Telsha Anderson-Boone’s favorite part of discovering a new designer or tracking down a rare vintage find—for her, anything “old Celine”—may be sharing it. “I was always the person who said, ‘I got this from here—you should get it, too!'” she tells BAZAAR.com. That’s a small part of why her year-old New York City boutique, T.A., has thrived even with a pandemic and ensuing store closures in the background. Not only does Anderson-Boone have an eye for clothes that make us want to get dressed again, whether it’s a Christopher John Rogers blouse or Ph5 knitwear; her enthusiasm for her favorite pieces is catching.
Between building rapport with designers in their showrooms and DMing with shoppers on Instagram, Anderson-Boone is building a personal wardrobe that can “transcend time and I can wear for years from now,” she says.” But she can be won-over by items stocked for T.A. customers who aren’t necessarily herself: “I’ll stare at a piece for several days in the store like, ‘Should I buy this?'” she laughs. Her Lucky 13 pieces will inspire the same must-have-it reaction, from the decor headed to her new apartment to the pieces she’s already taken home from her boutique.
1 Lipstick in Earth Dust
“This is my go-to red shade. It’s a lipstick but it still has a glossy texture to it. I’m also big on packaging when it comes to beauty, and the gold top and silver bottom are my favorite thing to whip out during dinner. It’s so Miranda Priestly chic.”
2 Gradient Dot Long Oversized Shirt
Christopher John Rogers
“Christopher John Rogers does a lot of stuff that has a lot of intention behind it. Anything of his I will always, always love. The colors [on this shirt] are so vibrant but it still has a subtleness to it. I think that’s because the middle has darker colors while the sides have brighter colors. With a pair of pants, jeans or slacks, it’s a great shirt.”
3 Michelle Micro Hoops
Bernard James
“I wore these for my wedding. [Bernard James] made a custom pair of these and another custom pair of micro diamond hoops. Then we launched this pair in the store a couple months later. I’m not normally an earrings person, but he made them so small it felt like nothing was on my ears. I was dancing until 3 A.M. at my wedding and they didn’t move at all!”
4 Norr Mälarstrand 01
Nordic Knots
“[My husband] Justin and I just moved to an apartment in Dumbo that has zero furniture—nothing at all. This is one of the things I’m going to buy for the apartment and it’s one of the most gorgeous. I love the green and black together.”
5 Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15
Bobbi Brown
“I’ve been using this since I graduated college. I’m not a makeup-heavy person—it’s usually a lip, mascara, and that’s it. This is the only foundation that isn’t heavy but still gives me full coverage. One thing I love about Bobbi Brown is I can wear it from 8 A.M. until midnight.”
6 Jacqueline Chocolate Brown Glass Vase
“One of my closest friends got this for me as a housewarming gift. I thought it was small, then it came in the mail and it’s humongous! I have a lot of warm neutrals and honeys in my home, so it fits perfectly. I’m so glad my friend got this for me—I could not believe the price when she told me.”
7 Tbilisi Twill Utilitarian Coat
“I’m so excited to wear this when it gets a little warmer. One, I was attracted to the color. Two, the fit was incredible. It gives you this fitted silhouette yet with oversized shoulder moment.”
8 Radiance Face Oil
“I use this every single night during the wintertime. It’s the perfect thing to allow my skin to have some moisture. It helps with any breakouts I might have. I have eczema on the sides of my mouth, and it clears it up instantly—in a day. I use their cleanser as well.”
9 HardWear Link Bracelet
Tiffany & Co.
“I love Tiffany and this collection. The HardWear sets are literal goals. And everything they’ve been doing the past couple of months, with who they’ve been featuring in their campaigns and editorials, is hitting the nail on the head.”
10 Clyde Mahogany Media Console
“I just bought this and I cannot wait to have it. It’ll sit across from our sofa and our vintage coffee table.”
11 Apartamento: The Modern Architecture of Cadaqués: 1955–71
“I’m just a huge fan of book collecting, especially when they’re about architecture or home decor. When I’m feeling least inspired, I go through the books I have at home and garner inspiration that way, and this one will definitely help with that.”
12 North-South Matting Shopping Bag
“I love a good, summer-ish bag that can still be worn in the fall. And it’ll fit everything I need.”
13 Gamia Vase
Willem Van Hooff
“I’ve been a huge fan of Claude Home. It’s a big thing for me to support small, Black-owned, and women-run businesses. I think this vase is just gorgeous. I love the quirky shapes to it and it’ll definitely match the decor of my and Justin’s new home. A staple piece for a staple moment in our lives.”
