HAYLEY BRIDGET BUTTON UP SHIRT
My incredibly chic friend, Hayley, launched her namesake brand, Hayley Bridget, full of essential pieces that you can mix and match and wear endlessly. I love button up shirts and this one is truly the nicest one I own! The cut is incredible and it’s made out of high quality fabric—every detail was considered and it shows. I’m always trying to dress more like Hayley and now I’m one step closer!
HEATHER TAYLOR HOME GINGHAM TISSUE BOX COVER
I love Heather Taylor Home’s gingham so much and when she announced she was making tissue box covers, I quickly made an appointment at her LA shop to get one for our guest room! This color is currently sold out (you can join the waitlist for a restock), but all the colors are amazing—I had a hard time deciding which to get!
ELTA MD UV CLEAR SUNSCREEN
I’m a big proponent of wearing sunscreen every day, especially now that I live in LA. It’s one of the best things you can do to prevent aging/wrinkles and keep your skin looking healthy. I have a few face suncreens I like, but I always come back to this Elta MD sunscreen. It’s a mineral formula instead of a chemical formula, which I love, and it goes on perfectly clear—no white cast at all. Highly recommend giving it a try if you are looking for a face sunscreen!
CREATE ACADEMY RITA KONIG COURSE
I signed up for this interior design course back in the fall and have been making my way through it and also revisiting the lessons. It’s a really great course if you are interested in getting into interior design or are just decorating your home—and you can’t beat learning from the legendary British designer Rita Konig!
J.CREW ANKLE WRAP SANDALS
Wrap sandals are the chicest summer sandal and I was so excited when I came across this pair in chocolate brown. I really love J.Crew’s sandals—they aren’t too expensive, they’re comfortable and hold up for years. I’m still wearing some of the pairs I bought over 5 years ago. This pair also comes in black, which is currently in my shopping cart.
JENNI KAYNE SUMMER DRESS
Jenni Kayne brought back their summer dress again this year and also introduced new colors! It’s so perfectly named—it truly is the best dress for summer. I have it in both white and black in size XS. Use code ALEX15 for 15% off your Jenni Kayne purchase.
RMS BEAUTY STRAIGHT UP VOLUMIZING MASCARA
I love trying out new natural mascaras and was recently gifted this RMS Beauty mascara and I love it so much! Personally, I like a fuller brush and the formula goes on really smoothly with no clumping. It instantly makes my lashes look fuller and longer.
FRONTGATE POP UP AIR MATTRESS
My mom came to visit for Mother’s Day and we needed to get a bed for her quickly. We are ultimately going to be getting a daybed + trundle for our guest room, so we didn’t want to invest in a whole guest bed + mattress + box spring that we wouldn’t want long term. A friend recommended this pop up air mattress and it was perfect! It pops up so easily and stays inflated to the desired firmness level so there’s no deflating during the night. Highly recommend it if you are in need for an easy guest bed solution!
