There is an art to packing well for summer. The best vacation wardrobes are not overfilled suitcases bursting at the seams, but thoughtfully curated pieces that feel polished, versatile, and effortless from the moment you arrive. This season, House of 29 curated by Sarah Mass David captures that feeling beautifully with The Summer Vacay Edit — a collection designed for women who want to travel light while still looking chic every step of the way.
Whether you are heading to Europe, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, or simply enjoying elegant summer weekends closer to home, these are the pieces that work overtime in your wardrobe. Easy silhouettes, soft neutrals, elevated florals, and travel-friendly fabrics create the perfect mix of comfort and sophistication.
One of the standout looks from the collection is the romantic CAMI NYC pairing featuring the Jayna Skirt. The soft blue floral print feels feminine yet modern, creating a look that instantly transitions from daytime shopping to dinner al fresco. It is the kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel effortless while still looking beautifully polished.
The Crosby Blouse perfectly complements the collection’s relaxed luxury aesthetic. Light, elegant, and easy to wear, it is exactly the kind of blouse you pack for a summer getaway knowing it will work for everything from lunch by the water to cocktails at sunset.
For travel days and cooler evenings, House of 29 includes cozy staples that still feel elevated. The Ziggy Reverse Fleece Sweatshirt from Perfect White Tee is relaxed, luxe, and ideal for long flights, morning coffee runs, or breezy nights near the water.
Accessories throughout the edit are equally thoughtful. The Ashley Bangles from Melinda Maria add a glamorous finishing touch without ever feeling overdone. They are the perfect travel jewelry piece — easy to layer, chic, and versatile enough to wear from day to night.
The Ripley Rader Ponte Knit Straight Leg Pant may become the hardest working piece in your suitcase. Sleek enough for dinner yet comfortable enough for travel, it offers the polished alternative to denim every woman needs during summer travel season.
The Mara Choker Necklace from EF Collection brings an understated coastal elegance to the collection. Delicate pearls and neutral tones make it the perfect finishing touch for effortless summer dressing.
What truly sets House of 29 apart is Sarah Mass David’s personal approach to shopping and styling. Her concierge-style service removes the stress from preparing for vacations, events, or seasonal wardrobe updates. Instead of endless searching, Sarah curates pieces specifically tailored to your lifestyle, making shopping feel personal, elevated, and enjoyable again.
The Summer Vaca Edit is a reminder that the best wardrobes are not about having more — they are about having the right pieces. And House of 29 has mastered exactly that.

From important unheated Kashmir sapphires and no-oil Muzo emeralds to untreated rubies, rare 15+ carat Golconda-type diamonds, and collector-grade natural fancy color diamonds — including vivid blues, pinks, greens, and reds, all GIA certified — Emilio Jewelry offers access to museum-level treasures typically reserved for elite dealers, royalty, museums, and the world’s leading auction houses. These are jewels rarely seen publicly, and often impossible to replace once sold. Argyle Diamonds also available.
The collection also includes important signed and heritage pieces from iconic houses and makers, alongside extraordinary gemstones sourced from private collections, estates, and discreet international networks unavailable to the traditional retail market.
Unlike traditional luxury retailers, Emilio Jewelry operates as a first-hand dealer directly from the world-renowned GIA Building in New York’s Diamond District, allowing clients to acquire some of the world’s rarest jewels at true wholesale and dealer-level pricing rather than traditional retail markups.
Private appointments and consultations are available via video call or in person in:
• New York
• Palm Beach & South Florida
• California
Local references are available upon request for qualified clients and collectors.
This is not mass luxury.
This is the world behind it.

There are fashion moments and then there are cultural artifacts. The latest auction from Julien’s Auctions transforms the latter into something tangible, inviting fans of And Just Like That… to step directly into the world of Carrie Bradshaw and her orbit.
Running online through April 2026, this highly anticipated sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire over 500 original pieces from the series spanning wardrobe, furniture, and deeply personal set details.
A Closet, A Life, A Story
What makes this auction particularly compelling isn’t just the fashion it’s the storytelling embedded in every object.
Among the most intimate lots are pieces pulled directly from Carrie’s closet arguably the most symbolic space in her universe. One collection includes:
- Personalized wooden hangers marked “C” and “B”
- Designer garment bags (including Alexander McQueen and Valentino)
- A vintage hatbox with vibrant interior lining
- Trinkets, matchbooks, and keepsakes from New York and beyond
These aren’t just props they’re carefully curated extensions of Carrie’s identity, reflecting her history, travels, and emotional landscape.
Fashion, Furniture, and Fiction Collide
4
The auction spans far beyond the closet, capturing the full visual language of the show:
- Furniture & Decor: Pieces from Carrie’s Gramercy townhouse, including lamps, nightstands, and even her now-iconic cat tree
- Wardrobe Highlights: Designer looks from characters like Lisa Todd Wexley and Seema Patel, with labels such as Prada and Manolo Blahnik appearing throughout
- Props & Memorabilia: From Carrie’s fictional memoir “Loved & Lost” to items tied to pivotal storylines including objects from Mr. Big’s final moments
- Set Details: Playful touches like “Hot Fellas” bakery merchandise and Charlotte’s home furnishings bring humor and nostalgia into the mix
Even the smallest objects a wastebasket, a note, a piece of stationery carry the unmistakable imprint of the show’s aesthetic.
More Than an Auction—A Cultural Moment
Beyond the glamour, there’s a deeper layer of meaning. A portion of the proceeds will benefit You Gotta Believe, a New York–based nonprofit focused on finding permanent families for foster youth.
The connection is particularly poignant given the legacy of Willie Garson, whose character Stanford Blatch and real-life advocacy remains closely tied to the organization.
In a moment where archival fashion and pop culture memorabilia are increasingly viewed as collectible investments, this auction sits at the intersection of nostalgia, design, and cultural capital.
Julien’s has built its reputation on elevating celebrity artifacts into museum-worthy pieces, and this sale continues that trajectory offering fans not just objects, but ownership of narrative.
Because with And Just Like That…, the appeal was never just the clothes. It was the way those clothes and spaces told a story about evolving identity, friendship, and reinvention.
And now, for a moment, that story is up for bid.
In a world where luxury often feels mass-produced, Emilio Jewelry stands apart—quietly, confidently, and unapologetically rare. Tucked inside New York’s iconic Gia Building, this exceptional house has built its reputation on one guiding principle: extraordinary stones deserve extraordinary craftsmanship.
The Rarity Factor
At the heart of Emilio Jewelry is an obsession with the exceptional. The brand specializes in sourcing some of the rarest Fancy Color Diamonds & Gemstones in the world, from vivid pink and blue diamonds to untreated Colombian emeralds, Kashmir sapphires, Important Rubies, Paraiba and more.
These are not just beautiful stones—they are investment-grade treasures, often museum-worthy in both size and quality. Think diamonds over eight carats, natural fancy colored stones, and rare gems that collectors actively seek out but rarely find.
What makes this even more compelling? Many of these pieces are not publicly listed. They exist quietly within Emilio’s private vault, reserved for clients who understand that true luxury is often discovered, not displayed.
The Art of the Atelier
Every Emilio piece is handcrafted in-house, in what the brand refers to as its atelier—a space where design meets precision.
This level of craftsmanship allows for something increasingly rare in today’s market: complete customization. Whether reimagining a family heirloom or designing a one-of-a-kind engagement ring, Emilio Jewelry works closely with clients to bring deeply personal visions to life.
The result is jewelry that feels intimate, intentional, and entirely unique—never replicated, never mass produced.
Emilio Jewelry goes beyond traditional retail. Their approach is immersive, offering private viewings, virtual appointments, and even a “Red Carpet Service” designed to bring high jewelry directly to the client wherever you are.
It’s a model that feels more akin to couture than commerce—where each interaction is tailored, and every detail is considered.
And then there are the pieces themselves. From breathtaking diamond necklaces exceeding 40 carats to rare fancy yellow diamond rings, Emilio creations are not simply accessories—they are statements of legacy.
Investment Meets Emotion
What sets Emilio Jewelry apart is its dual identity: collector-level investment and emotional storytelling.
On one hand, these gems hold significant intrinsic value, often appreciating over time due to their rarity. On the other, they become deeply personal objects—symbols of milestones, relationships, and moments that matter.
It’s this balance that defines the brand. Jewelry that is as meaningful as it is magnificent.
The Final Word
In an era where luxury is often loud, Emilio Jewelry embraces a quieter, more refined narrative—one rooted in rarity, craftsmanship, and individuality.
For those who seek more than just sparkle—for those who want pieces with provenance, purpose, and presence—Emilio Jewelry offers something truly special: a world where every stone tells a story, and every piece becomes part of yours.

UNIQLO today announced a new partnership with The New York Public Library, launching alongside the opening of three new NYC locations this season—Bryant Park on March 6, Williamsburg on March 20, and Union Square on April 3. The year‑long partnership builds on UNIQLO’s ongoing commitment to creating positive impact in the communities it serves, reflecting a shared belief in access to knowledge, creativity, and opportunity.
A cultural landmark and knowledge hub for New Yorkers, The New York Public Library offers free access to books and programs that foster learning and connection, and through this partnership, UNIQLO will support world‑class cultural and youth‑focused programming that remains free and open to all—helping to foster a more inspired New York City.
“We are proud to partner with The New York Public Library, whose mission to make knowledge and opportunity accessible to all deeply resonates with us,” said Fuminori Adachi, CEO of UNIQLO USA. “New York City has inspired UNIQLO since we opened our first store here twenty years ago, through its creativity, diversity, and strong sense of community.

In addition to the New York Public Library partnership, UNIQLO’s three new NYC stores will each spotlight the people, creativity, and neighborhoods that shape the city.

There comes a point in a woman’s life when jewelry is no longer about trends.
It is about meaning.
It is about marking the chapters she has lived, the family she has built, the milestones she has reached — and the legacy she is creating.
For NS Lifestyles readers who understand that distinction, Emilio Jewelry in New York City offers something rare: access to truly important jewels.
Not simply beautiful pieces.
But exceptional ones.
✨ A Private, Thoughtful Experience
What truly distinguishes Emilio Jewelry is not just the rarity of the stones, but the experience.
Appointments are private.
Conversations are unhurried.
Guidance is transparent and grounded in deep gemological knowledge.
There is no pressure — only education, perspective, and trust.
For women who value discretion, refinement, and long-term value, this is where important jewelry begins.
💎 The World of Important Jewelry: An Invitation Into Emilio
There is fine jewelry.
And then there is important jewelry.
These are pieces chosen not for attention — but for significance.
The kind acquired quietly. Privately. Intentionally.
The kind that trades hands between collectors, not browsers.
The kind you do not “shop” for — you are invited into.
For NS Lifestyles readers who understand the difference, there is a discreet New York destination that operates in a world few ever see: Emilio Jewelry.
This is not retail.
This is an acquisition.
⸻
💠 A Private World of Rarity
Emilio Jewelry is known among serious collectors as a source for stones that almost never reach the open market.
Goldconda D Flawless diamonds over 12 carats.
Museum-level Fancy Color diamonds — Argyle reds, vivid pinks, extraordinary blues, Green Diamonds, & Purple Diamonds.
Investment-grade emeralds, Rubies, sapphires, Alexandrites, and Paraíba tourmalines of a caliber rarely seen outside major auctions.
These are not pieces you compare online.
They are stones with provenance. Stones with presence. Stones are measured not only in carats but in legacy.
Multi-million-dollar acquisitions are handled with discretion, scholarship, and a level of gemological authority that seasoned collectors immediately recognize.
💠 Precision, Not Presentation
In an era of overexposure and mass luxury, Emilio operates differently.
Every stone is vetted.
Every Diamond or Gemstone is investment-caliber.
Every detail is executed with restraint and mastery.
Collector-level fancy colors that rarely circulate beyond private networks.
Clients are guided with clarity, transparency, and strategic insight — because when acquiring at this level, expertise is not optional.
It is essential.
✨ The NS Lifestyles Private Access
Emilio Jewelry does not advertise in the traditional sense.
Access is selective.
NS Lifestyles readers are being offered something rare:
a private introduction into a world typically reserved for seasoned collectors and established clientele.
Appointments are discreet.
Viewings are curated. Viewings are available worldwide by Appointment.
Conversations are confidential.
This is where acquisitions happen quietly.
Where multi-million-dollar stones are considered thoughtfully.
Where heirlooms begin.
If you are ready to explore important jewelry — the kind you cannot simply “find” — NS Lifestyles can facilitate a private consultation with Emilio Jewelry in New York City. EMAIL ME for your exclusive introduction.
Because the most significant moments in life deserve pieces that few others will ever even see.
