Sure, body type and color and trends are all important components of great style, but nothing is more unique to you than your personal style.

You can’t make a whole video about a single dress, can you? Because I almost did. This video idea came to me when I discovered the perfect dress. And we all know that’s like finding the fabled needle in a haystack. I kind of pride myself on finding needles-in-haystacks, from truly comfortable heels to well-priced […]

I didn’t have my first real boyfriend until after college. And I didn’t learn to fall in love with basic pieces, like cashmere sweaters and […]

I get asked so many times about how to pair boots with outfits, and I think we tend to overcomplicate the subject. I know I do. But here’s the bottom line. There are no rules. Not really. There are a few best practices, and there are lots of preferences, but rules? Not exactly. If it […]

You know how I always tell you should plan your outfits at the beginning of every week, or at the very least the night before, and what a game-changer it is? Well, I actually do that. I don’t share any strategies that I don’t use myself, and that haven’t worked for the women in my […]
