Shopping for the holidays can be very intimidating.

Shopping for the holidays on Amazon can also be intimidating. But let’s be honest, who wants to hop all over the internet shopping at numerous retailers to click, buy, track and worry about? Why not just head over to a one stop shop to get all of your holiday shopping needs put to rest?

This isn’t sponsored, but I love Amazon so much and I know you guys too so I did a very strong thorough scrape of the very best of the best things you can buy for your loved ones this year.

I don’t know about you but I am all sorts of excited for Thanksgiving this year.

We will be heading up to Santa Ynez to spend Thanksgiving with Grant’s family at the ranch. I don’t know about you, but I love planning ahead over what we’re all going to wear, eat, and drink for this special occasion. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! In the below round-up, I’m including all sorts of essentials for you to shop from for Thanksgiving week!

I’ve been dreaming of staying at the Carlyle in New York for too long to admit.

The famous Bemelman’s Bar has drawn me in dozens of times with its moody jazz nights and luxurious bar. It’ the epitome of New York City nightlife to pay a visit to this iconic establishment. Staying the hotel has always been a bucket list for me and I was beyond excited when the property invited me to experience the Carlyle on my first trip to the city in over 2.5 years.

In a nutshell: It exceeded any and all expectations. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, the room had so many exquisite personal touches and everything from the delicious food to beautiful spa were the top of the top when it comes to what I love in a good hotel. I was upgraded to the Central Park Suite which looked like something that movies are made of. The views were some of the best views I’ve ever seen. With sweeping landscapes of Central Park that kissed the NY city skyline. It was incredible!

I hope to return one day in the near future because it’s official: the Carlyle New York is my #1 choice.

There is truly no better place to be in the fall than in New York City.

The leaves are popping off in Central Park and I simply cannot get enough time strolling around, taking in every ounce of the falling leaves and fall chill.  You guys know how much I’ve been raving about my new trench coat and I brought it along with me. While it’s a touch on the “too cold” side in NY to wear it, it actually paired really nicely with some extra layers for my stroll in the park.

I also wore it on my flight here which was the perfect extra layer. I usually find that trench coats will get super wrinkled but this one is honestly so amazing and the creases just fall right out! It’s hands down my favorite trench and at such a great price point too!

What I’m wearing: Scored these sick Stuart Weitzman boots on sale that are perfect for long walks + The Audrey Black Pants + Jenni Kayne Fisherman Sweater {great look for less here} + Sold out Toteme Sarong {very similar one for less here}

It’s Thursday afternoon in New York City and I’m stepping out and about for my first trip to the Big Apple in over 2.5 years.

I could not be more excited to be in town for a few days of meetings, catch-ups and a fun event on Friday night. I missed the city so much and every thing from the sounds of honking horns to smells of nuts crackling on carts by Central Park.

It was a slow first day for me. I hit a wall of dehydration and exhaustion on my flight here. After a sleepless week with June, a few too many 5 am wake up calls and definitely not drinking enough water, I took it pretty easy on day one.

What I’m wearing: Veronica Beard Sweater that screams fall + The perfect camel jacket also by Veronica Beard + My all time favorite Manolo Blahnik boots that I have had for so long that I recently purchased a newer pair + Ralph Lauren Pleated Skirt

When it comes to what I lounge around the house in, I’m super duper particular.

The very last thing I want at the very end of my day is to feel uncomfortable. I will sacrifice style over comfort any time, but luckily this round-up not only includes some of my all time favorites to wear at home, but they just so happen to be stylish too!

Here is a tried, tested and true round-up of my all time favorite loungewear pieces to wear at home.

Sloppy Joe UK

If you follow me on Instagram, chances are you’ve spotted me wearing a Sloppy Joe more than once. I own 3, no 4, maybe even 5 of their Collar 02 and the Classic Square Sweatshirts. This iconic and timeless UK brand is most known for Princess Diana being spotted wearing their sweatshirts. You can read the full story here.  Their pieces tend to sell out super quickly so be sure to keep your eye out and/or get on their newsletter for new releases: SloppyJoeUK.

Tory Sport

I know we all have and love our Tory Sport pieces but I apparently have been living under a rock and didn’t discover her Heavyweight Sweatpants until recently. Even Grant says I look great in this super, duper comfortable sweats. I know own 3 pair in white and I am ridiculously obsessed. You can see me wearing them in the below photo with a Lake Pajamas long sleeve on top.

Lake Pajamas

It took me a minute to warm up to the colorful (or at least more colors than I used to wearing) Lake Pajamas sets. I originally purchased them for June. She’s a huge fan of their shorts sets and so I thought I’d give the brand a try. To my pleasant surprise, I’ve become the biggest fan! I have a ton of their matching sets and they’re incredibly soft!

Long Cardigan

If there’s one thing I absolutely must be wearing at all times when I’m home, it’s this long cozy cardigan. It just feels like the perfect extra cozy layer and I feel weird without it. This one I scored off of Amazon is absolute perfection. The price tag doesn’t make me too nervous about the inevitability of ice cream and red wine being spilled on it.

I haven’t been in the mood to get dressed lately for some reason.

Even with the changing to a new chilly season, I’ve just felt a little stunted and all I want to do is be a lounge lizard at home. The most I’ll get dressed in is a super relaxed pair of my favorite jeans that feel super comfy and right now my favorites are “The Scout” by Joe’s Jeans. Maybe it’s because I know I have a big work trip to New York next week so I’m saving up reserves. Maybe it’s because our house felt a little sick this past week and my resources are drained. Whatever the reason, I’m not mad about it.

Side note: I’ve been lusting over this mini Goyard bag for months and finally pulled the trigger on what is quickly turning out to be one of my favorite new investments. Also, you’ve probably noticed that I can’t stop wearing these New Balance sneakers. They are hands down my current favorites. They go with everything!

Nobody move: We are getting some really nice fall weather in Los Angeles.

Now picture me, frantically scouring the internet for every new hot jacket and coat on the market. It’s hilarious because we very rarely get low temps in LA and even when we do it’s only in the mornings and evenings. Rarely mid-day. So I tend to get overly excited and overly order things I probably don’t need. So, I really try my best to not spend an arm and a leg on a piece of clothing I’m not going to get too much wear out of. With that said, I’m traveling to New York the first week of November so I’m all sorts of fired up about getting my fall wardrobe ready.

I’m obsessed with this new trench I scored from Amazon {wearing a size XS}. The material feels very high-end and luxe. I really wasn’t expect such great quality on a coat that’s under $100. It also comes in black!

Below you will find my round-up of favorites I’ve found under $200.

I’m beyond excited to open the doors to The Hideaway!

The lake house that we invested in and co-designed is now available to rent! We’ve been holding on to releasing it because there are still a few loose ends to tend to but we figured a lot of you would be excited to catch a slice of fall heaven. I’m beyond excited to open our doors to you all on this first rental property of {hopefully} many more to come!

Stay tuned for the official tour and release of more photos and before/after.

I’m trying to be better about uploading in real time to both my Instagram and blog.

Especially after last weeks outage with Facebook and Instagram, I want you guys to always know that you can find me here.

I received a TON of questions about the jeans I wore out on Saturday night. Grant and I had a dinner with our besties Ashley and Doug. I found myself getting ready super last minute and honestly didn’t feel great about my outfit until it received such a positive response on IG.

My jeans are Citizen of Humanity and they’re called “Eva.” I’m wearing a size 25 (I’m usually a size 26) and they feel great! Huge fan of this style.

My brown sweater is from NA-KD as part of the Claire Rose collaboration. I’m such a big fan of all things NA-KD and was happy I scored this because it’s sold out now. I feel like NA-KD and Mango are both very underrated places to find great styles for less the cost. You’ll find a similar sweater here & here.

My bag is the new Céline I picked up in France and shoes are old Dior mules that the brand gifted me with (thank you Dior!).

I don’t know about you but a lot of my days have started to feel more and more jumbled together.

Literally 5 days a week I find myself leaving to work out at 8 a.m. and by the time I’m home, showered, and ready for the day it’s 1 p.m. I feel like I’m wasting too much time with getting ready and lately I’ve been skipping that part and going straight to our offices. But showing up for work in yoga or pilates attire has really started to get old. I want to feel a little more dressed than a hoodie and leggings, so I put a little more effort into my outfit today and a lot of you were super interested {which makes me excited!}.

So, here is a break down of what I posted on my Instagram this morning along with links to products.

1. The Workout

Firstly, obviously, you put on your leggings and work out tank. If you aren’t comfortable in full mid-drift, Alo Yoga makes some really cute tanks for working out that have built in bras.

I’m wearing: my all time favorite Sporty & Rich leggings and bra. I love this set so much that I ordered a back-up pair. Don’t stress if your bra and pants aren’t the same color.

2. Socks & Sneakers

Even if I regularly wear my favorite Amazon slip ons to yoga, on the days I want to dress up my outfit I opt to make the extra effort and slip on some socks and sneakers.

I’m wearing: My new favorite New Balance sneakers and some plain white socks I found on Amazon.

3. The Button Down

I finally splurged and purchased the striped button down top of my dreams from Céline. But there are really cute affordable button down tops all. over. the. place. Here are a few cute ones that I love: Amazon Essentials, J.Crew, Banana Republic

I’m wearing: Céline button down

4. The Blazer

Even if you decide to wear a hoodie and pop the collar out of the back, there is something really effortless about wearing a blazer over workout gear. It feels very “fashion cool girl.” I really love this one and this one by J.Crew.

I’m wearing: Blaze Milano blazer

5. The Bag

I will have my tote bag with my laptop which also allows me to toss my sneakers inside and my bottle of water. But when I’m jumping in and out of the car I always have my tiny Céline bag in tow. I really like this simple crossbody bag and I also really love this one from J.Crew.

I spoke a little bit about the cleanse that Grant and I are doing on social media and a lot of you seemed quite interested in hearing more.

Diets are really my thing, but a few times a year I will do a 10 day reset for my mind, body and soul. It usually naturally presents itself to me at the start of every new season. It’s kind of interesting how nature almost naturally pushes me for this quarterly reset.

10 days is usually the goal I set for myself because it feels very manageable and very realistic. If I’m feeling strong, which I usually am, I take a free day to eat and drink and not worry about my plan and then  re-up for another 10 days.

Here’s a quick run down of what we like to do. Please know that this is not for everyone. This is just what we have found works for us!

10 Day Sugar Free

By sugar, I mean processed sugar. Basically anything that has a label must read 0g of sugar on the back. You’ll be surprised by how many things you eat have hidden sugars in them which can really add up to your overall intake. Sugar messes with your overall mood, energy levels and metabolism. We definitely allow ourselves to enjoy natural sugar {i.e. fruits} but no processed sugars during the 10 days.

One of my best friends produced the movie, Fed Up, which does a deep dive in to how we are all addicted to sugar. I strongly recommend watching this documentary to give you a very strong toolbox of inspiration, motivation and guidelines to doing the 10 day “Fed Up” sugar free challenge.

Not only do Grant and I both feel better after doing the 10 days, we always come out a few pounds lighter too (which doesn’t hurt!).

Healthy Grains, No Unhealthy Carbs

I love me some carbs! But for me it’s a very slippery slope and before I know it I will find myself sweeping through the Popeye’s drive through for a quick popcorn chicken snack. During our 10 day reset, we try to eliminate as many heavy carbs as possible. I think it goes without saying that we do not allow any fast food during this time.

Rather than white rice, we eat brown rice. Instead of packaged oatmeal in the morning, we enjoy a smoothie or take the extra 5 minutes to make grains from scratch with almond milk.

Honestly, the entire process just takes a bit more planning but we always feel better eating cleaner and leaner.

No Raw Fish

This has been a newer addition to our 10 day reset: No fish, no raw meats, and nothing uncooked! Grant and I have a Chinese herbalist that is focusing our attention on getting a nice gut cleanse plan for Grant which means eating more soups, broths, and cooked salmon, beef and chicken.

In the past, we would typically load up on sushi thinking that it was doing wonders for our system. She has course corrected us and I’m excited to see what it results in.

No Alcohol

Enough said.

Move, Move, Move

First comes food, then comes movement. 9 times out of 10 the quickest way to increase your mood and energy, along with shed a few inches off the belt, is by improving your diet. You can work out every single day of the week but if you eat cheeseburgers for dinner it’s going to be counterproductive.

Once we have our meals planned out, I do a deep dive into my work out plan. I already naturally work out 5 days a week, so during my 10 day reset I like to do something a bit outside of the box. Maybe I’ll try a new class or two that I’ve never done, or increase my workout times.

For this 10 day, I’m really hoping to do hot yoga more. I don’t want to set an expectation. I’m just promising to do more. 

Clean, Clean, Clean

We pick one room or one area of our house every other day of the 10 days and tackle it. It’s amazing how quickly stuff, just stuff, will pile up around the house. I like to use this time to not only do a deep clean, but really dive in to my home organizational skills and order bins and drawer organizers that I’ve been meaning to check off of my to do list.

My favorite are these adjustable drawer inserts as well as these adjustable dividers. I love the modular system for bathroom drawers too.

Clarity Cleanse

I always love to revisit one of my favorite books a few times a year, The Clarity Cleanse. If you haven’t read it, I cannot recommend it enough. It’s just a nice little reminder to continue in my practice of supporting emotional cleansing and allow negative emotions to pass rather than attach.

Phew! I think I covered it all! Was that too much? I just wanted to give you guys a full rundown of what our life looks like during our 10 day reset as I’ve mentioned it a few times but never really explain.

Is this something you guys do? Leave a comment below!
