Having worked as accessories director and senior fashion editor at Vogue, fashion director at style.com, and senior design director for accessories at Polo Ralph Lauren, (with consulting gigs for Estée Lauder and Clinique on the side), Lauren Du Pont brings an unerring eye to her work and her life. Today, the creative director for resort-wear company Jack Rogers leads a life as fashionable as the shoes and apparel she designs. When taking a break from her busy schedule, which recently included opening the new Jack Rogers store on Manhattan’s Madison Avenue and hunting for vintage textiles, Du Pont heads East for some shopping on Newtown Lane and these 10 favorite indulgences.
