Getting dressed should be easy, right? It’s just clothes! How hard can it be? You know your style, you have a vision of how you want to look, and all you need are the outfits. But when you go to shop, you hit the same roadblock over and over… Nothing fits. Pants are too tight in your waist and too loose in your hips. Jeans are too short, but the ri…

One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen in the last 5 years or so in fashion is the desire many of us have for less in our wardrobes. I hear words like “streamlined closet”, “simple outfit formulas”, and a general want for fewer but better options when it comes to getting dressed. Our lives are busier and we want our wardrobes to be more functional tha…

If you’re feeling the itch to upgrade your wardrobe, your first question is more than likely, “Where do I start?” I hear this all the time from women who’ve cleaned out their closets, curated their style moodboards, and are left facing the big, daunting feat of… What’s next? I’m all about buying new pieces with strategy and intention. And while I’v…

It feels a little funny to admit that I have never tried a digital wardrobe app. It’s very possible that you have more experience than I do in this area. But I received a question from our friend Stefanie recently about whether they’re worth it. Even though my personal experience is limited, I have a lot of thoughts. In this episode, I want to expl…

Hey friend. Do you feel like you’re wearing the same outfits on repeat? Are you tired of everything in your closet? Worried your pieces are out of style but don’t have the funds to buy a whole new wardrobe right now? Getting dressed doesn’t feel easy or fun when you’re frustrated and bored with what you have. And I know, with the US election and th…

Lean in, friend. I have a very special treat for you! This Q&A Thursday episode is unlike anything I’ve shared on the podcast before! Today, I’m giving you a sneak peek at a LIVE coaching session inside HER Style Collective. These calls run for a full hour each and every week. And in this snippet from one of our recent calls, you’ll hear me coach 3…

My son, Grey, turned 6 over the summer and started kindergarten this fall and I can't believe how fast time is flying. It feels like just yesterday he started asking the 3-letter question most moms dread… WHY? WHY… do I have to go to bed earlier than the grown ups? WHY… is it dangerous to take a flying leap off my bed? WHY… can't I have that toy I …

Hey friend. I don’t know how long you’ve been on your style journey, pouring into your education, becoming more aware of your shopping choices, and putting extra thought into your outfits. But I bet you’ll agree that one of the hardest things at the beginning of this journey is figuring out how to dress to flatter your body. You’ve probably taken a…

With the exception of my seasonal trend updates, I would say almost all of the episodes on HER Style Podcast contain timeless style tips you can relisten to and apply season after season. So I thought it might be fun to mix things up just a bit and share a very timely episode today. I know it can be a major struggle to figure out where to shop. Sho…

Truth or dare? Okay, it’s actually truth or truth today because I don’t have a good dare in mind for you… But I’m very curious to know how your wardrobe has evolved over the last several years.Have you been working to elevate and streamline your looks? Or has your closet become a sea of outdated and oversized pieces that make you feel more sloppy t…

Whether you love shopping or you hate shopping, an excursion to your local mall can easily become one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences. Between getting turned around and wasting time, the struggle to find something you like or that actually fits, and temptations to impulse buy around every corner, I understand if you don’t bother s…

I love me a good deep dive into one clothing category, which we haven’t done in a minute. So enter today’s 101 all about HOSIERY! Because friend, the temperature is starting to drop just a bit, at least here in the northeast corner of the United States and your legs are about to get chilly. From sheer vs. opaque to color combinations and addressing…

Get ready, friend. Today, we’re facing one of the most frustrating style challenges I know you’ve been experiencing head-on: “It looks great on her, but stupid on me.” (Stupid is a bad word in our house, so let’s hope my son doesn’t hear this episode anytime soon or he will totally call me out on that one!) But in all seriousness, I help my clients…

I think it’s fairly common for us to look like mini versions of our moms or the ones who raise us as kids. And it makes sense. In a healthy home environment, you probably idolized your parents or guardians at least for a time. They helped you pick out and buy your clothes. Maybe they chose everything for you. Maybe they forced you to wear things yo…

Would you love to have a closet full of quality clothing options… without having to buy a thing? Do you hate the idea of investing in pieces you might be tired of wearing by the end of the season? Are you worried about wasting money on the wrong clothes? What if there was one simple solution to all of these questions? There is! It’s called a clothi…

Picture this… You walk into your favorite store, excited to do some shopping for the new season. But as you enter, you notice the front table has sloppy piles of disheveled jeans, jumbled up sweaters, and what looks like an outfit someone wore yesterday laying right there on the floor. You almost tripped over it! As you move further in, you see tha…

If anyone understands the challenges of having little to no time to shop, it’s me. It’s true! I’m a stylist who very rarely shops for myself. I frequently joke with friends, family, and clients that I’m basically the cobbler who has no shoes. But when you’re short on time and still want to stock your closet with well-curated pieces, it’s no laughin…

I would love to take a poll — and maybe you can follow up with me by email and weigh in on this! — to find out whether you’re team Spring & Summer Style or team Fall & Winter Fashion? Because often, I find that my clients have an easier time getting dressed in either the warmer or cooler months and the struggle to transition from one to the next ca…

It’s that time of year again! At least in the northern hemisphere, the air is getting cooler, mornings are feeling crisp, and I’m about ready to break out all of my fall sweaters. Autumn is my favorite season and, as always, one of my favorite things to do is report on what’s trending for the months ahead. There are a lot of new trends to try this …

Do you ever wish it was more socially acceptable to leave the house in your pajamas? Athleisure has certainly reached an all-new level and almost anything goes in our culture today! But if you want to look put together without sacrificing comfort, there’s good news for you. Whether you want to prioritize comfort because of personal style preference…

As a busy, working woman – and maybe you’re a mom or a wife to boot! – you have a lot on your plate. You have relationships to juggle, a career to manage, causes to advocate for, and people to take care of. You probably hesitate to invest in yourself or to make time for your hobbies and interests. There are a lot of serious issues going on in your …

Hopefully, by now, you’ve taken my free Personal Style Quiz and are feeling crystal clear about your style preferences. Maybe, like our friend Meredith who submitted today’s Q&A Thursday question, you know you want to look feminine, polished, and a little bit bohemian. Or your style could be a combination of classic and creative or elegant and dram…

New Year’s might be the biggest day to make transitions, but if you ask me, the end of summer is the best time for a fresh start. If you have the goal to revamp your wardrobe and show up with a whole new level of confidence, there’s no time like now to start planning your looks for the fall season. If you want to know exactly what to wear and ensur…

Did you know there is ONE simple answer to almost all of your current wardrobe challenges? Hear me out. What if I told you you could figure out exactly what to keep and toss from your closet, which basics you need to master a minimal yet stylish wardrobe, and put an endless variety of outfits together, no matter how small your selection, all with t…

When it comes to our wardrobes, there’s almost nothing harder than getting rid of a perfectly good piece of clothing. You know, the one you dropped a little more money on than you should have, that’s been sitting unworn on the hanger, with the tags still attached. Even if you have broken it out of the closet and let it see the light of day, it’s no…

I wasn’t planning to put out another color-related episode quite so soon. But I received an awesome question from our friend, Heather, recently and with a new school year just around the corner, I thought this might be the perfect topic to cover for speakers, teachers, and presenters alike. I know Heather personally and she is a phenomenal professi…

We’re down to the final weeks of summer vacation here on the east coast. But I know a lot of communities around the country are already heading back-to-school! No matter where you live and what your kids’ school calendar looks like, getting little ones dressed in the morning can be one of the biggest challenges (and battles) of your day. I’ve been …

As I approach my 40th birthday this fall, I’m noticing a shift in myself and other women my age. At some point in our 30s and 40s, we seem to start losing our love of chasing trends and develop a deep desire to have a quality wardrobe that lasts. We want to feel mature and look more polished. We want to look stylish in an effortless way without sac…

We need to talk about pre-assembled, done-for-you capsule wardrobes for a minute. I love the idea of keeping things simple and eliminating the guesswork as much as the next gal. Sure, you can follow one of these guides or checklists each season and wind up with a few great pieces you love. The colors might coordinate effortlessly. It might land per…

We’ve been talking a lot about colors recently, and I, for one, am pretty excited about that! It’s such an important component in your wardrobe, but it’s not the only factor to keep in mind when choosing your clothing and accessories. In fact, sometimes, your best colors can be a deterrent when it comes to building a wardrobe you love. Say what now…

I don’t know how long you’ve been listening to HER Style Podcast, whether this is the first episode you’re exploring or if you’ve been following the show consistently for the past year and a half. But I don’t think it’ll take you long to pick up on the fact that I am pretty obsessed with color. I think it’s one of the most underrated aspects of our…

I LOVE traveling. There’s something wonderful about escaping from your routine and something just as lovely about returning to it at the end of a trip. I find being away from home, no matter how incredible, always makes me grateful to get back. I haven’t done too many excursions from my real life lately, with a young child and buying a new home thi…

Let me tell you about the time I completely transformed my closet in ONE afternoon. What did I do, you ask? First, let me tell you what I didn’t do. I didn’t go on a wild shopping spree. I didn’t pile everything I own onto my bed in an effort to eliminate the excess. And I didn’t spend a small fortune. (I actually didn’t spend a penny.) Instead, I …

It’s happened. I’m pretty sure I’ve received the juiciest Q&A Thursday question yet! Our friend, Lyndsay, emailed me and asked, “If you were to do a completely fresh start with your wardrobe. With let's say $500 or less, what would you choose?” Well, Lyndsay, you’d better believe I used every penny of that $500 limit you gave me, but I did it! I sa…

Do you feel like you’re wasting time getting ready in the morning, standing in front of a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear? Are you spending too much on clothes that don’t excite you or feel right for you in this season of life? Is it frustrating to go shopping – in-stores or online – and not be able to easily find what you need, let alo…

Do your style preferences feel like a mismatch? I know mine certainly did after I became a mom. I went from having a bold and dramatic personal style to snuggling my sweet boy and wiping spit up off my shirt most days of the week. My taste preferences didn’t feel like they fit in with my new lifestyle. Maybe you’re in a similar season, wishing you …

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You want a versatile and cohesive wardrobe that feels like you. You’re intrigued by the idea of a streamlined capsule and having less, but better quality pieces in this phase of life. You’re ready to up-level and invest in items you can wear confidently season after season. But, at the same time, you worry you’ll ge…

Happy Independence Day if you’re listening from the USA! I pre-recorded this episode so I could spend the day at a 4th of July parade with my family in the morning and then hopefully taking a dip in our pool, because we are finally in our new home after many long months of (sometimes not so patiently) waiting! Wherever you are joining me in the wor…

One of my FAVORITE romantic comedies is Crazy, Stupid, Love. It’s brilliant. It’s funny. It’s full of unexpected surprises. I highly recommend it. And in that movie, Steve Carell, who plays the main character, describes his wife as the perfect combination of sexy and cute. It’s a superficial, but incredibly sweet compliment all at the same time. An…

Question for you… Are you struggling with your workwear? Dress codes have gotten more lax, athleisure is often allowed, and we have more options than ever before. Yet we often find ourselves defaulting to the same go-to outfit uniform or with the challenge of aligning our professional attire with our style preferences. Our friend Narissa is dealing…

Hey, friend! It’s officially summertime! We just wrapped up a significant heat wave here in the tri-state area, so I have light and airy clothing on my mind. Depending on where you live in the world, it’s very like you do, too. In fact, I’ve talked to several women inside HER Style community recently who are struggling with what to wear on these ho…

Are you scratching your head right now? In the previous episode of HER Style Podcast, I challenged you to be bold and gave you 8 ways to make your outfits more creative, and now, I’m telling you to tone it down. So what gives, right? Well, I’ve been hearing from a number of listeners lately, including our friend Rachel who submitted today’s Q&A Thu…

Whether you love having a small, minimalist wardrobe or your closet is bursting at the seams, I think something we all want is the ability to create lots of versatile looks with the pieces we already own. Last week, I talked about putting together preset outfits as a solution to get ready faster and ensure you have the perfect looks for every occas…

Let me start out by saying, I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses. Aside from a brief stint in personal shopping at J.Crew many years ago, where I helped style the occasional man who wandered in looking for assistance, menswear is not my area of expertise. So when I received a question from our friend, Ann, recently about how to style her hu…

I put out a request to my VIP email community a couple of weeks ago for their help with some market research. I always want to know what you’re struggling with the most and how I can best support you on your style journey. And the results of that project were pretty eye-opening. I heard complaint after complaint that they were wasting way too much …

I can’t wait for you to hear today’s episode! I received a question from our friend, Alyson, recently about whether going gray will impact the clothing colors that suit her. I hear variations of this question all the time, so I knew we had to address this on the podcast sooner rather than later! Whether you’re contemplating going blonde, brunette, …

Are you feeling confused by your personal color palette? This is a problem I hear about far too often. There are quite a few reasons this can happen, which I’ve already spoken about at length in episode #3 of HER Style Podcast, Why Your Color Season Doesn’t Matter and What You Want To Know Instead. But it’s not an issue I see going away anytime soo…

Big news! HER Style Podcast has officially crossed 100,000 downloads! It kind of snuck up on me. But I wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening to the show, sharing it with your friends, and leaving a written review if it’s impacted you in some way. YOU are the reason that I continue to show up every Monday and Thursday with new episodes …

Every once in a while, I feel the nudge to zoom out a little bit and share something I’m learning or about an experience I’m going through in my personal life. 9 times out of 10, it relates back to your style or how you’re showing up. And today’s episode is no exception, so please don’t tune out. I realized this past week that I’ve been putting som…

I have a very juicy episode coming your way today! Our friend, Rachel, reached out with a question I know you’ve been wondering about for yourself, especially if you have an Alluring element to your personal style.
