Things I Love

What I Love Right Now: All the things Dielmann Sotheby’s Agent Ted Wight is loving right now 

He’s been one of the top brokers with Dielmann Sotheby’s for more than 15 years. Ted Wight’s sophisticated eye is also evident on his blog, Saint Louis Style which features stories about trends in real estate, travel and food. For this summer, he’s fallen in love all over again with all things local to St. Louis.

For my skin: A Perfect World by Origins

Midwest summers won’t wreak havoc on my skin! I’m always armed with “A Perfect World” face moisturizer by Origins. The cream is perfect for both morning hydration and evening relief from environmental aggressors. The antioxidant-rich White Tea protects my skin from infrared rays while I’m on the go. @origins 

On My Lips… Not My Hips! 

It’s a guilty pleasure I’m willing to put in extra time at the gym for: Clementine’s Maple Bourbon ice cream with candied pecan pieces! The only thing better than this booze-infused treat is a real cocktail amongst friends. But this pick me up will do until social plans resume like we were all used to pre-pandemic! @clementinescreamery 

Support local shops with Woodberry Soaps.

In a time when fabulous local brands need our patronage now more than ever, I’m proud to support Woodberry soaps which are handmade here in St. Louis (using only natural and vegan ingredients). Lemongrass Detox and Eucalyptus Spice Woodberry are my personal favorites. @woodberrycompany 

On my wall: Anything from Houska Gallery.

Spending more time at home can make one want to spruce up the walls and bring in some fresh art! Houska Gallery by pop artist Charles Houska in the Central West End is open by appointment only, and 24/7 for window looks at what is hot in contemporary art right now. @houskagallery 

On My Hips: This Tom Ford belt is a wardrobe essential.

It’s as if Tom Ford made this belt just for me– the black leather with signature “T” buckle might stand for Tom, but it’s definitely my go-to “Ted” belt. It’s a sleek look for anything from jeans to a tux… a definite must-have for every man’s wardrobe. @tomford
