The Aritzia Effortless pants are a winner! Comfy, versatile and machine washable. And they come in a dozen colors and 4 lengths!

I am wearing a size 6 high-rise in and the length “regular”. I will exchange them for a short. I am 5’6” but have a long waist and shorter legs.

They look like wool but are a poly-b cotton blend. Very soft!!

My favorite Athleta pieces are on sale! Get up to 70% off + an extra 30% off sale items, January 14 to 21.

Athleta clothing is my go-to for long travel days, when I dress for comfort but also want to look put together. I am wearing Athleta’s Elation Ultra High Rise Shine Leggings (gifted), the Softluxe Built-In Bra Tank (gifted), and the Pranayama Restore Wrap (color truffle XS).
The leggings have medium compression which makes them flattering, yet still soft and comfy. I sized up one size in the leggings.

The Softluxe Tank is really versatile—I also wear it to exercise with the matching Softluxe Joggers.

I’ve been traveling in Athleta clothing for more than ten years. Their pieces are comfortable, versatile and made to last. I love that they offer inclusive sizing and are B Corp. Certified.

Gifts for her 🎁
My favorite t-shirt makes a great gift because it’s a bit pricey (so she might not buy it herself) and it’s one of the most practical clothing items! A great quality tee is endlessly useful! It comes in several lovely colors; I’m wearing taupe.

Size up one size at least — and two if you want it roomy. I’m usually a small but wearing a medium here.

Another idea. A lovely classic leather belt makes a great gift! I’ve linked mine and two similar.

My jeans are by Reformation, a couple of years ago. Love the front patch pockets and wide leg. Linking similar.

Holiday gifts for her 🎁

This lovely and versatile cashmere cardigan makes a lovely gift for her. It’s a boyfriend style (oversized) so I suggest sizing down.

I’m wearing the ivory and there are many lovely colors.

My tee is also a favorite. Great quality. I am wearing the color Heather taupe. I also suggest sizing up in this.

Bedding

As part of my home refresh I ordered the Quince Gingham Duvet set in Olive Green. It’s soft and very nice quality for much less than luxe brands like Piglet in Bed.
It came with matching pillow cases (not shown here). Gingham is a classic, versatile style. I love the way it looks with the peel and stick wallpaper I used!

I’m creating a gallery wall in my kitchen and target has the cutest “turned wood” frame. It comes in 2 sizes. This is the 11 x 14. I put a photo in from a trip I took to Croatia.

Would you put a lamp in your kitchen? I just added this and it makes it so cozy!
