I used to struggle refreshing my curls.
Now I keep the routine simple: leave-in, then mousse.
The result is consistent curls, even days after wash day.

Recent pickups for spring. Which one is your favorite?

Nothing says date night quite like a sharp blazer.

Valentine’s Day weekend has officially arrived, consider this your cue to rethink evening dressing. Clean lines instantly make you look sharp, structured shoulders, a defined waist, and tailoring that frames the body with intention.

Make it your own with styling. For this look, I went with flared trousers, a crisp shirt left slightly undone, and cowboy boots for a little edge. When it comes to date night, keep the palette simple. Let the silhouette do the talking.

If you’re looking for date night inspiration, start with the blazer and build the story from there.

Self-care this year has looked like continuous improvement. Every time I improve my wash day, I fall back in love with my texture.

Lately I’ve been using @Pattern Beauty — double cleansing to remove buildup, Heavy Conditioner for instant definition, the Repair 360 Leave-In Foam to repair damage, and the Blow Dryer to reduce frizz and dry time.

It’s Buy 2 Get 1 Free sitewide (add 3 qualifying items, the lowest-priced is free). The perfect time to revamp your hair routine.

Polo Red Extreme is warm, spicy, and intense. It makes me feel confident and put-together, especially for nights out, events, or moments where I want to leave an impression. A bold fragrance that works best when worn with intention.

Quiet confidence is always the goal.
Everything else is just styling.

Style doesn’t have to be loud.
It’s about fit, texture, and intention.
When everything works together, the outfit speaks for itself.

Designer sunglasses don’t have to be expensive.
This pair was under $200, and they’ll be on rotation all year.
Style is about knowing when to invest — not how much you spend.

@ltk.creators Unwrapped 🖤 Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Thank you to everyone who tapped, saved, shopped, and trusted my recommendations this year. Being in the top 10% of creators after 9.5 years on LTK is something I’m kinda gagged by, and it’s all because of this community.

I’m rounding up my most-loved pieces of the year — the items you engaged with most, asked about repeatedly, and brought into your own closets and homes. From modern menswear staples to home finds you couldn’t get enough of, these are the true standouts of 2025.

As always, thank you for being here, supporting my work, and letting me be a part of your everyday style decisions. More to come. #LTKUnwrapped

A Ralph Lauren-themed Christmas party called for timeless tailoring. I went classic in black loafers, straight-leg jeans, a crisp white button-down, a bow tie, and a velvet tuxedo jacket for that elevated holiday polish. All pieces linked on my LTK for easy shopping

Leaning on @goldbelly this season because with long retail hours and content deadlines, I needed a holiday dessert that feels impressive without taking hours to make. They deliver iconic food nationwide, which makes hosting truly effortless and memorable.

I chose the 10th Anniversary DecaCaken, shipped from the PieCaken Bakeshop in New York. It's twice the size of their original cakes, with ten decadent layers from blondie and chocolate cream pie to coffee cake and New York cheesecake, wrapped in pretzel buttercream and topped with fudge frosting, dulce de leche, cookie dough, brownie bites, and gold sprinkles.

You can shop the DecaCaken and my other
Goldbelly picks directly in my LTK shop.

You need to see this before trying another natural deodorant. I tested the Paper Cosmetics vegan deodorant and it surprisingly delivers. The formula is smooth, gentle, and keeps me fresh all day. The scent is light because the ingredients are completely natural, but there’s still no body odor at the end of the day. Plus, the recyclable-style paper packaging makes it an easy switch for anyone trying to shop cleaner. Linked directly to Amazon and the full Paper Cosmetics lineup at papercosmetics.com.
