Christina’s picks

things I own that I have truly loved this year

This jacket is one of my best purchases of the year. I am 5’5″ so a trench can feel too long for me. This has that same look, along with the cinch waist. The cinch makes it more fitted and alluring. I will probably have this jacket for a lifetime.

I LOVE my bag! The soft pink color garners lots of compliments paired with the dusty and comfortable strap. It also holds quite a bit!

Last year for Christmas, I received these leather leggings. They were worth every penny. Nothing compares to that supple leather finish and fit. A major investment, but it has met the cost per wear. #GirlMath

A tried and true staple in my handbag department. An easy crossbody without sacrificing quality. This has been my everyday bag for the past three years. I know I will have it forever.

My suitcase! I travel a lot and this is the best carry-on. Stylish and I think it rolls way more wonderfully than an Away bag,

The best find of the year! I was visiting my friend Amberly in Atlanta and she had one these shoes. She is so stylish that I immediately purchased. This has been my best selling item the month of November. Size a half size down!

The PJ to end all pjs. Soft and breathable. I don’t even know what else to say except, if you haven’t tried them you are missing out.

My silk pillowcase is something I use every night. While they say it helps your skin and hair, I find the main purpose to be for a cool and smooth sleep!

I own this sweater in multiple colors. It is the best cut of a sweater there is. The mock neck isn’t constraining and the lines in the sweater make your arms and waste more defined. They are my winter wardrobe staple.

I went to Aspen this August to visit friends and stumbled into a pop-up for this slipper brand. The owners tested almost every hotel and spa slipper to formulate the ideal slipper. Not sure I would ever wear another- these are that good!

If you were to see me running errands around town in a tennis skirt, jeans, or even work out pants- the probability is high that I will be wearing this pullover. Hear me out, I always thought this brand is expensive for what it is- BUT, they do basics so well. Everything washes beautifully, drapes perfectly, and I haven’t found anything that comes close. I think I can safely say, you won’t regret this purchase. I find myself drawn to it daily.

This pajama romper adds a fun flair. I now own in multiple colors. It has a little bit of sultry look, while still comfortable and flattering- a hard combination to master.

The best joggers! I wear on international flights and lounging around the house. Completely versatile.

Musings 2.0 creates the most spectacular hats. All hand stitched and custom to order. My talented friends Jennifer and Sarah are true artists. One of these hats would make the most personal and fabulous gift. Send them a direct message on instagram to order. If you don’t have instagram, email me and I will connect you.

“You can walk ten miles in New York City in these boots.” These boots are on Chandler’s list and mine! A woman in my bible study had them on, and my friend Amity immediately asked her about them. She said she tried on just about every heeled boot to see which was the most comfortable and these were her top pick! Stylish to boot- pun intended!

Beauty

I use the this foundation and always add pump of this in my hands before I apply to my face. It gives you a subtle dewy glow without looking shiny or cheesy. I am a total convert. To be fair, I was checking out with Armani foundation at Sephora and the girl at the register told me to try Kosas instead– she was correct!

This is THE lipstick. This is the same lipstick Margot Robbie wore in the Barbie movie. I bought one on a trip to London recently. The pigment is perfect.

The twenty year old told me to do it! When I was staying at my friend Amity’s early this fall, her 20 year old niece was also there. She taught me the importance of this bronzer stick. Do a line tracing your cheekbone and then blend with a beauty blender- it needs to be slighlty damp. My makeup has been way more elevated since. It truly contours your face.

I am a big believer in the importance of clean deodorant. This is my tried and true. Works the best and non irritating- my underarms are very sensitive.

This robe! It is the robes to out win alI robes. It is so luxurious and like wrapping yourself up in a big fluffy cloud. It is the gift that is ideal for the person who has everything.

These lounge/sleep pants are oversized and soft. Ideal for a night inside!

The 20 year old wants this for Christmas and I do too! Pillow talk is one of the prettiest colors and pigments out there and this is a great gift kit.

A scalp scrub that truly cleans your scalp and is worth the money. So many friends use and love this.

You leave this cryo mask on for ten minutes. It is incredibly cooling and leaves your skin feeling next level fabulous.

This is a great price point for all of these Christian Dior products. The lip oil is Chandler’s personal favorite. I love the brand CD (my initials).

Chandler says this serum should be number one on everyone’s list. It gives such a brightness to your skin and leaves it so soft.

Apparently this really works. Mix with almond milk at night and it is like a healthy hot chocolate! Yum!

Pajama and Lounge

some womens pajamas and a shoutout to the men I dated this year for these recs 😉

Tech

When I traveled to Africa this summer, I was able to see that my suitcase was left on the tarmac and helped Qatar locate it precisely thanks to my airtag. Everyone needs to have airtags in their luggage and handbags! Highly recommend and very necessary. Many people put them on their dog’s collars as well- connects right with your iphone.

This mug keeps your coffee warm for hours. Everyone who has one, loves it!

If you are consistent, these LED face masks really do work. A perfect gift for someone that has it all. A blue light helps zap bacteria (acne prone skin) and the red light helps with wrinkles.

This kettle is the best one on the market. I use mine all the time. Makes way less of a mess than having to boil the water or zap it in the microwave.
