Our Favorite Things: Minimalism
We're constantly inspired by how very little it takes to make the boldest of statements. THIS is how Covet + Lou rolls with Minimalism.
Our Favorite Things: Haven's Kitchen
A jack of all trades, Haven's Kitchen is a cooking school, cafe, and an event venue with a focus on sustainability and seasonal foods. Set in a large carriage house in New York City, it's the kind of place where you feel at home even when you know no one. Covet + Lou recently had the pleasure of setting up...
Our Favorite Things: Camp Wandawega
Even though summer is just winding down, I am already feeling nostalgic about the months the twins and I just spent in Wisconsin. Clear and fresh air, state fair culinary delights, and endless time with family all contributed to a magical visit. Next year, Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, Wisconsin is at the top of my list of Must's. Originally The...
Our Favorite Things: Tune-Yards Nikki Nack
Merrill Garbus’s singular identity and powerful lungs are the driving force behind Tune-Yards: a fantastically fun and engaging band whose third album, Nikki Nack, was recently released to critical acclaim. Raised between New York and Connecticut and a graduate of Smith College, Garbus and her band mates have carved out a unique space in the crowded landscape of indie folk-pop....
Our Favorite Things: The Southwest

I was raised on a steady diet of furniture, art, and home accessories from the mid-century modern design era. My parents are still fanatical about Saarinen, Eames, and Bertoia, and their influence shows whenever I spot a mid-century modern piece at a thrift shop or estate sale. So for a born junkie like myself, Palm Springs’ Modernism Week is the...
Our Favorite Things: The W.C. Russell Moccasin Company
The traditional 10-year wedding anniversary gift is tin. My husband bucked tradition and gave me these amazing boots—handcrafted just for me—from the Russell Moccasin Co., based in the tiny town of Berlin, Wisconsin, and around since 1898. Get your own pair: russellmoccasin.com. /Tina
Our Favorite Things: Man Repeller, the book
Leandra Medine wears her retainer to bed. This is just one of the many qualities that have earned her the (self-ascribed) moniker Man Repeller, defined on her website of the same name as “outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive mode that may result in repelling members of the opposite sex.” What we love most about Leandra, who writes about learning to love fashion—both the hits...
