Spring is here which means the warmer temps are headed our way (soon I hope!). Time to think about adding a pair of white jeans into your spring rotation, right? First, I want to be clear that white jeans are not an essential in my book. I think they are not the easiest to wear […]

I had a blast styling one of my clients recently. She is a mom of two young girls, works full time, AND is in school! Talk about busy! When we first met, she struggled putting together outfits because she felt like her wardrobe lacked essential items she could wear to work, school and on the […]

We love our jeans! It’s a sad day when we have to say goodbye to a pair that is worn beyond repair. One spot that jeans wear most quickly is at the, ahem, crotch. This occurs from rubbing, sweat, etc. It’s not just a denim problem, either. It’s an issue that happens to men’s trousers […]

I had so much fun styling one of my clients this week, I had to share! She has such a vibrant energy and a contagious enthusiasm to clear out the clutter and update her look. I couldn’t wait to get started! When I first met this client, she was in a rut we all have […]

One of my favorite moments of 2017 was traveling to Fort Worth, Texas with Alison Gary of Wardrobe Oxygen. We produced and ran a two-day seminar geared toward women running for political office. When two of Alison’s readers contacted her for some expert style advice for women political candidates, she approached me to partner with her.  […]

And although the cardigan may get a bad rap for its prim […]

When I received the call to style a team of architects heading out to the West Coast to present a proposal for a project, I was excited and ready to put my styling skills to work! I had worked with Quinn Evans a couple of times already, partnering with photographer extraordinaire, E. Brady Robinson, for […]
