Who doesn’t need ideas for your friend’s gift list or your own wish list? Here are some fab faves of the moment – my summer gift guide 2024.
SUMMER GIFT GUIDE 2024
TESALATE TOWEL
If there’s a pool or beach party, nine times out of ten, I will get complimented on these towels – and kids and parents alike ask to see the tag. Well, it’s Tesalate.
Tesalate is an Australian brand that has been featured in every media outlet – from Elle, Vogue and – well, yours truly.
They’re the best towels, which make the best gifts, since they have dedicated hours of research and design into creating the most absorbent, durable, sand-free and fast drying towels (designed to dry in half the time of regular towels). And the best part is they’re ultra light and fashionable to boot.
My pre-teens are obsessed with them – which has caused much competitive ruckus in the family. Luckily for me, we now have four Tesalates in the household. Two large Bohemians, a cool blue geometric striped one (which they sadly no longer make) and now my new favorite – the chic black and white Koko.
Lay on it, throw it around your shoulders or wrap it around your waist. (It makes the cutest sarong too.)
STANLEY CUP
I chuckled last week when I read the Stanley Cup being described as an “emotional support water bottle” – and nothing could be more accurate. Every pre-teen, teen, college kid or yoga mom are Instagrammed holding a Stanley in their hand, in lieu of a safety blanket or 3 pound Chihuahua.
My girls swear that the water tastes better since the water stays ice-y cold. I’m just glad it fits perfectly in the car’s cup holder.
I got one of these personalized with a photo for Father’s Day and it was so super cute.
LA LOOP x SEOULFULL
If you have’t seen the socials yet, I’m quite excited that my skincare line, SEOULFULL, is doing a collaboration with LA LOOP – the coolest jewelry line specifically made for eyewear. The patented art design allows you to hang your readers or sunnies on the loop. I wear them every single day, all day and night – and they’re fab for vacation. This collab will be ready in the next month or so – so get your pre-orders in now.
PERFECT WHITE TEE
These designer tanks and tees are created by my friend, Jen Menchaca, who is also the founder of Nation Ltd. They are high end, thoughtfully designed, smooth like butta – and go with anything. Wear them with Tobias’ jorts – or with your corporate A-line skirt. Your whole look and comfort will be taken up 10 notches. They are literally the perfect white tee (and tank).
SEOULFULL SKIN CLEANSER
Of course your first step in skincare this summer will be cleanser. Slough off your makeup and sunscreen and unplug those pores!
SEOULFULL’S AHA Mint Renewal Face cleanser is the brightening and hydrating cleanser you need this summer! It has gentle exfoliating properties — and its peppermint and spearmint oils leave the skin cool, energized and refreshed. It feels (and smells!) so good after a day in the sun.
Lactic Acid, Malic Acid and Tartaric Acid are its key performance drivers. Together they work synergistically to boost effective exfoliation and soften the appearance of skin discoloration. Who doesn’t need that?!
BIRKENSTOCKS
I have been waiting forever for Birks to come out with shiny black and gold slides. And finally, voila! I get more compliments on these than any Isabel Marants. Wear them with a sundress, leggings, jean shorts or a tight black long skirt. So chic, so easy, so good. I think I need a second pair.
ENERGY SESSION WITH LIZZI CUTLER
Who doesn’t need some energy alignment? Summer is here and all of us are feeling the need to shed skin, show skin and exist in full transparency. I know this can sound very woo-ey – and I too can be a little suspect of things that don’t have scientific tangible backings – but like Dr. Athena Perrakis aka Sage Goddess whom I interviewed a few years back, Lizzi Cutler is the real deal. (And they both hail from USC!)
Lizzi works with you one on one (or in a group setting) to help you clear the gunk and energetic or subconscious blocks that are hindering your personal growth and expansion.
She works with professional athletes, CEOs and radical me to get us where we need to go. Lizzi will set you on a path of healing and professional and personal explosion. “Notice the wins,” she tells me.
They are here and they keep coming. With Saturn in retrograde, now is the perfect time to book a session.
