Solid & Striped “The Anne Marie” One-Piece in Lemons, $168
I was browsing a little boutique in Malibu this weekend (a sentence that sounds fancier than it actually was, admittedly), and I came across this gorgeous one-piece. I have a couple swimsuits from Solid & Striped, and I just love their cut and style so much. I’m also a big fan of one-pieces (they’re so forgiving and comfortable), and this darling lemons one makes me want to drop everything and book an Airbnb in Palm Springs, stat.

VMV Hypoallergenics Boldly “Glow” Coconut Oil Blush Stick, $60
I’ve been looking for a great blush stick for a while now. For me, blush sticks are way more goof-proof than a pressed powdered blush. And I just found one that checks all the boxes: simple-as-pie application, natural looking, and organic. When it comes to good-for-you makeup, VMV Hypoallergenics is where it’s at, y’all. This blush stick is made with coconut oil, and it smells divine. Not to mention the packaging, which might be the fanciest applicator I ever did see. At $60, this blush is definitely a splurge…but if you’re looking to invest in a high-end clean beauty product, this is a fabulous pick.

Williams-Sonoma Wüsthof Gourmet 18-Piece Knife Set, $300
My kitchen knives situation is pretty sad. I need a major upgrade, but full disclosure, I’d rather buy a couple cute new dresses than spend my cash on cutlery. Sigh, maybe I’ll eventually save up and spring for a gourmet knife set like this one.

Giorgio Armani Ecstasy Shine Lipstick, $38
I’m majorly digging this shade of lipstick. HG Beauty Editor Marie Lodi dropped this off at my desk yesterday, and it’s my new go-to. The formula is creamy and hydrating, and the shade is a gorgeous shade of red-pink — perfect for Valentine’s Day. Or just, you know, when you’re feeling sad and know in your heart that you can solve all your problems with a few swipes of lipstick.
