Life Is Full of Shifts — And No One Prepares You for Them
My messaging often centers style shifts — and for good reason — but style isn’t the only area of life that evolves. As we mature, we experience shifts so subtle that we don’t always recognize them until we’re already living in a new normal. These transitions quietly reshape how we think, move, and see ourselves. And whether we’re ready or not, they often change the trajectory of our lives. Recently, I’ve been navigating several shifts that have challenged me deeply. Today, I

Why You Should Stop Letting Social Media Teach You How to Dress
Social media has changed the way we discover style — but it has also changed the way many women see themselves . Every day, I work with women who are overwhelmed by aesthetics, discouraged by trends, or convinced they need a brand-new wardrobe because their favorite creator told them a “must-have” list. But here’s the truth: Social media was never meant to be your stylist. The algorithm doesn’t know your body shape, your career, your lifestyle, your values, or the season of l

A New Season, A New Story: Life Lately & What’s Been On My Heart
It’s been a minute since I’ve written a new blog post, and that’s because life has been taking me through a transition that feels…entirely different from any I’ve experienced before. In July, I was laid off from my job — something I didn’t fully expect, especially considering how well I was performing. But like so many people this year, I learned quickly that no level of experience or excellence can outrun the shifts happening in the economy. And while I’ve navigated transiti

3 Things I Wish Every Woman Knew About Personal Style
Personal style is often misunderstood. Many women think it’s about chasing trends, wearing the “right” brands, or trying to replicate what they see on social media. But the truth is, style is so much deeper than that—it’s about how you show up in the world, how you feel in your clothes, and how aligned your wardrobe is with your lifestyle and goals

Commanding the Room: Why Your Wardrobe is Part of Your Leadership Strategy
When you walk into a room, your presence speaks before you ever say a word. Long before you present your credentials, share your ideas, or introduce yourself, people have already formed an impression — and your wardrobe plays a critical role in shaping that perception.

Style & Scripture: Dressing with Strength, Dignity, and Purpose
For most people, style is simply about clothes. But for me, style is deeply personal — it’s a reflection of who you are, what you believe, and how you choose to show up in the world.
And as a woman of faith, I’ve come to see how the Bible offers powerful guidance on how we approach style, not just as an outward expression, but as an inward conviction.

How to Never Look Like What You’ve Been Through
Life has a way of testing us. Layoffs, personal setbacks, unexpected transitions, and seasons of uncertainty are part of the human experience. But here’s the truth: just because life knocks you down doesn’t mean you have to look like it.

What Happens After You Invest in a Style Savant?
For many women, investing in a personal stylist—or as I like to say, a Style Savant—feels like a big leap. Maybe you've been navigating style on your own for years, relying on Pinterest boards, YouTube hauls, or impulse shopping to figure it out. Maybe you’ve even said, “I should be able to do this myself.”

Whether you’re starting a new job, becoming a mom, entering a new season of womanhood, or simply evolving into a more self-assured version of yourself—your style should evolve too.
But if you’ve ever stood in front of your closet and said, “Nothing feels like me anymore,” you’re not alone.

Reinventing Yourself (and Your Style) During a Transition
I’ve been laid off four times in my life—and each time, it’s shaken something loose. But this last one hit different. I wasn’t expecting it. One day I had a job, and the next, I was logging into a 15-minute “touch base” only to find my HR rep sitting on the call. (Y’all already know what time it was.) But as jarring as the experience was, it reminded me of something I’ve learned over the years: Every life transition is also a style transition.
