As the holidays approach, we brace ourselves for the constant busyness that fills November and December. Between work, social events, family gatherings, and cocktail hours, life rarely pauses. So how do we manage? What can we do to take care of ourselves between hosting Christmas, finishing the shopping, and celebrating a little more than usual?
Let this be your reminder that the holidays were once meant for rest, reflection, and connection. Take a moment to slow down and be present. Sleep in, take a long bath, read a book, or binge-watch a favourite show. Resting isn’t laziness; it’s how we refill our energy to show up fully again. A part of your wardrobe should also reflect this: pieces designed for comfort, softness, and stillness. Here’s what I look for when curating the ultimate self-care rituals.
Easy Coordinates
The secret to effortless comfort is simplicity. Matching sets and soft knits that move with you, not against you. I love pieces that make you feel put together without thinking twice, a cozy cashmere sweater with coordinating pants or a soft cardigan layered over a cotton tank. When everything works together, it makes space for you to breathe.
Indulgent Fabrics
There is no better feeling than wrapping yourself in a luxurious silk robe to start your day. This Olivia Von Halle robe does not disappoint.
Comfort doesn’t mean compromise. Look for fabrics like cashmere, brushed cotton, and a touch of silk that feels gentle on the skin. These materials offer both luxury and longevity, perfect for a woman who appreciates the finer details.
Things That Make the Day Feel Special
Sometimes it’s the smallest rituals that transform a day at home. Lighting a beautiful candle, applying a favourite body cream, or wrapping yourself in a silk robe can turn a moment into something meaningful. I’ve learned that luxury isn’t about excess, it’s about intention. And these little indulgences happen to make fantastic gifts as the season unfolds (in case you're looking).
Here's my edit, designed purely for you, on a day when you need it most.
So, if you find yourself craving quiet this week, take it. Rest is not a reward you earn; it’s a right you reclaim.
Here’s to the slower moments between busy days, and the joy of taking care of yourself, too.
