I’m not typically into Valentine’s Day… and we certainly don’t exchange presents for the holiday. But these little Love Shop monogrammed items from Clare V. may be making me change my mind! Always happy to add another pouch to my collection.

So excited to share one of my new favorite online shops with you today!
Tina Burgos launched Covet and Lou last fall, after owning a celebrated Boston boutique for ten years. Today, Tina is focused on apparel and home, championing independent designers and giving us access to an incredible collection of vintage goods.
Covet + Lou just released their Spring collection, featuring some A-list labels (giejo!) and several new-to-me favorites… I’m honored to be curating a collection for Tina – check out some of my favorite items (it was not easy to narrow down my selections!) and, if you are interested in knowing whether or not I’ve ever been arrested, read my answers to The Covet + Lou Questionnaire!
If you follow along on Instagram, you know that I’ve spent the weekend in San Francisco, gallivanting throughout the city with friends and family and soaking up the sunshine. Today I’m in work mode, running around to meetings and interviews and working on some great projects and brand features.
I’m a little bit crazy about sticking to a carry-on when I travel – whether for work or for play, these are the items that always make the cut.
Clare V messenger –> I actually currently use this duffel, which holds all of the above and then some, but am ready to add the messenger to my collection for a little extra space!
Clare V pouch – perfect for extra chargers, jewelry, business cards… these pouches save me from having to empty my bag every time I need something.
Fotostrap Camera Strap… because I’m not interested in being a walking Nikon advertisement. These straps also have a charitable component, which I love.
Rodin Lip Balm & Earth Tu Face Skin Stick my skin gets so dry when I travel but I picked these up at Mille recently and have had no issues this trip. The lip balm feels like a treat throughout the day and the skin stick is obviously portable and perfect for all over use.
Did you set a fitness related resolution this year? I didn’t, exactly… but I do start basically every week thinking I’ll work out more than I did the last week, so it’s kind of an ongoing thing for me.
New workout gear is definitely a motivator for me – maybe I’m vain for caring what I look like while working out, but it really does seem to help.
When it comes to work out clothes, quality matters, to a point. The cut and material absolutely have to be right – no one wants to be adjusting tops or pulling up their pants all day long (or see other people doing that!) but I also don’t think of most of my work out clothes as investment pieces – they obviously get sweaty, are thrown in gym bags, washed frequently, etc. I want them to last for six months to a year, but I’m not expecting anything longer.
I’ve yet to find a favorite brand (and my thighs definitely touch, which may explain why a certain big brand doesn’t work for me!) but I’ll be trying these out this year. Any other American-made favorites I should check out?
