Carbone Copy

The Our Lady of Rocco clothing line offers throwback appeal.

- By Elise Hannum and Yasmin Gagne

New York City-based brand La Ligne's collaboration with chef Mario Carbone melds vintage tailoring with street style. Inspired by Carbone's father's outfits from the 1980s, the collection includes polos and pinstripe pants (from $125, ourladyofrocco.com). Pair it with a self-cleaning water bottle for a day out on the town ($85, livelarq.com).

Point and Shoot

This light camera ($120, papershootcamera.com) looks like a classic Polaroid, but doesn't need to have photos developed. Instead, snapshots can be uploaded directly to your phone. Carry it in your bag with a clear, chic German lip balm from Augustinus Bader as seen on the model ($40, violetgrey.com).
