AllSaints Carol Lace Shirt in White at Nordstrom, Size 10 Us | Nordstrom

The Top 10 of 2025

What sold. What stayed. What women actually kept wearing.

These weren’t one-and-done trends. They’re the pieces that earned repeat wear - handbags that quietly elevated outfits, jeans that fit real bodies, the lounge set everyone asked about, and a few standouts that surprised me.

If you missed them the first time, here they are.

Hi! Just wanted to give you a little introduction to who I am and what I do! I’ve been a professional personal stylist for the last 13 years, 10 of which I worked for Nordstrom. I’ve dressed hundreds or maybe even thousands of women over the years! I edit closets and I help people pack! I also love sharing the fantastic things I find in fashion beauty, and a little bit of home! Thank you so much for being here and let me know how I can help!

#LTKWatchNow #LTKOver40

SPANX is doing a 20% off sitewide sale in the LTK app, so I’m sharing a few pieces I wear all the time.

One thing I love about the SPANX jeans is the built-in tummy and waist control panels — they’re incredibly flattering but still really comfortable.

I also linked my favorite ponte wide leg pants and some AirEssentials pieces because they are unbelievably soft.

At 5’4”-right there at the top of the petite option- I find that Spanx work better for me in the regular length. I can always shorten pants a little, but I can’t make them longer! If I were any shorter, the petite would be just fine. I sized up (to a medium) in the straight leg jeans for a more relaxed fit.The ponte pants are a small (true to size). The cropped patch pocket jeans are a small (true to size). I typically take a small in the Air Essentials, I ordered a medium petite in the barrel leg pants, but probably could have done the small-depend depends on how relaxed you want them to be.

If you’ve ever tried a bold lipstick (or just wanted to) and thought “that’s too much on me”… this is for you.

Everyone is obsessed with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s style right now… and I get it.

But what I’ve always loved most?
Her lipstick.

A bold lip can be so chic — but only if it doesn’t bleed into lip lines or look harsh.

In this Reel I’m sharing:
• the trick that softens bold lipstick
• how to keep it from bleeding
• three of my favorite bold shades (luxury + affordable)

Because a bold lip should feel polished… not intimidating. I’m wearing Merit in Power, ELF Fiery Red, Iris & Romeo Iconic

Inexpensive and cheap aren’t the same thing—a good stylist knows the difference.

These sandals are under $50 yet still stylish and well-made. These are the neutrals you’ll wear with everything! I tried these 3 and brought them home. I found a few more I’d recommend to clients as well and I’ve linked them below!

Part 2 of Beth’s closet edit: the jeans.

She told me she had a denim addiction… and after trying them on, I think we can confirm that. 😉

During a closet edit we go through everything — and denim is always one of the biggest categories.

We’re looking for:
• the right rise
• the right fit for your shape
• washes that feel modern
• pieces that actually work with the rest of your closet

By the end, Beth had a streamlined denim lineup she knows looks great on her.

No more guessing.
No more jeans that almost work.

Just the ones she’ll actually wear.

And yes — more from this closet edit coming soon.

Are you a denim minimalist or a denim collector?

I’ve included Links to some of my favorite must-own denim styles!

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40 #LTKstorytime

Oh girlfriend… this is exactly how it started. 💛

I spent over 10 years styling women in-store at Nordstrom, sending them home with beautiful pieces that fit like a dream. But do you know what I kept hearing?

“I just need you in my closet every morning.”

And honestly? They weren’t wrong.

It’s one thing to buy something fabulous.
It’s another thing entirely to know how to wear it with what you already own.

So I started going into my clients’ homes — evenings, weekends, whenever I could — and we got to work. We figured out what was missing. We built outfits. We took photos they could reference later. We edited, organized, and yes… sometimes made a little mess before it got better. 😉

Those sessions turned into some of the most meaningful relationships of my life. 🫶🏻

What began as “just helping a little extra” is now what I do full-time — teaching women in their own closets and side-by-side while we shop. I want you to understand your body shape, the fabrics that flatter, the silhouettes that polish you instantly… and how to pull it all together with confidence.

I don’t always film these sessions (because privacy matters and we are WORKING when we’re in there 😂). But this time, my sweet friend Beth let me bring you along.

I broke our closet edit into bite-size clips packed with practical tips you can actually use.

This is Part 1… and there’s so much more coming.

If you’re local and have ever thought, “I just wish someone would help me in my own closet…” — consider this your sign. 💫

I’ve also linked some practical affordable closet organization helpers!

Message me “CLOSET” and let’s talk.

#LTKOver40 #LTKHome #LTKstorytime

This is going to make a fantastic transitional weather piece. The fabric is heavy enough to be a little bit substantial and the dress itself so easy to layer. I in between a size 4 and six, and I purchased the six because I’m a little bit busty and it’s perfect. If you’re not busty, go with your true size.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

Can’t stop buying funnel neck jackets! I love a sporty vibe so this is right up my alley! This one is like a windbreaker material and you’re getting three trendy styles-the high collar and bomber and tech jacket all in one. It is meant to be oversized if you buy it true to size. If you want it smaller, you could size down.

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

I’ve been a fan of Naghedi bags for a long time! This season, I wanted a little something in ballet pink, and this tote nailed it. Not too pink not too beige. It’s just right to be a part of my neutral lineup-the bag that goes with everything.

#LTKTravel #LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40

Saving you a grand. You’re welcome!
Actually, the designer sandal is absolutely gorgeous but if $1100 is not in your budget there’s a cute look-alike. I think you’re going to love and it comes in a few different styles.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKPetite

I just fell in love with this sweater. It’s a perfect transitional weight. It’s the perfect length. It’s the perfect length sleeve. It comes in a bunch of colors and two different styles. Did I mention it’s perfect?

True to size will be perfect.

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40

Crazy soft, cozy and cool-you will love these jeans from AG-not sweatpants-they are actual denim jeans in the lightest weight! Get your true size. They might feel a little snug at first, but they will stretch and soften pretty much right away.

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40

Gosh, this is pretty! The leopard and rose design is elegant and bad*^+ too. You’ll be complimented everywhere you go.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

OMG! Over dresses, with jeans…oh the possibilities. This faux leather moto-style jacket from Cinq a Sept is so CHIC, so cool.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKPetite #LTKOver40

Obsessed with this little denim jacket! The peplum, the dressy dark wash…she’s perfect and fun!

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKWorkwear

I recommended this soft, pretty sandal last year too. It’s a classic. A closed heel means you can wear them with browsers and longer jeans and not get the hem, stuck under foot. The heel isn’t too high. It comes in several neutrals/metallics.

#LTKWedding #LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40

A heavier heel balances wide leg pants, looks great with skirts and dresses and offers stability. This shoe is timeless.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

I’ve been told these are comfy by clients. Here’s the designer Vince version and a dupe for $35. Take your pick!

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKSeasonal

The wear-with-everything sandal that’s just-dressy-enough and still comfortable. Available in a bunch of great colors.

#LTKPetite #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

I’m petite with short legs. I’d wear these with dresses above the knee and pants above the ankle. Shorts too! They’re comfortable. I tried them on.

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKPetite

Block heel woven slingbacks, spring-ready! Wear to work or with cuffed jeans, trousers, straight-legs and skirts/dresses.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

The blurred lip trend — but elevated.

Framboise in MERIT’s Signature Lip Blush gives that soft-focus, just-kissed effect without sacrificing comfort. The formula is lightweight and buildable, with gel-wrapped pigments for even color and a sheer matte finish. And the hydration? Noticeable.

It’s what I’d call a modern matte — refined, wearable, and incredibly easy. The rest of the look is pretty fab too, but I can’t get over that lip!

#LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Simply gorgeous. Clean. Hydrating. This soft hydrating matte balm-like formula works perfectly for the 2026 “Blurred Lips” beauty trend. I’m wearing Framboise a cool bold berry.

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Stop blaming your body. Blame the fabric.

Rigid denim is the secret to a smoother silhouette because it holds the line, skims your curves, doesn’t cling.
Stretch jeans can feel amazing in the fitting room… and then you realize they’re clinging to your thighs, sagging at the knee, and sliding down by noon.

What to look for if you want polished + comfortable:
✔️ mid/high rise that doesn’t fold into the belly
✔️ roomier thigh (so you’re not “vacuum-sealed”)
✔️ straight or wide leg for a clean drape
✔️ rigid or “comfort rigid”, “low stretch” or 1-2% Elastane

Here are my best-selling low-stretch denim picks.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

#LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

OOTD-polished casual for shopping with a client. This looks and feels so close to a high-end version from another designer that’s $348, but this one is just over $50...

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife

I found the hottest sneaker trend of this season (and next) for a STEAL! And they’re comfy too. TTS
