394: Nine Favorite Things.

Nine Favorite Things – It’s officially summer — and wow, does it feel like it! The warmth, the sunshine… I’m soaking it all up and loving every second.

This week has been packed, but in the best way — lots of fun and exciting things happening. I made a quick trip to Chicago for a short (but very sweet) photoshoot — I can’t share too much yet, but I’ll have more details for you this fall! I love being on set and working with a creative team. The energy is always inspiring. And what I love even more? Creating new things for you all. This upcoming project is a special one, and I think you’re going to love it.

From Chicago, I headed straight to Miami to meet up with my parents, Creighton, and Oslo for some family time. We’ve been loving our time here — the rhythm feels really good, and it’s been such a nice blend of work and connection.

One of the best parts of working so closely with my mom is that we can spend time together and work at the same time. That said, we are trying to get better at turning off the work talk every now and then… I’m definitely the one who struggles with that most. I always want to keep brainstorming!

I’m grateful to be with family for a few more days before heading to Texas for our next two Summer Tour stops — I’m so excited! These events are filling up fast, and I seriously can’t wait to meet so many of you. If all goes well, I’d love to keep the momentum going and plan more in-person events this fall!

That’s all for now — have a great week!

1. Things i’m Loving, Wanting, and Excited to Try.

reading…11 Foods That Are Healthier Than You Would Think. Yes! This is such a good read. A few of these foods discussed are often looked down upon. I love that this article explains their health benefits. I’m a huge believer in the use of GOOD butter over oils. I love to use organic, grass-fed, and pasture-raised butter with 84% butterfat or higher.

burning…the Essential Collection. I’ve been loving making my way through this collection. Currently burning and loving the Lavendare Candle, which smells just like fresh lavender. In the past, I loved the Passion Pit Candle (smells like oranges and passion fruit). And on my to-order list, the Dynasty Salt Candle (smells like pink pepper, musk, and cotton accord), Herbaceous Candle (smells like bergamot, wet grass, and sage), and Rosalita Candle (smells like tangerine and roses). What candles are you guys loving?

everything in my cart (low)…love this Dusk Knit Top. It comes in so many cute (and fun colors). A great summer tank!

Matching sets are a go-to for easy summer dressing. If you love a checkered print, this Tube Top & Midi Skirt Set is cute! My personal favorite right now is this Tank and Short Linen Set. I want the ivory (sadly, it’s sold out in my size), but all the colors are nice!

listening to…Sarah Jessica Parker: How Carrie Bradshaw Changed Me. For all the Sex and the City fans, you’ll want to listen to this one.

travel…The 19 Most Stylish New Hotels in the World, From the Swiss Alps to the Heart of Bangkok. So much talk of summer traveling right now! My list of “to go” destinations is just growing and growing. I’m excited to explore parts of Milan very soon! I’ve never been to Italy! Read the Who What Wear 2025 Travel Issue. For even more inspiration and ideas!

my ideal Italian hotel…Grand Hotel Tremezzo: on Lake Como, Italy. What a stunning location with gorgeous guest rooms and suites. Staying here would be so pretty and such a dream. Adding to my travel mood board!

a stay at…Suite in Côte d’Azur within the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, in the south of France. This is where Sofie Richie got married and ever since I saw her wedding in Vogue, I have want to visit the hotel! But it is always booked out!

also dreaming of going to… I would love to visit the Maçakızı Hotel in Bodrum, Turkey. How pretty is this hotel? The blue water and flowers? What dream destination. This is one my family would love too!

summer travels, but more affordable…10 Destination Dupes That Will Give You an Italian Girl Summer for Less.

gifting…gifts sets! Something I’d love to received as a gift, but wouldn’t purchase for myself because they’re too luxurious (because they are!). These sets would make wonderful hostess gifts or thank you gifts! I just got this Flamingo Estates Jasmine & Rose Bath Set for friends as a thank you gift.

want to try…the Body Sculpt Kit. A French Body-Sculpting set that mimics a lymphatic massage.

everything in my cart (beauty)…I’ve repurchased this Turmeric Brightening Pore Scrub + Exfoliating Mask from KORA Organics so many times in the past. Jut picked up a new tube!

I always talk about more high-end face creams, but one of my recent product empties is the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, Niacinamide, Peptide Complex, and Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer for Face. I’ve been using this for the last couple months while I work to building out a new skin routine.

summer reading…The Most Anticipated New Books of Summer 2025. Which books are on you summer list?

everything in my cart (high)…the sold out Prada Carey Leather Bag would fun for summer. And this Long Sleeve Crochet Cover-Up Dress is apart of the Nordstrom sale.

6. Something Fun – what’s your aura color?

This is so random, but I thought it was fun. What aura color are you? Take this easy quiz to find out! I got violet, which I feel is half accurate. I don’t think that my biggest strength is my intuition, and I definitely do not feel like it borders on psychic abilities. Haha! But I am creative, and I do love nature and find it to be very grounding.
