There’s almost nothing I love more than a rustic loaf of bread, but we try not to keep it in the house, since I find myself eating it constantly throughout the day. For years, my dad has been raving about this no-knead recipe, which requires little work, but a bit of patience (it has to rise for 20 hours). All you need are four ingredients, a dutch oven, and some time. When sliced and grilled, it was the ideal starting point for an incredible piece of avocado toast.

I own a lot of dresses and the vast majority of them feel similar – they’re structured, fitted, and generally hit right above the knee. But this one has always been a favorite. The whispy fabric and subtle pattern are quietly pretty and I find myself appreciating it even more with age. It’s my jeans-and-t-shirt equivalent in dress form and while I usually throw it on to run errands, this past week I dressed it up with a crisp blazer and belt for a slightly different feel.

I find inspiration in a lot of places, but these past few days in particular have been filled with new sources of creativity. After spending the first half of the week shooting some new video content, I finished off by speaking at the Lucky FABB conference. It’s always great to meet and listen to people who share similar passions and learn from their experiences. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

In just over a week, we’re heading to Riviera Maya, Mexico for our 1-year anniversary. We planned the trip the first week of the year as a way to have something to look forward to, and I’ve been counting down the days ever since. I’m a firm believer in switching up your vacations – some should be active – filled with exploring, taking in cultural sites and filled with plenty of activities. Others should be centered on the idea of pure relaxation. We’ll be visiting the Mayan Ruins (which I’ve seen once before), but other than that, we’ll simply be rotating between the pool and the beach, with lots of reading material and plenty of drinks. In anticipation, here’s a glimpse of some of the things I’d like to bring along, focused on neutral basics with a few pops of color.
1. J.Crew Bikini Top, $54 Bottom, $44
2. Essie Avenue Maintain Nail Polish, $8
3. Topshop Cover-Up, $50
4. Madewell Sandals, $59.50
5. Estée Lauder Waterproof Mascara, $26
6. Pendleton Beach Towel, $48
7. Gold Waterproof Playing Cards, $15
8. J.Crew Panama Hat, $58
