My love for rose gold knows no bounds. This delicate, yet distinct bracelet ($3,000; tiffany.com) would become part of my everyday jewelry uniform—I love that it's subtle enough for everyday but special enough for evening.

This sweet little romper ($310; net-a-porter.com) will serve double-duty: I'll wear it as a beach coverup during my warm-weather winter getaway, and come summer, it will serve as my weekend uniform.

I love dressing my one year-old daughter, Plum, in unique pieces that reflect her personality (sweet, strong, and playful) — this Makie vest ($96; tiinathestore.com) checks off all the boxes and is also a great layering piece for cold winter days in the park.

While this may not be the most romantic gift for my husband, it marries together two important elements: style (me) and function (him). This sleek-looking speaker ($400; shopbop.com) will look cool on our bookshelf, and has high-quality sound.

Not only are these minimalist-meets-rustic tea towels ($35; tiinathestore.com) incredibly stylish, but they get softer with each washing.

These hand-painted wood peg dolls ($160; etsy.com) are the perfect gift for friends with an appreciation for whimsical design. Simply provide a photo and Goose Grease will create custom dolls to match (they'll even include beloved pets!).
