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

I complimented a woman at the mall on her comfy-chic outfit that was ivory from head to toe. She told me it was Lululemon and so I set out to find it. Her outfit was $574 and a little more than I wanted to spend 😳. I found a similar vest on Amazon that happens to be on sale for a few more days and took it out shopping with me. I discovered a pair of loose sweatpants and zip up hoodie at Target that were a perfect match! My outfit is under $100! SCORE!

#LTKootd #LTKActive #LTKOver40

Saw a woman wearing this outfit and asked her where she got it. I LOVE the Lululemon pieces she was wearing but $574 felt a bit high. I went hunting to get as close as I could and my similar outfit comes in under $100. The vest is on sale! I’m going to wear these pieces so much!

I’m wearing a small in the zip up hoodie and I returned the size large pants I’m wearing an exchange for a medium. I could have done a small, I think, but I like the loose fit-the way it was intended to be worn. My vest is from Amazon and oversized. I like it TTS in the small. It comes in a ton of colors.

I said what I said: women shave their faces too. And once you try the SonicSmooth, you’ll wonder why you waited.

It exfoliates, smooths, and helps skincare actually sink in. I pair mine with a facial oil from Michael Todd Beauty that feels like a silky finish to a little self-care moment.

You don’t have to wait for spring to wear your ivory denim. Let me show you how to do it “right”.

I used to stash my white jeans after Labor Day.
Now they’re my winter wardrobe hero—especially for travel. It’s all about tone-on-tone layers, a chic ankle boot, and not being afraid to mix textures.

P.S. These ecru Paige jeans I’m showing are in the Nordstrom6 drop for a reason.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

Closet editing turned into a sneaker love story… and I fully support the obsession.

These aren’t just “sneakers.” They’re the perfect pairing for everyday ease — especially with wide-leg silhouettes.

From airport outfits to Sunday errands — she’s worn every pair on repeat.

With over 5,000 glowing reviews on Nordstrom alone, it’s not hype — it’s just good design.

Oh..and I’m typically a 6 1/2 or 7 and I went down to the 6 1/2 like she suggested. They’re perfect and so comfy!

#LTKActive #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

A visible lift in seconds, a real transformation over time. That’s Md Aire’s kind of magic.

Eyes and lips—two places that show everything.
Md Aire’s Eye Complex lifted my tired eyes, and their Peptide Lip Mask? Like satin in a jar.
Clean, clinical, and luxuriously simple.

I am always up for trying new products that will help my eyes. This one gets my applause.

#LTKBeauty #LTKmorningroutine #LTKOver40

I did the shopping for you! I stopped inn Crew to grab that tassel pendant necklace and found myself in the dressing room. Go figure. Not everything worked but these got my nod of approval. Thought you might like them too!

This jacket with the fuzzy collar is final sale but worth your risk-so cute! True to size. Quarter-zips snd roll neck sweaters are actually classic AND trending. That black lace-trimmed blouse is a MUST. The stripes make me happy and you can always use a new jacket, right? Everything I’m wearing is small, true to size.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

J Crew (and celebs like Martha Stewart) made the old school roll neck sweater a hot item this year. You’ll wear this cotton striped version now and into next season. Wear it with jeans or pair it with a dressier pant-like this 4-season style-for work.

How to Layer a Sleeveless Dress in January…

Everyone loved this denim midi from the Nordstrom 6 drop — but let’s make it work harder.

I layered mine with a slim turtleneck, a sweater, knee boots, and a wool coat for January. Sleek, practical, and so wearable until spring.

I’ve had that wool coat I’m wearing here for a decade. It’s by Vince and was one of my very first purchases as a Nordstrom Stylist. I wear it every year and I still treasure it! Of course it’s not available anymore, but I included something similar. I’m wearing the dress in a 6 (sized up) to accommodate my bust, but if you aren’t particularly busty, I’d go true to size!

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

J Crew casual outfit. This tee has a little more style than usual with a relaxed shape and slight bell sleeve. Add a trendy bold tassel necklace and boat shoes to complete the look.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKFindsUnder100

Long BOLD pendant necklaces-especially tassel styles-are trending. They were seen on the SS ‘26 fashion runways.

I bought this funky one from J Crew for just $60 and it’s going to add a whole lot of fun to my wardrobe! I love that the cord chain is adjustable.

I’ve linked a bunch more as well.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKOver40

I can’t believe I just discovered Sigma Beauty—4.2 million followers (I get it) and the most natural-feeling clean makeup. Impressed.

Everything blended like silk and looked fresh, not heavy (hallelujah).
They’re having a sitewide sale, so it’s the perfect time to play!

I used hydrating tint in 2/light beige
blush in Pashmina
eyebrow pencil in Blonde
Color Corrector in light to medium
Eyeshadow in Tiramisu
RMS lip2cheek in Crystal Slipper

#LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm #LTKOver40

You know You know all that beautiful brown you added to your closet last year? It’s finally time to finish the look — and I found the shoes to do it. These best-sellers just popped back in stock (here and there, but not for long). No one store had both shoes in all sizes so I linked several. They run a little big, so size down 1/2 size. Foot Locker has 24 colors. Pink back is Dark Brown/Aluminum.

I’ve been doing my own nails for the last 40 years. I’ve learned a lot! These are the secrets to a long-lasting at home manicure.

Save time. Save money. Skip the UV/LED exposure from time to time. You CAN give yourself a long-lasting manicure with the right tools, prep and practice!

Other practical tips:
Wear gloves whenever your nails will be in water for any prolonged amount of time. Every other day, add a thin coat of topcoat to your manicure for extra strength.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

I talk about it all the time because I wear it almost every day. Anna Luisa jewelry is my everyday go-to jewelry. Their pieces are great quality. They are tarnish-proof, water resistant, long-lasting, and come with a two-year warranty.
