Cozy up with these warm accessories. My favorites are the cableknit pieces. I have some sets from Talbots previous seasons. Every woman needs a matching hat, scarf, and a pair of gloves. It pulls your cold weather outfits together i’m giving you a polished look. If you already have a matching set, I highly suggest grabbing a pair of their cozy socks, or an extra hat. I love the ivory teddy hat and the camel cap is very warm! Make sure you add a wrap for milder days and for sitting on the couch by your fireplace. talbots hocspring gloves winterhat scarf LOFT amazondeals LTKStyleTip LTKFindsUnder100 LTKSeasonal LTKGiftGuide LTKFindsUnder50 LTKCyberWeek

Discover the new rivete denim at LOFT! With so many sizes and styles, you're sure to find your perfect pair.

My top two picks after trying on more styles are:
1. The dark wash Slim Mid Rise/Regular/Regular — it has timeless lines that follow your natural curves. Since it's shorter than other styles, it hits just above my shoes, which I think is perfect for warmer months ahead. I plan to style them with a cute cropped top, a belt, and sandals.

2. The Mid Wash Relaxed Wide Leg High Rise/Regular/Petite. Fun,I truly enjoy how fashionable and comfy these jeans are. I love the way they fit perfectly and accentuate my shape beautifully.

All styles passed my sit test and had just the right stretch. I tagged the ones I tried on first, then listed two tops I tried on and bought, then some other denim styles available.

If you're curious about rivete denim labels, here's a quick guide:
Slim
Mid Rise/ Regular/ Regular — reading from left to right, it means the style, waist height, fit, and length.

I received training on the different fits and styles, so feel free to ask me any questions you have!

Discover your perfect cocktail dress or formal gown in this beautiful collection—ideal for celebrating a wedding! 💕
While I really like how the aqua dress looks on me, the pink one is my favorite. I adore its structure and pattern, and I love that it has hidden pockets.
The aqua dress looks a bit different from the picture on the website. It's not quite as shimmery as it appears online. Instead of sequins, it has silver thread running through the fabric, giving it a subtle shine. Overall, I think it’s a nice choice. It features built-in cups, a flattering waistline, and see-through sleeves that add a lovely touch.

I lead a busy life so comfort is as important as staying stylish. I’ve always said when you look good, you feel good, even in a pair of sweatpants.
Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me. I like to share my favorite supplements and workout apparel with friends and family. I’ve written a best selling Amazon book on how to begin your health and wellness journey. It’s called Take Back Your Life One Relationship at a Time. It’s like having a health coach in your home 🤗

This dress makes me feel like I stepped right out of Bridgerton. 🤍✨

I couldn’t resist this Amazon find! It’s lightweight, but not see through, incredibly comfortable, has pockets (always a win! 🙌), and the silhouette along with the color gives me all the romantic, summer sunset vibes.

And yes… I’m wearing those shoes again. 😂 They’re quickly becoming my summer staple because they’re so comfortable, and they seem to go with everything.

You’ll also notice my legs have a little extra glow today. 😉 I put on a fresh coat of the self-tanner this morning, and I’m still amazed at how natural it looks on my very fair skin.

I’ve linked the dress, my favorite shoes, and the self-tanning kit below! 🤍

Simple. Classic. Effortless. 🤍

This is one of those outfits that makes me feel put together without even trying. The paper bag pants are flattering and comfortable, the blended linen top is lightweight and easy to wear, and yes… I’m wearing those shoes again! 😂

I’ve said it before, but they’re honestly one of the most comfortable pairs I own. They give me a little height, go with everything, and I can wear them for hours.

Sometimes the simplest outfits become the ones you reach for over and over again.

I’ve linked everything below! 🤍✨

I finally found the perfect way to wear these two pieces for my style personality! 🤍✨

I’ve tried these pants and this top several different ways, but together—with the gold sandals—they finally feel like me: polished, feminine, relaxed and just a little fun.

That’s what personal style is really about. Not just wearing what looks good, but finding the combinations that feel like you.

I’ve linked the pieces from this look below. 🤍

This outfit is full of favorites! ❤️

These shorts sold out once already, and I have a feeling they may do it again! I love the retro details, the fit, and that gorgeous red.

The ruffle-sleeve top is actually about four years old and still one of my favorites because it’s so comfortable and cute. Since it’s no longer available, I linked a similar option with that same feminine feel.

And can we talk about these shoes? I’ve worn them for hours at a time, and they are seriously so comfortable! I love finding a shoe that gives me a little height and still lets me stay on my feet without regretting it later. 😂

And yes… that’s the self-tanner again! 😉 As someone with very fair skin, I still can’t get over how natural and even it looks on me.

I’ve linked the exact shorts, shoes and self-tanning kit, along with a similar ruffle-sleeve top. ❤️✨

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Can we talk about these shoes for a minute? 🤍

I don’t say this often, but these are one of those purchases I’m so glad I made. They’re incredibly comfortable, have the perfect low wedge, and I can wear them for hours without my feet complaining. Finding shoes that are both stylish and comfortable feels like a win!

The rest of this outfit is from LOFT and has quickly become one of my summer favorites. I’m wearing their short-sleeve cotton baby doll tee with beautiful eyelet details, paired with this gorgeous printed wrap skirt. Instead of wearing the coordinating scarf around my neck, I tied it around my waist as a belt—and I love how it adds color, defines my waist, and gives the outfit a polished, styled look. The lightweight sweater I’m holding is perfect to throw on when the air conditioning is a little too chilly.

✨ Color & Confidence Tip: Don’t overlook your scarves! They make beautiful belts, handbag accessories, or even hair ties. Sometimes shopping your own closet is the best styling trick of all.

I’ve linked the shoes, top, skirt, scarf, and sweater if you’d like to recreate the look!

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Okay, here’s my little secret… 😉

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how fair my skin is, so I’ve always been a little cautious with self-tanner. Too dark, too orange, streaky… no thank you. 😂

But I recently tried this self-tanning kit, and I was genuinely surprised by how natural and even the color looked on me. In photos, my legs honestly look like they’ve been airbrushed—but they haven’t! No filter, no editing, just a really beautiful, even tan that works with my very fair skin.

The kit comes with a mitt for your body and a super soft fluffy brush for your face, which made application so much easier, especially for getting a smooth, even finish.

I don’t want to look overly tan or like a completely different person—I just want a little natural-looking color. And this gave me exactly that. 🤎

I linked the exact kit I used because this one truly impressed me!

I wasn’t planning on buying a new swimsuit this summer…until I saw these! 🤎💚

Lands’ End has some beautiful swimwear on sale, and I fell in love with the rich olive greens, chocolate browns, and flattering mix-and-match pieces. I picked up two tankinis, two swim skirts, and rash guard so I can create several different looks.

As a color analyst, I couldn’t help but notice how gorgeous these warm, earthy shades are—but you don’t have to know your season to appreciate a flattering swimsuit! 😉

I’ve linked everything here in case you’re shopping for a new suit while the sale is still going on.

Embrace the beach vibes with the current trending summer colors in lilac and light blue. This scoopneck ribbed T-shirt from Talbots is my absolute favorite staple in my wardrobe—I've got it in so many colors! It always fits perfectly and radiates that perfect summer vibe. Just add a comfy pair of flip-flops to keep that relaxed feel. I’m wearing a petite small. Also, light wash cropped wide-leg jeans are right on trend and give off that fresh summer look. Remember to pair them with flip-flops to keep the style easygoing and fun. I'm wearing a regular size 4.

Yes, these Brami tops from OGLmove are supportive! I’m a 34D, and you can see from the side that there’s no sagging 🙌🏻. I was a bit skeptical when I placed my order, but now I’m convinced. I’m wearing a size small. The top is well-made, thicker than I expected, ribbed, very soft, and comfortable with plenty of stretch. When it arrived, one of the cups had a dent in it. I quickly contacted customer support, and they provided instructions on how to steam the dent out of the cup. It worked perfectly. I also bought two other items that didn’t fit quite right, and Customer Service was fast to assist. If you’ve been hesitating, don’t wait any longer. I recommend sizing up if you want a bit more room in your top.

When I saw this skirt, I just knew I had to have it! It’s such a versatile piece that you can wear all year round by pairing it with tank tops, short sleeves, or cozy sweaters. A charming little short denim jacket would look absolutely fabulous with it. As autumn and winter roll around, you can add tall or short boots for a perfect touch.

This top is amazing! It comes in several colors, but this one is my absolute favorite. I’m wearing a size extra small. It’s super soft and lightweight, perfect for warm or hot days. Designed to be cropped and boxy, it gives me 80s vibes without being overly short like some 80s styles.

It’s been a few weeks since I last visited LOFT. I tried on some of their newer items. This top is fun and stylish, with a touch of autumn vibe. I paired it with my favorite Loft jeans and belt. I love the look with the gold sandals. I’ve had these for a few years, but I have a new pair on the way that I can’t wait to share with you!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKootd

I always get excited when you pick out versatile pieces that you can wear in so many different ways. I absolutely adore my butter-yellow top combined with my cream paper bag pants, and my tan handbag and sandals. These items are getting a lot of wear from my spring capsule wardrobe 💛

I need organization, and throwing my earrings into a small dish made it time-consuming to pick out the desired colors. This was an amazing deal that checked all my boxes. I chose the five-drawer option instead of the three because I like having the two bottom pullouts to store other accessories that were lying around. The cabinet is lightweight—I wish it were made of thicker acrylic, but since I’m gentle with my things, it should last quite some time.

Now, let’s talk about these earrings. They were a great find on Etsy. I’ve ordered three times from Karlyn B Designs. It was recommended that I buy titanium-backed earrings by my piercer because I was experiencing irritation. I searched on line and came across these; the colors match exactly as shown. They come with two different backs, stainless steel and clear silicone. I use the silicone ones. That’s why I bought an extra box of silicone backs-because I tend to lose them now and then.

HOC springs: feel free to reach out and ask about earring colors. I’m happy to help you pick some! i’ve tagged most of the colors that are in the jewelry cabinet.

Red, white, and blue workout days really create a joyful, lively atmosphere! I love matching my hair elastics with my workout outfits—it's such a fun and festive detail. My students often tell me I look vibrant and happy.

I’m so grateful for this gym bag I received as a Christmas gift. I might have hinted about it and even had it sent to the house, jokingly saying, 'This is what you’re giving me!' 😆 My husband appreciates when I drop hints like that because they help him pick just the right thing for me. Even after all these months, I still absolutely love it. It’s perfect for holding my yoga mat in place, my dance shoes in the side shoe compartment, all my necessities, and my large 35-ounce BurMate water bottle in the side mesh pocket.

This zip-up jacket from Lou & Gray is stylish in a shorter length and is super comfortable.

All in all, it’s truly a winning combination!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKActive

I’m excited to meet up with the girls for happy hour at a lovely outdoor restaurant by the water. Since our dress code was casual, I went with something comfortable and stylish. I'll definitely bring a jacket for the cooler evening air that's expected later. I’m so happy I brought this one—it's timelessly chic and really ties the whole look together!
