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!

6 pieces chosen by 5 pro stylists-it’s the May Nordstrom 6 Drop! These pieces work well together and play nicely with the rest of your wardrobe! Here are six pieces that will jazz up your spring & summer outfits!

The button up is true to size and I’m wearing a small. The sweater is a small, true to size. The jeans-if between sizes-size down. I sized up in the linen pants for a more relaxed feel.

The May Nordstrom6 Drop is here!

This is a collection of pieces (from Nordstrom) chosen by 5 pro stylists that we believe every woman could use to freshen up her wardrobe in May!

The sweater is true to size, the linen pants I sized up, the top is true to size, the jeans-if between sizes, size down.

I don’t wear mini skirts anymore… but this one surprised me.

Most of them feel too short or just not quite right at this stage.

The length is still flattering without feeling overly exposed, and the wrap gives it a more polished feel. Love.

It has a little stretch to it and it’s true to size. I’m 5’4" about 140 pounds and wearing a small.

The April Drop is officially here! 🥂 I’ve teamed up with 5 fellow stylists to vet the latest arrivals.

We’ve narrowed it down to these few essential pieces you need for a modern spring wardrobe.

From the Floral Ruched Dress that fits like a dream to the Jelly Clutch you didn't know you needed—this is how we're styling April.

Everything you guys couldn’t stop buying this month…
The results are in! These are the 15 pieces you loved most in March, from that Maeve midi dress to the colorless linen blend blazer that makes all your outfits a little bit cooler.

#LTKPetite #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

I love a wrap skirt. I love this one so much. I got it in three colors! These have that Farm Rio vibe (but the price is definitely NOT).

This is the kind of thing I like to wear to a summer party with a T-shirt, tank and a simple sandal. Lightweight and not too precious! I’m about 140lbs, size 4/6 and I’m wearing a medium.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

I found a few spring dresses at Target… and now I need your help deciding.

They’re all under $50 (and currently on sale), but more importantly—they’re easy, flattering, and actually wearable for real life.

I also wanted to show a few simple ways I’d cover my shoulders with each one—because let’s be honest, most of us aren’t walking around sleeveless all day.

So tell me…
which one should I keep?

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKSaleAlert

There’s a sweet spot in dressing—where quality, ease, and price all align.
That’s exactly what this edit is about.

These are well-made, thoughtfully designed dresses (and a skirt) that feel polished without being precious—and right now, they’re all on sale at Nordstrom.

The kind of pieces you’ll wear now, and still love next spring.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

So many great TOPS on sale during this Nordstrom Spring Savings Event! I worked as a stylist for Nordstrom for about 10 years so I know good stuff when I see it! Some of my favorite pieces from some of my favorite brands are discounted and moving out quickly. I sorted through thousands of items to help narrow down your shopping.

Take a look at some top tops from some top designers!

Shopping at Anthropologie when you’re over 50 and curvy can be hit or miss… here’s what worked.

I spent a few hours at Anthropologie pulling spring pieces that caught my eye… and then tried them on so you could see what actually works on a curvy over-50 body.

Not everything made the cut—but these pieces did.

The ones I kept felt feminine, easy, and flattering in all the right places (which is always the goal, right?).

Spring style should feel joyful and effortless—not like you’re fighting the clothes. I got you.

#LTKOver40 #LTKPetite #LTKootd

Here’s a few EASY practical everyday outfits to start off your spring-lightweight sweaters and denim-great pieces (stylist approved) and easy on the budget too.

I’m about 140lbs, wearing a 28 in the Mavi rigid denim, a small in everything else.

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.

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.

👇 Tell me in the comments
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

These 6 pieces will get you excited for spring!

🌸High-collar bomber/tech jacket
🌸woven ballet pink tote from Naghedi
🌸short sleeve sweater (the perfect length crop)
🌸relaxed soft drawstring jeans
🌸designer look-alike sandals with pretty beading details
🌸polka dot sundresss

#LTKPetite #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

A feminine touch to your everyday white button-up. The lace detail makes it a great date-night option or wear to work with high-waisted bottoms.

#LTKPetite #LTKWorkwear #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.
