Beth Slifer of Slifer Designs in Edwards shares her current faves, from lighting to hostess gifts.
CURRENT JEWELRY TREND:
A 26” baroque pearl necklace and double-strand bracelet are both tailored and dressy.
JACKET:
My favorite all-weather jackets are by Uniqlo. This Japanese company has got style, color, and price just right. Women’s Light Warm Padded Parka, $59.90
PERFUME:
Cabotine de Grès, $23/3.4 ounces eau de parfum spray, fragrancenet.com
ARTIST:
I love the way local painter Wayne Wolfe captures the magical beauty of nature in Colorado.
MUSIC:
The summer music festival Bravo! Vail at the Ford Amphitheater (June 23 to Aug. 6). World-class talent delivered by the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Dallas Symphony Orchestra, bravovail.org
COLOR:
I am so happy that Serenity is the Pantone color for 2016. It is very similar to the Ocean blue that Matouk (another fave) uses for trim on their sheets.
WEDDING GIFT:
Glass salad bowls by Simon Pearce. The square Woodbury bowls come in four sizes and are elegant and simple to fit any style or taste. $75, $100, $145, and $200, sliferdesigns.com

Mercantile Dining & Provision in Union Station
LIGHTING:
Almost everything by Visual Comfort & Co. is well made and well priced. They carry top sellers by current design stars such as Alexa Hampton and Suzanne Kasler.
SKIN CARE LINE:
I have depended upon La Mer Moisturizing Cream for 25 years. Créme de la Mer Moisturizing Cream, $170/1 ounce, neimanmarcus.com.
HOSTESS GIFT:
Michael Aram’s table accessories are popular with all ages and offer many appropriate price points.
LUGGAGE:
After having Louis Vuitton luggage stolen between Nantucket airport and Boston’s Logan airport, I switched to Tumi and Victorinox. Both are well made and work perfectly. tumi.com, swissarmy.com
