It’s tiiiiiiime. ❤️🎄 Instead of reaching for your reliable LBD this season, swap it for the BRD - the bold red dress. "Cinematic and vivacious, a red dress is a bold statement of confidence…a color of joy, celebration, and new beginnings." - Vogue (2025) But it’s not just the color...the fabric makes the mood. ❤️ Satin gives main character energy, gliding with every step and catching candlelight beautifully. ❤️ Velvet leans into holiday glamour - lush, warm, and impossibly photogenic. ❤️ Soft knits offer a cozy-chic option for more casual gatherings while still feeling elevated. Bring the drama. It’s December, after all. Bises! Lili Personal Stylist SF→NYC LTKHoliday LTKSeasonal LTKBeauty

Holiday style doesn’t have to be loud to feel festive. It’s the balance that makes it chic: one statement piece, everything else pared back.

A shimmering skirt paired with the simplest pieces you already own (like a crisp white button-down) is the perfect combo. Add a faux-fur layer, minimal jewelry, and a clean black heel - and voilà!

Effortless, elevated, and ready in minutes.

A little prep, a few good pieces, and suddenly getting dressed feels easy again.

If you want stress-free outfits this season, focus on your base look...then add your 5 points.

A statement bag, a sparkly shoe, a touch of jewelry, a bold lip, a layer - it’s the simplest way to stay polished for every holiday moment.

Regardless of how cute your sweater is and how perfectly it matches with your trousers, when we’re walking out the door we’re covering it all up with a big coat.

Accessories are great adornments, decorations to the outfit, but there's still a lot to be done to the outfit itself to change the look. So let's add texture, layers, and color, of course!

Here are 2 ways to style your winter Navy Coat this season!

✨ Look 1:
Navy doesn’t have to be quiet - the animal-print scarf and matching ballerinas instantly inject a returning trend into a classic coat.

The brown belt and suede @isabelmarant bag add warmth and texture, while the gold stone-circle earrings echo the print in a subtle, elevated way. It’s refined, playful, and everyday wearable.

✨ Look 2:
Here, the navy coat becomes a perfect canvas for a burst of complementary color. The orange ruffled bag, vintage-style sunglasses, and sculptural hoops pop beautifully against the deep blue, creating a look that feels bold without being loud.

Tan leather gloves and pointed boots keep the palette grounded so the contrast stays chic and intentional.

Wanting more? Follow me for 2 more winter coats, each styled 2 different ways 😉

The 5-Point Rule is all about simple upgrades that make a big impact; starting with metallics. Think of shimmer as your easiest holiday style point. It catches the light, adds dimension, and pulls your look together without trying too hard.

Here are a few quick ways to add your “1-Point Metallic”:
• A metallic shoe, earring, or bag
• Let your accessories catch the light as you move
• A quick mirror spin to see how the shine elevates the whole outfit

Small detail. Big transformation.

Which metallic moment are you adding to your holiday looks?

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKBeauty

The 5-Point Rule makes holiday dressing simple - especially when you start with a classic black dress you already own.

You don’t need a new outfit. You just need the right accessories to elevate it.

Here’s the breakdown...
+2 Points: A statement bag that commands attention (this pearl purse earns 2 all on her own)
+1 Point: Sparkly heels
+1 Point: Shimmery or bold earrings
+1 Point: A fur or faux-fur coat for texture and drama

With just 5 points, you turn your simplest dress into a full holiday look.

Minimal effort. Maximum impact.

Which accessory are you letting take center stage this season?

Adding COLOR to your winter wardrobe = mood booster + confidence enhancer (and yes, shoppable links on my LTK! You're welcome!)

While neutral shades are versatile and easy to mix & match, they don’t always reflect the energy you want to bring and the personality you have in your day-to-day life.

It isn’t about NOT wearing any neutrals; rather, it’s about finding the right balance between practicality and vibrancy.

Here's a sneak peek at how to incorporate color into your winter looks:

1. Accessorize: Think scarves, hats, gloves, or statement bags in bold hues like emerald green, royal blue, or vibrant red. Even a brightly colored belt over a neutral coat can transform your silhouette.

2. Statement Outerwear: A yellow peacoat, a plaid long coat, or your favorite color as a coat can be your winter centerpiece, with neutrals as complementary accents.

When it comes to a big purchase like a coat, I recommend sticking to your color season, and if you don’t know yours, I can help. 😉 Learn your best colors with my self-guided Color Analysis mini-course or by doing a color analysis with moi! ALSO, it makes a great gift! (Link in bio.)

3. Details: I love an understated pop of color, a colored seam, or even just some details on a sweater. These little pops of color make your outfit more fun and appealing while remaining elegant and thoughtful.

Here's option no. 3 for this season's holiday wear, styled from casual to elevated.

🖤 Holiday Outfit Base = Burgundy Corduroy Pants 🖤

Outfit 1: Casual Gathering
Platform chelsea boots and a leather jacket are staples of the season to keep you warm and comfortable. Perfect for a casual Thanksgiving get together.

Outfit 2: Family Lunch
The perfect elegant but not fussy look for a family gathering. Elegant pearls perfectly kept down to earth with some polished loafers. And of course, always throw in a fun accessory like this Staud bag.

Outfit 3: Dinner Party
For a more elegant affair, bring out the sparkles. Of course in your jewelry, but also in your bags and shoes. It is the start of the holiday season and I know I’ll be adding this top to my wishlist.

Thanksgiving style doesn’t need to be complicated, the cooking is stressful enough. Enjoy!

Shop every look (and my favorite styles) right here on my LTK. From suede to snake print, kitten heels to combat soles, winter 2025 is all about choosing a pair of ankle boots that fits your mood and signature style.

Here’s how to wear them this season…

From Office to Après-Ski
Suede + leather is this winter's power combo. Mix tailored pieces with a cozy winter-inspired knit. Polished meets sporty - the perfect “straight to cocktails after work” vibe.

Ladylike Old Money
Embossed textures are having a moment. Snake and croc finishes take a simple boot and make it lux. Style with a pencil skirt, long gloves, and a red lip for a glamorous, grown-up winter look.

Countryside Prep
Chukka-style boots in rich suede feel preppy and practical. Pair them with winter whites, an oxford, a barn jacket, and a cheeky peek of a patterned sock - classic with a twist.

Edgy Cool (But Still Soft)
Combat boots aren’t going anywhere. Winterize them with opaque tights, chunky socks, a wrap coat, and shearling accessories. It’s comfort, texture, and attitude in one.

City Chic
A sleek kitten-heel boot instantly elevates denim and a leather jacket. It’s low-effort polish for those days you want something cool but not complicated.

The best ankle boots work with your wardrobe...jeans, midi skirts, trousers, knits, you name it. Statement or subtle, they anchor every winter outfit from the ankle up. 😉

You know the City Chic would be my top style choice but I am actually liking the ladylike Old Money vibe! Which one is your favorite?

1 Piece, 3 Outfits: Holiday Edition Part 1/3

With the right accessories, any look can shift from cozy to chic in seconds.

Think of it as a style remix: a change of shoes, a swap of earrings, a different bag, or even a quick hair adjustment can completely alter the tone of your outfit without changing the foundation.

Here's 1 outfit base, styled for 3 different levels of holiday celebration: casual, family, and elevated.

🤎 Holiday Outfit Base = Midi Suede Brown Skirt 🤎

Outfit 1: Casual Gathering
For a casual get together, a tone on tone outfit is perfect for fall. Pair a chocolate brown skirt with tan accessories and a cream top. Platform loafers always give the impression of being put together, yet casual.

Outfit 2: Family Lunch
Step it up with some wine colored accessories for a chicer look. Still elevated but casual at the same time.

Outfit 3: Dinner Party
For a more formal affair, a blazer over a lace cami will keep your outfit polished and youthful. Accessorize with elegant leather accessories and some standout jewelry.

Follow along for 2 more outfit bases, styled 3 ways again! 😉

Short or long - the right trench always finishes the look.

Your jacket should always complement your pants, not compete. It’s all about proportions.

Even as the temperature drops, we're holding onto a staple from our summer wardrobes: the slip dress.

I’m wearing mine straight through fall, just add layers.

Here's how:
• Throw a sweater over for weekend ease.
• Wear over slim trousers for a chic office moment.
• Layer over a fitted turtleneck and under a classic trench for the city.
• With a cardigan and slouchy leather bomber for a mix of soft and edgy.

It’s the easiest way to keep your favorite summer piece on rotation.

Outfit feel flat? Count your points.

What do I mean?

Well, let me introduce you to my 5-Point Formula I teach to my clients:

Your base outfit - top, bottom, and shoes - is just the starting point. What turns it into style are the details.

Each accessory or styling touch counts as 1 point: a scarf, a belt, earrings, a statement shoe, even a bold lip.

The magic number? 5 points.

It is five intentional stand out accessories or embellishments that turn “getting dressed” into styling.

It’s the balance between simple and styled - and it always works.

Save this for your next outfit check.

Linen and rattan can rest for now…fall is here, winter is on its way, and here are my favorite fabrics for the cooler seasons!

01 // Suede
A camel suede jacket thrown over denim instantly feels seasonal and chic. I just love it.

02 // Chunky Knits
One of my favorite tricks? Layer a chunky knit over a summer dress - suddenly it’s a perfect transitional outfit, and you get to keep wearing that favorite dress a little longer.

03 // Soft Leather
Leather doesn’t have to be tough. A fluid leather trench or wide-leg leather pants bring sophistication with an edge.

Sometimes, just one textured piece is enough to shift your whole outfit into the season.

From client color sessions to endless racks of clothes - it’s been a busy month of turning clients' vision into reality.

Building a styling business means more than creating beautiful outfits; it’s about helping women step into confidence through intentional choices.

And let’s not forget about the behind-the-scenes side - accounting, marketing, planning, social media...and all the little moving parts that keep everything running. It’s a lot, but it’s what makes this journey so rewarding. ✨

Please don't hate me for the last one...

These pieces are rarely flattering on anyone or practical...

01 // The Bubble Silhouette
Unnecessary volume for the curvier ladies. Leave it for the tweens.

02 // Cargo Pants
I have mixed feelings... just very trendy and will not go away.

03 // "Twofer" Sweaters
Remember the old cut-out "cold shoulders?" Now it's a built-in sweater draped over a sweater... why??? It's attached... very impractical.

04 // Barrel Jeans
Creates a rounder leg. Not flattering at all. I said what I said.

What's a style or trend you keep seeing and cannot get behind??

Speak your truth in the comments.

Easy, cool, versatile = your Fall wardrobe basics.

These aren’t just pieces you wear once—they’re the building blocks you’ll style on repeat.

Here's what to look for:
01 // One and done dresses
The easiest answer to “I have nothing to wear.” Throw on a sleek shirtdress or knit midi and layer with tall boots and a blazer. One piece, infinite styling potential.

02 // Easy flats
Ballet flats and loafers are the chic alternative to sneakers when you need something elevated but effortless. A square toe or soft leather loafer can carry you from the office to a night out without the blisters.

03 // A great pair of jeans
This season is all about shape. Wide-leg, cropped flares, and barrel jeans are everywhere—and the best part is they look polished with a crisp shirt and loafers or relaxed with a trench and sneakers.

04 // Crisp shirting
The backbone of any classic wardrobe. Wear it buttoned-up with trousers, open over a slip dress, or tucked into jeans for that effortless French feel. Stripes, soft blues, and fresh whites will never fail you.

05 // Lightweight layers
The secret to making transitional outfits work. A blazer, a soft duster, or a cropped jacket adds dimension without the bulk. You can stick to versatile neutrals—camel, cream, or denim—for maximum mix-and-match power.

Basics don’t mean boring. They mean you can actually get dressed without the panic. Which of these is already in your fall rotation?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip #LTKWorkwear

Yes, the beige trench will forever be iconic (Thank you, Audrey Hepburn). But this fall, the trench is getting a serious update... shorter, bolder, richer, and even a little dramatic.

Here’s what to try:

Cropped
A trench… jacket. Keep the classic double-breasted details, just add high-waisted trousers or baggy denim for polish.

Cape Style
Dramatic draping that’s no longer runway-only. Sleek, minimal, and made for the modern dresser.

Leather
Downtown edge meets timeless tailoring. A belted leather trench with a white shirt and midi skirt instantly earns street-style approval.

Suede
Luxe and very ‘70s. Stick to chocolate, mocha, or rust tones and style with modern basics like denim and cashmere (skip the boho overload).

New Neutrals
Navy, gray, or olive give the trench new life while still pairing with everything. Consider it a fresh spin on the classic.

You can find all of the LINKS to shop from Uniqlo and Zara to Massimo Dutti and NOUR HAMMOUR on my LTK.

Which version are you going to swap in?

Scarf-wearing? Très chic. It's a yes from me.

I pulled top fall transitional pieces from Vogue's Most Wanted and you probably have a few already in your wardrobe!

Here are the details:
1. Lingerie Dressing
2. Scarf wearing many ways
3. Midi skirts
4. Oversized tees & dress shirts
5. Longer shorts
6. Corduroy jackets & Wide leg trousers
7. Polo neck sweaters

And here's how I would style my favorites...

Pair a midi skirt with an oversized shirt or a cozy knit for a chic daytime look.

Style longer shorts with heeled boots and a tee and finish the look with a printed scarf tied around your neck.

Layer a lace cami under a leather jacket and pair it with wide-leg trousers.

Voilà!

You're not going to like this, but we're throwing out the comfortable, unflattering, unfashionable "slacks" for these types of bottoms:

• Wider leg trousers
• Front slits to show off your shoes
• Tailored bermudas
• Pleated skorts
• Skants (skirt over pants)

I'm seeing a mix of classic tailoring and modern styles in "new suiting," with a focus on oversized fits, bold colors, and unique details.

Here's how you can style these pieces in your everyday life!
