    Vince Black Pants

    These tapered black pants from Vince look killer with a pair of loafers but the best part? The front looks like a classic tailored pleated pant while the back reveals a pull-on elastic waistline. They’re like a black pant mullet — business in the front, COMFORT in the back. I own them in two colorways.

     Mrs. Bakewell’s Tea Box

    If you’re a lover of afternoon tea like I am, this tea box from Mrs. Bakewell’s is just the thing. The gift box includes six of Mrs. Bakewell’s classic English scones, a jar of Bonne Maman strawberry preserves, a jar of Coombe Castle clotted cream, Twinings tea, and wooden mini spoons. It’d make a perfect hostess or housewarming gift for and tea or The Crown fans in your life.

    Hester Bly Maxi Skirt

    I wore this vibrant Hester Bly maxi skirt this past week and it is absolutely as comfortable as it is colorful. Take a scroll through the whole Hester Bly website and give an extra minute or two to the brand’s story — the collection is feminine and empowering, just like the feminists who inspired the brand’s name (Nellie Bly and Lady Hester Stanhope) and the inspiring historical figures who inspire the design of each collection.

    Handbag Light

    Have you spent 27% of your adult life fishing through your purse looking for things? Same. I’ve shared these purse organizers before, but this handbag light is the next tool in your arsenal if you also struggle to find things in your own bag. The light is small, lightweight and motion-activated — perfect for travel!

    Repetto Cut-Out Flats

    Industry insiders know that no one does flats better than Repetto and I think these beauties — which come in black and tan — are such a chic alternative to the slingback. There are few things I love more than a classic slingback in the springtime but that single strap around the back of the foot can sometimes make your Achilles ache after a few hours (not to mention, give you a blister). These flats offer a supportive heel with cut out sides that still provide a nod to warm weather.

    Acrylic Potty Step

    With children come deep feelings of joy but also, lots of colorful, plastic toys that ruin your vibe. And, when those toys (and shoes and games and snack traps) don’t go with the décor we so lovingly picked out, we must find solutions. This acrylic squatty potty step is perfect for little ones who need a boost to get to the potty but the clear, minimal design makes it unobtrusive to your interior style. Wins all around.

  • Smythson Card Case Wallet

    Smythson Card Case Wallet

    As some of you may remember, I ditched my mammoth wallet years ago for this Saint Laurent card case and have never gone back. I love having everything in one compact little card case that’s small enough to be thrown in my tiniest clutch or a side pocket of my largest tote. The only way I could conceive of it being improved upon is with the addition of a top zipper which is exactly what this Smythson one offers. The zipper pocket is a great add for coins or small items that need protection without overstuffing the case.

  • My Desert Island Hair Volumizing Products

    My Desert Island Hair Volumizing Products

    I’ve been asked a few times now about the volumizers I use on my hair. Assuming this desert island has electricity, this is my process: Towel dry hair. Then apply this volumizing tonic and phomollient (both from AVEDA) through the roots of damp hair. Blow dry in the opposite direction/upside down. Once hair is dry, apply this Living Proof dry shampoo through roots and style with either hot rollers or my Dyson Airwrap. Personally, I don’t find the dry shampoo makes a very big difference in the volume, but it helps lengthen the lifespan of my blowout — especially if…

    Hanging Heart Sugar Cubes

    These heart-shaped sugar cubes are the sweetest — literally and figuratively. The charming cane sugar cubes have been molded into heart shapes with a divot so they can be perched off the lip of your tea or coffee cup. They’d make an adorable hostess gift or addition to afternoon tea. They’re also perfect for Valentine’s Day or a loving touch to your morning coffee.

  • My Favorite Exfoliants

    Latest

    My Favorite Exfoliants

    The ticket to a new face? Right this way: My favorite exfoliating combo is the Caviar Lime Acid Peel from Lancer followed by Dermologica’s Microfoliant Exfoliator. I do this combo once a week and swear it gives me a new face without any of the redness or puffiness associated with other deep exfoliants. I put the Lancer peel mask on for 15 minutes, which seems to loosen all of the dead skin and then the Dermalogica Microfoliant sloughs it off effortlessly to reveal baby soft skin.
