The new year is a great time to refresh your cosmetics.

I’m sharing nine of my favorite cosmetics I use daily. Some are long-time favorites like Armani luminous silk foundation, Chanel Mascara and eyeshadow, and some were recommendations I just started using, like Victoria Beckham liner.
I’m careful about the products I put on my skin, and I recommend these cosmetics.

Do you plan your outfits for the week?

When my schedule is full—or I’m packing for travel—planning outfits ahead makes mornings so much easier. It also helps me see what’s missing in my wardrobe.

This is Part 1 of my Week of Outfit Inspiration series. I’m starting with simple basics and adding fun accessories to keep each look fresh.

Which is your favorite outfit.

9 cosmetics I use every day. The Armani luminous silk foundation is a new formula. It goes on smoothly and has excellent coverage.

The Westman Atelier concealer has fantastic coverage, hiding dark spots and highlighting the under-eye area.

Not pictured is Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted eye cream. I use this under my eye, and it has an instant brightening effect. I use either this product or the Westman Atelier.

Outfit of the day – yes, I’m repeating.

These are neutral basics I wear often – neutral but never boring. I like knowing each piece can be styled several ways. That’s how I create outfits that feel easy, polished, and wearable.

This is my casual Friday look – simple, comfortable, and something you can wear often.

If you’re heading into 2026 looking for updated classics with an easy, casual–chic feel, you’re in the right place. Follow along, I’d love to have you here.

If your closet feels full but you have nothing to wear, it’s time for a closet edit or a cleanout.

I’ve helped many friends and customers clean out their closets, and these are the steps I take.

Don’t try to do everything at once; start small and make it simple.

Grab a rolling rack and work in sections. I always start with denim.

Put all your denim on the rack and try each pair on. If it fits, and you wear it, it stays. If it doesn’t fit, you don’t like it, it’s outdated, or it gives you bad feelings, let it go.

Take your time and make good decisions.

Do this for each section of your closet. Stay tuned for part 2-what goes where.
Save and share with a friend who might need a closet edit.

Yes, it is okay to wear white in the winter 🤍
Start with great jeans and add a few rich, seasonal neutrals.

Try them with:
• Soft icy blue and camel for a fresh winter look
• Camel and dark green for a classic, rich feel
• Grey with brown suede for everyday, wearable style
• Classic black for a clean, polished finish

Welcoming a new grandchild, celebrating my daughter‘s wedding, and traveling to Paris, Italy, New York, and California-moments I’ll always be grateful for.

I’ve been thinking about the new year and what I want to take with me: chic outfits to share, great friends, family time and traditions, being intentional with how I spend my time, trips and adventures, and finding my people here!

How about you? What’s one thing you are taking with you in the new year?

If you’re looking for a refresh for the New Year and want chic, easy-to-wear trends, Nordstrom Rack is a great place to start.

It’s one of my favorite places for finding quality brands at great prices — without overthinking it.

Here are 5 wearable trends I’m loving right now: all items fit tts. If you are between sizes in jeans, size down.

1. Soft blue sweater by Vince
A fresh, easy layer for tees or button-ups. Pair with ecru or dark wash jeans.
2. Cream & ecru tones
Soft, light neutrals with Color-of-the-Year vibes you’ll reach for all winter long.
3. Dark wash denim by FRAME
Polished, flattering, and very current.
4. Snakeskin boots by Sam Edelman
An easy way to add a little pattern while staying neutral — and they’re so comfortable (selling fast).
5. Classic jackets — like this one by DKNY
Timeless, chic, and one of those pieces you’ll be glad to have in your closet for years.
I linked a few more great finds, too.

Favorite straight jeans, boots, and a handbag complete the look. Want some extra color? Try adding a scarf.
