If your makeup isn’t lasting or looking right, this could be why. If your makeup looks patchy, fades fast, or feels like “too much” — it’s probably the wrong formula. P.S. dampen your brush before applying your makeup, either way! I love this hyaluronic spray from Iris & Romeo. Skin tint = lightweight, breathable, natural. Foundation = durable, smoothing, polished. Different goals. Different results. I’ve been a beauty junkie since I was a kid. Now, I’m a product tester. These are a few of the foundations and skin tints I know well, love and use regularly! Let me know if you need further advice! LTKBeauty LTKselfcare LTKOver40

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!

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.

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

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKActive #LTKOver40

SPANX wide-leg crop + patch pockets = instant outfit-maker denim. The dark wash looks polished, the wide leg feels modern and the cropped length keeps the silhouette clean so your shoes can do the finishing work. The front patch pockets add structure—almost trouser-like—more elevated than basic denim. These should be snug in the hips. Get your true size. Avail in 2 washes, petite, reg, tall.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKootd

Straight-leg is the denim silhouette that feels frStraight-leg is the denim silhouette that feels fresh for spring/summer—clean, polished. The SPANXshape™ Authentic 360 90s Straight Leg Jeans (available in several washes) a modern straight that skims (doesn’t cling), with built-in 360° shaping and 4-way stretch for all-day comfort (SPANX). They come in Regular/Petite/Tall so you can nail the hem.

New SPANX color-block set = instant polish with zero effort. The matching set reads elevated (not lounge), while the vertical side stripe adds length, structure, and a subtly slimming effect.

Avail in XS-3X petite, reg, tall

This boot from a past Nordstrom Drop sold out. I know there were quite a few of you that were disappointed, but I’ve got great news. It’s been fully restocked! Such a great boot, so grab it while you can!

Hair changes after 40. Texture shifts, density can drop, grays behave differently, scalp gets drier, and what used to “work” suddenly doesn’t. Here’s the straight, no-fluff playbook-what I’ve been using and the routine-recommended by my hairstylist!

Pilling isn’t a flaw—it’s a friction problem.
Soft fabrics + real life = a little fuzz along the way.

The fix is usually simpler than people think—and it starts in the laundry room.

Which piece do you keep—even though it pills every single time?

When I edit closets, this is where we decide: adjust the care, upgrade the fabric, or let it go—no guilt, just clarity.

#LTKstorytime #LTKHome #LTKOver40

You must know by now that funnel-neck or high-neck jackets are IN. This one is faux leather, so affordable…. and possibly sold out BUT I found a few similar that will get you the same look. I’m wearing a small in this jacket. The sleeves are long on me (can be altered) because I am petite and I probably could’ve bought the extra small and not gotten quite the same oversized fit.

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

Keeping it. The blue suede is seasonless. The size is perfect for your essentials and I love the fact, of course, that you can wear it 3 different ways. Coach is on fire and this bag is under $200.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm

If you see a snakeskin accessory you like, buy it! It’s so versatile and adds some “cool factor” to your look!

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKgrwm

In love with this “fancy” cardigan, available in multiple colors and such a great price!

I’m wearing a small true to size!

#LTKgrwm #LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40

This asymmetrical lace tank look is a hot trend that will continue through the summer and beyond. It’s a fun way to add interest to your outfit with an extra lacy layer. It comes in multiple colors and sizes.

So darn cute.

#LTKPetite #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

I’m hearing that straight legs (and cigarette jeans) are going to be the most popular denim style for spring. This is a fantastic vintage looking wash. You’re going to reach for again and again.

This is rigid denim-meaning it it has no stretch-so if between sizes, size up! I’m a size 6 currently in a 28 fits me nicely. This is a 32 inch inseam and a 5 foot four, I’m going to need them hemmed.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

This outfit never lets me down—travel, errands, meetings, all of it.

I call this my “leave in 5 minutes but still look chic” uniform. The knit blazer is shockingly good—like double-take good—and under $60. I’ll show you the designer one (over $300) it reminds me of, too. I’m wearing a small.

Not sure what to add to your closet next?
These 6 pieces were curated by stylists to mix, match, and elevate. This is the Nordstrom Drop!
Timeless staples — with a little WOW!

I’m 5’ 4”, 140lbs and wearing a small in the tops, a 28 in the jeans. The camisole, cardigan, and shoes are true to size. The jeans are rigid, no stretch so consider sizing up if between sizes.

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

Date night? Lunch with the girls? Work? These 6 pieces from the new February Nordstrom6 Drop will take you everywhere!

For work, pair the tank with the cardigan — classic. For dinner or lunch, wear the jacket and snake sandals.

Everything is true to size but you might want to size down in the jacket if you’re not into the oversized look or if you’re petite. The jeans are rigid so if between sizes, size up. The blue suede bag works for all seasons and can be used as a clutch, a shoulder bag or a crossbody.

What I wore to do a “closet edit” for a client today. It’s comfortable, yet polished.

Some things are sold out, but I’m sharing a similar look. Love these Mavi jeans, BTW! And that pendant necklace… I can’t stop wearing it!

Every time I walk into my home and one of Aromatech’s glorious scents hits me, I’m happy. One diffuser can scent your whole home, but the level of scent is also adjustable to your liking. This was also one of Oprah’s favorite things…so I bought it over a year ago and still in love.

#LTKHome

I love this pan! Nothing ever sticks and so clean up is SO easy. It’s how I reheat leftovers without drying them out/over-cooking in the microwave too.

#LTKHome #LTKfoodie

I just love this thing. I have a sewing table (I store I was going learn to sew) that I ended up turning into a make up vanity. This sits on top. I have so many of my favorites right there at my fingertips when I need them. Amazon $15 and I’ve used it for years :)

#LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKHome

You’ll be hooked. I know it.

If you want the best-smelling hand soaps, lotions, cleaners and room fragrances in elegant packaging, this is it. Luxury, but not outrageously priced. Win.

Best small investment right here. We did our research and these heaters are SAFE and efficient. We’re empty nesters and we keep one of these in our bedroom at night too, allowing us to turn the heat down in the rest of the house while we sleep. This has saved us THOUSANDS 💲already.

#LTKHome

My mother-in-law introduced me to storage with locking lids and I threw out all my old plastic ware. I bought a few more sets from Amazon that got great reviews and so far so good :), a great purchase.
