MODEL HOLIDAY favorites

We asked three models we love — Paige Reifler, Bola Edun and Karol Santos — to share their favorite holiday memories and what’s on their wishlists this year. Here it is, in their own words. 

PAIGE REIFLER 

What you do: Model

Three things we should know about you: I’m from New York. I make a mean mulled wine. I’ll be celebrating the holidays for the first time West Coast-style this year! 

How do you holiday? Surrounded by family, food and friends. Lots of love, lots of wine and a shared admiration for seasonal “ugly” knitwear. 

What is your best holiday memory of your MOTHER? My mom and I turn doing the dishes into a post-meal “dance party.” She’s a dancing queen and I’ll cherish this unintentional tradition forever. 

What’s on your wish list?

The High Waisted Rider Ankle in Not Guilty. Love these because you can wear them with a sneaker, boot or throw on a heal. 

The Chin Up Tank. These tank tops are it. Say no more. Period. 

The Rambler Sneak is on my wishlist because I’m always on the hunt for a pair of true straight-leg jeans that aren’t too skinny, not too wide, not too short, but just right. Pair them with The Back Road Jacket and you’ll be the coolest chick in the room. 

I love a polo layered with a vest or just on its own with a pair of great jeans. The La Paz polo is definitely on my wishlist and ticks all the marks. 

If you don’t know what to get your friend, get them the On The Pulse Flask — it will either look great on their mantle or come in handy at that awkward family Christmas dinner. 

BOLA EDUN

What you do: Model and creative

Three things we should know about you: I’m a fashion, art and music enthusiast. I enjoy curating fashion pieces. I’m fascinated by rocks and their formations, and I enjoyed climbing a particular “Olumo Rock” a lot growing up back home in Abeokuta, Nigeria. 

What’s on your wish list?

The Skippety Ankle In Wax On, Wax Off is on my wishlist because firstly it’s [faux] leather. The color is also a major selling point for me as I love my neutral colors. I love the fit and how slouchy it sits — it’s not figure hugging, so it gives room for movement. it’s a perfect fit for a casual day out. 

The Rowdy in Black. This is on my wishlist because a tee is a staple in my wardrobe, and it’s an oversized, well-cut tee with a round neckline and perfect length sleeves. It’s perfect for lazy day styling and a casual day out. 

The color palette of The Long Drop Jumper first caught my eye, the fabric looks soft, it’s an oversized fit with ribbed hem, and this is very much my style. I would have fun styling it both during fall and winter. 

I have The Knock Out Roller Hover sweatpants on my wishlist because I like that they flare, the color is somewhere between mustard and yellow, and I like the elastic waist and the drawstrings being a different color. It does look like it would feel cozy, and I love cozy fits.

The Maiami Brioche Cardigan. This colorful, delicate-looking sweater is a piece I definitely need in my wardrobe as the colors and the knitting are very intriguing, and the balloon sleeves and ribbed ends give it more structure that I love. It’s perfect for anytime of the year for me.

The Shawl Collar Timber Jacket is a perfect oversized jacket that would keep me very cozy on winter days. The contrast in fabric and color is also very much a selling point for me, as well as the cut of the collar — it is just perfect.
