Brooches are such a fun way to upgrade your outfit! I love brooches for so many reasons and I’ve been collecting them for decades. Whether it’s a brooch you inherited, found at a flea market, or a brand new brooch, the magic is in how you style them. Here are a few of my favorite ways to incorporate them into my looks!

I love this outfit. Total dopamine dressing vibes. And this jacket is currently on sale!

This last week was the holiday of Purim I wore this to go hear the magillah reading at our local Chabad. I wore these really comfortable flats that are easy to walk in and soft for my bunion ladies. BTW, I would wear the exact same outfit with a black belt and black booty if I was in colder weather.

Saturday night going out. It’s always challenging to find going out tops that walk that line between feeling special for going out but yet not feeling too glitzy. This top is super fun and kind of sexy in a good way. I use double-sided tape to make sure it didn’t move around too much.

#LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm

Lounging around the house, and some errands. These pants came as part of a set. I don’t really like them as much with the matching top as I do it with just a plain white tank. They’re basically a barrel pant but sweatpants. And I’ve been wearing this red beaded necklace a lot. It just sort of adds a little touch too casual outfits.

Cooler weather and meeting friends for lunch. This Lizzy Fortunato necklace has been on repeat lately. Wearing it both long like here and doubled. It’s my current mvp. This bag is fab, but not linkable, it’s by MadeWorn

Don’t leave the house until you rip these seams off of your new jacket! They’re only there to prevent creases during shipping/handling. Once it’s out of the box, you need to rip those seams out! I’ve linked the cute little seam ripper that I use!

Does this sweater give anyone else high school flashbacks?! Rollneck sweaters are trending right now and I am loving it!

A rollneck feels slightly more refined than a basic crewneck. It offers the refinement of a turtleneck without the choke and double chin, so it’s incredibly flattering.

This is one of those pieces that quietly makes everything look more expensive (aka quiet luxury).

Greg and I spent the day in Palm Beach and went to the Kipps Bay design house. It was a lovely day. I’ve had this dress for ages and it never disappoints. I wish they still made it! I’d probably buy it in another color. The sweater I have over my shoulder is a fine gauge cashmere and I’ve been wearing it a lot both as a scarf and putting it on. It’s absolutely lovely. Unable to link this bag, but it’s by Made Worn ❤️

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

We had an event at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. So I needed to dress like a grown-up, lol I always like having a go to dark pant suit in my wardrobe. I can wear all the pieces together like I did here or break them apart to wear with Denim, etc., in my more “regular“ life.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKSpringSale

We had friends over to play couples Canasta. So it was an evening in, but it wasn’t just me and my PJs. So this was the next best thing. I’m really into these silky pants lately. For me, I love pairing them with something more structured like a button up or a sweater.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKSpringSale

I swear I had almost this exact sweater set in 1995, I loved it so much, and then we went to dinner outside one night and a bird pooped on it. It was never the same, lol anyway this feels incredibly nostalgic yet very current at the same time. I love the blue and brown color combination. And pairing it with brown suede accessories feel spot on for this time of year. Remind me to talk more about these loafers next week. They’re incredible!

Playing dress up is where the MAGIC happens. ✨

It’s what makes fashion FUN again. It’s what turns “I have nothing to wear” into “oh wait… I love this outfit.”

I’ve been playing dress up my whole life, with my one-on-one clients, in dressing rooms doing research, and apparently still with my college roommate when she pulls out something with the tags still on 😂

So here’s my commitment for 2026: I’m playing dress up MORE! And I’m doing it out loud, with YOU.

No more keeping all the behind-the-scenes magic private. I want you to see it. I want you to feel it. And most importantly, I want you to TRY it.

Pull something out of your closet you haven’t worn in a while! Try a combo you’d never think of. Put on something just because it makes you smile.

That’s how you build real closet confidence, not by following rules, but by PLAYING.

Who’s in?? Tell me in the comments: are you ready to play dress up in 2026?!

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKSpringSale

It’s so important to be mindful of proportions! This is a great visual example of how I needed to adjust pant length based on where my topper is hitting. The devil is in the details, my friends!!

This is not your grandmother’s way of wearing your glasses around your neck! I am loving this easy, casual style of wearing your sunglasses around your neck. If you have a longer chain necklace and a pair of sunnies, you’ve got everything you need to start rocking this style!

What do you think about this look - yay or nay?

The 5 pieces of jewelry that I am wearing on repeat (and recommending to all of my personal styling clients)!

Some are classics that you probably already own (time to pull them out!), and a couple are newer favorites that are about to become your go-tos.

I put together a blog post with my recommendations for all 5 categories, linked at various price points!

If you have olive green pants in your wardrobe, it’s time to bring them out! And if you don’t already have them, I rounded up several great pairs in my 2026 Fashion Trend Report.

If you want to branch out from basic black trousers or jeans but still feel grounded, olive is a beautiful option!

Let me help you take the guesswork out of styling dark denim! When in doubt, you cannot go wrong with navy. It gives a cool, monochromatic look that feels effortless without being too matchy-matchy.

#LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm

You don’t need to go shopping to refresh your wardrobe! Here’s a trend I bet you can do with something you already have. Try styling a cardigan as a shirt!

It’s an easy way to feel current without investing in new trends. Will you be styling a cardigan this way?!

This week I had an evening Canasta game. So I wanted to wear comfy clothes but still look somewhat put together. Wearing one of my gray sweatshirts because I’m super addicted to these lately and totally obsessed with these clogs. They offer really good arch support and are kind of so ugly. they’re cool.

#LTKootd #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife

We went to see Mr. Swindle's Traveling Peculiarium with my father-in-law and sister-in-law. It’s sort of a circus under a big top tent. It was a unique experience. And so I wanted to be somewhat comfy, but still put together. And also wear comfortable shoes.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Dinner plans with friends.
I always love wearing a white shirt and denim. When I saw this fun one with the eyelet top, I had to order it. I really like how it’s classic but with a little different silhouette. And I’m just wearing a nude bra and you don’t see anything on top.

#LTKgrwm #LTKmomlife #LTKootd

This is a little PSA for my fellow short ladies. I’m 5’4”, so sometimes ordering pants in petite sizes feels like an easy way to avoid a trip to the tailor, but that does NOT always work.

I love these pants, but I would be better off with the regular length and then going to the tailor to get it perfect for me. Little details like this can make all the difference! You can always shorten, but it’s very difficult to lengthen.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

I am kind of obsessed with gray sweatshirts right now. They’re the perfect level of casual but finished. Wearing one makes me feel effortlessly put-together!

Comment SHOP for the links to shop this look + the other gray sweatshirts I’ve been wearing nonstop!

Date night for Omakase at sushi by bou. I love the idea of a one shoulder sweater. It’s sort of showing just enough skin and keeping half of your body warm. I know that sounds weird. I think of it like riding in a convertible with heated seats. Are you picking up what I’m putting down?

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

I wore this top out to dinner and to fly to Florida the next day. The cut and fabric are spectacular. Light weight with beautiful drape yet not dressy. The story of the brands sustainably and culture really aligns with me.

#LTKootd #LTKgrwm #LTKstorytime

I really am loving these leggings by Fabletics. They’re a little thicker material so they hold everything in. And they have a special design on the back that makes your bum look extra perky! I picked a maroon color which is close to black but not black. And I like that it makes me feel like I’m branching out, lol. I’ve also been wearing this gator around my neck to protect from the sun. I need to preserve everything after that chemical peel.

If you’re having a hard time styling the modern wide leg jean, here’s some advice from a personal stylist! It’s all about balance and adjusting to the newer proportions.

If you think everyone else gets dressed effortlessly… allow me to introduce you to real life. Build an outfit with me as a 55-year-old hot mess!

Style isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up anyway. So have some fun while you get dressed!

Valentine’s Day outfits: theme or no theme? 💘

If you love an excuse to dress up, I’ve got you. If you prefer a subtle nod (or nothing at all), I’ve got you too.

I just shared a new blog post with lots of Valentine’s Day outfit inspiration, from all-out pink and red to quiet little heart details.
