How to Elevate Your Look Using What You Already Own

As a personal stylist for women, I’m all about intentional shopping. Only purchasing items that flatter your frame, communicate your authentic personal style, are in your color palette and reflect your values when needed feels good. It saves you money, time and heartache. It’s also a more sustainable choice.

With the tariffs in full swing, it definitely feels like the time is right to just take a break from all shopping. I’m with you.

Yes! Clothes can be rented or borrowed. But there are a few things you’ll want to grab before the opportunity is gone. Based on all the information I’m taking in, things will either not be available or they will be available but at much steeper prices. Don’t get yourself in a bind. I’ve got you.

2025 Spring Color Trend: Rose

What’s more fun than scoping out fresh colors as the seasons change? As a personal stylist for women who specializes in intentional online shopping lists (aka Uber Wishlists) for clients, I’m SO excited for this collection of shades. Here’s our third post in the series.

Whether you opt for true rose or pale pink, this can absolutely act as a neutral in your closet, depending on your color palette. Remember to draw the eye to the areas of your body you’d like to celebrate using bright or light colors (like rose or pink!), prints, texture and skin. The eye always goes to skin. Now, have fun with rose. Pull out something you already own and learn to love it again by giving it a new pairing or pick up something new. As always, here’s some inspiration just for you. Enjoy!

2025 Spring Color Trend: Gold

Our spring color trends continue. As a personal stylist for women, I’m deep into color trends. Metallics have always made life easier and more fun. Instead of a black or nude pair of shoes, try silver, gold or bronze, for example.

You’ll be seeing all sorts of gold throughout 2025. Whether you are up for shiny metallic gold or a more matte gold fabric, this is color that transitions nicely throughout the season. As always, do your best to stick with colors in your color palette to ensure a streamlined wardrobe that is anything but boring.

Tariffs got you down? First, remember that the tariff is on the cost of the garment, not the retail price. So, that’s something.

Consider local makers or independent folks on Etsy to mix things up and give you a one of a kind feel.

How do I Keep My Layered Necklaces from Getting Tangled?

As a personal stylist for women based in Seattle, I’m constantly experimenting with new combinations to keep things feeling fresh and curated for my clients. Personally, I’ve been deep into layering necklaces for the past year or so. A champion of mixing metals, I’ve been addicted to layering two to three necklaces at a time- one in silver the others in gold, or visa versa.

If you, like me, love layering jewelry but don’t love the incessant tangling, I’ve got great news for you. There are easy solutions to prevent tangling necklaces.

What Style Leather Jacket Should I Wear in Spring?

As a personal stylist for women based in Seattle, I know that there is a whole lot of layering going on throughout the year. Our summer doesn’t come until mid-July, but delightfully, it lasts through the end of September. This means that much of our year requires a top layer. After working with hundreds of women over the years, a common question is always about that tricky final layer. How do I make sure that my jacket elevates my outfit, communicates my authentic personal style, AND is functional for the weather? A blog post from the archives about what to wear besides a fleece jacket is a great place to start.
