A Megan Huntz Selena blouse in black would be a dream, because her pieces have a way of making me feel like I can take over the world (or at least get through the holidays in one piece). $260, meganhuntz.com

Hydration is the key to pretty much everything. Drinking water is made a million times more enjoyable when it comes from a Glacce Bottle. These glass bottles have crystals inside to add energy, revitalization, positivity, and more. If this can’t help with water intake, I don’t know what will. From $80, glaccebottles.com

I don’t need a suit often, but sometimes it is necessary. Sid Mashburn makes them timeless, and it tells a story about Atlanta. The Kincaid No. 3 in Heather Blue Plainweave is blue enough but not too blue. $1,250, Sid Mashburn, Westside Provisions District, sidmashburn.com
