With contributions from the likes of Tracey Emin, John Baldessari, Ryan McGinley and more, experimental book “Feelings: Soft Art” explores contemporary art with a focus on emotions and sensual, gut reactions. Via interviews, short essays and (of course) plenty of imagery, readers are reminded that art isn’t always purely intellectual—rather it’s meant to evoke very human, personal emotions.

Galisfy’s line of accessories are handmade in Tel Aviv and don’t break the bank. Designed by Gal Vardi, each retro piece strikes with personality, from ’60s free spirit boho Jane Birkin to today’s multi-choker, body-chained Rihanna and inspirations like Art Deco furniture and YSL vintage editorials. She has a penchant for chokers, as she explains to us: “The choker can help define and frame what’s most important—your face. They have a structured feel to them, so combining that with soft finishes to the design can give a sexy yet strong look.”

Perhaps only to be used on rare occasions by a niche group, it’s a card that we certainly could have sent a few times in our lives.
