These days I’m all about style with comfort and that starts with the proper undergarments! I love having options and my SKIMS butt enhancing short and my Spanx Thinstincts 2.0 6” shorts and brief. These styles smooth me in all the right places!

Shape wear keeps you smooth, no matter your shape or size, giving you the most polished and flattering look.

What I wore for Living Noire, a classic all-black moment that always feels right for the holidays. Structured layers, an easy silhouette, and a statement bag make this the kind of look you can wear to dinner, shopping, or a night out and still feel polished.

This is also a great example of shopping your closet: if you have a black dress and a great coat, you already have the foundation. It’s all in the styling ✨

#LTKPlusSize #LTKSeasonal

This outfit is from two years back, but it’s a perfect reminder that great holiday looks don’t expire. I love mixing classic black layers with a bold pop of color — red tights instantly make the look feel festive without being overdone.

If you have similar pieces in your closet, this is an easy outfit to recreate for the holidays: a statement coat, a simple dress, bold hosiery, and a chic bag. Sometimes it’s just about styling what you already own in a fresh way.

Sharing older looks like this to show how versatile classic pieces really are 🤍✨

A little snippet from our YouTube vlog sharing my ideas for the coffee table and the wreath we picked out this season. The wreath is so full and fluffy — we found it at a family-owned farm, which made it feel even more special. And the bear on the table? That’s actually a Pottery Barn pillow, and I couldn’t resist styling it in the space.

I love walking through décor ideas before everything is finalized — it helps the space come together more intentionally. The completed holiday décor is up now, and you can see the finished look here on my LTK as well 🤍✨

Classic Christmas entry moment 🎄✨
So pleased with how this wreath turned out. The full, fresh greenery paired with the rich plaid bow feels timeless, festive, and welcoming the moment you walk up to the door. It’s one of those pieces that instantly sets the tone for the season without needing anything else.

I love décor that feels traditional but still elevated this wreath does exactly that. Linking similar holiday wreaths and bows for your own front-door moment 🤍✨

I got the wreath with added mixed greens!

My go-to everyday sneaker 🖤
These black New Balance sneakers are that shoe for me. This is my fifth pair of this style, they’re insanely comfortable, supportive, and easy to wear all day. I love how they work with leggings, coats, and casual outfits without feeling bulky or too sporty.

Perfect for errands, travel days, or long walks. If comfort is a priority, these never disappoint. I honestly keep coming back to them for a reason.

Everyday glow favorite ✨🤍
This Sol de Janeiro lotion is one I keep reaching for. It’s rich, smooth, and deeply moisturizing, but still absorbs beautifully into the skin. The scent is their classic, signature fragrance, warm, comforting, and so good layered with perfume.

It also contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which makes it perfect for keeping skin soft during the cooler months. This has been such a staple in my body-care routine lately.

Holiday tray styling preview 🎄✨
I pulled everything onto my coffee table tray today to play around with a few holiday styling ideas. The plaid bear is definitely staying — he’s the star of the moment — and I’m thinking the gift box might make the final cut too. I’ll be swapping out the candles for a small faux tree to add height and a little winter magic.

Still experimenting, but I can’t wait to see how the final setup comes together and share the finished look with you all. Linking similar pieces so you can start planning your own cozy holiday tray styling 🤍✨

Winter glow essentials ✨🤍
Testing a few beauty favorites today, and these three did not miss. The Sol de Janeiro lotion is so smooth and creamy — super moisturizing and smells amazing. The Saltair shimmering body oil adds the prettiest winter glow on the skin and layers beautifully with fragrance.

And this L’Oréal mascara… I love it. Even on days when I skip makeup, I still reach for this. It lengthens without clumps, feels lightweight, and just makes the lashes look clean and defined. I’ve used L’Oréal mascaras for years, tried others, and now I’m right back — they really do mascara well.

Linking everything I used for today’s glow test ✨🧡

Holiday shopping uniform ✨🛍️
Wore this easy, comfortable outfit for a full day of holiday shopping — a lightweight long coat, soft layers, and leggings with my favorite sneakers. Simple, warm, and perfect for running errands without feeling bulky.

I love a neutral palette this time of year… it keeps everything looking pulled together even when I’m moving around all day. Linking similar pieces so you can recreate this cozy shopping look 🤎✨

Holiday chandelier inspo ✨
Nothing transforms a room faster than a beautiful chandelier. Lamps Plus had so many gorgeous styles — modern, sculptural, warm, and statement-making. If you’re sprucing up for the holidays, a new chandelier can instantly elevate your dining room or entryway.

Fragrance wishlist for the season ✨🤍
I’ve been exploring new scents and these bottles immediately caught my eye. Soft, airy, beautifully blended… and the packaging alone feels like art. Adding them to my fragrance wishlist for the year — the kind of scents that feel special enough for winter but still wearable all year long.

If you’re building your own scent wardrobe or looking for a luxe gift idea, these are definitely worth sampling. Linking similar fragrances I’m loving this season ✨🌿

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKBeauty

Holiday shopping in all-black everything ✨🖤
Today’s outfit was simple, sleek, and warm enough for a full day of running around. A long black coat, an easy all-black base, my go-to sneakers, and a structured bag — effortless, comfortable, and still put-together for holiday errands and mall days.

I love a monochrome look this time of year… it feels chic without trying and works for shopping, coffee runs, or casual festive outings. Linking similar pieces so you can recreate this cozy holiday shopping uniform 🖤✨

Sprucing up my space a bit ✨
I stopped into Bath & Body Works today and picked up a new foaming hand soap dispenser — but I couldn’t decide on a color at first. Now I want to know… which color do you think I grabbed? 👀🤍

Linking the ones I looked at in case you’re updating your home too. Soft little home upgrades always feel good this time of year.

Cozy café moments ✨☕️
Keyondra and I stopped by Café Lavande today for a little sister coffee break, and it was so good. We both ordered Lotus lattes — warm, sweet, and perfect for a chilly day. We shared a cream-filled puff pastry, a Napoleon, and she grabbed a brownie too. Soft, flaky, chocolatey… all the cozy café vibes.

I love mixing in these simple lifestyle moments here — not quite “spend the day with me,” but more of a soft peek into the everyday things that make the season feel sweet. Consider this your reminder to take a little coffee break, try something new, or treat yourself to a pastry moment today 🤍✨

Sweet, simple fall moments 🍨✨
Sharing a little vlog-style moment, my sister and I grabbed sundaes from Van Leeuwen. She went for salted caramel, and I had the hazelnut sundae (my favorite!). Cold weather doesn’t stop our ice cream dates… some treats are year-round energy.

I love mixing in these soft lifestyle moments on LTK, the cozy, everyday things that make life feel sweet even in the fall/winter. Consider this your sign to enjoy a little ice cream night of your own 🤍❄️

Soft, cozy, and wellness-ready with Ulta Beauty 🤍✨
Sharing a few of my favorite wellness finds from Ulta Beauty perfect for gifting, stocking stuffers, or treating yourself this holiday season.

The Solawave Wand is such a good at-home skincare tool for lifting, de-puffing, and giving my skin that soft, glowy look. And Kitsch always has the cutest wellness essentials: the satin bonnet, satin pillowcases, and satin eye mask are all great budget-friendly options. While I personally prefer silk over satin, these satin pillowcases are still amazing for protecting your hair and skin just a little slippery! But for the price and the quality, they make the sweetest little holiday gifts.

Soft, creamy, and so pretty for everyday glam and the holidays!✨
Today’s lip + complexion combo is one of my all-time favorites. I’ve been using these Amazon triangle powder puffs for a couple of years now, a makeup artist put me on, and honestly… they blend better than a beauty blender. Total lifesaver for smoothing under the eyes and setting makeup without looking cakey.

For lips, I used the L’Oréal creamy liner in Lasting Plum,
so smooth, so pretty on brown skin. Topped it with my favorite Valentino Disco Lip Balm in Extra Pink, which gives the softest flush of color. Not sticky, not glossy… just a gorgeous, hydrated sheen that feels luxe and effortless.

Linking everything so you can grab the full combo 🤍💄✨

Soft, sleek, and so giftable 🤍✨
Sharing one of my favorite beauty finds this season the Morphe Portrait Mode brush set. The bristles are soft and blend like a dream, and the minimalist handles look so luxe on the vanity. This ULTA exclusive is perfect for winter glam, everyday makeup, or gifting to the beauty lovers in your life.

Whether you’re doing a soft holiday look, refreshing your brush collection, or grabbing a quick last-minute gift, this set is such an easy win. Linking everything so you can shop the full moment ✨🖤

#LTKBeauty #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

Exclusively at Ulta, these make the perfect stocking stuffers/gifts!

The blush is so pigmented and smooth! The brushes are soft and flexible and help create the perfect makeup look. I’ve been using Morphe brushes for years now and these are the same great quality!

Soft, sparkly, shiny winter essentials ✨
My everyday glow trio this season: a silky vitamin-infused lotion, a warm shimmering body oil, and a sweet, soft daytime fragrance that feels perfect for winter.

I’ve been layering the Sol de Janeiro Body Balm under my outfits for that smooth, hydrated base, then adding the Saltair shimmer oil on my chest, shoulders, and legs for a sparkly glow that catches the winter light beautifully. And this Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple isn’t a holiday scent, but it’s been my go-to daytime fragrance all season — cozy, sweet, and so easy to wear.

Perfect for winter outings, casual holiday moments, or gifting to someone who loves a soft, feminine scent ✨🤍
