An over-the-top gift that’s not over your credit limit – that was my reason for creating this gift guide. I’ll be honest, I’ll take an international trip or that piece of furniture I’ve been eyeing long before I’ll ask for a designer bag or something of that nature. That said, I love designer items just as much as the next person, and sometimes you need a luxe gift to impress that certain someone in your life. Everything in this guide is a chic designer find, but under $1,000. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 Is there anything chicer than a Chanel brooch? Rebag has tons of vintage, authenticated ..read more

If you read my blog posts or follow me on Instagram, you know I’m always a proponent of clean products that are good for you and good for the planet. I’ve posted many times about my favorite “green” products and brands (check out this post and this post), and I love that more and more brands are taking a more eco-friendly approach to their products. I personally find that these sustainably-minded brands are also more chic and minimalist than their counterparts, so they fit into my lifestyle in more ways than one. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites below! 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Let’s star ..read more

Every year I procrastinate with my holiday shopping. I don’t even try to pretend that I won’t do it again next year at this point. One thing I know is that I always have Amazon Prime to save me from myself. Which is honestly fitting because I rely on it the other 364 days a year, so why would Christmas be any different? I’ve rounded up some great Amazon finds that are perfectly giftable and currently scheduled to arrive before Christmas! 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 I’m obsessed with this ribbed glassware which is my most recent Amazon find! They look so similar to the Ferm Living version ..read more

Last year, I shared a gift guide with my holiday wish list, so I thought it would only be fitting to share a gift guide with a few of my favorite things this year. All of the below products or brands are ones I discovered this year and use and love religiously. I hope you love them as much as I do! 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 Anytime I post Judy on my Instagram stories, I get tons of link requests! I love that she gives both vintage and modern vibes and she’s the perfect addition to my minimalist home décor. Also, check out my post on how to make a display pedestal for her for under $100 ..read more

I know everyone says they always forget about the stockings, but to be honest stockings are one of my favorite traditions every year. Since none of my siblings or I have kids yet, our Christmas mornings as adults usually consist of a few mimosas and laughing hysterically as we open our stockings. I’ve rounded up some fun stocking stuffer finds under $25 below! 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 Hear me out – you need to be using a Gua Sha tool for facial sculpting. I use mine multiple times per week and I swear by how it helps me depuff by stimulating lymphatic drainage. This chic onyx sto ..read more

All product selections and opinions are my own. Summer is drawing to a close, which means we’re in for a good month or so of torture from Mother Nature’s seasonal whims. In the best of times, warm late-summer days fade into cooler evenings. But the more likely scenario is that of unpredictable weeks of sweltering heat followed by a cold snap with some not-at-all-helpful 40% chances of rain thrown in between. Deciding what to wear for any occ ..read more

PSA: It’s not just contouring. Sky high cheekbones and chiseled jawlines are ubiquitous these days on Instagram, and I’m personally a huge fan of the ultra-defined look. Truthfully, I’ve been a fan ever since Olivia Wilde debuted her gorgeous angular face on The O.C. many moons ago (IYKYK). But alas, no matter how many YouTube tutorials I watched, or how many celeb-loved contour palettes I purchased, I simply could not achieve the look on my own. So I decided to get a little *help* from my friendly neighborhood Skin Pharm office.  As you all know, I’m no stranger to Botox and lip filler ..read more

All product selections and opinions are my own. Maybe it’s because I spent summer 2020 in sweats, but I have been especially eager to *enhance* my summer wardrobe this year. The trends I’m most excited about are the summer knits and crochet ensembles you’ve seen popping up all over your Instagram feed. I love these looks because they still capture the laidback vibes of 2020 (it’s like the fashion powers-that-be knew we weren’t ready for real ..read more

If you caught my recent post with Max’s homemade bagel recipe, you know we leaned in hard to the bread-making trend that dominated quarantine. Once he mastered the bagel dough, the natural next step was to move on to pizza. If you follow me on Instagram, you most likely caught some of our pizza making trials and competitions on my stories. Anything to make the covid year more interesting, right?  Now that summer is here and we’re able to entertain on our patio, we’ve once again started to make an unholy amount of pizza each week. That’s right, we’re not backyard barbecue people ..read more
