Book
Happier –This was the best book I read this year. It was written years ago but I just discovered it. It was recommended by Brene Brown. I love the science of happiness… I read Shawn Achor’s “The Happiness Advantage” years ago. This year I discovered “Happier” by Tal Ben-Shahra I also recommend the “Even Happier” workbook these two books are easy to read and have little assignments at the end of each chapter. Sooo good. I recommend buying a copy so you can write in it and take notes. Plus it will be something you might want to re-read in the future
Readers
Peepers– OBSESSED with these they are the world’s best readers I wear them every day. They are sturdy, fun and you WILL get compliments I promise!
Jeans
AYR bomb pop– Y’all these jeans aren’t messing around. The quality of the material is amazing & they give you a terrific tush. They are 100% worth the price point. I’d also try AYR’s Skinny Jeans, The Chiller, same high-quality construction. They all come in lengths too so those of you that are petite OR tall, you are covered. I want to wear mine every day. They run true to size.
Tees
Everlane Micro Rib– The perfect fitted tee for layering! No one wants a bulky tee under a jacket… This tee hugs your body in a flattering way and will not add any bulk
The Supercool Tee AYR – I love love this tee super versatile and flatter tee in a flattering and updated silhouette. Get one in Black and White.
Podcasts
Smartless – I love all three of the hosts but I am a huge Jason Bateman fan and I have been since Silver Spoons. This is a happy, funny light podcast if you want a laugh!
Emotional Badass – This is the best self-help podcast I have ever heard AND it’s short, so quick little lessons to take you through your week. I related to most of the topics and highly recommend this one for everyone that needs a little therapy in their week. It is hosted by Nikki Eisenhauer.
Candy
This candy is sooo good. I discovered it at Hobby Lobby but they weren’t carrying it anymore so I checked Amazon and of course found it there. It is just so flipping good. I love hard candy if I have a dry or itchy throat or just crave a little bit of sweetness. I keep a bag in my car. Cinnamon is my favorite but I am sure they are all amazing.
Cashmere
Zadig &Voltaire – This sweater is the best cashmere I have ever owned. I have had mine for years and years and it has never pilled. It is nice and thin so I even wear it in the summer evenings in San Diego and you can layer it under clothes as well. It doesn’t go on sale because they always carry it but I promise it’s worth the price. If you are on a strict budget you can search The Real Real or Thred Up for one 😉 just make sure it’s 100% cashmere the blends are not as good.
Joggers
Since this 2020 is the year of lounging… I am sure we have all been wearing a lot of it?! The thing is I still want to look cute and feel confident out in public. So I basically researched joggers the last few months, for me and for my clients are there are a few brands that we selected as favorites
Marine Layer Drift Jogger – A dressier take on a jogger. Easy to dress up or down.
Sweaty Betty – I ordered this is the cropped version for me and the longer version for clients. It comes in Black and Blue. I have both. Very flatter in the butt too!
Vuori-Fabulous Jogger Comfy and flatter almost 10k 5 star reviews.
Luck Booties– I discovered this new to me brand Intentionally Blank at Nordstrom. I love these soft pink leather booties. They are very comfy and work with all the pants I wear, cropped, straight, skinny and skirts and dresses. They are buttery soft and have a nice squarish toe and cool heel.
