FIVE
I am so excited to feature Whitney Port on today’s newsletter!!
If you are a millennial, you know her best from the iconic MTV's "The Hills" and her spinoff series "The City," since then she has made a significant mark as a creative director and fashion designer including starting her own fashion label, Love, Whit, which showcases her unique style and creative vision. In addition to her successful ventures in the fashion industry, Whitney has also made a name for herself in the podcasting world with her highly popular show, "With Whit."
My podcast, “With Whit,” is a project I am incredibly proud of. I pour my heart and soul into it each week. It is home to real, raw personal audio journals from me and conversations with guests ranging from friends and family to fashion, health, beauty, and parenting experts. Notable guests include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Anine Bing, Lauren Conrad, Meena Harris, Aliza Pressman, Katherine Power, and Hillary Kerr. Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode! Take a listen here!
She also does an amazing series with her husband where they react to old episodes of both The Hills and The City. It is such a good binge watch and the nostalgia!! Vogue agrees. Whitney was so kind to answer a few questions about her current favorites, from skincare to her favorite white tee, fashion brands, art and what she currently has in her pantry! Let’s get into it:
Skincare secrets! Your skin is absolutely stunning! An icon! What are your current top shelf products that you are loving? I.e., your repeat purchases, keep coming back to items etc. Included in that, any facials, devices or treatments that have been the most impactful.
Hydra facial to clean skin and derma-planning to get rid of peach fuzz & also exfoliate. I do this myself with these scalpels from Amazon or I go to an esthetician that does it.
VH Skincare Method Peel Pads once a week. Who What Wear agrees!
Extra toning after cleansing with Indie Lee COQ-10 toner. (We love a double cleanse!)
The skin is skinning!!!
Continuing on with the subject of beauty & skincare, what are your top 3 favorite makeup products right now?
Rinna Beauty Larger Than Life Lip Plumping Oil
Ilia Liquid Powder Eye Tint in Dove
I can’t wait to try all of these!! Also Lisa Rinna’s beauty brand- AMAZING.
Fashion! I have been a long time follower of your style, you truly have some amazing taste. Let's talk basics. What is your go-to favorite white tee, black belt and jeans? Any other favorite pieces (or brands) right now?
Favorite white tee is the Redone x Hanes classic tee and favorite jeans are Agolde low rise baggy. (These come in so many good colors like this black + white!)
Favorite black belt is Streets Ahead Black/Silver Belt. (Their Romi belt looks very cool too).
Favorite brands right now are:
DISSH - We love Dissh!!
NILI LOTAN- Classic Fave
Salomon Sneakers - Loving Salomon’s right now too, it is their moment. You can see Whitney wearing her red salomon’s here- they are so good!
Some fitspo from Whitney’s Instagram:
In this newsletter, I share my current screenshots and ask people to share some of theirs. What are a few things you have recently screenshotted on your phone that you have been wanting to try or have been eyeing as of recent?
Wallpaper- thinking about wall papering the primary bathroom at WP. INC HQ, but I have to act fast if I want to do that. This is one of the options I am choosing from.
Mood board for my Spring 24 RTR Collection.
A song I was feeling at the moment. Strange- Celeste
A candelabra I ended up purchasing.
Art! Who is your favorite artist right now? Or a piece of art hanging in your home, a piece that is on your wishlist etc.
Good question! I am dying to find a new piece of art for our living room but I am not educated in art. If I am being perfectly honest, I am a little intimidated with where to begin. I love old landscape paintings and always find special old paintings on our travels.
Zhu Ohmu (@zhu.ohmu) is an incredible ceramicist and Paul Arnhold glass (paularnholdglass) makes beautiful pieces but I am a big vintage/antique buyer when it comes to home goods.
Bonus questions!
What are you currently reading? Or a book you always recommend to your friends.
Currently reading Minka Kelly’s autobiography, Tell Me Everything.
Recently loved the book Pineapple Street, fun/light/interesting read.
Current favorite snacks + supplements in the fridge or pantry?
A massive thank you to Whitney for taking the time to share all of her favorite things! Give her a follow on Instagram and watch for her new collection dropping with Rent The Runway! Don’t forget her podcast as well!
Thanks for reading, see you next time!
I’m taking notes - great issue Moll!
