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

Do you feel like you're wasting time getting ready in the morning, standing in front of a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear? Are you spending too much on clothes that don't excite you or feel right for you in this season of life? Is it frustrating to go shopping – in-stores or online – and not be able to easily find what you need, let alone love?   I know these struggles, too, friend. Wh...

Do your style preferences feel like a mismatch? I know mine certainly did after I became a mom. I went from having a bold and dramatic personal style to snuggling my sweet boy and wiping spit up off my shirt most days of the week. My taste preferences didn't feel like they fit in with my new lifestyle. Maybe you're in a similar season, wishing you could wear one thing but having very different dem...

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You want a versatile and cohesive wardrobe that feels like you. You're intrigued by the idea of a streamlined capsule and having less, but better quality pieces in this phase of life. You're ready to up-level and invest in items you can wear confidently season after season.   But, at the same time, you worry you'll get bored. You don't want your wardrobe to look da...

Happy Independence Day if you're listening from the USA! I pre-recorded this episode so I could spend the day at a 4th of July parade with my family in the morning and then hopefully taking a dip in our pool, because we are finally in our new home after many long months of (sometimes not so patiently) waiting! Wherever you are joining me in the world today, I hope your summer is off to a fabulous...

One of my FAVORITE romantic comedies is Crazy, Stupid, Love. It's brilliant. It's funny. It's full of unexpected surprises. I highly recommend it. And in that movie, Steve Carell, who plays the main character, describes his wife as the perfect combination of sexy and cute. It's a superficial, but incredibly sweet compliment all at the same time. And I think it's a compliment many of us would love...

Question for you… Are you struggling with your workwear? Dress codes have gotten more lax, athleisure is often allowed, and we have more options than ever before. Yet we often find ourselves defaulting to the same go-to outfit uniform or with the challenge of aligning our professional attire with our style preferences.   Our friend Narissa is dealing with this issue right now and she asked me to h...

Hey, friend! It's officially summertime! We just wrapped up a significant heat wave here in the tri-state area, so I have light and airy clothing on my mind. Depending on where you live in the world, it's very like you do, too. In fact, I've talked to several women inside HER Style community recently who are struggling with what to wear on these hot, humid summer days.   If you want to look stylis...

Are you scratching your head right now? In the previous episode of HER Style Podcast, I challenged you to be bold and gave you 8 ways to make your outfits more creative, and now, I'm telling you to tone it down. So what gives, right?   Well, I've been hearing from a number of listeners lately, including our friend Rachel who submitted today's Q&A Thursday question, that while they love elevated lo...

Whether you love having a small, minimalist wardrobe or your closet is bursting at the seams, I think something we all want is the ability to create lots of versatile looks with the pieces we already own. Last week, I talked about putting together preset outfits as a solution to get ready faster and ensure you have the perfect looks for every occasion. But what if you're feeling totally bored with...

Let me start out by saying, I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses . Aside from a brief stint in personal shopping at J.Crew many years ago, where I helped style the occasional man who wandered in looking for assistance, menswear is not my area of expertise.   So when I received a question from our friend, Ann, recently about how to style her husband, I knew I needed to enlist some outside s...

I put out a request to my VIP email community a couple of weeks ago for their help with some market research. I always want to know what you're struggling with the most and how I can best support you on your style journey. And the results of that project were pretty eye-opening.   I heard complaint after complaint that they were wasting way too much time trying to get dressed in the morning and, m...

I can't wait for you to hear today's episode! I received a question from our friend, Alyson, recently about whether going gray will impact the clothing colors that suit her. I hear variations of this question all the time, so I knew we had to address this on the podcast sooner rather than later!   Whether you're contemplating going blonde, brunette, or red, letting your natural color or grays grow...

Are you feeling confused by your personal color palette? This is a problem I hear about far too often. There are quite a few reasons this can happen, which I've already spoken about at length in episode #3 of HER Style Podcast, Why Your Color Season Doesn't Matter and What You Want To Know Instead . But it's not an issue I see going away anytime soon.   Personal color palettes are trending big tim...

Big news! HER Style Podcast has officially crossed 100,000 downloads! It kind of snuck up on me. But I wanted to take a minute to thank you for listening to the show, sharing it with your friends, and leaving a written review if it's impacted you in some way. YOU are the reason that I continue to show up every Monday and Thursday with new episodes and the hope that they will support and empower yo...

Every once in a while, I feel the nudge to zoom out a little bit and share something I'm learning or about an experience I'm going through in my personal life. 9 times out of 10, it relates back to your style or how you're showing up. And today's episode is no exception, so please don't tune out.   I realized this past week that I've been putting some unrealistic expectations on myself — in all ar...

I have a very juicy episode coming your way today! Our friend, Rachel, reached out with a question I know you've been wondering about for yourself, especially if you have an Alluring element to your personal style. Rachel wants to know how to dress sexy as a wife and mom without looking inappropriate. I have heard this struggle often from women who are out on the dating scene, new moms, and even f...

Alright, friend. You know I love spilling the tea on what to put on your shopping list for the season and how to round out your wardrobe. But today, we need to talk about what to cut out. No, I'm not talking about retiring your worn out skinny jeans or trashing any hidden gems from your high school days. I'm talking about 5 common mistakes you might be making with your wardrobe.   In today's episo...

Hey friend! We've got a good one for Q&A Thursday today. Our friend, Alyson, sent in a voice memo recently asking me to walk her through choosing the most flattering necklines. And, as always, I'm going to personalize my answer to the best of my ability so you can confidently pick your perfect tops, too!   There are at least 25 different neckline styles to choose from! So I rounded up 4 rules or g...

As an image consultant, I'm always watching out for trends. Color and style trends, yes. But even more importantly, I'm looking out for common themes, frustrations, and pain points among my clients, podcast listeners, and email community. There's been a trend happening over the past month or so that I can't brush under the rug. I've had multiple women complain to me recently that they've been stru...

Today's Q&A Thursday episode feels very special, not only because we're talking about maternity wear just days before Mother's Day, but because I received two nearly identical questions from two different podcast listeners on this topic! Our friends, Amber and Molly, both reached out to me recently to say they're both starting to try for baby #1 and wondering how to revamp their wardrobes strategi...

Oh friend, I have a treat for you today. My client, Michelle Hadley, is an incredible single mama and social media influencer who went through a season of feeling like she lost a piece of herself. Earlier this year, she reached out to me for help and it was a JOY to not only create a custom Personal Color Palette for her, but for her daughter, Evy, as well.   Michelle sent me the kindest audio tes...

Welcome back to Part II of our summer shorts series! I received 2 listener questions recently around styling shorts for summer. So I decided we'd answer them as Part I and Part II. Last week, in episode 135, we talked about dressing up your shorts for a polished look and today, we're addressing a question from our friend, Caroline, about how to choose the right inseam length to flatter your body's...

As an image consultant and style coach, I have the privilege of working with a variety of women. Some absolutely love to shop and others, not so much. No matter which camp you fall into, we all deal with the same struggles when shopping online: receiving purchases in the mail that just don't fit properly.   It can be so frustrating! How are you supposed to guarantee a good fit when you can't try s...

It's shorts season! Well, almost. But if you're anything like me and our friend, Cindy, you're already dreaming up some stylish short outfits for the months ahead. And today, I'm answering a question she sent in about how to dress up this beloved summer staple and make your shorts look a little more polished!   Join us as we tackle 8 different ways to dress up your shorts. There's bound to be at l...

It's Earth Day, friend! As someone who's all about buying less, but better, I'm an advocate for ethical fashion and sustainable shopping. But I definitely don't consider myself to be an expert. And I'll be honest, sometimes the thought of searching for more sustainable clothing and accessories feels like more trouble than it's worth. As women, we face so many pressures already. Do we really need t...
