Brunello, Birkins & a $125K Himalayan Croc My Collection

64 Michelin Restaurants, a Grandchild & a $22M House: Life Update with Joe

We drop napkins at Michelin restaurants on purpose, and time how long it takes them to pick it up. (Single Thread? 21 seconds. Per Se? 55. Barcelona? Three and a half minutes.) In this episode, I sit down with my husband Joe for a fun catch-up on everything going on in our lives right now. We recap our 12-year anniversary weekend at the Bel Air Hotel, the spa, the Marilyn Monroe history, caviar and truffle fries by the pool, and a 2006 Château Latour at Michelin two-star restaurant Mille's that was one of the best wines we've ever had. We also share the big news: we're grandparents! Baby Noah is here (9 lbs 1 oz, came out perfect), our daughter Kelly just landed at Cook Children's in Fort Worth, and Joe opens up about what it actually feels like to be "Pops." Plus, our Ocean Boulevard new build in Newport Beach is weeks away from hitting the market, and we're breaking down the strategy behind no open houses, James Roper Curzon artwork, and why the right buyer just needs to walk in and fall in love.

Brunello, Birkins & a $125K Himalayan Croc My Collection

Why are luxury pieces so expensive, and are they actually worth it? Today I'm taking you inside my Laguna Beach closet to break it all down. From a $3,000 Brunello Cucinelli sweater I got for a fraction of the price, to the rarest Hermès bag in the world (a Himalayan crocodile Birkin that Joe gifted me for our 10-year anniversary), I'm showing you what's in my closet, why these pieces cost what they do, and how I shop luxury for less. We're getting into Brunello's humanistic capitalism philosophy, the small Italian village where one person hand-crafts each piece, my 70%-off Neiman Marcus strategy, Hermès Togo leather and saddle stitching, and an incredible alternative from my friend Mookie Bolton whose exotic bags rival a $70,000 Kelly for a fraction of the price. Plus Joe surprised me with the sweetest anniversary gift, you'll see it.
