My first American Doll was Samantha; my six-year-old self could barely contain her excitement at the sight of that unmistakable dark red box as I peeled back the Christmas wrapping paper. Two Christmases later Santa decided to bring Kirsten, and I was just over the moon with the two dolls. 

Of the things I kept from my childhood, you can rest assured that Samantha and Kirsten are among them… I always wanted a Molly doll as well, but by the time I found appreciation for her stories I was at the age where I felt like getting a doll wasn’t the ‘cool’ thing to do. But now that she is back I am debating whether or not to purchase her…I mean, are you ever really too old to indulge in a nostalgic item of any sort?

I so hope that American Girl decides to keep the original six dolls around, and not for just a limited time. Maybe it’s just me, because these dolls and their books hold such a special place in my childhood memories, but I loved all of their stories, and overall I prefer the original dolls to the newer dolls. They are just a classic.

I think it’s safe to say that Rachel Brosnahan has won a pretty high percentage of people over with her performance as Mrs. Maisel. I love watching people’s skin care routine – it is always so interesting to see what other people’s favorite products are and their beauty tips. I love how easy and natural Brosnahan’s everyday routine is

Two// J. Crew Puff-Sleve Ribbed Sweater

J. Crew is my most favorite store to shop for tops, simple tees, sweater, etc. This top is listed as a sweater, but it definitely is more along the line of a thick top, which makes it the perfect item to use as a transitional piece. Plus, I love the added detail of the puff sleeve!

Three// The Handmaid’s Tale

A show no one has hear of, I’m sure… Okay, okay, obviously everyone has heard of this by this point, but I am new to the game. I just started watching the series last weekend, and I am completely addicted! The story line is so weird and so crazy and so well done that you just can’t help but watch one episode after the other

Four// Lipton Stress Therapy Tea

I think it is fair to say that everyone’s anxiety and stress level is slightly higher than it usually is under normal circumstances. This tea really is so relaxing and I love drinking a cup at the end of the day; it is a nice little cherry to top off the day.

Five// Liv Tyler Does Her 25-Step Beauty and Self-Care Routine

I obviously hopped down into the rabbit hole that is YouTube… one beauty routine video leads to another beauty routine video… I love Liv Tyler, her voice is so relaxing to listen to and she just seems like such a nice person, and let’s not forget to mention how amazing her skin looks!

This is seriously a can’t go wrong dress for anyone. The detailing is amazing, it’s super cute, comfortable, and perfect for those hot summer days

Two// Wedgewood Blue & White Transferware Set of 3

What mother wouldn’t love to receive a set of Wedgewood dishes!? This set is just so beautiful and classic

Three// Jennifer Behr Fanny Headband

I know I have said it a hundred thousand times, but I am so glad that headbands are back in style and that they look like they are here to stay. I love how the soft pink of this one makes it so neutral and easy to wear with everything

Four// Always Pan

I love the blue color this pan comes in. I haven’t tried it out myself, but have heard such wonderful reviews about the Always Pan and just had to include it in the gift guide

Five// Cool Mama – Mom Necklace – Chalcedony Stone

I love how the gold detail of this necklace perfectly compliments the blue/green color of this particular stone. I also completely love how that the company this necklace comes is geared towards supporting and empowering women

Six// Sarah Flint Grear Sandal 

Love, love, love these sandals and this shoe company. All their shoes are so beautifully designed, comfortable, and can be would look great of any woman of any age. I particularly the Grear Sandals right now. All day wear comfortable and I love how they tie

Seven// Tory Burch Robinson Slim Wallet

This wallet is so classic and can be used as either a clutch or a wallet

Eight// Bows & Blue Dinner Napkin

I will take a bow on everything, please. These napkins are just so beautiful and I love the detail of the embroidered bow {available in blue or pink}. I feel like these can be used for so many different occasions from baby showers to holidays  - definitely a great gift for mom

Nine// Little Words Project Mama + Mini Bracelets

I love women run companies that make a point to empower other women, and Little Word Project does just that. This would be such a fun gift for the new mom in your life, complete with a matching bracelet for her mini me

Ten// On Cloud Sneakers

I feel like On’s have caught on like fire. My own mother wears these all of the time, so it just seemed like a perfect gift option to include

Eleven// Marble Honeycomb Coasters, Set of 4

I have a soft spot for items that incorporate a bee into the design; I don’t’ know why, but there is something about it that makes it seem ‘french’. These are available right now at Williams-Sonoma!

Twelve// Books With Style Vogue x Music

Is there ever such a thing as owning too many coffee table books? Seriously, a ‘can’t go wrong’ gift

Thirteen// Voluspa Large Jar Candle

Candles are another can’t go gift. Who doesn’t love a well blended fragrance wafting through their home

Greek key + blue + velvet = perfection. This pillow is just beautiful
