Curated by a Duchess: Little Luxuries & Everyday Upgrades Inspired by With Love, Meghan
You ever watch something "for the plot" and suddenly your bank account is under attack? That’s exactly what happened when I tuned into With Love, Meghan.
Personally, I live for an aesthetic moment, but I didn't go into it expecting to walk away with a shopping wishlist. I signed up for royal-yet-cozy vibes, and somehow left with an unexpected need to channel my inner duchess. By the third episode, I accepted the truth: With Love, Meghan isn’t just a show, it’s an aesthetic ambush. The kind that leaves you fully convinced a $40 ribbed glass teapot is a need, not a want. You don’t realize it’s happening until you catch yourself reaching for a prettier mug, lighting a candle “just because,” and pretending your life is one cozy, curated montage.
Episode 1 — Hello Honey with Daniel Martin
Glass Tea Kettle
One minute you’re watching someone sprinkle edible flowers on a salad, the next you’re Googling “where to buy flower sprinkles” like it’s a perfectly normal Tuesday. Honestly, it felt like I was scrolling through my own Pinterest boards — all the cozy vibes, pretty little details, and that gentle reminder that even the everyday deserves to feel a little special.
With Love, Meghan reminded me why I started Albie Knows in the first place. The show practically illustrates my love language — equal parts cozy and curated, where everyday things are styled with intention and the simple moments feel beautifully elevated. Somewhere between the jam-making, garden-harvesting, and “effortlessly” styled outfit changes, I found myself mentally adding things to my cart. Meghan’s perfectly homemade creamer, her chic ceramic mug, and her signature “barely-there” makeup glow had me leaning all the way in. It’s that kind of cozy, cashmere-wrapped energy that whispers, "you deserve nice things".
The longer I watched, the more I caught myself thinking... “Hmm, I could use one of those.” Little by little, the list started writing itself...
Arnica Oil... because apparently, this stuff is the secret weapon for bruises and soreness — “I use a lot of Arnica in my house. That's toddler life! Lots of bumps and bruises.” As a mom this was an immediate google & add to cart.
Bracelet & Watch Stack... because understated but rich. You know the vibes — “Oh, this old thing? Just casually layering Cartier and heirlooms.” Spoiler: I’ll be pretending by stacking Etsy finds and getting a gold link band for my Apple Watch.
Ribbed Glass Teapot & Matching Glass Tea Set... because no one drinks bagged tea on With Love, Meghan or at the hygge ranch. Everyone knows you need clear glass to show off your hand-selected organic loose-leaf blend... duh.
Wicker Harvest Basket... because how don't I already have one for when I get the garden in order and actuallyharvest... or for carrying produce from the car to the kitchen.
Episode 2 — Welcome to the Party with Mindy Kahling
Garden Clog
Immersion Blender... because my husband has already been wanting one for years and I never saw the point. This felt like a sign. If Meghan’s blending soups straight in the pot, so am I. #DomesticDuchessVibes.
Glass Dessert Goblets... because dessert just hits different when it’s served in a glass goblet.
Tiered Tea Tray... because one does not simply eat snacks off a plate when a tiered tray is available. Finger sandwiches and tiny pastries only, please. The mini agrees.
Blue Chinaware... because every time I saw it on her table, I could practically hear the sound of generational wealth and couldn't help thinking that these would make great heirlooms for my girls.
Episode 2 — Welcome to the Party with Mindy Kahling
blue floral motif Plates
Honey Sticks... because spoons are so... common.
Apricots & Golden Berries... because they're gorgeous & sound delicious. Fresh, dried, or floating in a tea-infused cocktail, now I need these fruits in my kitchen and maybe even in my garden. And, yes... yes I did google the zone hardiness for both.
White Scalloped Appetizer Plates... because no appetizer deserves to be served on a flat, plain plate ever again. It’s scallops or nothing. I was actually surprised these weren't already in my dinnerware collection. I'm slipping.
Flower Sprinkles... because if you’re not topping your food with tiny florals, what are you even doing? This was peak soft flex throughout the series.
Homemade Donuts... because sadly, I already own a donut pan that's been collecting dust for years. Meghan subtly shamed me into actually using it. Mini is stoked!
Sun Tea... because what do you mean I just leave it out on the porch to steep?! Excuse me while I go look for a jar worthy of such an honor.
Le Creuset... because it’s not just cookware, it’s a status symbol.
Garden Crocs/Clogs... because there’s something chic about looking like you just came back from pruning roses, even if your “garden” is a work in progress & has been relegated to a single basil plant on the kitchen windowsill. Yes... I'm shading myself.
Straw Sun Visor & Wide-Brim Straw Hat... because protect your skin, but make it fashion. Suddenly, just having one black canvas visor isn't enough. I need a collection of headgear for frolicking in my backyard.
Terracotta-Colored Dress... because it's basically the fashion version of golden hour lighting and screams "effortlessly pulled together" without really even trying.
Wide-Leg Pinstripe Cream Pants... because they're soft, neutral, and just structured enough to scream “effortlessly elegant.” Where am I wearing them? Nowhere. My closet will love em tho.
Tatcha Beauty Products... because a healthy, dewy glow doesn’t apply itself. Seeing as to how I'm in a season of revitalizing my skincare routine, now Tatcha is on my radar.
Grow Edible Flowers... because nothing says “I have my life together” like garnishing your meals with flowers you grew yourself.

We see so much talk on social media about "aesthetic lifestyles", the "soft life", and "romanticizing the everyday" but watching With Love, Meghan is like sitting through a masterclass on how it’s actually done. It’s not about perfection. It’s about creating little pockets of joy, slowing down, making space for the beautiful, and letting even the simplest routines feel intentional. At the end of the day, that’s the real magic: you don’t need a royal title to live like the main character.You just need a few thoughtful pieces, a pinch of hygge, and the willingness to swap “good enough” for “why not make it lovely?”
If you're here for some charmingly unnecessary essentials, I’ve rounded up the little luxuries and everyday upgrades With Love, Meghan made me want to buy (or try). Warning: these finds may cause sudden urges to light a candle, pour a fancy cup of tea, and cuddle up in a cashmere throw. And honestly? Your inner duchess will thank you.
If you catch me sipping sun tea in a wide-brim hat and pretending I harvest apricots for a living... mind your business. Will buying a wicker harvest basket make my garden more serene and photogenic? Unlikely. Will it make me feel 10% closer to living my best soft life? Absolutely.
It’s not about copying Meghan move for move. It’s about letting a little of that soft, intentional magic slip into the everyday. It’s the same sweet spot I’m always chasing — making home and life feel special, not perfect. Whether it’s a new mug, a soft throw, or the simple ritual of tea at golden hour, a well-lived life is all about the details.
Here’s to channeling duchess energy — one Le Creuset, tea tray, and sun hat at a time. We deserve.
