This little plant corner brings me so much joy, especially in the winter months. A mix of sculptural planters and easy, happy greenery instantly brightens the space and adds warmth when everything outside feels gray.

Design tip: layering plants at different heights creates visual interest and makes even the smallest corner feel intentional and alive. 🌿✨

✈️ Travel essentials I never leave without ✈️
Three things that are always in my bag. The Béis toiletry kit because it keeps everything organized and spill-proof, Cadence capsules and the medium parcel for perfectly labeled essentials that make packing (and TSA) so much easier, and a compact LED travel mirror so I always have good lighting on the go.

Simple, organized, and makes travel feel effortless every time. ✨

A few snaps from our weekend getaway to Gervasi Vineyard and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cozy wine tastings, good food, morning coffee dates, and a little football history mixed in made it the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. 🍷☕🏈

One of those weekends you wish you could slow down just a bit.

#LTKTravel #LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal

Outfit of the day for a cozy trip to Gervasi Vineyard. A classic red sweater layered with a plaid scarf, relaxed denim, and suede ankle boots. Finished with red gloves and my vintage Chanel for a pop of polish.

Soft neutrals for winter feel so luxe. I paired this textured cream skirt with a cozy oatmeal sweater, chocolate suede boots, and a woven top-handle bag to keep the look warm and elevated.

Styling tip: when wearing a statement skirt, balance the texture with a simple knit on top and anchor the outfit with rich, grounding accessories. It keeps everything cohesive while letting the details shine. 🤎✨

#LTKHoliday #LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Inspired by the latest Chanel runway in NYC with its cozy sweaters, rich textures, and bold pops of color. I recreated the vibe with a soft gray knit, dark denim, chocolate suede boots, and that perfect hit of red in the gloves. Finished it with my vintage yellow Chanel to echo the show’s elevated everyday styling.

It’s that effortless mix of practical winter layers and luxe touches that Chanel does so well. 🤍🖤✨

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKGiftGuide

Taking a warm weather skirt into winter is easy with a few simple swaps. I layered this sheer brown skirt with tall suede boots and a cozy forest green sweater, then added a belt to define the waist and pull the look together.

For frigid days, just add opaque tights underneath for extra warmth without losing the flowy silhouette.

Styling tip: when transitioning pieces between seasons, keep the color palette rich and the textures cozy to make lighter fabrics feel intentional for winter. 🤎✨

Versed Products I’m Loving Right Now

I’ve been testing a few things from Versed and they have quickly become my everyday go tos:

• Rich Barrier Cream – Perfect for sensitive or dry skin especially as temps drop. Thick but not greasy and so soothing.
• Multi Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 (Shade 6O) – Lightweight coverage with sun protection. Evens tone without looking like you’re wearing makeup.
• Blush Stick in Pinch – The prettiest natural flush. I use it on cheeks and lips for a fresh monochromatic look.
• Face Diffuser Brush – Makes blending foolproof for that soft skin-like finish.

Why I love them: clean ingredients, hydrating formulas, a natural glow, and easy get-out-the-door application. Linked below if you want to try them too!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKBeauty #LTKGiftGuide

✈️💄 My new favorite travel hack: the Eachy makeup bag. It fits EVERYTHING I need (and still has room to spare), folds up perfectly compact, and keeps my daily routine feeling organized and elevated.

4. Earthy & Elevated:
A green bodysuit, green marble necklace, leopard belt, suede bag, and mesh flats for a grounded, nature-inspired palette that still feels refined.

Eva has had this red light mask on her wish list and she’s only 20, so she definitely doesn’t have any wrinkles yet. But red light therapy has so many benefits for younger skin too like helping with breakouts, reducing inflammation, boosting collagen early, and keeping skin bright and even. ✨

She’s so excited to try it and I’ll let you know how she likes it once she starts using it. 💗

A classic holiday look that works from Thanksgiving through Christmas and makes the whole room feel inviting.

The Owala 32 oz Water Bottle is honestly one of my go to gifts under $50 this season. The new holiday color feels festive now but still neutral enough to use year round, which I love because it does not feel “seasonal only.”

What makes it a favorite for me: the FreeSip design lets you sip or chug, it stays leakproof in my bag, and the handle makes it easy to grab on the go. I fill it twice a day and that’s an easy 64 oz daily dose of water without overthinking it.

Practical, good looking, and something you’ll actually use every single day. A gift that never ends up in a drawer. 🎁💧

5:30 AM movement hits different.
Before emails, before noise, before excuses.

Judge if you want, but choosing to wake up early and move my body first thing has completely shifted my overall wellness, mood, and mindset. I stopped overthinking it and just started doing it. That’s when everything changed.

Sipping from my Owala, AirPods in, PVolve flow, and reminding myself that consistency always beats motivation. You can do this too. Start messy. Start tired. Just start and keep showing up.
