Some Things I’m Loving + Holiday Gift Ideas!

I wanted to round up some things I’ve been loving lately, and give you guys some gift ideas! I asked you on Instagram last week if you wanted to see more lifestyle content on my site, and the overwhelming response was YES! Everthing below is a mixture of clothing, makeup, and kitchen stuff!

Women’s Veraly Chelsea Boot – I just bought these boots in the red/multicolor and they are totally not something I’d usually go for, but they’re SO adorable and very comfortable! I’m usually such a plain Jane when it comes to shoes, but I am so excited to wear these this winter!

Crown Vintage Ryder Bootie – I got these booties in grey and I’ve worn them almost every day since I got them. I’m super picky about shoes and they HAVE to be super comfortable because I have bunions. I’ve walked long distances in them without any discomfort, and they have the perfect heel too! It might be too far to say I feel like I’m wearing sneakers when I have them on, but they are THAT comfortable.

Athleta Misty Jacket – I’ve barely taken this jacket off since I got it! I absolutely love the rose gold detailing and it’s great for layering. The hood folds up and zips into the collar too, which is such a nice option. It’s super lightweight but it has still kept me warm..and I’m always cold! I got it in navy and it’s just gorgeous.

Women’s Free People Palisades Top – I found out about this top through my friend Jessica and I cannot say enough good things about it. I bought it in three colors and I still want more. It’s a little thicker than your average shirt, but not quite sweater thickness and it’s SO flattering. I’ve worn it off the shoulder and also cowl neck.

Benefit Ka-Brow – I’ve been using this to fill in my brows for about a year and I can’t say enough good things about it. My brows are dark but a little sparse in spots, and this fills them in perfectly and looks super natural. It’s a drier consistency than most other brow fillers I’ve tried, which gives you a little more control with the product. And it comes with a little brush!

R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste – I found out about this stuff from my cousin a month or so ago. It has been SUCH a game changer for me. It’s seriously changed my life! I have super fine hair and it’s super blah unless I curl it a little bit. After I’m finished styling, I’ll take a tiny bit of this and run it through my hair and it adds SO much body and the perfect amount of hold without feeling crunchy and gross. LOVE IT.

R+Co Dallas Thickening Spray, 8.5 Fl OzR and Co. Dallas Thickening Spray – This stuff is the same brand as the dry shampoo paste, and it’s been INCREDIBLE also. I use it with the dry shampoo paste linked above and I spray it in my hair and comb it through before I blow dry. Another incredible product for my super fine hair! It also makes it super shiny.

Nars Blush in Deep Throat – I love Nars blushes. The formula is so nice and super pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I’m super pale but I have olive skin, so this peachy tone looks really nice and natural. It has a little shimmer in it too!

Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops – These are so gorgeous and fun if you’re looking for a little extra “something” in your makeup routine. They add the most gorgeous glow and glimmer. I love adding it under my eyebrows especially..it really brightens up your face!

Owl Moscow Mule Mugs – I found these owl mule mugs last week and just about died when I saw them. How cute are they?! These would make a great gift for someone who likes making drinks at home.

Le Creuset Mini Cocottes – I have these in several different colors and they’re the most adorable things I’ve ever seen! They are oven safe so you can bake mini desserts in them and whatever else you want! I’m dying to make some mini french onion soups in them. Perfect for holiday entertaining too!

Crate and Barrel Span Black Gateleg Dining Table – I use this table for my desk at home, and also for shooting all my food photography! Half of it has all of my papers and laptop and office-y stuff, and on the other side I put my photography boards and surfaces to shoot all my photos. It’s PERFECT and I can’t say enough good things about it! In my old apartment, we used it as a kitchen table! Super versatile and gorgeous.

Athleta Blossom Intuition 7/8 Tight – These are THE most comfortable tights I’ve ever owned. Their Powervita fabric is unreallll. I’ve worn them for running long distances and regular gym workouts too. And just lounging! I love how they have a media pocket on the side so I can put my phone in there while I’m lifting weights and listening to music. So obsessed.

Dream Scene Rosé All Day Sweatshirt – This is so basic but so adorable. It’s the softest sweatshirt I’ve ever owned! I like my sweatshirts a little oversized so I ordered a size up!
