OBJECTS OF AFFECTION: Mindful Bride

A collection of conscious products, people and places that I’m coveting.

This new monthly series is an ode to my editorial days.

Growing up in the fashion closets of Cosmopolitan and Italian Vogue, you could say I have a keen eye for curation. And given one of my latest polls on Instagram, you all agree — and want more of it!

Although I left the fashion world nearly six years ago, I still test, cover and covet some of the latest and greatest in sustainable fashion, clean beauty, wellness travel and soul-centered living. I’ll feature some of my newfound finds and longtime loves in this newsletter.

I hope this series makes your heart skip a beat like it does mine.

Let’s get into the first edition — Mindful Bride, because if you haven’t already heard, he put a ring on it and I’m kicking off my bridal journey with utmost intention.

The Shinery | Nontoxic Ring Cleaning Wipes

I gifted my future sister-in-law these clean ring wipes nearly a year ago and thankfully, they came full circle back to me when I got engaged. They’re nontoxic, filled with only five clean ingredients, and are currently stashed in every purse. They aren’t biodegradable, but perhaps this write-up will nudge them in that direction. 

Over the Moon | Chic Registry Site

This bridal registry is like the fashionable fairy godmother of wishlists. They have the chicest china, bridal styling and a page to personalize your love story as a digital keepsake. Full disclosure, I have only created a login because I keep getting distracted by their edit. Whether you’re a bride or not, their store will swoon you. 

Octavia Elizabeth | Fine Gold Jewelry, Bespoke Engagement Rings

I wasn’t the type of girl who ever had a wedding vision board. Although, there was one time I bookmarked a ring designer from a magazine thanks to her elevated, sustainable ethos. Flash forward about three years later and I’m sitting at a potluck in LA across from a petite brunette with exquisite accessories. Indeed it was Octavia and we gushed over this cosmic synchronicity. 

Hopefully soon we’ll turn that tattered magazine tab into a tangible reality as we’re perusing our wedding bands here!

Sakara Bridal Nutrition Program | Plant-based, Organic, Ready-to-Eat Meals

I’m currently devouring Sakara’s Fall Reset and have my eyes set on their Bridal program. These plant-forward organic meals are convenient and honestly, beautiful. They genuinely make me feel amazing. I’ve been a fan for nearly six years now — having my first Sakara salad from the comfort of my hospital bed during chemo. They truly laid the foundation for the plant-forward intuitive lifestyle I live by today. 

Until next time! If you have any special roundup requests, comment below!

with love 🤍
