It’s been a minute since I’ve done an eyeing and buying post.

It also finally feels like the fashion industry is coming back to life after a nice slumber. I know this Celine blazer isn’t anything new, but I just had to put her on to see what all the fuss is about. Not going to lie, I had a dream about her last night. She’s pretty perfect. The only reason I didn’t pull the trigger was because the shoulder pads are pretty aggressive. It feels so good right now, but I can’t see it sticking in another year or so and if I’m going to drop it like it’s hot on a Celine blazer, I want a piece that feels timeless.

Below you’ll find a few more things I’ve been eyeing and buying lately.

I need to get my hands on a new pair of Adidas sneakers and I'm looking to track these down.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had heart palpitations and murmurs.

It wasn’t until June 2021, when I saw my friend Emily Schuman post about her personal experience, that I started to take my episodes more seriously. It was also around that time that my episodes started to strengthen in length and severity. I texted Emily and asked for her Dr’s information immediately.

Doesn’t everyone have heart palpitations these days? I honestly just wrote it off along with everyone else. Sometimes my heart flutters would kick in while I was doing the most random things. They’d kick and turn and then disappear.

But then things kicked up a notch. For the past four or so years, I would find myself sitting down for lunch, or standing in my closet, and be completely taken down to the floor by the most intense heart beats ever. My hands would go numb, chest tighten and head spinning as if I was going to pass out. The first few times this happened it felt like I was having a heart attack. I would be holding June and yell out to Grant to intervene, sitting in the hallway trying to calm my breath. To say that it was scary is the biggest understatement. I’d stay up all night researching, worried and anxious.

“Deep breathing,” Grant would often say. But no amount of slow breathing or mindfulness could tame the severity of these attacks. My worst episode was when I was sitting at lunch with a few girlfriends. It lasted for around 5 minutes before we were questioning calling 911. Luckily the episode ended.

I’ve never felt more ready to head someplace hot and sunny.

As I’m typing this, there are power outages happening in the area due to flash flooding. Grant and I have a few ideas for trips currently being marinated on for the end of the month. We are thinking about a quick escape to Mexico late January and have a bigger trip to the Caribbean slated for late February.

In the meantime, I’m loading up my cart with the below pieces that are pulling at my heart strings for resort.

I'm going to try and push the envelope this season with printed swimwear. In the past I usually stick to black, but I'm feeling frisky this year!

A lot of you took a strong liking to my complete paranoias that I shared on social media yesterday.

Heavy rain has been causing massive mud slides and scary effects in California the past few days. It was a strong reminder about how quickly weather and unexpected events can take you from a state of “normal” to “emergency” in a matter of moments.

Because so many of you asked about my emergency kit section of the garage, I thought I’d throw together a little blog post of what’s included in mine.

I discovered Judy in an IG ad and I have to say that it’s one of those “why didn’t I think of this” type of brands. The below emergency backpack is the one that I have which is filled with everything from glow sticks and food to water kits and warmth for up to 4 people. It’s kind of a one stop shop type of emergency kit specifically for hurricanes, earthquakes and more.

There are a few sweet new things I recently discovered on Amazon that I couldn’t wait to share.

Firstly, I think we can all agree that this 2 piece set for $50 is the trophy of December. I just ordered in black and you can see me wearing the apricot color pants in the photo above. I live in these pants. They’re super comfortable and feel like an amazing look for less version of The Row (which I purchased last year and I swear they’re the exact same).

This just seems like a no brainer to me. I love working out in all black but I'm also into wearing these at home.

It's been super chilly in Los Angeles and I quickly noticed that I was in need of a simple black jacket that didn't feel too heavy.

Finally found the perfect puffer vest!
