the best Khaite Scarlet Cardigan Dupe!

there are so many dupes to that cardigan but this is the best because they're 100% thick merino wool unlike most which are synthetic blends. the thickness gives it a more structured look + feel.

so soft + comfy that i bought three: the black, grey and dark brown. i'm wearing the small. for reference im 5'1" size 0.

one note, since this video was made the price has gone up but they're still worth every penny!

ugh - this apps crops the videos and took my head out 😬

(these videos are from a longer try on video i did on IG awhile back)

while i love designer clothing, it's not always necessary. if you know your lifestyle + desired look you can easily do a mix of high + low pieces.

the top is gap kids linen relaxed shirt in a size 14. the jeans are classic levi's wedgie straight leg size 24 x 26 for a slight cropped look.

for reference i am 5' 1" size 0 / xs.

for button ups, i prefer either opening most or closing all buttons - it gives a more elevated, intentional chic look.

styling note: my steamer just broke so i couldn't steam this before showing you, know that it would be perfectly steamed before wearing 🫣

a simple white shirt doesn't have to look simple. use my tucking method to update what you already have in your closet.

i recently got this cotton oxford shirt from gap kids (on sale for $31). i'm wearing a 14, the 12 fit but i like how this has a roomier fit. for reference i'm 5'1" size 0 / xs.

and please forgive me for not changing my bra for this video! i only ever wear white bras under a white shirt.

one thing i teach my clients is not to let the name of something dictate how you use it. these drop-front 'sweater' boxes are perfect for small bags + other treasures.

AND not everything needs to be in a proper bin or organizer ($). smaller belts that don't stand on their own are in a box that something else came in. i love reusing nice boxes like this. i keep a small collection when i buy something to use in drawers + cabinets to fit things like this. stationary boxes and the box the iphone comes in a great examples of ones to keep. . .

when buying things how it will be stored and fit in my space is top of mind to ensure i'm not creating unnecessary storage issues.

while yes, i have a small amount of things to suit my needs (why store things i'll never use?) things still take up the space they take which is why i love nesting sets like my set of 3 pyrex, set of 5 different size bowls (one is in the fridge) as well as stackable glass containers and drinking glasses.

it's why i have travel size clothes steamer + iron. they're easier to use, and easy to store.

after 20 years helping countless people in all different size spaces, from tiny studios smaller than mine to 10,000 sqft homes, storage space is always an issue. the bigger the space, the quicker it gets filled. so i would suggest thinking like this no matter the size of your home.

after years of stressed out, dried and frizzy hair, i finally found the right products!

the wow dream coat (first product) is so good i only use it a couple times a month, not after each shampoo. when i feel my hair is getting a bit sad looking, i use it after washing + before blow drying.

i've had so much hair shedding the past couple of years (covid? stress? menopause?) and the nutroful serum has been a miracle with stopping it. i use it once a day at night (so i don't forget). i don't feel it's greasey or heavy. i only use 1 dropper full on my whole head.

make the most out of your medicine cabinet with simple acrylic accessories. basically invisible, they add storage without the visual clutter.

3" x 6" risers give you double height for smaller products. 3" x 3" and 3" x 6" drawer divider bins help contain small items making them accessible without spilling out everytime you grab something.

my favorite beauty products beyond just cleansing + moisturizing.

i use the clay bar after every shower. it gives a deeper clean to reduce blackheads.

i use the microdermabrasion twice a month. i use it in my face, neck, chest, and hands for the smoothest skin.

apa lip scrub is so delicious - the only scrub i've ever used and probably ever will.

love these drop front boxes. they're sold as sweater boxes but they're perfect for keeping small bags in sight but free from dust, roomy enough to have extra storage in the back and giving my an additional shelf to put sweaters on top.

every organizer says you should have matching hangers. i agree in theory but not in execution. i have 4 different types in my dressing area and they're not the dreaded slim felt hangers.

i know many of you love felt hangers and that's fine, don't come for me, and while i have many clients who use them, they're not for me. i've also noticed people with mostly cotton tops generally don't like them either because with the felt causes friction and it can be hard to get your shirt on the hanger nicely.

and yes, the padded canvas take up more room but my clothes love them. and they're way prettier than the felt 🤍

a detail you might not notice, the reason all these hangers look nice together is the neck of the hangers are all the same which gives the illusion they're all the same hanger as not to add any visual clutter.
