PLUM X LXRY

The Winter Edit

The holidays used to arrive with noise.
Lists. Deadlines. Expectations that piled up faster than the snow outside my window.

But over the years, I’ve learned something quieter, truer.
The season doesn’t need more pressure.
It needs more presence.

It needs intention.

This Winter Edit was born from that realization, shaped by the belief that luxury isn’t a price point.
It’s a feeling.
A pace.
A way of choosing what carries you through the rest of the year.

Luxury is the energy you allow in your world, and the calm you protect while everything else rushes past.

So, welcome to the first Plum x LXRY Winter Edit, a curated collection of my signature picks for the season.
Each item has a purpose.
Each piece holds a mood.
Each selection reflects the kind of leadership I believe in, one built on presence, ritual, and self-honoring clarity.

These aren’t “gift guide” suggestions.
They’re anchors.
Objects and experiences that invite you to breathe deeper, live slower, and reconnect with the version of yourself that refuses to be rushed.

✨ The Edit | My Signature Picks

1. The Lariat

A piece that feels like grounding energy in wearable form.
Clean lines. Quiet elegance. The reminder that your presence is your first impression, long before you ever speak.

Find it Here ✨

2. The Star Journal

A companion for the version of you who thinks in constellations.
For the insights that arrive late at night or between meetings.
A place to honor your becoming, page by page.

Find it Here ✨

3. Maison Candles

Fragrance that shifts a room the way intention shifts a day.
Warm, architectural, sensory without overwhelm.
Perfect for resetting your energy between roles, routines, or responsibilities.

Find it Here ✨

4. Himalayan Diffuser

A soft ritual for evenings when your mind won’t quiet on its own.
The kind of scent that lets the nervous system unclench.
A breath disguised as ambiance.

Find it Here ✨

5. Root & Ritual: Friday Flowdown

The weekend reset every leader needs but rarely makes space for.
A guided practice that slows the pace of your week so you can enter your weekend as a person, not a performer.

This isn’t productivity.
It’s preservation.


Why These Picks Matter

Everything in this collection was chosen with one question in mind:
Does it help you reclaim your energy?

Not in a performative, hustle-wrapped, “new year, new goals” way.
In a human way.
In a leadership way.
In a “my presence deserves care” way.

Because the truth is simple.
We don’t rise from pressure.
We rise from replenishment.


A Season of Fewer Things, but Better Things

This winter, I’m choosing:

  • objects that restore me

  • rituals that stabilize me

  • tools that remind me of who I am becoming

Everything else can wait.

The Plum x LXRY Winter Edit is my way of inviting you into that same gentler, more intentional rhythm.

Not to buy your way into transformation.
But to choose the items, experiences, and energies that support the leader you are stepping into next.

Because luxury isn’t excess.
Luxury is discernment.


Let your intuition guide you toward what your season actually needs.
