Curated Edits

Tested, trusted, and truly loved.

Everything here has survived my own daily use or comes personally endorsed by someone whose taste I'd stake my reputation on. This is the short list.

Curated Decor

The Art of Interior Styling

A beautiful room is built, not bought. My approach rests on six pillars:

  • Color with intention — let one or two hues lead and repeat them through the room; everything else supports.
  • Layer texture — linen against wood, wool against stone. Texture is what makes neutrals feel rich.
  • Choose furniture that earns its footprint — scale to the room, comfort before trend, quality where you touch it daily.
  • Light in layers — overhead, task, and glow. A room with three light sources always feels considered.
  • Accessorize like an editor — fewer, better objects, grouped in odd numbers and given room to breathe.
  • Personalize — the room should tell your story. Photos, heirlooms, and travel finds beat catalog styling every time.

The current lineup: what's earned its shelf space

Everything below has survived months (some of it years) of daily use. Consider this the baseline — new discoveries get their own entries above.

Skin care

My daily line is L'Occitane Immortelle Divine — luxurious without being fussy; skin looks like itself, but rested. When my skin wants something gentler, Aveda is the alternative that still works: mild and light, with intense moisturizing ability. And Nerium's night and day creams pull more than their weight in a simple routine.

Hair

Aveda hair care transformed my dry, damaged hair into hair I stopped thinking about — healthy, shiny, done.

Cosmetics

Dior foundation is the splurge that earns it — a flawless base — and its lip and eye liners stay put all day. Aveda lip liners are creamy and true-to-color, and Smashbox Always Sharp 3D liners sharpen themselves to a fresh point every single time. Proof the drugstore still wins sometimes: Maybelline mascara, budget-friendly and repurchased for years. And it all comes off at night with Neutrogena eye makeup remover — the best I've found, takes everything off without taking lashes with it.

Curated Fashion

Love your closet

My philosophy is simple: build around comfortable, versatile basics that mix and match, then let accessories do the styling. One great blazer worn five ways beats five blazers worn once. Must-have basics and accessories edits are coming soon.
