Alexa Von Tobel, Founder of LearnVest
11
ALEXA VON TOBEL may be the founder of LearnVest, a personal finance site for women that extolls the virtue of minding your wallet, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand the merits of personal style. After all, Alexa has a motto of "get up, dress up, show up." This is just one of the gems you might pick up through Learnvest's budgeting tools, boot camps, blogs, and newsletter which all aim to help users have the best life possible—all while living within their means. Both lady-like and practical, Alexa is never one to be caught without a cell phone charger, a pen for taking notes, or, well, a statement necklace. So herewith,
the 11 things Alexa Von Tobel invests in.
- 1
Salvatore Ferragamo Attimo L'eau Florale
I am obsessed with this scent for every day use. One of my best friends gave it to me as a gift, and I can't get enough.

Cynthia Rowley Brocade Dress
I wear dresses 6-7 days out of the week, and I love the lady-like shapes of Cynthia Rowley's designs. She's one of my
go-tos! - 3
Chanel Glossimer in Jalousie &
Dior 'Diorshow' Mascara in Azure BlueGenerally, I don't wear a ton of makeup, but I love a little lipstick in this color. And I'm a huge fan of shades of mascara that add a pop of color.

Wolford Tights
Tights are a must for fall and winter. No brand beats Wolford—both elegant and durable. I stock up each time the weather turns colder.

LeSportsac Cosmetic Cases
I keep a pouch in every purse and bag that I routinely use that is packed with an iPhone charger, safety pins, and pens. That way I don't have to transfer my pouch to a new bag every morning: I'm always covered.

Dannijo Naomi Necklace in Gold
I actually grew up with Dannijo's founders, Jodi and Danielle Snyder, and watched the company come together. I love every piece they make and it all has a personal meaning too! - 7
Vitabath Original Spring Green Bath & Shower Gelee
This is my drugstore secret—it is to die for. I've used it since I was child and plan on continuing as long as it is on the shelves. It is great for a bubble bath—it softens and smells SO fresh.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers
I live for these. They really are magic. They remove scuff marks and stains off everything. Genius!

Lysol Dual Action Disinfecting Wipes
I like to keep my workspace and home clean. Clean=organized

Google Calendar
I plan my entire day in 15-minute intervals so this calendar is a necessity. Plus, Google allows me to sync all of my calendars, which keeps me from missing an important call or meeting.

Lily of the Valley Soy Aromatherapy Candle
This is by far the best smelling candle and it lasts a long time (30+ hours!). It goes perfect with a bath.
