It’s about time we officially met.. 👋🏻

Hi, I’m Amber! After 12 years in the fashion industry (NYC to LA), I traded the coasts for the Midwest to raise my family. I’ve spent the last 10 years as a stay-at-home boy mom, and now that they’re a little more independent, I’m finding space for *me* again.

Now I’m back to sharing what I love most:

✨Styling tips for both fashion and home
✨Finding the best dupes for a designer look (without the price tag)
✨Beauty products that make us feel like our best selves
✨And of course the chaos that is mom life

I’m passionate about helping women feel like the best version of themselves—confident, seen, and inspired in every area of life. So excited to connect and share this next chapter with you. Thank you for being here!

💗

Charleston OOTD. Such a cute matching set from @Commense I’m in a medium and the vest is very fitted. Size up if you want a little more room. A great option for so many different events— 10/10

Some days, I don’t feel like doing anything for myself. But I’ve learned that showing up small still counts and does WONDERS for my mood, mental health, productivity— all the things.

So how do I show up for myself on hard days?

✨ I shower. It may seem like a given, but IYKYK.

✨ I get dressed. Even if I have nowhere to go and I’m home all day with the boys, I put on a fresh set. And perfume.

✨ I get outside for a walk, even if it’s just 20 minutes. The sun on my face makes me feel like a new person.

✨ I play music in the background, because music is life and proven to reduce stress hormones.

✨ I read a devotional. Each read is 5 minutes and pours so much into me.. it’s makes a huge difference in my day.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about being intentional.

We’re not just learning how to dress our new bodies..
we’re learning how to show up for ourselves again. Or maybe for the first time ever.

But seriously…
Shorts season is coming and I’m not letting that voice win this year.

You know the one. The “I can’t wear that” voice. The “my legs aren’t good enough” voice.

Here’s the truth: Your legs carried you through pregnancies. Through exhaustion. Through showing up for everyone else.

Whether you choose shorts, a flowy midi, or linen pants that breathe, the goal isn’t to “fix” anything. It’s to get dressed without the mental battle.

And if you still prefer to wear something with length— I got you. Warm weather content coming next. ☀️

Follow for real-life styling that actually makes sense.

Fun fact: word on the street is “matching sets are OUT.” But I’m not hearing that— not as a mom. A cute set is truly a mom’s best friend when their babies are the top priority. And we keep it real around here.

Spring on the horizon makes me want to refresh all the spaces, even the kitchen. What I loved most about this champagne bronze collection is the matching latch! Such a high end look and reminds me of my favorite interior designer.

Pro tip: I went with knobs on all the doors and pulls on all the drawers (various sizes). Then I chose a few focal cabinets for the latches, like above the fridge and under the sink. I couldn’t love them more.

This is for the version of you that keeps going quietly.

We do it sad.
We do it broke.
We do it tired.
We do it alone.

And even when it seems impossible— we keep going.

Because we refuse to settle.
Because we trust the process
Because we have faith in the timing.
Because we are breaking the cycle.

Maturing is realizing no one is coming to validate the hard parts.

So we validate ourselves.
And we keep building anyway.

Our home is a work in progress since we purchased an old fixer upper near the lake. Obsessed with finding budget pieces that look expensive and these do not disappoint! Love that they have the matching latch. Also linking a few other look-for-less finds.

I stopped doing these 4 things and noticed my style (and my confidence) improve instantly:

1. I stopped listening to mega fashion-influencers. (Just keeping it real). They are walking billboards for many retailers that I don’t even like. There’s zero personalization. Which leads me to number two..

2. I stopped buying clothes that I thought I should like. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the hundreds of micro trends every season, they’re fun! But it gets confusing QUICK. Don’t allow social media trends to dictate your wardrobe. You are too unique for that.

3. I stopped holding onto clothes I haven’t worn in years. Getting dressed should feel effortless and inspiring. What’s not inspiring is seeing clothes hanging in your closet that either don’t fit or simply don’t inspire you anymore. Let’s edit that wardrobe so it serves you again.

4. I stopped comparing myself to others.
Confidence is the best accessory you could ever wear. Once I started to work on my inner joy and gratitude is when my confidence really flourished. It truly is *THE* game changer.

If you want more of these vibes, be sure to follow. Here for you! 🫶 Linking all the outfits you see in this video, from @Commense and dress from Lulus.

Styling Cheat Sheet for common areas women may want to soften.✨

It’s not about hiding your body, it’s about drawing the eye. Choosing items with the correct cut and style for your body type can make a world of difference, not only in your outfit, but in your confidence too.

Bigger arms: Thin, drapey fabrics are great because they don’t add a bulk in the sleeve.

Short neck: V-necks allow your skin to show, lengthening the space between your neck and your bust.

Long neck: Higher neck lines give the illusion of a shorter neck, offering more balance.

Narrow shoulders: Off-the-shoulder tops will add width, balancing proportions with your hips.

Thicker middle: I love flowy fit blouses because they graze over the body, suggesting your shape without being tight and uncomfortable. Bonus if you can add structure (like a blazer).

Here to help you get the most out of your wardrobe. What areas should I cover next? Linking the fits I’m wearing 🫶🏼

#LTKOver40 #LTKstorytime #LTKmomlife

I learned this in a season when buying more wasn’t an option. I was home with littles, our budget was tight, my body had changed, and social media made it feel like everyone else had it figured out except me.

So I started to learn how to make what I already had work. Still nodding at the current trends, but in a way that lengthened my closet— not replace it.

• repeating outfits with a twist
• styling basics in new ways
• only buying key pieces that are timeless
• getting creative instead of getting more

And honestly, it changed the way I see fashion-influencing forever.

When the coat is the outfit. 💅🏻 This coat from Commense is $59 and an identical Look for Less. It’s giving MAJOR bougie on a budget vibes. Leaning into the shorts with tights this winter because I’m so tired of my jeans and it makes me feel more put together.

For the coat, I’m in a size small. Size up if you want a more boxy oversized fit.
