2022 was such a wonderful year. I traveled a lot domestically and abroad, attended numerous weddings of some of my favorite friends and family, and spent more time than ever doing the things I love, like gardening, hiking, biking, swimming, gardening, reading, and writing.

The Ramona Caftan
Skin is by far my favorite loungewear brand I’ve ever worn.

On my recent visit to Arizona, I brought along a few of my favorite Skin pieces, including the Clio reversible bralette and the Ramona Caftan, which ended up being the perfect thing to wear when the temperatures soared into the triple digits.

Desert Textiles
While in Arizona’s grand canyon, I opted for desert textiles that helped to keep me cool and comfortable while being versatile enough to justify bringing them on vacation with me. More of my favorites from Skin Worldwide, one of my favorite woman-owned brands this look helped me enjoy the soaring temperatures.
