Beauty Favs
One of my go-tos for my late-40s skin. Lightweight, natural-looking coverage without feeling heavy, plus skincare benefits. It makes my skin look like my skin…just better. I’d happily take a Christmas restock.
Olive Rose: Waterless Skin Tint by Olive Tree People
I love the idea of a discovery set because you can choose which scent works best with YOUR body! This one has four in the set and I've been eyeing it for way too long! 🎁
Body Mist Discovery Set
Peach fuzz removal + exfoliation in one? Yes, please. I’d love to try this for smoother-looking skin and makeup that goes on even better. This feels like the perfect beauty splurge to ask for at Christmas.
LUXE Anti-Aging Dermaplaning Exfoliation Device - DERMAFLASH
After loving Frøya’s day and night balms, their mature hair & scalp system immediately landed on my wishlist. My late-40s hair is definitely changing too, so I’m really curious about this 3-step system for thinning, dryness and overall scalp heal...

Clothes & Fashion I’d Actually Wear
LOVE this website. I feel like it’s so hard to find clothes for women over 45 that are cute and stylish without looking like I’m trying to dress like a 20-year-old. Pair these jeans with a crop top or cropped sweater—so cute!
Kadie High Rise Baggy Jeans in Light Wash
Okay, I LOVE this. The suede + bomber style is such a good combo. Throw it on with jeans and a fitted top and you’re done. 🤩
Wrenley Suede Bomber Jacket
This is exactly the kind of top I’m drawn to lately—cute and put-together without actually requiring much effort. I love the oversized fit, stripes and short sleeves, and it looks like one of those easy pieces I could throw on with jeans and instantl...
Daacee Women Oversized Striped Short Sleeve Sweater
Wide-leg pants are having a moment, and these are exactly the kind I want to try. I love the relaxed, slightly boho look and that they’re made with stretch—because at this point, cute AND comfortable is non-negotiable.
XCVI Willowy Wide Leg Stretch Poplin Pant
You really can’t go wrong with lululemon Align. The fabric is ridiculously soft, comfortable and always so flattering. Perfect for Pilates, yoga, lounging—or basically living in. Definitely wouldn’t mind another pair under the tree. 🎁
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Short 4" | Women's Shorts | lululemon
A 100% cashmere cardigan from Anthropologie? Sign. Me. Up. I love the relaxed, slightly oversized look and how easy this would be to dress up or throw on with jeans. 🤩
By Anthropologie Juliet 100% Cashmere Cardigan
This is exactly the kind of set I’d live in all fall & winter. Comfy and put together without trying too hard—perfect for travel, errands and everyday wear. (and it comes in burgundy too!)
Smooth Spacer Relaxed Collared Half Zip | Women's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | lululemon
Looove this whole look. The wide-leg fit with the sporty stripe feels cute and current, but still super easy to wear. I can totally see these with sneakers and a fitted tank or an oversized sweatshirt.
Double-Knit High-Rise Pant | Women's Pants | lululemon
LOVEEE this cropped sweater in light blue: Baggy wide-leg jeans + flats + this = such a cute outfit.
Miriam Striped Cardigan in Light Blue
I keep hearing about SALT & STONE, and this feels like the perfect way to try the brand. A whole set of their best sellers that smells amazing and turns your everyday shower/body routine into a little luxury?
The SALT & STONE Set I'm dying to get
