Something is definitely wrong here. I’m shopping for boots while wearing a gauzy dress designed to touch my skin as little as possible because it is so hot that fabric feels like a punishment. And stores are filled with sweaters and bikinis. At the same time. It must be August in Florida, where the same […]

Before you skip this one and think that I’m going to be telling you to buy a white button-down (again), this is not that kind of a post. I’m hoping after the multiple videos and checklists and posts on wardrobe essentials, you have the basics boxes checked in your wardrobe. These are a whole different […]

I’m not typically a fan of wishy-washy trends. I like a dress that knows what it truly is and isn’t afraid to express it. A mini, for example, knows it’s short and sassy, while a maxi is long and breezy. But a midi? It can’t seem to make up its mind. Fortunately, I decided to […]

Sometimes we overcomplicate things a little. Or maybe that’s just me. If you really want an elevated and polished wardrobe that represents your style with minimal effort, you’ll start with these essential pieces.

I recently ran into a friend at a party who said she had given up on wearing dresses. “I have no waist,” she moaned. “I look like a cardboard box with legs.” Looking at my gorgeous friend, who is in her late 60s, I knew that this was untrue, but I didn’t have time at […]

Sometimes I feel like my job as your personal stylist and fashion friend is kind of like the role of that mom who breaks up the teen parties. She means well, but she’s not a lot of fun. How many times have you seen a printed item shared in the Facebook group only to hear […]

I’ve built hundreds of capsule wardrobes for hundreds of different women in my 15 years as a personal stylist. I love the challenge and the creativity of finding the perfect pieces to reflect a client’s unique lifestyle and personal style, and ensuring they all work together to create a versatile wardrobe. For the right client, […]

To tuck or not to tuck. That is the question. And apparently, it’s a loaded one. I have always been a little baffled by the responses I’ve had from women over the years whenever I suggest tucking. The shock and horror. But here’s the secret: More often than not, tucking is going to be a […]
