Winter

1. Perfect Shearling Jacket

Got the mid-winter blues? The “Zanie” by Nili Loten jacket is definitely the cure for you and fear not, it’s classic cut and color will last a lifetime.

2. Cozy Binge Watch

My Mom came to visit a few weeks ago while my husband was traveling and we loved watching The Empress every night by the fire. Do not miss season one if you are not up to speed. This is the fascinating story about Empress Elisabeth and her husband Emperor Franz Joseph of Vienna. It will make you do a deep-dive into the history of the Habsburg family and I really hope there is another season.

3. Best Hand Cream

Years ago, I tried this L’Occitane Almond hand cream and I have loved it ever since. Not only is it pretty packaging, it smells delicious, and is the perfect pick-me-up on a dreary day.

4. Veggie Goals

I struggle with cooking vegetables. We seem to always do the same old thing but this has been a great new addition to our weekly repertoire.

5. Mood Lighting

Everyone knows that candlelight is better and what would be more beautiful than a room or entryway with this moody and romantic sconce?

6. The Manganese Sim Dinner Plate

Every time I work on a shoot, I search high and low for the best tabletop items to compliment the room. I recently discovered these amazing handmade + hand-painted Italian plates. I hope I can find an excuse to use them soon!

7. Jasmine All The Time

Once the Christmas tree and clutter was down for a bit and I had time to cleanse the palate, I was ready for a little green in my life. I love Jasmine but I am not going to lie, it is very easy to kill. Here are some guidelines for keeping your new friend alive.
