Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a lovely, long weekend. I spent this morning digging in to my garden plans. Nothing like spending time outdoors among nature to feed the soul.

It’s been almost a year since I launched West by Nature! I’ve learned a TON over the past several months and even started working with some amazing brands on a small scale, which has been incredibly exciting. It truly means the world to have friends and family tell me that my blog is resonating with them. And for a few brands I admire to say the same has been the cherry on top, which brings me to today’s feature on Los Angeles activewear brand Coed Active!

This year on my list are a few wardrobe staples, my most-loved fragrance Alex found for me a few years back, and accessories I’ve had my eye on for some time. Lately, I’m all about luxurious loungewear—especially as the seasons change and I’m staying home more—basics I can reach to time and time again to effortlessly layer an outfit, as well as little treasures to make everyday living a little more special. I hope these gift ideas help for your own wish list or ideas for a sister or girlfriend!

I’m always on the hunt for a new workout set and have been loving my go-tos as of late. I recently became a pilates instructor, and there are a few things I look for when it comes to a comfortable and flattering set to wear teaching and on the reformer. I rounded up a few tried and true brands that have been giving me life lately. Some old favorites, and some new discoveries!

I love a good gingham print! It’s just so classic, and it always gives me those picnic vibes I strive for come spring and summer. This checked print has been on full display lately and I am loving what’s been springing up around the web. I rounded up my latest gingham finds from my go-to sites, particularly some picks for SS2021 wardrobe and pieces for picnic and beach days.

When it comes to gifting I love to give things that will serve a purpose or bring simple pleasures, and luxury versions of everyday items. I had so much fun putting together this gift guide full of goodies for self-care and a little indulgence that I’m eyeing for the Moms in my life. I hope it helps with Mother’s Day shopping ahead of May 9!
