Christie's Auctions the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Cartier Tank in New York

There are a few accessories that Jackie Kennedy never left the house without: her oversized sunnies, shoulder bag, and Cartier tank. On June 21, Christie’s New York will auction off her personalized timepiece as well as a painting created by the first lady herself. The pair is estimated to sell at between $60,000 and 120,000 but the historical value is priceless—the watch was a gift from Prince Stanislaw Albert Radziwill and is engraved "Stas to Jackie 23 feb. 63 2:05 AM to 9:35 PM,” referring to the beginning and end of that infamous 1963 50-mile hike in Palm Beach. christies.com.

Saje Brings Holistic Wellness Offerings to New York

Saje, a Vancouver-based natural wellness brand, opens its first East Coast outpost on June 6 with a light-filled sanctuary in New York City’s bustling SoHo neighborhood. The brand, which was founded in Canada 25 years ago by Kate Ross and Jean-Pierre LeBlanc and began its initial U.S. expansion in California last fall, offers 14 different natural remedy lines (Head, Sleep, Digestion, Tantra, etc.) with a number of related products in each, including blended oils, face and body mists, and bath soaks. A visit to Saje is as much a retail experience as it is an educational one, with sales associates eager to explain the healing benefits of oils as well as share lifestyle advice for healthier habits. Our pick? The TSA-safe Pocket Farmacy, a collection of the brand’s original oil blends for common travel ailments such as headaches, coughs, colds, and stress. —Erin Lengas
