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!

Springs look for the color Muse or Dark Wash.

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.

One skirt. So many possibilities. 🍂

This is the kind of piece I love adding to a fall wardrobe—a beautiful hero piece that can create look after look.

Style it polished and classic with a crisp white shirt and blazer, pair it with rich red and tortoise for a warmer statement, or bring in burgundy, green and boots for a gorgeous fall color story.

The skirt stays the same, but the colors, accessories and layers give it an entirely different personality each time.

And if your wardrobe is missing a versatile hero piece this season, this might just be it. 🤎

I’ve linked the pieces that are still available, along with similar finds for anything that isn’t—so you can recreate your favorite look or make it completely your own. 🛍️

Which are you choosing—1, 2 or 3?

🍷 This Season’s Must-Have Color

Call it wine, cabernet, burgundy or merlot—this rich color family is everywhere for fall, and I’m loving it!

I styled these looks monochromatically to show just how gorgeous these tones can be from active ➡️ casual ➡️ dressy.

👟 Matching set + sneakers
🤎 Sweater + skirt + rich brown boots
✨ Fitted dress + heels

My skirt was a LOFT Outlet find and is available in store only, but I’ve tagged similar options.

And remember—you definitely don’t have to wear this color head-to-toe! Each of these pieces can mix beautifully with things you already have in your wardrobe to create so many different outfits. That’s the beauty of shopping intentionally—finding pieces that don’t just make one outfit.

I’ve linked these looks plus a few more finds in this gorgeous fall color, so you can choose the pieces that work with your wardrobe. 🛍️

Which look are you—active, casual or dressy?

This top was too pretty to pass up. 🤍

Another LOFT find that gives an everyday outfit just a little something extra. I love the feminine lace detail and slightly puffed sleeve—it feels polished without feeling dressy. I recommend grabbing a Cami to wear underneath it.

I paired it with my favorite brown LOFT shorts, a warm cognac bag and my Adidas Grand Court sneakers. 👟🤎 I’ve already told you how much I love these sneakers—this is pair #3 for me!

I especially love mixing a romantic top with casual pieces like shorts and sneakers. It keeps the whole look relaxed while still feeling pulled together.

Almost everything I’m wearing is from LOFT, and I’ve tagged the outfit along with my Adidas. 🤍

When you buy the same sneaker THREE times… you know it’s good. 👟🤎

These are hands down one of my favorite Adidas styles. They have that updated retro, ’90s-inspired look that’s everywhere right now, but with the comfort of a modern sneaker. They’re super cushy and seriously feel like you’re walking on a cloud.

And can we talk about this COLOR?! 🤎 It can be surprisingly hard to find sneakers in beautiful Autumn and Spring-friendly shades, and this warm cognac/rust is such a good crossover color for both palettes.

One thing I’m always careful about with sneakers is bulk. I have tiny ankles, and some chunkier styles can make my legs look like little toothpicks sticking out of my shoes. 😂 These have just enough substance without overwhelming my frame.

This is my THIRD pair in the Grand Court style, so that probably tells you everything you need to know. 🙌🏻 Comfortable, cute, on-trend and so easy to work into a warm-toned wardrobe.

The hottest fall colors… right down to your nails. 🍂💅

Olive greens and brick reds are making a big appearance this year, and these are two of my absolute favorite picks.

I’ve had the hardest time finding the right brick red—warm, rich and earthy without turning too burgundy or too bright. This one finally nailed it. 😍 And that olive green makes the perfect fall accent. 💚

Fun fact: I actually make my own press-on nails! I use blank press-ons and long-lasting polish to create my own sets, like the one I’m wearing here.

The olive green is a quick-dry formula, and that gorgeous brick red is a one-coat wonder 🙌🏻 — which makes doing my own press-ons even easier.

I’ve tagged several ways to get the look—traditional and gel polishes, ready-to-wear press-ons, plus the blank nails along with the tools I use if you want to create your own. 🍂#FallNails #FallColors #AutumnStyle

Autumn colors in the summer 🍂☀️

Who says rich Autumn colors have to wait until September?

I paired this linen wrap skirt from LOFT with a V-neck crochet-trim tank from Talbots for an easy summer look in some of my favorite warm, rich shades.

The lighter fabrics, bare arms and simple sandals keep these deeper colors from feeling heavy—even in the middle of summer.

And these Talbots sandals are from a previous season, but this is exactly why I hang onto pieces I love. Paired with the right colors, they work beautifully year after year. 🤎

Your season is your palette—not your calendar. 🍂

Another win for MAC! 💄✨

I loved Marrakesh so much that I decided to try another MAC shade—this one is Dare Me, and it’s a little brighter and livelier than Marrakesh.

I topped it with an e.l.f. gloss, which didn’t really change the lipstick color—it just added the prettiest hint of coppery sparkle. ✨ I LOVE the combination!

Color-wise, I could see Dare Me working beautifully for some Springs as well as Autumns, depending on your individual palette. It has that warmth I love, but with a little more brightness than Marrakesh.

Unfortunately, the e.l.f. lip-plumping gloss I’m actually wearing in the photo is an older favorite that’s no longer available, but I found and linked a comparable option. And of course, MAC Dare Me is linked too! 💄

Autumn colors aren’t just for fall. 🍂☀️

One of the biggest misconceptions about seasonal color is that your palette determines when you can wear a color. It doesn’t—it helps you choose the colors that flatter you year-round.

For warmer months, I simply change how I wear my Autumn palette.

Here I paired a warm burgundy top with chocolate brown shorts, then kept everything else light with bare legs, neutral sandals and simple gold accessories.

The colors are still warm and rich, but the outfit feels completely appropriate for summer.

Your season is your palette—not your calendar. 🤎

Talbots green…I’m obsessed! 💚

There are SO many beautiful greens right now, and this is where color can get a little tricky. Depending on the color system you use, some of these brighter greens can cross between Spring and Autumn.

As an Autumn, I’d happily wear every one of these. 😂💚 But that doesn’t necessarily mean every green will be your best green.

If you’re ever unsure about a color you’re considering, ask me! I love helping you figure out whether something will work with your palette.

I pulled together some of my favorite Talbots greens—from easy tops and layers to accessories and that gorgeous dress. 💚

💚 I loved the brown eyeliner so much…I went back for the green!

This is MAC’s smoky eyeliner in Swamped, and it is such a gorgeous green—especially if you love warm, earthy colors like I do. And after putting the brown through three fitness classes with ZERO budging, I had to try another shade. 😉

I’m also wearing a few of my favorite finds! My new green cardigan from Talbots is such a beautiful color for Autumn, layered over that iconic yellow dress I’ve been reaching for all summer.

And I’m not putting the dress away just because summer is ending! I’ll be taking it right into the cooler months with this cardigan…and I’m already picturing it with a pair of rich brown boots. 🍂🤎

Everything is linked for you 🤗

❤️ Meet my new favorite statement lipstick.

MAC Marrakesh is the perfect warm brick-red—rich, flattering, and surprisingly wearable. I’ve been reaching for it again and again.

If you have warm coloring (especially True, Warm, or Deep Autumn), I think you’ll love this shade too.

Linked here! 💄✨

I think I finally found my holy grail eyeliner! 👀

Today I put this MAC eyeliner to the ultimate test…

✔️ Applied before teaching
✔️ Three fitness classes later
✔️ Lots of sweat
✔️ Zero smudging, transferring, or fading

I honestly wasn’t sure if it would survive my classes—but it didn’t budge.

I’m wearing the color Costa Niche, and it’s officially earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. 🤎

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

🤎 This dress was an instant yes.

It’s soft, comfortable, has an easy feminine silhouette, and the color is one of those warm earthy shades I can’t resist.

I paired it with my favorite neutral handbag, gold jewelry, and the comfy eyelet shoes I’ve been wearing on repeat lately. It’s one of those outfits that feels polished without trying too hard.

I love finding pieces that can take you from brunch to work, church, or dinner just by changing a few accessories.

I can’t wait for this cardigan and lace skirt to arrive! 🍂

One of my favorite things to do is plan outfits before all the pieces even make it to my closet. It helps me see how everything will work together—and I already know this combination is going to be a favorite.

Rich greens, warm chocolate brown, and gold accessories create such a beautiful, harmonious color story. And those bow heels? They were impossible to resist! 🤎

I’ve linked everything below if you’d like to take a closer look. Which piece would you reach for first—the cardigan, lace skirt, or those gorgeous bow heels? ✨

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

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!

#LTKselfcare #LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

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.
