Kitsch Ponyfull

Leanne Barlow posted about this hair accessory in her perfect pony vid and it stopped me in my tracks. Since a high ponytail is my #2 most useful dirty hair trick behind my beloved baseball caps, I ordered one immediately. Available in black and blonde, the Ponyfull is a magical little tool that adds volume and thickness to any ponytail or topknot, no extensions to hair pieces required. Such an easy, comfortable way to add a boost to any updo.

Emile Henry Storage Bowl

When I saw Jackie Oshry share this brilliant (and gorgeous) storage bowl, I ordered it immediately. This ceramic bowl keeps your produce fresher longer by providing two compartments including a bottom storage compartment for root vegetables and onions that aren’t necessarily “pretty” to have in the top section on display. It’s available in 10.6” or 14.1” diameters, so you can store the uglies (no offense, potatoes) on the bottom and pretties on the top (I’m looking at you, pears and pomegranates). It comes in five different colors and is sold at a ton of retailers like Saks etc., but Amazon…

Sleeveless Cableknit Turtleneck Sweater

I shared this sleeveless cableknit turtleneck from Talbots in pink last week here and am so obsessed with it, I ordered the black too. The soft wool cableknit is a timeless classic and because it’s sleeveless, it’s much easier to layer under blazers because you’re not fighting the weird arm bulk. And, with a little more skin showing, it feels dressier at night, in the pink or black… or ivory. Did I mention it’s also available in ivory? Dare I collect them all?

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches

February may technically be the shortest month, but with holiday parties and travel and family get-togethers, December FLIES by. An unexpected blemish can cause unnecessary stress to an already busy time of year, so I always keep these Hero Cosmetics’ Might Patches stocked in my beauty cabinet (and travel bag). They contain hydrocolloid, a medical-grade gel that draws gunk out, so your blemish is flattened and less noticeable in just 6-8 hours. And, they’re so easy to use: just stick the patch on the spot and peel it off hours later to reveal a visibly flatter, smaller, less-red blemish. I…

Personalized Brass Plaques

I shared a video of the girls’ room last week and this brass nameplate was arguably the buzziest addition. You can customize it by choosing the plaque size, the font, the size of the font, everything. I was inspired by brass plates used in hotels and thought it would be fun to add a cheeky version to the bedroom door of our little Scudellari Sisters™.

AG1 + Discount Code

I don’t think anyone is interested in what I eat in a day (spoiler: it’s mostly Wiley Wallaby licorice), but I will let you know something I drink every day: AG1. One, daily scoop of AG1 contains 75 vitamins, minerals, stress adaptogens, pre/probiotics, antioxidants, and whole-food sourced mushrooms and superfoods. It promotes gut health, supports immunity, boosts energy, and helps with recovery. Rich and I have been taking AG1 every single morning for the past few years and it’s made such a difference. If you use my link, you’ll save $20 and get 5 FREE travel packs. AG1 also offers…

Another Tomorrow Classic Black Dress

This wool dress from Another Tomorrow stopped me in my tracks when I saw it on Kristin Kennedy. The boatneck, the seamed waist, the V back, it’s a thing of true beauty. This dress is giving 1950s Audrey Hepburn meets 1990s Kate Moss, AKA timeless. It’s an investment but one you’ll wear forever. Saks is also currently offering $50 off every $200 with Code DECGETSF.

Volumizing Hot Rollers

I’m planning on posting a hair tutorial soon (I need more hours in the day!) but until then, I wanted to alert you that the T3 hot rollers I use DAILY are currently on sale. T3 may sound like the sequel in the Terminator franchise, and the HeatCore technology in these curlers may make you feel like a cybernetic time traveler because they heat up fast to create volume, body, and shine. Important note: instead of using the plastic clamps that come with these curlers (that can cause your hair to crimp) I use these metal u-clips from Amazon. TRUST.…

Mini Vacuum Bag Sealer

Has your spouse ever opened a bag of pretzels and because they didn’t close it properly, the remainder of the pretzels went stale? Same. Recently, I ordered this mini bag sealer, a rechargeable little gadget that uses heat to seal plastic snack bags and also has a blade function to reopen the package easily. It is the perfect stocking stuffer to keep your chips crunchy and your marriage intact.
