JENNI KAYNE CROPPED CASHMERE COCOON CARDIGAN

Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite Jenni Kayne piece is, I always respond with the Cocoon Cardigan. It’s a classic, slightly oversized super cozy sweater that you’ll wear a zillion times. They just released it in a cropped version, which I got in the nutmeg color and am obsessed! It’s perfectly cropped and you know I love anything in brown. Use code ALEX15 for 15% off your Jenni Kayne purchase!

LAURA DAVIDSON SOHO RIBBED DESK CHAIR

I had such a hard time finding a desk chair that worked with mine and finally got this one after two friends recommended it. It’s got great support, comes in a bunch of colors (I got the chocolate brown) and you can use it with or without the arms. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a desk chair!

OSMOSIS WELLNESS SKIN DEFENSE CAPSULES

I started seeing a new facialist in LA who introduced me to these skin defense capsules. I struggle with hormonal breakouts on my chin and since I started taking these daily, I haven’t had any major breakouts. They help your body and skin detox from heavy metals, estrogen toxins, pesticides, plastics, and food preservatives, revealing clearer skin and a stronger immune system.

SISTER KATIE ANNA POINTELLE TEE

Sister Katie is one of my go to brands and her new fall collection is perfection. I received the Anna Pointelle Tee in off-white and chocolate plum and have been wearing them constantly!

MANTA HAIRBRUSH

I used to use the Tangle Teezer comb on my hair after showering, but had been noticing a lot of breakage at my roots. I read about the Manta Hairbrush and immediately purchased it. It was created by hairdresser Tim Binnington after his wife, who went through chemo treatment. He saw how hard it was for her to brush her hair because of how fragile and easily broken the strands were, so wanted to create something that detangled, but was so gentle it felt like you were just running your fingers through your hair. It's meant to fit in the palm of your hand and it flexes and curves around your head, rather than pulling and dragging your hair down. So far I really love it and have started noticing less breakage.

ROZ SANTA LUCIA STYLING OIL

Always trying new hair products over here! I bought this oil a few months ago, but wanted to try it regularly before commenting on it. I typically don’t like oils because they weigh down my fine hair and make it greasy. This oil is the first I’ve tried that is so lightweight, you can’t even feel it in your hair. It smells amazing, helps bring out my waves and makes my hair super soft.

the real real

I’ve been a fan of The Real Real for a long time, but recently it’s become one of the main places I shop! We have a black tie wedding this weekend and I got both my dress and shoes from The Real Real, along with a handful of other recent finds. The key is utilizing their saved searches feature. I have one search with all my favorite brands (Toteme, The Row, Celine, Ulla Johnson, Isabel Marant, Doen, Alex Mill, Tory Sport, etc.) and my sizes enabled, which I check daily. I also have searches for specific brands or items I’m on the hunt for. It’s incredibly addicting, especially in the app, but I love that I’m shopping secondhand and finding great deals on pieces I love.
