wear: so these are free now."

“This is my signature scent. I always carry one in my purse. I have multiple travel-sized bottles, and keep a larger one at home—always within reach. I’m so sensitive to scent, and I can’t stand being able to smell myself. 

Molecule 01 mixes with your pheromones so I can’t smell myself, but apparently I leave a waft of good fortune wherever I go. I’ve been chased down the street being asked ‘what are you wearing, I love it!’ I’ll also mix it with other scents when I’m feeling crazy, so there’s always a ‘me’ component, and I wear the scent instead of the scent wearing me. I always buy a bottle at Selfridges when passing through London.”

“These are the wellness essentials I swear by. I would say these are my most ordered items. I keep them with me at all times to ward off the bad, and keep the good wards in.”

“I was never a rosé champagne kind of a gal, always Brut and very dry until a Cap Ferret, France excursion last summer with a group of friends. A boat ride to the lovely La Co(o)rniche, 5 Étoiles | Hôtel Restaurant & Spa, La Dune du Pyla for a sunset dinner where the hotel manager offered us a rosé champagne. I was hesitant. He said “trust me.”

This blush label with a name I couldn’t pronounce: Billy-car SalMoo? I tasted it. Could it be? The best champagne I’ve ever tasted? I took a photo of the label. Now I serve it to my friends and at all my parties. Turns out this Champagne is not BS. Just the name is.”

“I love crystals so much that my friend, Maya Brenner, created a collection called The Retreat, so you can have a piece to protect your peace. I wear it every day, and now it’s become my go-to for gifting. I truly love wearable crystals—whether for travel, protection, elegant affairs, it’s a little bit of rock and roll.”

“It’s never not time for a stocking moment. I will unabashedly use the term ‘panty hose’ at a party. Try and stop me! (h/t to my Fosse dancing days). These tights give me a base layer of black hosiery and a corset, where I can add literally anything on top—switching things in and out.

They give me built-in support at my core. The only drag about the summer season for me is that it’s most definitely not tights season, but once there’s even the lightest brisk in the air, you’d better believe your sweet hippy that these Wilford Dot Tights will be under every other layer. They’re perfect.”

“Hello, Glam Jams. This is an essential travel and home set for me. Sometimes I even do Zoom pilates in the bottoms or throw on a sweater, and it becomes ‘ workwear.’ Heidi is a dear friend, so I automatically love and wear everything she makes, but these are a true essential.”

“Okay, I wear a lot of La Ligne. The LL girls really did it. Every year, they have one killer staple, and this year it’s the Lena Dress. I say it’s the La Ligne to Laissez-faire in.”

“Meet my uniform. If they were to make a wax figure of me, these jeans would be forever sealed as a part of my ‘lewk.’ I’d be head-to-toe KHATE, alongside The Dallas Ankle Boot in every suede as well as the Scarlet Sweater 5-Button version—preferably all block. Basically my version of Steve Jobs-ing.”

“Candles, candles, candles: I’m a scent nut. I’m very particular. I buy LOTS of candies and have them all burning in various parts of the house simultaneously, so every room tells their own story—a scent for every room as you bloom through the day. I'm testing all sorts out because I’m looking to shift my floral bouquets business into a ‘bouquet of candles business,’ and working on a line with Soy Candles Handmade in West Hollywood California – Flores Lane.”

I’m into skin, and skin is in. I don’t invest in makeup, but I am all about the make-off. I have cystic acne, and prefer to never wear makeup if I can help it, so protecting and keeping my skin clean, healthy, and low-maintenance is key for me! I keep a pack of these Bioderma H2O wipes on the plane, in my purse, and by my bed for when I can’t do the full regimen. Bonus: these wipes also get out blood, wine, and chocolate stains from clothing and sheets!”

“I absolutely LOVE this sunglasses company. New Orleans-born, I discovered their branded airstream in the parking lot of a Nashville’s White store I love. I got a pair and never looked back. I get so many compliments and even put them on a face of a friend in Paris who loved them. Whenever I'm in NYC, I pop into the Soho store for a refresh because they are so great, they get stolen constantly! I’m trying to get the Webster changed to The Abigail.”

“I dated someone once who called me ‘Hat Girl,’ and from that point on, I embodied that nickname. I love it. I am literally always wearing some sort of baseball cap, but which one I decide to wear depends on what the ‘moment’ is feeling like. I keep a collection of discreet yet quirky dad caps around to help reflect my current mood. My latest moment has been all about a retired state of mind, retiring from my old ways of being—a cheeky reminder, if you will. I usually wear black, but this periwinkle blue is absolutely perfect.”

“Nothing else needs to be said.”
