This tailored vest and wide leg pant set is such a chic take on the matched set trend for Spring & Summer 2026. The fabric drapes beautifully with comfortable stretch, and both pieces can be worn together or styled separately for endless outfit options. Polished, versatile, and machine-washable for real life.

The daily habit that quietly changed my energy (and stopped my migraines). ☕💗
I drink Guayusa tea twice a day. Every single day.
Morning… and again in the afternoon.

Regular tea can trigger migraines for me because of the tannins. But loose-leaf Guayusa green tea? Total game changer.

Translation?
Alert. Focused. Clear-headed.
Without the jitters or crash of coffee.

It’s rich in antioxidants and even contains compounds that may support metabolism and heart health. I genuinely feel better when I drink it.

Also… can we talk about this mug? 💗
Hands-down my favorite. Perfect for Valentine’s week. I hope you all had the sweetest day filled with love and gratitude.

And yes… outfit details because you know I love a cozy-but-pulled-together moment. This ruffle mock neck sweater is from Amazon (so soft and flattering), and my leopard Mary Janes are timeless classics that instantly make denim feel polished.

Luxury without the luxury markup? Yes please.
😁
This is one of those outfits that feels quietly expensive… but isn’t. And I don’t know about you, but in this season of life I want beautiful quality without feeling like I have to stalk a sale to justify it.

This cashmere short sleeve dress is unbelievably soft and so flattering. It’s that timeless neutral piece you’ll reach for again and again. I layered it with this wool jacket with the prettiest gold buttons, and it instantly feels polished, classic, and pulled together. Effortless… but make it intentional.

Both pieces are from @onequince , and I L❤️VE how they do business. They don’t rely on constant sales or discount codes. Instead, they keep prices refreshingly fair year-round by cutting out middlemen and working directly with top factories. On each product page, they even show price comparisons to higher-priced retailers so you can see exactly how much you’re saving. I love that kind of transparency.

High-quality essentials. Fair prices. No games. 💗

Such a pretty spring crochet cardigan with delicate pointelle stitching and scalloped trim for a soft, feminine feel. It’s lightweight enough to wear as a top and layers beautifully, too. Styled with my pull-on flare jeans that smooth everything out and ivory booties I reach for all season long.

Morning… and again in the afternoon.

Regular tea can trigger migraines for me because of the tannins. But loose-leaf Guayusa green tea? Total game changer. It’s naturally low in tannins, so no headaches… and it gives that clean, calm energy boost thanks to caffeine + L-theanine working together.

This @amazon universally flattering neckline makes this Amazon sweater a standout. It’s super soft, feels high quality, and comes in so many beautiful colors. I styled it with dark wash denim, taupe suede booties, and a little fun jewelry to finish the look.

It may be 30 degrees outside, but my heart is already planning for sunshine. ☀️
When I was in Florida recently, I fell in love with this leopard shirt dress all over again, and since it’s from last fall, it’s now 60% off and going fast. 💨 The crisp cotton, flattering shape, and hidden pockets make it easy and polished, and the print works just as well for everyday life as it does for vacation nights.

I styled it with my classic Tory Burch sandals and tote (forever favorites), my go-with-everything Tory Burch huggie earrings, and the most affordable polarized sunglasses from Amazon. (Do you know how hard it is to find well-priced polarized sunglasses?)
😎
My confetti necklace is from @starfish_project , an organization introduced to me by precious @lonestarsouthern that helps exploited girls and women find hope, freedom, and meaningful careers. Wearing something beautiful that also does good? Yes, please. 💗

“Be Happy.”
Not in a fake-it, ignore-your-feelings way… but in a choose-joy-on-purpose kind of way.

There’s actually science behind this. When you smile or act cheerful, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. It’s called the facial feedback loop, and it reminds us that sometimes our actions can gently lead our feelings.

That’s one reason this sweatshirt makes me smile every time I put it on. It’s cozy, soft on the inside, has pockets (always a yes), and carries a message we all need on hard days and good ones alike.

I paired it with my favorite pull-on traveler jeans (trouser-inspired wide leg, mid-rise, comfy stretch, and back patch pockets) and they’re 25% off this weekend, which makes them even better. And these darling pink sneakers? Tie once, then slip on hands-free for all-day comfort and support.

Because joy doesn’t always start as a feeling.
Sometimes, it starts as a choice..

This terry sweatshirt (read that: lightweight) is just $23.80 on sale at Talbots! I paired it with these fun jeans from Lands' End, featuring a darling braid up the side. I love the high waist, and they're 40% off this weekend! Finished off with brown sneakers from Target that are 15% off this weekend. Headed out to a VERY casual dinner with long-time friends!

I’m loving these monogrammed canvas pouches for staying organized in the prettiest way. So good for tossing in your tote or packing for a trip!

This is the kind of dress that makes you want to book a sunshine getaway.
☀️

The palm print with soft pink and green accents feels tropical but grounded, and the silhouette is easy, flowy, and flattering without trying too hard. I love the ruffle collar, v-neckline, bracelet-length sleeves, and the fact that it’s made with UPF 50+ fabric for built-in sun protection. And yes, it has pockets, which always feels like a small gift.

This is one of those dresses that works for vacation days and real life alike. Comfortable, pretty, and full of sunshine energy.

This might be my new favorite “just in case something fabulous happens” outfit ❤️

It started as a Valentine’s look… but the more I wore it, the more I realized how insanely versatile it is. Date night? Yes. Wedding guest? Absolutely. Dinner with friends or any special occasion where you want to feel a little extra? This one’s it.

The leopard slip skirt is such a fun statement piece, but it also dresses way down. Throw on a denim button down and sneakers and it’s perfect for travel days or running errands. And this red cashmere sweater? So cozy, so flattering, and on repeat all winter with jeans or chic slacks.

Basically… one outfit, about ten different lives! ❤️
