For most of us, February has always been a month to celebrate love. Whether that’s by spending time with dear friends, a special someone, or simply finding ways to bring more beautiful experiences into our lives.
Personally, I love the latter. There’s nothing better than intentionally surrounding yourself with things that make us feel pretty, cozy, and connected. That’s why I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite things so that you can explore new ways to feel delicious---whether that’s by giving someone a gift or gifting a little something to yourself.
Jewelry by Emily & Ashley
Wearing a few classic pieces of jewelry always makes me feel feminine and put together. And I believe investing in timeless, high-quality items is always the way to go. That’s why I love Emily & Ashley. Their pieces have a modern spirit, while also being wearable for a lifetime. Just like VINTAGE Cosmetics, this jewelry brand never goes out of style. Explore their collection.
Candles by Jo Malone
The scent of a beautiful fragrance can be really mood boosting and memory inducing. I love lighting my favorite candles to cozy up my home and create a little peacefulness. Jo Malone candles in particular are my go-to. They smell amazing with a richness, warmth, and elegance in every scent. Grab yours here.
Flowers by Mark’s Garden
If makeup is my first love, then flowers are my second. And this florist in particular makes the very best arrangements on the planet. If you want to feel like a Hollywood A Lister, this is where you go. Their floral designs have been seen at celebrity weddings, award shows, and of course, in the homes of regular people (like me) who just appreciate pretty flowers. They’re extraordinary. See for yourself.
Racy Undies by THE EIGHTH
If you’ve got a man in your life, or just love wearing men’s boxers to lounge around, then you’ve absolutely got to grab some underwear from THE EIGHTH. This brand creates boxer briefs that are incredibly sexy, comfy, and beautifully packaged (no pun intended!). And their designs are edgy, fun, and totally unexpected. See what I mean.
Pink Lip Crayon
Say hello to the lip crayon that not only goes on velvety smooth, but also gives back: the Pink Lily Velvet Lip Crayon from VINTAGE by Jessica Liebeskind (naturally!). Ever since my college days, I’ve been passionate about supporting my beloved sorority sisters, I was an AEPhi, so much so that I founded a make-up membership program appropriately titled “PrettyU!” for college students. With every membership, 20% gives back to Sharsheret, a non-profit that supports women facing breast and ovarian cancer. Become a member for just $25, receive 25% off all VINTAGE Cosmetics until your 25th Birthday and the Pink Lily Lip Crayon is yours free!
Cashmere by Christopher Fisher
If I could pick one thing to live in for the rest of my life, it would be a cashmere sweater by Christopher Fisher. Their sweaters feel incredible, so much so that you’ll wear them until they can’t be worn anymore. (I swear I have a few with tattered in holes that I just can’t get rid of! Eek!!) Aside from their amazing texture, they offer a gorgeous, classic silhouette that is stylish and always wearable. Get your very own.
Now, I’d love to hear from you. What are your favorite things? What makes you feel beautiful? Share it all with me in the comments below. And if you loved one of the items here, let me know too!

I just spent way too much time perusing these amazing sites. I must say thank you for the eye candy (racy is right)! These are all truly lovely favorite things. Mark’s Garden needs to be my new go to for my flowers. There is nothing I love more in the world than gorgeous fresh flowers. Intoxicating! He is a visionary and truly gifted florist. I could get lost in his site forever. What I love most about this post is your sense of style. You are true to your classic sense in all things. It makes me understand your Vintage line and curated choices even more. Thank you for sharing.
