I try to make it as easy as possible for myself to make my workouts happen. Part of that is prepping my environment with the right gear. These shoes never leave my gym - I keep them right by my bench so it’s an easy on/off situation. Remove little points of friction from the things that are hard to do and you will do them MUCH more often!! 💪🏻

Everyone needs a bit of animal in their life 🐆💕 I have expensive taste so replacing my wardrobe of high heels with low versions is a work in progress. I’m wearing these besties to my walk through Monday!

Why is January SO HARD??? My top is old Spritual Gangster - I found some of their newer pieces for a similar vibe 😍
I know no one sees me but me (except you too now, I guess 😂) but putting on something I like helps me get to the Start line - in midlife my embarrassment threshold is a LOT higher! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Denim is dressing up for me 😂 My sweater is such a classic and new jeans update it instantly! I found some similar options since mine is no longer available 💕

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

Bombas socks are the BEST. I’ve worn nothing else to workout since I discovered them 10 years ago 😍 I get new ones every Christmas and before I stuff them in my sock drawer I make sure to declutter any old, worn out, hokey ones 🙌🏻

What I’m wearing for pedi & lunch with my daughters ❤️ I need comfort, color and function.
👉🏻 Miramar denim feels like sweats & I can pull the wide legs up in the foot bath 🙌🏻
👉🏻 Sweatshirt has colors that make me SMILE 😃 and matches my
👉🏻 classic mini Uggs that are easy to slip on before & after toes are done, plus keep my feet warm since it finally got cold here! ❄️

Swinging these bells into 2026! I discovered Peloton has kettle bell classes in both Strength and Cardio modules so put this set on my Christmas list 🏋️‍♂️ Strength training is so important in midlife - these bells will help me stay consistent 😃

We are going to Happy Hour as a family tonight and the rule is you have to wear something you got for Christmas. So I’m wearing my new Barbour (❤️) with a red crewneck, boyfriend jeans, Bombas raglands and Vejas 🤩 So happy it got cold! 😂❄️

Basking in the glow of my new mugs - I love a good midlife upgrade 😍

Not to brag - but I’ve been doing this so long I’m kind of a fondue expert 😬
I definitely have opinions on the best pots for cheese fondue 🫕😉 If you’re thinking about hosting a fondue party (which I HIGHLY recommend - so fun! 🤩) here are Tte pots I’d invest in ❤️

I rarely wear lipstick anymore, but when I do this Chanel duo is my GO TO 💋💄❤️

Miramar for the win! I love these pants so much 😍 And was feeling the grey sweater today but remembered to pop some white under it so it doesn’t drag my face down 😉

Everything Varley does is so elevated - I couldn’t resist picking something up for myself while doing my holiday shopping! 😍

Daytime holiday event means color can play the lead AND I can wear sneakers! Also a red lip is so festive 💄💋 Every single piece in this outfit is a core basic in my closet ❤️

I can never have too much Vuori ❤️

#LTKActive #LTKHoliday #LTKOver40

Nylon bomber, Varley fairisle and retro sneaks serving me well on a beautiful day in NYC 😎🍎🗽

Bombas are my GO TO gift for anyone and everyone in my list - from my husband to my kids to my 83 year old dad! They are the BEST socks I’ve ever worn and they have a buy-one-give-one model, which I LOVE 😍

#LTKHoliday #LTKActive #LTKOver40

I wear Vuori almost daily - because I like to be cute, but I also crave comfort. It’s my organizing uniform, my dog-walking ‘fit, and my home office attire. Curated some of my favorite items here for you 💕 Vuori, et voilà!

#LTKOver40 #LTKActive #LTKdayinmylife

THEY’RE ALL ON SALE right now 🙌🏻 Lots of questions about my furniture. Many pieces are vintage (credenza) or inherited from my parents (piano! bedroom dressers.) My dad made our beautiful kitchen table! But many of the most-used furniture in our home comes from Design Within Reach. My Cross Dining Table, Eames Lounge Chair, Noguchi Coffee Table and Parallel Wide Bed are all from DWR. They have stood the test of time, in both quality and design ❤️

#LTKHome #LTKOver40

What’s on my list this year? Lots of midlife upgrades! Everything from socks to outerwear to weights for my workouts 💪🏻 Im giving y’all a peek but please leave some for my husband as he hasn’t done his shopping yet! 😂🎅🏻

#LTKHoliday #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

I host a LOT this time of year and am not interested in clacking around in heels anymore 😬 Decided to embrace this season’s hottest shoe and am SO happy I did! So many variations but I picked out my favorites for you to shop 😍

I LOVE this pinstripe shirt from Mango. It’s hard to tell in the video but it has these little micro sparkly studs that give it a subtle festive vibe 🤩 I love the length of the silhouette and the sleeves- hits my shape in just the right places. It’s on sale now for Black Friday!!!

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKHoliday

OMG so in love with these Vuori wide legs. They are the comfiest for lounging and go with everything. I’m head-to-toe Vuori today - except for my Sambas 🥰

#LTKActive #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

I have a pretty minimal skincare routine. I wash my face in the shower and then apply eye cream and moisturizer before makeup. That’s it! I have loved Kiehl’s products for YEARS - so fresh and light, plus a fantastic value 🥰
