Her Style Podcast | Shopping, Color Palettes, Fashion, Wardrobe, Outfits, Clothing

How do you know when something is actually missing from your wardrobe?

Because not owning something doesn't automatically make it a wardrobe gap. You can own zero blazers and be perfectly fine. You can also own 57 tops and still feel like you're missing something every time you get dressed.

So today, I want to help you pay attention to the signs that something really IS missing from your clo...

Knowing your best colors can make shopping so much easier. You can walk into a store, scan a rack, and have a pretty good idea of which colors are going to light you up... and which ones probably aren't worth your time.

But what happens when the co...

Welcome back to Her Style Podcast! Last week, I gave you one of my favorite questions to ask when you're considering something new, which is: Do I have a job for this in my wardrobe?

And let's say you have a great answer. You can picture exactly how you'd wear it, what you'd wear it with, and where it fits into your real life.

But before you buy it, there's one more question I want you to as...

A few weeks ago, I shared my Fall 2026 Trend episode and walked you through some of the questions I use to decide whether a trend is actually worth trying. But now that fall shopping is underway, I want to take that conversation one step further.

I'm starting to see which trends women are actually bringing home and wearing — and there are a handful that seem to be fitting into a lot of everyday wardr...

Okay, I've gotta ask… You most likely read the title, "The Outfit I Wish Every Woman Had" before clicking play on this episode. What did you picture? A great pair of jeans and a fabulous top? A little black dress? The perfect, comfy but cute lounge set? Some magical combination of wardrobe basics that truly works for everyone?

You know me better than that!

The outfit I wish you had is...

How many style rules are you following without really knowing why?

Maybe you've been told that a certain silhouette is the most flattering for your body shape, even though it doesn't feel anything like your personal style. Or you keep tucking in your shirts because that's the #1 secret to looking polished. Maybe you've passed up a handbag you loved because the hardware wasn't technically right for your co...

It's only August and I don't feel quite ready to shift full gear into fall yet. But Starbucks' pumpkin spice made its official comeback today, so I guess that's my cue to talk about all of the autumn trends and help you navigate what to wear, what to buy, and what you can confidently leave behind.

And this season, I want to do things a little differently. Because the more of these trend reports I put toge...

Is it just me or do clothes have this incredible ability to look super cute on the hanger or styled on a mannequin... and then five minutes later, you're standing in a fitting room wondering if you accidentally grabbed a completely different shirt by mistake?

What's actually happening? Why do clothes often look way better on the hanger than they do once we try them on? Is it the lighting? The styling? Our...

Do you keep buying clothes that are "fine" but never become your favorites? 

In this episode, we're talking about why settling for good enough leads to closet clutter, shopping regret, and that frustrating feeling of having nothing to wear—even when your closet is full. I'll share a shopping trip with my mom that completely changed the way I think about buying clothes and one simple question that will help you make more...

Right now inside Her Style Collective, a lot of our members are working on designing their dream closets. Some are wrapping up their ideal summer wardrobes, while others are already looking ahead to autumn. And my role throughout that entire process is to help them figure out exactly what's working, what's not, and what's actually missing (if anything).

Inside the program, we go much deeper than I could e...

When I see yet another article or YouTube video promising to teach me how to "look expensive," I can't help but roll my eyes just a little. Not because I think looking high-end is a bad goal. I actually think that's what a lot of us are after! It's just that the advice all sounds the same:

Wear monochromatic outfits. Buy a crisp, white button-down shirt. Carry a structured handbag. Stick to classic neutra...

Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to work with women who've lost anywhere from 10 pounds to over 100 pounds, and there's always an interesting dynamic at play. They initially think, "Once I lose the weight, getting dressed will be easy." But even after they hit the goal number on the scale, they find themselves in front of a closet full of clothes or a dressing room overflowing with options and sti...

Do you want to hear a little secret? It's not so much of a "secret" as it is a very surprising fact about me. Despite my undying affinity for Nordstrom, I have never actually shopped during their annual Anniversary sale. Crazy, right? Please don't take my Nordy club card away from me!

But my clients were equally shocked to learn a few weeks ago that I'm not over setting alarms, building wish lists, and re...

Recently, one of our Her Style Collective members was planning for a special birthday getaway. She had already mapped out a stunning travel capsule and our plan was to review it together during a 1:1 session, just to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, that all of the pieces she chose worked well together, and to pinpoint any unnecessary duplicates, like too many tanks or an excessive number of shoes. 

Have you ever walked through a store and thought, "Wait. Who is this actually for?" It can feel like everything is made for someone else. Someone taller. Younger. Trendier. Maybe someone with a completely different body type or lifestyle than yours.

After a while, it's easy to start believing that fashion just isn't for you anymore, or that you'll have to settle for clothes you don't really love.

One of the things I find fascinating about summer shopping is how quickly we get feedback. Unlike a winter coat or a pair of boots, most summer purchases get put to the test almost immediately. Within a few weeks, you know exactly what's working, what's sitting unworn in your closet, and what seemed like a great idea until real life got involved.

And after years of helping women build wardrobes they actua...

Hey, friend! Before we dive into today's episode, I want you to picture something.

Imagine that you're standing in your closet, holding a piece you've owned for years. Maybe it's a cardigan. Or a pair of jeans. It could be that black top you've worn a hundred times. And you're having the same conversation with yourself you've had at least ten times before.

"This is fine. It still works." But...

Have you ever tried something on and bought it just because it fit? Maybe part of you knew the color wasn't quite right or it wasn't the exact thing you were hoping to find. But you couldn't bring yourself to keep up the search? Or you genuinely didn't have time to keep looking?

Often, those are the pieces that end up sitting in your closet for months because even though it technically fit your figure, it...

Just like in the grand scheme of life, our style journeys tend to take us on a winding road where our focus can shift greatly from one season to the next. One minute, all that matters is cramming for your finals and securing that summer internship. Then you blink and you're planning for your wedding day or to deliver your first baby. Maybe you're getting established in your career or transitioning into retirement. Our ...
