Take it from a mom of 2 VERY picky and fashionista teenage girls! These picks are curated from both my high school and college daughter's wish lists. This list will NOT disappoint!
Every slingback I ever owned either slipped off my heel mid-stride or left angry red welts after an hour. I spent two years buying and returning until I found pairs that genuinely fit without padding hacks or bandaids. If you've got a wedding, a work event, or just want to wear heels without limping to your car, grab these before you waste another $40 on shoes that betray you.
Qualifications: 5 years at a commercial real estate agency in Washington, DC and (almost!!) 1 working in marketing/business development for a firm in San Francisco. Not an ounce of office siren to be found bc that is INSANE respectfully.
Headed to Disney and want to look cute without sacrificing comfort? This list is packed with stylish, mom-approved outfit options that actually work for long park days.

Family photos are so hard to shop for! Making things cohesive without too matchy and will actually photograph well… heres my list that ive used (or am about to use!)
These are things I either constantly keep in my purse, my work bag or things that are on my wish list. I feel like these are all necessities that I use or look for when I’m out and about and if they aren’t in my purse, oh no.
A quick peek into my closet: stylish staples, go-to pieces, and must-haves I love. From everyday basics to standout finds. Ready to refresh your wardrobe?
Switching bags used to mean dumping everything on the bed and playing a 15-minute scavenger hunt for my lipstick. If you own more than three purses and rotate them based on outfit or mood, this lineup finally killed the chaos. Took me a solid year of buying the wrong inserts before landing on what actually works.
I’ve been wearing Levi’s Women’s Jeans since I was in college, and they’ve never let me down. They fit perfectly, hugging all the right places while still giving me room to move, making them comfortable enough for all-day wear.

I put together a genuine recommendation list of cute and affordable winter clothes for this season because I know you want to look cute, but winter clothes can be so expensive, I get it🥹!!!!
So I made a list of pieces that are all £45 or under, so you can stay warm, stylish, and trendy without spending a lot of money 💫These pieces are comfortable, practical, and still look super cute for uni days, coffee runs, or winter nights out 🤩💌
I made sure every item is affordable and easy to style so you can create trendy winter looks without going over £45 🥶❄️🤍
You want to be warm on the couch without looking like a deflated mascot. Every onesie is either too bulky, too childish, or falls apart after two washes. This list is for anyone who runs cold at home but still wants to answer the door without shame. Took me way too many returns to land on these, so save yourself the trouble.
March spring trends spotlight fresh home décor, colorful fashion, and glow-forward beauty essentials. Think bold patterns, pastel accents, citrus hues, and modern floral prints across throw pillows, statement vases, flowy dresses, oversized blazers, and matching sets. Beauty leans into dewy skin, glossy lips, soft glam makeup, and fresh floral fragrances. These spring must-haves deliver pops of color, vibrant style, and effortless aesthetic for the new season.
Gothic doesn't have to mean costume. This all-black fall outfit is moody, elegant, and genuinely warm: a velvet mock-neck turtleneck tucked into wide-leg dress pants, slouchy platform ankle boots, and an oversized wool-blend coat that pulls it all together. A vegan leather bucket bag and a delicate crescent moon pendant add just enough edge. It's the look for Halloween-season dinners, candlelit bars, and every cold night through winter.

I pulled together my favorite styles that are chic, flattering, and versatile enough to dress up with heels or down with sneakers.

If you've watched him sit on that bulging back pocket wallet for years, wincing every time he gets in the car, this is the list. I spent way too long researching slim wallets, money clip wallets, and front pocket options before landing on ones that actually hold enough without the bulk. Perfect for the guy who refuses to carry a bag but still needs his cards, cash, and ID. Grab one before Father's Day or his birthday sneaks up on you again.
I wanted a classic fall set, so I picked up the Coach Brooklyn 28 bag and the Slim Essentials card case in the maple color. The warm leather is perfect for everyday outfits, and together they make a timeless combo of style + practicality. I'm also linking a couple of other bags that caught my eye from Coach!
Thoughts about outfit repeating? I have always been an avid believer in quality over quantity. Here is a collection of timeless pieces that are light, breathable and stylish, and can be worn multiple ways.
A whole list of cute platform sneakers, boots, heels, and more! I love a good platform shoe because they can completely change an outfit and make even something simple feel way more fun. I rounded up a mix of styles for different seasons, outfits, and aesthetics, from everyday platforms you can wear casually to chunkier boots and statement heels for when you want something
These are some of the coolest Asics that I am wearing, have worn, or would recommend! Been wearing this brand since the late ‘00s. I always end up with at least one pair of these classics in my shoe rotations. I went ahead and picked out all the best colors.
My feet were freezing the second I stepped onto the porch to grab the mail. I tried thick socks, I tried those cheap foam slides, and I even doubled up on both. Nothing worked until I went down a rabbit hole of faux fur lined slippers and tested way too many pairs. This list is for anyone whose toes go numb between the front door and the mailbox. Grab a pair before the first frost catches you barefoot again.

My edit of the best Christmas jumpers and cardigans for women over 40, plus family matching and jumpers for our furry friends!

Fall is my favorite season by FAR - and I know I’m not the only one. 🍂
It’s not quite cool enough to feel like fall where I live yet, but I still put together a list of my fall favorites to get in the autumn mood. And best believe I’m wearing sweatpants & a cute layered outfit! I’m just definitely also going to be sweating. 😅
Officially transferred into the big girl stage last autumn - so long college - and it has been different. And hard. And nerve wracking. I was the first person in my family to go to college; to apply for financial aid, register for classes (suckssss at UW Seattle), be in lecture halls that fit more than 500 people. Everything was different and hard is the point I'm trying to make but transitioning to the corporate/big girl job has been 100x worse (LOL). A lot of trial and error especially in wardrobe so hopefully this helps others especially individuals like me who have nothing to compare to personally.
I basically live outside from May to October. Flip flops, slides, strappy ones. these are the pairs I grab without thinking every time I walk out the back door.
You don't have to spend major $$ on cute clothes. I am all about finding cute pieces that make you feel good, and look good especially as a stay at home mom.
I rarely send anything back from StitchFix; they really know how to style me and meet my requests! Everything they have is so high-quality and on trend. These are a few of my favorite items for work that I’ve purchased over the years and still wear all the time!

Your sister just cleaned out her closet and handed you a bag full of her favorite worn-in pieces and little treasures. It’s a mix of nostalgic, effortlessly cool, and perfectly personal.
My sister-in-law always looks polished, and it isn't because she spends a fortune. Her secret is accessories: one statement piece, a few supporting ones, and nothing fighting for attention. This is the five-piece formula I borrowed from her, starting with an elevated base and finishing with jewelry that does the talking. I pulled options at every price point so you can build it splurge or budget. For the full accessory formula and more style guides, visit Jersey Girl Glam. (jerseygirlglam.com)

After buying many handbags, I've realized that less is more; finding versatile bags that match different outfits and work for various occasions. These are my current favorite handbags because of their versatility and style.
I love sneakers and created this list to share some that I own and others that I covet. My favorite types are those that are fashionable rather than workout/cross trainers. Plus, I am soooo over Adidas and won't be sharing any of those unless it's something really special.

Girls it took me SO LONG to find my style. So many years feeling weird in my body and clothes, never really knowing what would work for me and what wouldn't. Now I am absolutely in love with my closet and find it so fun to mix and match. This is a running list of some of my all-time and more recent purchases and favorites (and a few wish-list items as well)!
These are items that aren’t trying to be pretty… they're oversized, loud, offbeat, or just plain weird. They break the rules of what’s ‘flattering,’ but that’s what makes them stand out. They’ve got character, they spark conversation, and honestly… they’re kind of iconic in their own awkward way.to join Benable: P7RNR
