Belated February Favorites
A few of my favorite things from my favorite month.
February for me is the month of love, my birthday, and usually a good opportunity for travel. I’m actually writing while currently on my way back to LA from NYC where I sustained 30 degree weather, ice chill, snow, rain, and wind for the last week. While I romanticized my one week of cold weather dressing, I will admit I am excited to go back to my idilic home of LA where its currently 73 degrees.
March is already underway, and February flew by…as it usually does. So I wanted to take a few moments to highlight a some of my February Favorites- these are the items that are keeping me excited, inspired, and are a joy to share with all of you.

File This Under: Spring Inspiration
The White Lotus x Banana Republic have teamed up for an exclusive capsule of pieces inspired by Banana Republic’s vintage archives, the cinematic world of The White Lotus, and the setting for this season- the gorgeous Thailand. Truly two of the greats teaming up- I knew this had to be amazing. Lucky for us Banana Republic gave me a sneak peak at the collection and it’s GOOD. This collection is giving me ALL the pre-spring/summer excitement and are the perfect pieces made to mix and match. Talk about a great spring/summer capsule wardrobe. I am obsessed with the zebra bandana, pink pants…really all of it. The collection is now live, and available to shop here!
Some styling down below:
One Banana bandana, three ways:
THE Chanel Gua sha:
I have gotten a question or comment every day on the Chanel gua sha since I first posted it a few weeks ago. If a Chanel gua sha ISN’T perfectly me, then I don’t know what is. I am obsessed with this little piece of luxury- something about a small, unexpected, branded luxury item really tickles my brain. I think its the perfect little gift, both for yourself or the friend who loves a little luxury. Its a pleasure to even look at.
I use this gua sha every day with Chanel’s skincare line, The Red Camelia - my face has never looked better. My favorite from the Camelia line is the N°1 De Chanel Re Revitalizing Eye Serum- its sooo cooling on the eyes and helps with wrinkles and puffiness- a win win. Both the serum and the gua sha have quickly been incorporated into my every day morning routine.
Yvonne Leon Ladybug Friendship Rings:
Everyone flipped over this image- understandably so. I learned about this perfect little ring from my tastemaker friend Trang aka
about half a year ago and decided to order one when I was in Paris this past October. It’s such a fun, whimsical and gorgeous piece, as all of Yvonne Lyonne’s designs are…and its a win I get to match with Trang.TMD Makeup Bags
If mine and everyone else’s obsession with these special bags wasn’t already apparent, now it is! Especially after traveling, I mean it when I say, my entire life goes into these bags. They hold SO much product, more than you’d think. One of my larger bags holds about 10/12 full sized hair brushes..for some scale. They wash extremely well, are plastic lined for any leakage, and are extremely durable. I’m just obsessed.
Starling Citrine Ring
One of the nicest gifts I have ever received. I only wear this Starling Citrine ring on special occasions and my heart skips a beat every time I look at it. The setting of it is so gorgeous to me, not to mention the cut of the stone. I received this ring a year ago for my golden birthday am continuously in awe of it. One of the most gorgeous pieces of jewelry I own.
Rothy’s Clogs!!
Yes you absolutely heard that right. I became obsessed with the Rothy’s clogs last year and got a pair for almost everyone in my family for the holidays. We’re all obsessed…and that’s coming from someone who sources luxury shoes all day every day. I wear the buckle clogs in black and they are SO comfy.
