8 Things | Nov 11

I just got home from the quickest last minute trip down south to LA for my art and design fix. I’m all for spontaneity!

I always think I can fit more in then is actually possible with all of the driving around in Los Angeles… but I still managed to pop into a few galleries (and an early preview of the new Sarah Brook Gallery which officially opens this weekend), grabbed drinks and dinner with friends at Cafe Stella (always a fun vibe, love that bar) and met the Dorsey team before heading to the airport. A highlight which definitely put me in the holiday mood to wear all of the bling and sparkle!

I walked onto the plane with just a tote bag which I was very proud of. All about the minimal packing! This is the bag I carry which a lot of you asked about. I’ve owned it for a couple years now and it still looks brand new / has worn so well. I also have this bag which  is a major splurge I know but so so beautiful. The Row just does the best minimal luxe leather / suede bags. I looove it in this blue or brown as well. And I wore just one look. One sweater that I wore both days with jeans (similar style — love this look, size down) and a blazer during the day and black pants at night.

Okay so that’s what’s up with me! Usually I do a #10 Things Monthly List but I just have 8 for you today… ha, a few things of late! xx

Holiday Shop

I started a Holiday Shop for you this week. Including some pieces I own and love and my personal wishlist. I’m planning to continue to add to it, along with this Cozy Mode assortment and this under $200 gift ideas. I hope it’s helpful –– these are always fun for me to curate! But please let me know more of what you’re looking for or want!

The Striped Sweater Hunt

I feel like I’ve heard this saying before or maybe it just rings true to me – that the classics are always the hardest to find. Enter, the perfect classic black and white striped sweater.* And this one too in camel… I’m such a fan of a wider sleeve like this and included it in my Holiday Shop as it’s on my personal wishlist.

* Which is also why we made a classic white and black sweater for Wrel last year! Remember? Always on the hunt.

Best of Clean Beauty

I shared 7 of my favorite clean beauty heroes with Goop.

A few products I always restock are: Goop’s GoopGlow Microderm Exfoliator (the best… I have used for years and like to keep it in the shower for daily exfoliation). For a deeper exfoliation I like these Glycolic Acid Overnight Peel Pads which I use once a week (if I have any breakouts going on I always wake up with clearer skin). Westman Atelier (everything — pretty much all the makeup I wear)… and more in the story here!

On Holiday Dressing

With holiday party season coming up if you’re looking for a wow dress or statement party piece, the Self-Portrait x Mytheresa Exclusive Capsule is pretty fun… also this Black Tie Edit! I love this dress for an especially sexy moment and this similar one too. More Holiday Party Mode favorites here. I’m really feeling getting super dressed up this season… I’m so curious if you are too? Or are you leaning fun heeled moment and cozy sweater with bling? Let me know!

Styling Inspo | Amy Smilovic of Tibi

I’ve been loving / freshly inspired by Tibi Founder and Creative Director, Amy Smilovic on Instagram. I’ve been deep diving her styling videos. I especially love that she gives great tips on restyling pieces you already own and how to incorporate trends in a way that feel like you. (If you want to).

Kids Holiday PJs

Ah, have you seen these sweet monogrammed nightgowns from Dôen? I always get special holiday pjs for R & W this time of year and I’m thinking of getting these for both Willow and I. Willow loves her nightgowns and as she’s getting a little older she thinks it’s so special to match with me which I love! And I like to get Petite Plume pjs for the two of them to match as well.

Dorsey Bling Bling

I was just in LA and spent the morning at the Dorsey HQ getting to try on some of the pieces I’ve been obsessing over and I can’t rave about this bracelet enough. It has such a great weight to it and looks way more expensive than it is. Would be gorgeous for this holiday season’s bling! It’s on my personal wishlist at the moment. Also dreaming of this emerald moment for the holidays! Omg it’s such a stunner in person. You also can’t go wrong with the Kate. Such a classic look and looks great if you want to layer it. And I’m loving all of their earrings… for a statement ear story.

Longer Black Coat

I went on a deep dive hunt for my girlfriend to track down the perfect longer black coat for her –– and you just can’t go wrong with this one. It’s so chic, classic and I love that it hits longer which is the look this season. A beautiful one to have and wear forever. More sizes here, here, and here.

A few other black coat options I rounded up for her included: this onethis one, this one, and this one for more of a splurge but that super cool boxier look.
