Friday List 4.12

April 12, 2019

I’m not going to lie, something about this week and the weather left me in dire need of those afternoon naps. Of course I didn’t get them so each night I was hitting the sheets at 8:30 and it was glorious! Aside from getting that much needed sleep, a few other things have been giving me that extra pep in my Spring step… 

1.

I’m giddy about a retreat I’ll be attending with Jenni Kayne in Santa Ynez next week to celebrate her new book Pacific Natural. I’ve been a mega fan of all things Jenni Kayne and can’t wait to see what the escape has in store.

2.

One of my favorite clean beauty brands, Kosas, recently debuted their Kosasport Hyaluronic Lip Balm and I’m OBSESSED. There are three colors and I’ve been using Baseline, which is clear, and Rush which is the perfect pinky/nude hint. The windy days have been leaving me with chapped lips and its been Kosasport to the rescue, and it really works.

3.

I’m really into all things Loewe this year and recently bought this tote bag for Spring. It puts me in a sunny mood and it’s the perfect size (I got the medium, not too big and not too small).

4.

I have a new source for beautiful baby/kids clothes, Maple Phoenix. They carry some of our favorite brands (Tutu du Monde, Love Shack Fancy, Riley + Cru and more) and have the most adorable presentation and store. Elin got a box of surprises from the store and I was literally saving and taking pictures of the wrapping because it was sweet perfection.

5.

I finally got a chance to catch up with a longtime friend and jewelry designer, Ariel Gordon this week in L.A. She’s between San Francisco, L.A. and even New York sometimes (oh yeah and the mama to two kids!) so pinning her down was glorious. Like always I obsessed over her effortlessly layered jewelry and we took some shots for an upcoming giveaway I’ll be sharing with all of you. Until then, here are some pieces that stuck with me after getting to play dress up in her studio. Also the Fatty Ring is BACK!

6.

Everyone has been asking me about my waves these days and I’m pretty sure it’s all thanks to Playa Hair products—another great clean beauty line. I switched to air drying at the same time and the combo has given my hair the best texture. I’m antsy to try their latest product New Day Hair Mist.
