Nandita Khanna is a stylish, sweet sophisticate. She also has a killer resume. Having written and edited at a few of my favorite publications (Departures, Conde Nast Traveler, Town & Country), she’s now the Deputy Editor of Lifestyle Mirror– the digital brainchild of Emanuele Della Valle that’s launching next week! Nandita and I met earlier this year over risotto and rosé and have been friends ever since. Her picks are polished and timeless, not that I’m surprised…

What Khanna Would Love to Give: My boyfriend, Brandon, is a beautiful photographer and has an incredible collection of old cameras including one his grandfather used when he was stationed in Meitze, Germany. A strap like this, which has such a vintage feel to it would look striking even on a new Canon point-and-shoot.

What Khanna Would Love to Get: I came across this illustrator Jane Mount while I was doing market work for the launch of my new project Lifestyle Mirror. Being a fashion writer myself, I was particularly taken to this selection of fashion books that she assembled. I would like to get it framed on my new desk. If you have a bit more time, she’ll do a custom shelf for you too where you can hand-pick the books yourself.
