I’m back with another shoe spotlight. This week is all about the loafer.

I’ve been wearing these for over 2 months. Beyond comfy. I had zero break in period- which is such a win in my book 🤗

I’ve worn with trouser socks and without and either way, still just as comfy.

Comes in several colors.

Fits true to size.

My blouse is sold out but found 3 others very similar to it.

Welcome back to another another First Class Fridays ✈️

This week is all about packing with intention.

Choose a color palette and build layers and pieces around those colors so everything works together. I never pack outfits. Just pieces that can coordinate with one another.

👚striped tee in navy and cream

👚cashmere sweater

🧥 short trench coat

👖pull on ponte pant

👟 walking sneaker

🧳 luggage that can hold a ton and still not leave you having to check your bag.

These sneakers are so comfy, but I’d suggest a half size up for the perfect fit!

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

This small portable tote bag has been such a great find.

It’s in your luggage, carryon bag or personal item and you’ll always have a great shopping tote.

I even keep one in my car for unexpected stops at the farmer’s market, store returns and last minute errands.

Available in 4 colors. Under $20.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

Welcome to my Saturday Shoe Snapshop.

This week I’m focusing on a great travel sandal.

I’ve walked all over Europe, NYC and Vegas wearing this slide sandal.

It’s also a great pool sandal. It can get wet and there’s no issue.

Dressed up or down, this versatile, lightweight sandal is a go-to. Slim when stacked for packing and takes up very little room in your luggage.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKSaleAlert

Five things I pack for Europe.

👗A lightweight black dress that can go from day to night. This one is under $50.

🩴Sandals that can handle 15k+ steps without making my feet feel tired, achy, or hot. These feel like you are walking on air. Super lightweight.

👜A hands-free, crossbody bag in all leather. This one has 3 compartments: 2 are zippered, and one is buttoned. And because it is all leather, it gets softer with every use.

⚡️A portable charger that is always with me. I love this one because I can see how much battery life the charger has, so I never run out of power on the go.

👓My hard-sided, dual sunglass case keeps my glasses protected when I toss them in my bag, plus keeps me organized.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

You don’t need to pack more when you can make something work in multiple ways.

Grab a clear elastic band and change up the length of any necklace with this easy travel hack.

Pack less. Wear more.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

For every trip I take, at least one of these sweaters gets packed.

Lightweight. Takes up very little luggage space. Layer over a tee or tank, wear alone, or drape over your shoulders.

Crew and V-neck options. Tons of colors available. I’ve tagged several.

Fit true to size.

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKWorkwear

Welcome to another edition of First Class Fridays, where I share 5 of my favorite travel items.

This week’s picks:

👜 My all-leather catch-all pouch.  This holds all of my in-flight essentials and doubles as an evening clutch for nights out.

👖 My favorite travel pants are wrinkle-resistant, look polished and chic, and can rival any pair of pajamas in feel and comfort.

👙 Bras that feel like a second skin, are lightweight, breathable, and don’t leave any visible seams.  Plus, they provide great coverage.

🧥 A lightweight, packable rain jacket for those just-in-case moments when the weather turns.  The longer back covers your booty, and the sleeves can be tightened so rain can’t get in.  Also has a hood, which I love.

🪭And last, but not least, is my portable, rechargeable fan.  This gets packed for every trip I take during warm months or when I am traveling to warm destinations.  It’s under $10.  Holds a charge for a long time.  I’ve charged mine twice in a year, and I do a ton of traveling.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

Packing for a week in a carry does not require special skills.

I stick with a color palette that allows all the pieces to work with others, so I can pack less while still not wearing the same outfit more than once.

A 2-piece set is always getting packed. I can wear it as a set and then each piece separately.

These are all the pieces I packed for a week in Charleston.

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

Welcome to my First Class Fridays ✈️ series where I’m sharing different things each week to help make your travels easier and more comfortable.

This week is all about the 5 key items I always pack for my travels.

1. A comfortable but equally chic 2-piece set that can go from the plane to dinner. And each piece can be worn alone to create multiple outfits from just 2 pieces.

2. My personal carry-on bag I’ve been using for several years. The expandable feature is one I’ve come to rely on many times after I’ve shopped a bit too much on vacay 🛍️😜

3. The compression socks I swear by. The bamboo allows for your feet and legs to still breathe, while helping my circulation during travel days or heavy walking days.

4. The 100% organic cotton wrap that can be styled 20+ ways and looks good with everything.

5. The lightest weight sneaker I’ve ever owned. Breathable mesh design with a collapsible heel for multiple styling options. I’ve walked 10+ miles a day in these. Absolutely obsessed.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Road trips require something a bit more comfort forward.

The top and bottom are a lightweight French terry, perfect for this time of year. And the wide-neck top gives this versatile styling options.

☕️ This is also great for morning coffee runs when you need to throw something on quickly.

Currently on sale, making this an affordable set you can rotate into your closet.

Wearing size smalls in both.

The best walking shoes for NYC from a native NYC girl.

In NYC, I walk miles a day, and these are the shoes I rely on consistently to make sure my feet are comfortable, my back and hips aren't achy, and can handle 15k+ steps per day.

#LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

I’ve been traveling a long time and have definitely lost things along the way, which is a terrible feeling.

And that is why I leave my valuable pieces at home when I travel to Europe, the beach, spas or unfamiliar places.

These are favorites that I have been traveling with all summer.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

These are my non-negotiables for any beach vacation. Some may seem obvious, but many of these are simple, small things that don’t take up much room.

1. Collapsible water bottle to stay hydrated at all times, more so when I’m in the sun

2. Hardsided, double-compartment sunglass holder. I use this for my prescription glasses and my sunglasses. The hard shell keeps your glasses protected in your bag.

3. Portable, rechargeable fan. This gets packed for every warm weather trip. I use this at the pool and while sightseeing.

4. Hydrating lip balm to protect my lips from drying out

5. Hand sanitizer. I spray this on my hands and on anything around me. Plus it smells so good!

6. Oil free sunscreen that absorbs quickly

7. Lightweight travel umbrella that can be used to provide shade at the beach, pool or when standing on long lines in the sun. This has made such a difference in keeping me cool. Plus I always have it in case it rains.

8. A one-piece bathing suit that gives support and sculpts and doesn’t break the bank.

9. A tote bag that I can use for beach trips but can easily be used for market runs and errands in the summer.

Traveling can be challenging - deciding what to pack and what to leave home.

I’ve been traveling with one of these for over a decade. This way I always have my signature scent with me. And that just makes traveling a little bit more familiar.

Available as a single or double.

And my signature scent is light and not overpowering.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKBeauty

10 days in Europe. One carry-on.

My secret was simple: I packed a color palette, not random outfits.

Everything stayed in black, white, and cream, so every piece could mix, match, layer, and repeat.

The shoes worked with everything.

The tote worked with everything.

The clutch doubled as my tech pouch and evening bag.

That’s the carry-on formula: fewer pieces, better outfits.

#LTKgrwm #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

I don’t do fast fashion. But I have been known, from time to time, to share pieces that are classic and timeless that are super affordable.

All of these are under $26. And each looks and feels more expensive than it is.

Building a wardrobe of versatile pieces is an easy way to ensure that you wear what you buy. And it makes traveling much easier, too

Wearing size medium in sweater, but could have gotten away with a small for a more fitted look. Wearing a small in dress. Shoes run true to size.

#LTKootd #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

We have a few trips coming up and I wanted to find a sneaker that would be comfortable, stylish and equally practical.

For our Europe trip, I wanted something waterproof because summer rain is fairly unpredictable and the last thing I want is wet feet.

The Vessy is cushioned, waterproof and can easily be wiped down. That’s a win!

The Reefs are the lightest weight sneaker I have ever tried. And I love the collapsible heel option. Plus the breathable mesh makes it perfect for hot weather.

Both run true to size.

#LTKTravel #LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40

There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable when you travel.

And this is why these are the only bras I wear - for everyday, work and especially when traveling.

They are lightweight, buttery soft and feel like you have nothing on.

Adjustable straps, removable soft cups, no annoying wires and super supportive.

Also available in a strapless design and I swear it stays put.

I’m wearing a size large: my bra size is 36C for reference.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

I love a good, breathable organic cotton dress this time of year. And it travels well.

Available in black, white and navy. Plus the pockets make it a total win for me. Wearing a size small. Runs true to size.

Also tagged my cream jacket.

#LTKootd #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

There’s nothing worse than aching feet when you’re on vacation.

I’ve been testing shoes for an upcoming trip to Europe and these both get my stamp of approval.

A lightweight, flat sandal that can go from day to night and has great flexibility. Plus it can get wet without a problem.

Or if you want more cushioning for extra long days of walking and sightseeing, this lightweight slingback feels like you’re walking on a cloud.

Packing the right shoes makes a wold of difference!

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

One black travel dress, styled multiple ways.

This is exactly the kind of piece I look for when I’m packing: stretchy, easy, packable, built-in bra, and versatile enough to go from sightseeing to dinner with just a few accessory swaps or added layers.

-Sneakers and a tote for day.
-A tee layered over it for a casual look.
-Kitten heels, a belt, and a denim blazer for night.

Same dress. More outfits. Less packing.

Plus this one is affordable, is super lightweight and packs extremely well.

Wearing a size small for a more tailored look. Size up one for a more relaxed fit. I’m 5’11” for reference and 155 pounds.

The cream dress (also available in black) is similar except it has spaghetti straps but same built-in bra.

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKTall

I love Paris and this sweater just made me swoon!

My love of stripes is trés Parisian and this weather is the perfect weight for late Spring and Summer.

Fit is relaxed. Wearing a size small.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKWorkwear

I always pack at least one set when I travel. I love that I can create multiple looks from the top and bottom or wear it as a set.

You don’t need to pack more outfits, just the right pieces.

Wearing a size small in both sets. I’m 5’11” and weigh 155 pounds. My inseam is 30.5” which is not very long for my height. My length is in my torso.

Available in multiple colors.

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

This strap add/on is brilliant. No more falling straps and it prevents the straps from digging into your shoulder.

And adding this pouch makes accessing which items easy without having to open your bag.

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

This necklace has great weight and the gold looks like 14k. The adjustable chain makes it perfect for layering or wearing alone.

Under $30.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKSaleAlert

I’m always packing a sweater. Even if I’m going somewhere warm.

It’s a great layering piece, and it’s equally great for cold planes, trains, hotels, theaters, restaurants and event spaces.

This 100% organic cotton fisherman sweater looks and feels like more expensive ones.

I’m wearing a size small, my normal size. Size up for a more relaxed, oversized fit.

Available in 10 colors. I’m in the color speckled beige.

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

The one thing you should definitely pack for any Spring or Summer travel is this…a lightweight, packable rain coat.

It’s the perfect weight. Packs well. Keeps you dry and protected and takes up very little space in your luggage, carry-on or personal item if you use a tote bag.

I’m wearing my usual size in a small in black for regency. I am 5’11” tall and weigh 155 pounds. The fit is roomy and relaxed.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Having versatile staples in your closet is the easiest way to build a functional wardrobe that works for you.

Adding pieces that can be worn multiple ways, with good quality and fit, should be a priority when building a timeless wardrobe.

My sweater is on sale. Wearing a size small.

Denim runs true to size. Great stretch and a relaxed fit.

Wearing the Birdies ballet flat but tagged another option.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

One of the easiest spring outfit formulas: a striped tank, light denim, white sneakers, and a great jacket.

Comfortable enough for travel days and city walking, but still polished and put together.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

A gingham shirt, trench jacket, and dark denim is one of those combinations that never really goes out of style.

I wear this on repeat - for travel days, sightseeing, work, lunches, and casual dinners.

Classic, polished, and easy for everyday spring wear.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

Light layers are what make a wardrobe work.

Sets are so versatile because you can wear them together or separately. Making them a favorite of mine to pack.

A soft knit set, navy trousers, and a lightweight jacket give you plenty of options for changing temperatures without sacrificing style.

#LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear #LTKTravel

A simple way to elevate denim in spring: add texture, structured layers, and classic accessories.

This is the kind of outfit that works almost anywhere — lunch, casual dinners, city walks, or travel days.

For extra comfort, swap out these cute Mary Janes for a more comfortable sneaker.
