Yes, these are my real lashes! 👀 My duo: Tarte lash primer followed by Sephora Collection tubing mascara. A little extra drama for tonight’s glam. Shop the pair below. 🖤

A little Pretty Woman inspiration, with shoes that can handle the grass. 🐎🥂

Heading to the Kalaway Cup in Barrington Hills this Saturday? Think polka dots, cream sundresses, relaxed tailoring, and woven accessories. For the men: chinos, an Oxford shirt or knit polo, and loafers.

My biggest styling tip: start from the ground up. Elegant flats, low wedges, or broad block heels will serve you better than stilettos for an afternoon fieldside.

Which would you choose: the polka-dot dress, a cream sundress, or tailored trousers?

Trying one of the newest shades of @PixiBeauty’s viral On-the-Glow Blush 🎀✨

Chantilly is giving that soft, dewy, barely-there flush that makes your whole face look instantly fresher — exactly what I want for an effortless makeup day.

I think this shade is going straight into my everyday rotation. 💖🫶🏼

#PixiBeauty #PixiBlush #OnTheGlowBlush #BeautyFinds #NoMakeupMakeup

This little step made such a difference 👀

I’ve been trying to make the most of my natural lashes, and the Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara Primer has been such a good addition underneath tubing mascara. I apply a thin coat first, then go in with my CHANEL mascara to really emphasize the length without making my lashes feel heavy.

I also showed the Sephora Collection tubing mascara as another option, and I’m linking both mascaras + the primer on LTK so you can compare.

If you already have long lashes and want them to actually look long, this combination is worth trying.

What do you wear to an exclusive Japanese artistry dinner at NoMI? ✨

Tonight I’m heading to NoMI at Park Hyatt Chicago for a preview of HERITAGE SERIES: Japanese Artistry, so I wanted something that felt modern, elevated and still very me.

The look: an architectural Staud top I originally rented from Rent the Runway and loved enough to keep, black capri pants — because yes, they’re officially back — minimalist flip-flop heels, and the Polo Ralph Lauren Polo I.D. Small Studded Bag, currently in my RTR rotation.

This is exactly why I love renting for events: it gives me the freedom to experiment with designers, silhouettes and trends without buying a completely new wardrobe for every occasion.

Want to try it? Get 50% off your first month of Rent the Runway with code RTRxJBROWN. 🫶🏼

Now, off to NoMI for a night of Japanese artistry, craftsmanship and incredible food.

A six-course dinner calls for a makeup wear test. 👀🍸

Getting ready for tonight at NoMI meant putting some of my newest beauty finds to the test — including a few gifted launches from Sephora Collection and Armani Beauty, plus two new Chanel purchases I’ve been dying to try.

I went for a warm, tonal look with cinnamon blush, terracotta liner and a neutral lip — but the real question is: what’s actually going to survive six courses?

THE PRODUCTS ✨

• Sephora Collection Shake & Sketch Brow Felt Liner — 03 Dark
• Sephora Collection Fluff & Fix Brow Wax
• Armani Beauty Dolci Blush Smoothing Cream-to-Powder Soft-Matte Balm — 04 Cinnamon Blush
• Sephora Collection 12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner — 04 Matte Terracotta
• Chanel Les Beiges Volume and Definition Mascara — Black
• Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Ultrawear Liquid Lip Colour — 69 Tender Beige

Some products were gifted; Chanel products purchased by me. 🫶🏼

Everything is linked on my LTK to shop the look.

Now let’s see what survives dinner…

SEPHORA COLLECTION… you did not have to go this hard. 👀✨

Just unboxed some of the newest launches from Sephora Collection and my reaction says it all. The new It’s Stretch Tubing Mascara, 12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliners, Shake & Sketch Brow Felt Liners AND Fluff & Fix Brow Wax?! I genuinely cannot wait to put these to the test.

The mascara is first on my list because you know I’m always looking for length, definition and an easy everyday lash. 👀

Thank you @sephora @sephora_collection for the most incredible PR package. 🤍

Outfit of the night, Porsche edition. 🏁❤️

Kicking off Check26 tonight at Porsche Downtown Chicago before the main event takes over Fulton Market tomorrow — which, naturally, called for a look.

I rented this Endless Rose contrast knit midi from Rent the Runway and styled it with strappy black heels, gold jewelry and my Chanel flap bag. This is exactly why I love renting for one-off events: I can choose something that fits the moment without constantly adding dresses to my closet that I may only wear once.

Now, let’s go see some Porsches. 🏎️✨

This is how the North Shore does a picnic at Ravinia 🥂✨

Tonight’s plan: Ricky Martin, three friends, Veuve, and an outfit that feels polished without being impractical for the lawn.

I’m wearing a blue-and-white Polo Ralph Lauren midi dress from Rent the Runway, paired with a grass-friendly chunky heel, woven cream bag, and Chanel Rouge Feu 57 for the perfect late-summer red lip.

Classic summer, a little elevated, and very Ravinia.

I think fall 2026 is changing denim in a way that’s much more interesting than just giving us another “must-have” jean shape.

The shift I’m seeing is polished denim — darker washes, wide-leg silhouettes, chocolate brown, and trouser-inspired jeans styled with crisp shirts, blazers, belts, structured bags, ballet flats, and kitten heels.

Basically: wear your jeans more like trousers.

And I love this because it means your fall wardrobe doesn’t have to start with buying everything new. Sometimes the update is just styling what you already own with more intention.

If you are looking for a new pair, I’m putting together a Fall Denim Edit with options from Revolve, Nordstrom, and Abercrombie at different price points.

Comment DENIM and I’ll share the edit.
And tell me — are you into polished denim for fall, or are you still loyal to a more casual jean?

#FallDenim #FallStyle2026 #DenimTrends #HowToStyleJeans #FallFashion

There’s something about mid-August that makes me want a reset ✨ Kids are going back to school, fall fashion is everywhere, and suddenly I’m craving fresh routines, darker denim, a new planner page, and a little more structure.

I’ve been thinking of it as my adult back-to-school reset — getting back into F45, wearing jeans again, easing fall pieces into my wardrobe, and making small changes that help the next season feel intentional.

And for fashion, I’m trying to experiment before I buy. Rent the Runway is such an easy way to try a silhouette or trend first and see if it actually deserves a place in your closet. You can get 50% off your first month with code RTRxJBROWN.

What’s the first thing you change when you start getting into a fall mindset?

A little North Shore dinner + outfit moment ✨

I got an early look at The Foxtail Glenview House before its August 20 opening, and the whole experience felt so polished — beautiful interiors, live music, Prosecco, grilled octopus, filet, and chocolate mousse cake to finish.

For the night, I wore this Toccin Solid and Striped Bow Shirt Dress from Rent the Runway. I loved the crisp shirting mixed with the dramatic bow detail — feminine, structured, and perfect for an elevated dinner without feeling overly dressed.

Bag charms are officially my favorite way to make a bag feel personal. ✨

I love that you can take something classic and structured and make it feel completely your own — a little playful, a little sentimental, and definitely more interesting.

Some are Amazon finds, some are collected over time, and somehow they all end up telling a story.

Which charm is your favorite?

#BagCharms #HandbagStyle #PersonalStyle #FashionTok #AccessoryTrend

The chicest little work upgrade. ✨

This patterned sleeve actually fits my laptop, so it works for meetings, travel, coffee shop work days, or just keeping everything protected without carrying a bulky case. And the matching glasses case is such a small detail, but together they make the whole setup feel so much more polished.

Practical, but still very much in the aesthetic.

Serving courtside prep with a little Paige Lorenze inspiration. 🎾

I styled this white dress with a Polo cap, Celine sunglasses, delicate jewelry, and my navy Ralph Lauren flag sweater draped over my shoulders for that polished, all-American tennis-club look.

Would you wear sneakers, ballet flats, or sandals with this?

On today’s episode of You Don’t Need Another Handbag… I discovered that I own zero wicker bags, and now this feels less like a want and more like a wardrobe oversight.

The structured silhouette and camel detailing make it feel chic enough for the city—not just the beach.

Would you carry this?

I used to avoid switching handbags because I would inevitably leave something behind. My wallet would be in one bag, my AirPods in another, and somehow my lip products were never where I thought they were.

Now I use the same organizer across nearly every bag I own. I move one insert instead of repacking everything, which makes switching between my Longchamp Le Pliage, JW Pei Yara, Atorie, Boatkin, and everyday bags take seconds.

It also helps each bag hold its shape and keeps everything easy to find. The charm is the finishing touch—it makes the bag feel personal without sacrificing function.

Sometimes the most useful fashion purchase is the one that helps you enjoy what you already own.

What is one small accessory that has made your daily routine easier?

Conference day in Boston—and because I’m filming a luxury travel conference, the outfit needed to feel polished, elevated, and camera-ready.

I’m wearing an ivory satin set from April Seven Studios with Chanel ballet flats and layered Victoria Emerson necklaces. I added a black blazer because the conference-room AC is blasting, and it gives the look a sharper finish without losing the softness of the satin.

Everything is linked in my LTK.

My travel makeup routine in Boston: polished, simple, and built around products that can do more than one job.

I used Victoria Beckham Beauty Foundation Drops and the Contour Stylus, MAC liquid bronzer on both my complexion and eyes, Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Blush in Apricot, Clé de Peau concealer and powder, and Lash Extensionist mascara.

Fewer products, less space, and still enough to feel pulled together for a full day. I linked the routine in my LTK.

My Boston morning skincare routine—kept simple, effective, and carry-on friendly.

I started with Garnier micellar water, followed with SkinCeuticals P-TIOX, then used travel and sample sizes of my Clé de Peau eye cream, day cream, and SPF. Mini products are honestly a lifesaver when you’re packing light because you can still bring the routine your skin knows without giving up half your suitcase.

For me, the best travel skincare routine is the one that protects my skin, keeps it hydrated, and actually fits in my toiletry bag.

My travel duo for Boston: the JW PEI Large Yara handbag and my NOBL carry-on suitcase.

The Yara is the perfect personal-item size because it fits neatly under the airplane seat while still holding everything I want within reach. I added my Chanel perfume purse charm for a little extra personality.

Polished, practical, and carry-on approved.

Life as a content creator: sightseeing all afternoon, rushing back to the hotel, still slightly out of breath—and heading straight to the cocktail reception.

Packing a carry-on for a three-day trip just got so much easier. I used one vacuum-seal travel bag for my clothes, and it compressed everything enough to leave the entire other side of my suitcase open for shoes, toiletries, and accessories.

This is officially one of my favorite travel hacks—especially when I’m trying to avoid checking a bag.

This Bernardo Faux Fox Fur Vest was one of my favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I love the taupe color, the longer length, and the toggle details—it instantly makes a simple fall outfit feel more polished.

I can’t wait to style it over a fitted knit, crisp button-down, or an all-black base once the weather cools down.

#BernardoFashions #NordstromAnniversarySale #FauxFurVest #FallStyle #NordstromFinds

This cropped trench might be one of my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds. It’s polished enough to dress up, easy enough to wear with denim, and the high neckline makes it especially practical for Chicago’s windy weather.

I ordered both a medium and a large, but the medium gives me the cleaner, more tailored fit, so the large will likely be going back. This silhouette is such a strong trend right now, but the neutral color and classic trench details make it feel much more wearable beyond one season.

#NordstromAnniversarySale #CroppedTrench #ChicagoStyle #FallFashionFinds #TryOnHaul

3 outfits. 1 carry-on. Challenge accepted. ✈️

I’m headed to Boston and challenged myself to fit everything into one carry-on without sacrificing style.

Packing:
✨ Ivory satin pants + black satin pants from April 7 Studios
✨ Ivory Kara satin top + a lace satin cami
✨ Milly top from Rent the Runway
✨ Oversized black blazer (plane outfit and dinner look)
✨ Chanel ballet flats
✨ Louis Vuitton cosmetics case
✨ Noble carry-on
✨ A small black crossbody for exploring the city

I’m also packing my KILOGEAR weighted leggings—but here’s the travel hack: I’m putting the weights in my suitcase for the flight and will load them into the leggings once I get to Boston. Extra resistance while walking the city without worrying about airport security.

Now tell me… if you had 48 hours in Boston, what hidden gems, restaurants, coffee shops, or boutiques should I add to my list? 👇

#BostonTravel #CarryOnPacking #TravelStyle #LuxuryTravel #PackWithMe

Boston prep starts with a fresh mani-pedi. I’m going with OPI’m a Bubble Bunny, a soft milky pink inspired by a combination of two OPI classics: Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath. Clean, polished, and easy to wear with every outfit I packed.

Zebra-print shoes are having a moment, but I’d argue they work more like a neutral than a trend. Pair them with denim, ivory trousers, or an all-black look when you want one statement piece to do the work.

I linked four styles at different heel heights so you can choose the version that fits your wardrobe best.

For this price?! I think I need this 👀

#RTRPartner

My first Rent the Runway shipment is here, and I planned every piece around something already on my calendar—from a happy hour collaboration and restaurant opening to Boston dinners and everything in between.

I’m especially excited to have more outfit variety for events, travel, and filming without buying something new every time.

Use code **RTRXJBROWN** for 60% off your first month through July 31.

Which piece should I wear first?

#RentTheRunway #RTRPartner #EventStyle #TravelStyle #FashionEditor

This entire event outfit cost $10—and after a little tailoring, no one will know.

I found it at McShane’s Exchange alongside a Brunello Cucinelli top, Rag & Bone leggings, a Ronny Kobo blouse, oversized J.Jill trousers, and a vintage leather dress by Ganni.

That’s what I love about secondhand shopping: it asks you to look beyond the current fit and see the potential. Great style is not always about buying new. Sometimes it is about preserving craftsmanship, reworking what already exists, and giving a piece a completely new life.

I’m taking the Criscione New York set to the tailor, then wearing it to an event in August.

Would you have spotted the potential?
