Main Topics & Key Discussion Points
1. Beauty Treatments & Skincare ([02:03])
- Botox: Liv shares she does Botox every 4-6 months at Facile (Monroe’s Place, LA) or with Melissa at Skin Thesis. She appreciates the results, especially a recent brow lift.
- Lip Filler: Tried lip filler in 2019/2020, didn’t love the effect, and hasn’t repeated it. She says, “I have a really low pain tolerance and I am bad with needles...just that tiny drop in my bottom lip is just not worth the insane cortisol spike.” ([03:13])
- PRX Peel: Did three PRX peels before her wedding, loved the rapid, no-downtime results—“It really tightened my skin...my under eyes were super tight and I barely had any.” ([04:12])
- Advice: Always do your research, work with practitioners with a “light hand” who listen to your wishes—don’t chase trends.
2. Designing Your Dream Closet ([06:01])
Liv’s process and advice:
- Live in your home first: Get to know the space before making major decisions.
- “You really have to live in it for a little while to know how you’re going to use it.” ([06:45])
- Prioritize access: Place everyday essentials where you can reach them easily. “My main cabinet...has my tops, all of my undergarments, my workout clothes and T-shirts—I’m in that space all day, every day.” ([08:00])
- Visibility is key: If you can’t see an item, “you will not reach for it.” Consider glass doors for bigger closets so you can still see your clothes.
- Sunlight alert: Don’t place racks near direct sun—“One side of a lot of my jackets...were slightly faded because the sun was hitting it.” ([10:10])
- Lighting: Use affordable LED strips for a “super luxurious” vibe.
- Personal inspiration: Closet should feel inspiring, not just a storage space.
3. Daily Structure & Content Creation ([12:27])
- Time blocking/batching: Liv and her team shoot content in concentrated sessions (typically Tuesdays, 10am–4pm), draft posts, and schedule everything out.
- Content calendar: Uses a Google Sheets calendar to map out posts, captions, and deadlines by month.
- Meetings with self: Schedules recurring “meetings” for podcast brainstorming, analytics, and more—“It has been really helpful for me to build structure into my day...highly recommend that.” ([13:47])
- Detailed planning: Every task—lunch, travel, even showers—goes into her calendar.
4. Styling: Jeans, Shoes & Proportions ([15:19])
- Making Flats, Boots, and Tennis Shoes Work with Jeans
- Pants should break at the ankle, showing a bit of skin for elongation.
- Prefers a straight or slightly tapered leg vs. wide leg.
- Recommends “Gavin Jean” from Anine Bing for the perfect crop.
- Adds: “That break in the jean and the shoe makes all the difference.” ([16:23])
- Socks: For loafers, a hint of sock makes the look intentional.
5. Five Wardrobe Pieces Liv Can’t Live Without ([17:40])
- Jeans
- Loves Anine Bing “Gavin Jean” and Reformation’s “Val Jean."
- Needs them soft and comfortable: “There’s, like, no better feeling than when you find that jean that is, like, so you...”
- Belts
- Sourced mainly from Orym Collective.
- Adds shape: “They add so much silhouette and shape to an outfit.” ([19:14])
- Pointed Toe Flats
- Favorites: Loro Piana and AEYDE.
- “My looks feel more elegant and sophisticated with a pointed toe.”
- Great Tees
- White tees from Shop RLT (“so buttery soft”) and Theory cashmere tees for texture.
- Loungewear & Workout Sets
- Frequently wears Set Active (workout) and Negative Underwear’s Whipped pajama collection (“the softest thing I’ve ever felt” ([21:32])).
- Prioritizes pieces that fit daily routines, not just dressing up.
6. Fall Wishlist ([22:35])
- Brown Everyday Bag: Eyeing "The Peggy" by The Row—“I love and live for a two-in-one bag...the Peggy is great for that.”
- Slim Layering Sweaters: Looking for lightweight, high-quality knits from Morgan Stewart, Guest in Residence, or Theory.
7. What to Wear: Plane & Dog Walks ([24:04])
- Trench Coats: “I could be wearing pajamas...put a trench coat over that and no one would know...” A lightweight, multi-tasking outerwear essential for travel and quick errands.
- Cozy Sets & Hoodies: Enza Costa twill pants and Aritzia TNA hoodies (“the navy one is my favorite...so chic with anything”).
- Pockets and Utility: Emphasizes enjoying layers that are both comfortable and practical.
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

- “You really have to live in it for a little while to know how you’re going to use it.” ([06:45])
