Olivia Von Halle On Her Favourite Pieces & Wish List
1 The Power Piece
I'm obsessed with the Casablanca Riri from our latest collection. It's cut for a relaxed fit in butter soft crepe de Chine silk, which is so lightweight and a dream to wear. The faux fur cuffs are a fun detail that instantly transforms it into the ultimate party piece. It's so effortless and I know I'll be living in it all season.
2 The Shoe
I love a chunky platform – the bigger the better and Gucci does the best. The Gucci G sandals are my all-time favourites. I wear them everywhere – from the office to business lunches and parties.
3 Statement Trousers
Historically, I've been a dress devotee but this season I'm mixing it up with extra-long palazzo-style trousers. We've just developed a new pyjama with longer trousers and we're all obsessed. They’re so versatile – elegant but with an edge.
4 The Bag
I have a white leather Chloé bag with gold hardware that is a treasured gift from my husband. It’s the perfect mid-sized bag and is by my side day and night at this time of year.
5 Jewellery Update
I love Jessica McCormack. She makes such special pieces and they’re so cleverly designed; they work beautifully day or night. My favourite piece is a diamond ring designed to look like the New York skyline. I got it for my birthday a few years back – I think jewellery should be sentimental and worn almost like a talisman.
6 The Party Piece
Our Capability Aquila robe is beautifully finished with floral embellishment – the cut is inspired by a traditional men’s dressing gown, so I'll be wearing it like a house coat this party season. All too often, people focus all their attention on their dress and then chuck any old coat on top – but there is nothing more glamorous than a floor-skimming evening coat.
7 Beauty Essential
This isn't news but Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lip pencil is the best out there. I'm totally addicted and rarely use anything else on my lips. It’s the perfect nude shade and suits every skin tone.
8 The Beauty Tool
I'm not really one for gadgets, but I have very long hair and have some rules to keep it in tip top condition. I air dry it, use clips and never hair ties, and get it cut as regularly as possible.
9 Skincare Hero
The La Mer lip balm is such a miracle product. It’s expensive but so worth it – nothing will make your lips feel softer.
10 The Scent
I've worn Le Labo’s Fleur d’Oranger 27 for years. Whenever I change it, my family and friends complain and inevitably I switch back! It's become a bit of a signature.
11 Interiors Buy
I would love a set of Helle Mardahl's 'Bon Bon Cocktail With a Twist' glasses – they're mouth-blown and come in the most beautiful colours. I’ve just redecorated my home and these are top of my wish list. They’d be the perfect addition to a festive cocktail party.
12 Tablescaping Essential
For our office Christmas party we had eye masks personalised with the teams initials instead of using place settings – it's fun to incorporate something personal into your table setting.
13 The Gadget
We've just had a hot water tap installed in our kitchen – as an avid tea drinker, it’s been a total game changer.
14 The Book
How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan – it's my husband's favourite book and it's been on my list for ages.
15 Hostess Gift
Cire Trudon's 'Madeleine' candle is one of my favourite fragrances. It has notes of iris, jasmine and roses. Heavenly.
16 The Art
I love Alba Hodsoll's work. The compositions are abstract and simple but very beautiful – she depicts dreams through a romantic lens and I find everything she does very inspiring. You can buy her work at Alex Eagle.
17 Christmas List
I'm just excited to spend the day with my family – I have three small children, and the youngest is almost two so they're at the perfect age to enjoy all the Christmas magic.
