Allow me to help you feel beautiful and confident through the power of personal style.
Hi friends!
I am excited to launch the first installment of The Style Guide. My goal is to provide you with an approachable fashion & styling platform where you can learn how to find and develop your own personal style, enabling you to show up each day feeling empowered, confident, and pulled together. The Style Guide will provide:
Head to toe outfit inspiration you can easily replicate
Guidance on how to dress for you body type
Outfit formulas or ‘uniforms’ for fast & easy dressing
Essential pieces to create a capsule wardrobe
Styling the newest trends for your age and body type
Up & coming brands/designers to try
And so much more!
I truly believe getting dressed is more than just putting clothes on. It is about finding, creating and cultivating your personal brand in order to show up every day with confidence. Understanding your body type and how you can use styling as a tool to achieve your personal and professional goals are powerful concepts, but often overlooked. Styling is my love language and I am very passionate about helping people achieve the best versions of themselves inside & out. Let me help you define your unique style, elevate your image and bring confidence into how you dress every day. Let’s get started!
Summer Looks for inspiration and replication!
One of the biggest challenges my clients encounter is how to style an outfit from head to toe. Often we overlook the accessories we can easily incorporate to ensure we look polished and pulled together. Simply adding a great pair of earrings, the right shoe or belt, and fabulous sunglasses instantly elevates an outfit. Let me help! Below are some of my favorite outfits for all your summer events/needs this season.

Summer Brunch Style
Whether its brunch or drunch, it’s just another reason to get dressed up and look cute! A coordinated set in a feminine but neutral print will be something you will be pulling out over and over again this summer. One of my favorite new brands is Cara Cara. They carry the perfect summer pieces in whimsical prints, feminine silhouettes, and crisp cotton poplin fabrication. The set below looks chic and elevated on its own. Pair it with vintage inspired sunnies, a woven shoulder bag & gladiator sandals and you will be channeling a modern day Audrey Hepburn in this look.
Summer Work Style
Looking chic but still staying comfortable in this heat can be daunting. Which is why I love a vest. This piece from one of my favorite new brands, Because of Alice, is a perfect way to look polished in a frigid office, but is still lightweight & breezy for that hot commute. A monochromatic palette with two tone statement earrings, and oversized sunnies keeps the vibe quietly luxe. Upgrading your leather work tote with a naturally textured piece like this one from Mango will help bring your look into summer! (Also can do double duty as a beach tote.)
Summer Travel Style
Whether you are touring ruins in Europe or shopping in a beachside resort this summer, I love packing a coordinated set. You are getting a multiple outfits in one, and if you stick to a neutral palette they are extremely versatile. One of my favorites this season is from Shona Joy; easy, lightweight linen fabrication in a cool graphic print. Slip on some Heaven Mayhem earrings and a black woven tote, and you can go from day to night!
Summer Sport Style
For all my racquet sport girlies, or frankly anyone that wants an elevated athleisure look I recommend investing in a good tennis dress. The right one is versatile, well constructed, made in a comfortable fabric, and can be dressed up or down. Obsessed with this one from Staud. Perfect for on the court or off. Anyone heading to the US Open next month? This would be my go-to outfit!
Summer Cocktails Style
There is just something about warm weather and a great pop of color. Refresh your wardrobe with one of the hottest color trends of the season - vibrant emerald green. This gorgeous linen dress from Cult Gaia is sexy and sweet, perfect for those summer evenings out in a city or beachside. You don’t need to wear heels to look dressed up anymore, adding a dressy pair of flats with hardware detail will keep your tootsies comfortable but chic!
Summer Poolside Style
Love the crispness of a black and white look. Easily go from poolside to cocktails in a super chic one piece. Adding well curated accessories like a pearl choker, statement sunglasses and linen wrap skirt instantly elevate the outfit. Perfect for beach days in Nantucket or San Tropez, this is a must this season!
