STYLE
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."-Coco Chanel
Since moving to the high desert, I’ve found myself inspired in ways I never imagined. The unique beauty and vibrant culture of this region have reignited my passion for fashion and styling, and I’ve been thrilled to share this journey with my community on Instagram. Due to the overwhelming response, I wanted to delve deeper into how this stunning landscape has influenced my sense of style and creativity.
Nestled within the vibrant streets of Santa Fe, New Mexico, High Noon General Store stands as a beacon of exquisite goods and unforgettable experiences. With a commitment to sourcing premium products and fostering a sense of community, their store embodies the belief that everyone deserves a life filled with beauty and sustainability.
Mother, daughter, friend, sister-friend, aunt, and sister—she is full of multitudes. She is the family calendar coordinator, the entertaining aunt, the considerate friend, and, let's face it, probably really exhausted. I created this gift guide with HER in mind! She enjoys receiving gifts that are sentimental, useful, and both fashionable and timeless.
Health, laughter, friendship, and love are among the finest luxury items in life, and they are undoubtedly free. However, occasionally, an extravagant gift can be given as a heartfelt tribute to the woman we love the most. This season, if you're seeking to spoil her, go no farther than this ultimate list of luxurious gift suggestions. Giving special presents to people we love is a wonderful way to express our sincere gratitude and happiness this holiday season!
I will admit it — I love the holidays as an excuse to show the guy in my life how much I appreciate them, but what I really love is the chance to exercise a bit of style guidance in the process! HA! Whether it’s for our dads, brothers, or special someone, we’re always looking for gifts that are well-designed, classic, and rugged. So after wading through the manliest corners of the internet, I’ve found some great gifts for you!
And really I have turned to the resident guy in my life, my Rodge, to help curate a list of gifts that guys would get excited about. I mean let’s be honest….. he’s more stylish than me!!!! And just has the best eye!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a big fan of weekend trips. Huge fan, actually. Getting away for a quick weekend leaves all your stresses of life behind at home, and truly lets you relax (AND have a remarkable time)
I just had little weekend staycation here in Santa Fe and it was the first time I traveled with my newish Taylor Weekender from Consuela. It’s their largest duffel style and it’s truly so roomy enough for all your essentials and features leather handles, an adjustable webbing strap, two interior pockets, and two exterior pockets.
Every November, we celebrating Native American Heritage Month, also known as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month… but I could not wait until November to share this gem! In October though we do recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day and I believe we all should support Native Designers and Artists.
Aside from learning about the rich culture, traditions and history of Native and Indigenous peoples, you can support their communities by purchasing items from Native and Indigenous-owned companies. And being in Santa Fe, I think that is really really important!
By buying Native, we can celebrate Native and Indigenous peoples' heritage through products that are as varied as the cultures they come from. And if you're looking for a gift that's truly unique, all of 4kinship ‘s offerings will fit the bill. 4kinship is a very unique Indigenous-owned clothing brand founded by Amy Leung of Navajo heritage, she chose to create this “sustainable artwear brand” after a career in fast fashion. 4kinship is a Diné (Navajo) owned sustainable artwear brand dedicated to producing handmade, one of a kind, restored, repurposed and lovingly upcycled, artisanal and small batch products.
When shopping for “the person who has it all,” you have a few options: buy them something you can never have too many of (example: candles, accessories, coffee table books,) buy them something you know they don’t have (example: a specific kitchen appliance, a self care item,) or give them something seasonal (example: flowers, greenery, even something parishable. ) When you think of it in those terms, finding the perfect gift for that special someone doesn’t seem so intimidating after all, and to make the task even simpler, one-stop-shop at Olive + Cocoa.
The world of fashion is constantly changing. Different trends here and there can inspire you to improve your style. Now that summer is approaching, you may want to look at the hottest trends in summer fashion. Various trends are emerging, and you can take inspiration from different clothing styles.
From timeless fashion to indulgent fragrances, here are my special holiday 2022 picks for that woman in your life who has kept it all together this year!
Men can sometimes be the hardest to shop for, especially my silver fox who has everything he wants already AND is super picky, even pickier than me if that is somehow possible.
I sure hope you are familiar with Sézane by now!!

Your guy deserves a special something to celebrate this day dedicated to love!!! So no need to stress though: I’ve compiled some seriously dapper Valentine’s Day gifts for your number one man.
Happy almost Valentine’s day.
It’s just one of my very favorite ridiculous holidays! I think it stems from my mom. She loved Valentines. She would help me craft the most amazing cards for my classmates and make special strawberry cupcakes topped with red-hot candies. We would always go for a lovely hibachi date too at Shogun Steakhouse of Japan. I do ’t really have the fondest moments of her but Valentine’s Day was truly something fond I do remember her by. She made this holiday so ridiculously special for me and it stuck.

I so adore a beautiful subscription box that transports me somewhere else! I so love giving subscription boxes as gifts too because they are truly the gift that just keeps on giving. Discovering a single item that truly encompasses how much you care can be quite difficult. Whether it’s for their birthday or a holiday or it’s a simple token of gratitude, one way to guarantee you’re giving them something they’ll enjoy is by presenting them with a gift that keeps on giving. Translation: Invest in a themed subscription box they can be excited about for months to come. And imagine a subscription box that transports you to Provence without even leaving your own sofa!
