At Home With Homeware Founder Jamie McKillop of Lazy Jamie

“On the nights that I’m not having dinner with my husband, it feels like such a treat to get to order takeout and watch wherever shows I want to. Our TV tray table elevates that moment—literally and figuratively. There are a lot of more unexpected uses for the TV tray—like doing work from the couch or using it next to the bed or bath. The tray is removable, so you essentially get two pieces in one. You can use the tray on its own to do work in bed or set up everything in the kitchen and bring it over to the TV tray table.”

“Despite having a home brand, I am not the most domestic person. With our spiral cheese knife set, you can buy some cheeses and crackers, put this out, and it automatically looks like you tried harder than you did. We offer a personalized engraving option, so it’s a perfect hostess gift or holiday gift for someone who likes to entertain.” 

“I have been looking for a sleep mask that has a hollowed out area around your eyes. This is the best one I’ve found because it stays snugly in place and the silk protects your hair and skin. I use it every night and the blackout effect helps me sleep better, but of course it’s perfect for a plane or travel. I’d throw it in the washer after taking it on a plane.”

“There is nothing worse than walking in New York and getting caught in a rainstorm and having to buy the jankiest umbrella you’ve ever used for $20. I love this one because it’s small enough to keep in my bags at all times and it’s actually durable and cute. Hot Tip: Never throw out the sleeve that it comes in because if it’s a little wet, you can roll it up and slide the sleeve on before throwing the whole thing in your bag instead of on a dirty restaurant floor.”

“I am addicted to any t-shirts from this brand. The quality is unmatched—they are really thick and sturdy, and the fit is considered. These are perfect layering t-shirts, but you can also throw one on with your favorite pair of jeans, a belt, and loafers…and you have a great casual outfit. Less is more.”

“I have a pet peeve of applying makeup and seeing pilling of dry skin afterwards. Using this has really helped eliminate that. I put it on immediately so the skin is still moist, and then I put on my tinted moisturizer, which contains SPF. It’s all I really wear day to day.”

“Beyond being a very lovely person, Sofie Pavitt really is the acne whisperer. This is like a back-to-basics skin bootcamp for anyone with problematic skin. I like that it’s effective but also gentle, so it doesn’t strip down your skin, which can also cause a whole other slew of problems. She also has an ingredient checker on her site, which I use for any product to make sure it won’t clog my pores before purchasing.”

“I am known for always sleeping in a pajama set, and my favorites are from Eberjey. They are light but super soft so you don’t get too hot. I particularly like this set with the whipstitch along the edge, which makes them feel and look more luxe.”

“I think that most throw blankets are ugly. I get that some are more for comfort than display, but I don’t want to feel like I have to hide them every time someone comes over. These ones are like a work of art, and they’re actually really soft, too. I unfortunately don’t get to use them much because my cat is always sleeping on one.”

“My skin freaked out when I started spending more time in NY than LA. I’m convinced it’s because of the old pipes in my building. I didn’t want to take any chances, and these towels give me that super clean feeling after washing my face that you just don’t have with a bath towel.”
