Leah’s Favorite Things

Almond Body Care Ritual by L’Occitane

Almond is well-known for its ability to nourish the skin. L’OCCITANE has harnessed the exceptional beautifying power of almond from the south of France and blended it in body care and toiletries that are both deliciously tempting and wonderfully effective. See here >>

Banana Republic Factory Outlet

I just really love Banana’s Republic whole vibe over the last few years. Rugged, real, precise, and pretty. The colors and the forms are well curated. The clothes are great quality. All this at an affordable price tag. Learn more >>

Bengal Spice Tea by Celestial Seasonings

Brimming with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves, this adventurous blend is our caffeine-free interpretation of chai, the piquant Indian brew traditionally made with black tea. Try it with milk and sugar for a true chai experience. See here >>

Boxed Wine

I’m such a fan of boxed wine that I built a boxed wine bar closet in my kitchen. Boxed wine lasts far longer than bottles and provides more value for your dollar. Although I love to try all different brands, my go-to staple is Bota Box Nighthawk Black Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon. See here >>

Calvin Klein Dresses

Most of my work dresses are Calvin Klein. They are the best made dresses with durable fabrics that I have found at a reasonable price. I also adore the dedication to gold vs. silver details.  Learn more >>

Chatos Spanish Wine Glasses

And when drinking my boxed wine, I usually reach for a chato glass. Homey, rustic, stemless “Chato” glasses are what Spaniards use to sip their everyday local and regional wines. Chatos, whose name means “small glasses of wine” in Spanish, feature a simplistic yet timeless design, able to transition effortlessly from casual meals to festive entertaining.  Learn more >>

Sicily

I LOVE Sicily. Though I love to travel, there is no need to visit anywhere else. I visited in 2019 and can’t wait to get back. THIS is PARADISE! Learn more >>

Soru Jewelry

Founded by Francesca and Marianna, two half-Sicilian half-English sisters. They grew up near Birmingham, England, to an English mother and a Sicilian father. Each summer, they would stay with their nonna in Palermo. They started the brand when their children were born and now it’s so incredibly popular that its worn by the Duchess of Wales. the brand is a bit out my price range now, but I cherish the pieces I have and I’m always checking the sale page.
