These boots fooled me

A two-tone statement boot will always read expensive but this save option is really doing the work. Same drama. Same silhouette. Same striped leather moment without the $2400 commitment. If you’ve been eyeing the trend but hesitating on the splurge, this is the pair that gives you the look and keeps your wallet intact.

Style tip
Let the boot be the moment and keep the rest of the outfit grounded. A simple coat or a clean knit lets the stripes stand out and keeps the look elevated.

Indoor frames are nonnegotiable.
These shield sunglasses are my new favorites. They make the perfect indoor frame. Oversized but translucent enough to still see the eyes, they strike that balance between presence and approachability. It’s a subtle flex. Eye contact, without the commitment. Also ideal for those no-makeup days when you still want to look intentional and pulled together.

I get all my glasses in person from Style Eyes Optical in Brooklyn, but I’ve linked similar indoor-frame styles below for anyone shopping online.

Style tip
For indoor frames, look for lightly tinted lenses and strong structure so they feel intentional, not costume.

Winter dressing, handled.

This is my cold weather uniform when I want polish without trying. A plush shearling coat over structured denim gives that quiet luxury feel while still being wearable for real life. Finished with a rich brown bag to keep it grounded and timeless.

Style tip
Double denim works best when the outer layer adds texture. Think shearling, wool, or faux fur to soften the look and elevate it instantly.

The statement your outfit needed.

Pony hair bags are having a moment and honestly it’s overdue. The mix of print, sheen, and plush texture gives even the simplest outfit an instant lift. From cowhide patterns to bold solids, this trend reads modern, luxe, and unmistakably stylish. If you’ve been wanting a statement piece that doesn’t overpower the look but still shows you know what’s happening in fashion right now, this is it.

Style tip: Treat pony hair as a neutral. Pair it with tailored coats, denim days, or minimal monochrome so the texture becomes the quiet standout of the outfit.

Gold tips. Zero restraint required.

A real suede moment that looks luxe and walks with intention. These knee-high stunners have the softest texture, the cleanest silhouette, and that gold-capped toe that turns a simple outfit into a flex. And they’re marked down forty percent, which feels like the universe giving a subtle nod to treat yourself today.

Style tip: These pair beautifully with denim or dresses, giving you an elevated casual look that still feels effortless. The heel makes them an easy all-day walkable option without losing any of the polish.

A dress with main-character energy.
There’s a quiet power in a column-style leather maxi. The clean lines do the sculpting, the length delivers the drama, and the finish adds just enough edge to keep it modern. It’s an easy way to look polished and intentional without doing too much, and it moves beautifully from dinner to drinks to wherever the night goes.

Style tip
Let the silhouette shine. Simple heels and understated jewelry keep the look elevated.

Some products come and go, but the Crème of Nature staples stay undefeated. The Anti-Humidity Gloss & Shine Mist, the Extra-Firm Hold Gel, and the Heat Protector Smooth & Shine Polisher are the day-one essentials behind unstoppable hair. Reliable, legendary, and always exactly what my strands need.

Style tip: Build your routine around products that have proven themselves over the years, not just the moment.

Stop. This look deserved its own spotlight.
I wore this burgundy leather short set to The Boy Is Mine tour, proving that a power suit can be whatever you choose to make it. The queens of R&B asked everyone to show up in a power suit and for me that didn’t mean a traditional blazer. Power lives in pieces that make you feel strong and for me it was this coordinating burgundy leather set with thigh high boots. It’s the kind of look that steps into a room already knowing the vibe.

Style tip
Suiting is strongest when it reflects you. Build the look around the piece that makes you feel powerful and let everything else rise to meet it.

This bag steals everything

OMG I am so in love with this fur bag. I’ve never seen anything like it. The oversized shape, the plush faux fur, the way it wraps around you like a wearable accessory moment. It’s giving drama, texture, and that cool-girl winter energy in one piece. This is the kind of statement bag that makes a simple outfit look styled and turns a basic coat into a full look.

Style tip
Keep the outfit clean and let the texture lead. Simple knits or sharp tailoring make the bag feel even more intentional and elevated.

These pants change everything

Wide leg leather pants are one of those pieces that instantly shift an outfit from simple to intentional. This pair moves beautifully, has that relaxed trouser shape, and works with everything. You can dress them up with a sharp blouse or dress them down with a knit or tee and they still feel elevated. They’re the kind of faux leather trousers that turn even a casual look into something polished.

Style tip
Balance the volume with a fitted top or structured layer so the wide leg keeps its shape and the outfit looks clean and effortless.

Time to pony up

Is anyone else obsessed with this pony hair trend happening right now. It’s having a serious moment and this edit shows why. A pony hair bag or pony hair purse is one of the easiest ways to bring something fresh into a style. Start small with one like the options here which come in solid colors, bold prints, and classic palettes. This texture delivers polish, dimension, and a quiet luxury statement without committing to the whole horse and pony show.

Style tip
This is one of the easiest and most effortless ways to elevate and refresh a look. Throw a pony hair bag on with denim on denim or an all black fit for instant style elevation.

Your new power look waits

This Saint Laurent moment has been living rent free in my mind and today’s outfit pulls from that same silhouette. The sharp white blouse, the clean leather skirt, the polished structure. It’s luxe, sculptural, and surprisingly easy to recreate without the runway price tag. If you’ve ever wanted that quiet power look, this combination gives you every bit of the attitude in a way that fits real life.

Style tip
Pair an oversized blouse with a sleek midi skirt to balance volume and shape. It keeps the outfit modern and turns a simple palette into something statement worthy.

Holiday glam starts here

The H&M Studio Holiday collection drops November 18 and it’s giving rich textures, sculptural silhouettes, and that dramatic black-on-black elegance we wait for all season. The lace gown, the ruched leather boots, the bow-front blouse, the structured coat, the velvet details. Every piece has that elevated Studio feel that reads designer without the designer price. If your closet needs standout holiday looks that feel cinematic and intentional, this drop is the one to tap into.

Style tip
Lean into depth this season. Lace, velvet, and voluminous shapes add quiet drama and make even an all-black outfit feel layered and luxe.

The bow trend wins

Big sculptural bows ruled the Saint Laurent runway this season and the look is already everywhere. The good news is you don’t have to spend runway prices to tap into the drama. This blouse gives you that same oversized bow energy, that same sculpted neckline, that same high-impact silhouette with a softer price tag. If you’ve been eyeing the trend, this is the perfect way to step in without the splurge.

Style tip
Let the bow do the talking. Keep your bottoms sleek and your hair pulled back so the shape and structure stay front and center.

This look was anything but basic
I love how this look came together for a night out of fun and music. The corset top set the tone, and the chaps-style jeans added that little unexpected moment that makes people look twice. I finished the look with these snakeskin boots to keep things interesting, and the distressed leather jacket I grabbed on my way out added just the right amount of attitude. Shield sunnies were the final touch because they matched the mood of the night perfectly.

Style tip
A good corset goes the distance. This one works for chic nights, casual moments, and now concert energy without ever feeling out of place.

Did I just find the perfect Thanksgiving living-room fit?

Metallic jeans that fit like real denim, a strong-shoulder sequin tee that looks elevated without any effort, and yes… I wore it with fur slippers. The plush kind with the little sparkle across the top. It’s the easiest holiday outfit formula when you want to look luxe, polished, and intentional without giving up comfort. Shine on top, wearable texture on the bottom, and a festive look you’ll actually enjoy wearing.

Style tip: Pull the look together with accessories that carry the same metallic tone as the sequins. In this case, silver details echo the shine in both the top and the jeans so the whole look feels cohesive, elevated, and intentionally festive.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHoliday #LTKootd

Wait until you see what I’m wearing around the house.

These aren’t just slippers. They’re a whole mood. Fluffy, dramatic, and sprinkled with just enough sparkle to make even your living room feel like a runway. The kind of glam that feels playful but still grown.

Style tip
Luxury starts at home. Slip into silk pajamas, soft knits, or a touch of faux fur and watch how the whole day shifts. Treating yourself to beautiful house clothes is a quiet reminder that you deserve softness even in the smallest moments.

Tell me why this feels like Studio 54 met street style.
This sequin shoulder-pad top and shimmer jean combo is that perfect balance — disco energy with downtown ease. You can dress it up for a night out or tone it down with sneakers and still look intentional.

Style tip: Mix textures to keep the look modern — matte accessories or a structured bag ground the shine while letting the sparkle stay center stage.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder100

What is that velvet? Why yes, yes it is. This velvet suit in the color of the season is giving soft power in full effect. This suit walks the line between cozy and commanding, perfect for the holiday season when you want to look rich without trying too hard.

Style tip: Contrast the plush texture with something sleek — a satin cami, patent pump, or a sharp clutch keeps the look elevated without losing that soft-edge appeal.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHoliday #LTKWorkwear

Plaid, but make it the main character.
This plaid jacket — or is it a houndstooth jacket? Either way, it proves you can take a look from mundane to main character. Like this sequin jacket, who knew the print could stand out this way?

Style tip: When you’re wearing something that shines, keep the rest grounded. Leather, denim, or tailored trousers help anchor the look.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKHoliday #LTKFindsUnder100

Is it The Row? Or is it Zara?
When Zara does leather, you stop and stare. This bag feels different — the quality, the structure, the weight. It’s sleek, minimal, and looks way more expensive than it is — one of those rare finds you’ll reach for constantly.

Style tip: Treat quality leather and suede from brands like Zara the same way you would designer pieces — style them simply, let the texture speak, and no one will know the difference.

Tell HR I said hi.

A structured shirt and leather skirt combo that feels boardroom-ready but fashion-forward. It’s giving confidence without the corporate, edge without trying too hard. Effortless, cool, and a little unexpected — exactly how I like it.

Style tip:
Pair sharp tailoring with softer textures (like leather or satin) to keep “officecore” from feeling too literal.

Denim just filed for a promotion.

I love a good monochrome moment, especially when it’s denim with structure. The jacket pulls everything together while the wide-leg pants keep it relaxed but polished. Effortless, confident, and just elevated enough to read like intention — not effort.

Style tip:
Go monochrome with texture and shape. When your denim has structure, you can keep everything else minimal and still make impact.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKActive

Coach for less.
Same vintage silhouette, same luxe feel—just not the same price tag. Everyone’s losing it over the Coach Kisslock, but this version nails the look for less. First came black and burgundy, now the suede drop is the one to beat.

Style tip: Pair with camel coats or denim-on-denim for an easy luxe moment.

Who said slip dresses were only for summer?

A silk slip dress for ease, a tailored blazer for structure, western-style boots for attitude, and a suede bag to tie it all together. Fall texture, done right.

Style tip: Layer a blazer or trench over a slip dress to stretch it through the colder months—just swap sandals for statement boots.

This Cape coat is my new personality. Everything else is just a supporting cast.

Utility, but make it luxury. The structured faux leather top and matching trench add just the right amount of polish to balance the oversized cargo pants, while the statement clutch softens it all with a hit of femininity. It’s modern, unexpected, and still practical — proof that statement style can be wearable.

Style tip: When mixing proportions, anchor the look with one tailored element — it keeps the outfit sharp without losing its edge.

Leopard isn’t loud—it’s legendary.
Proof that you don’t need a new outfit, just a power coat. I threw this over simple basics and suddenly it’s giving “main character in motion.” The kind of look that turns an ordinary street into a runway moment.

Style tip:
Balance bold prints with clean lines underneath so the statement piece stands out without overpowering you.

You call it leather. I call it armor.
This jacket is the definition of versatile power — strong enough to hold its own with matching pants, but structured enough to bring a feminine edge to tailored trousers. It shapes the body, sharpens the fit, and softens the attitude all at once. Proof that strength and style can coexist beautifully.

Style tip: Leather instantly elevates even the most casual outfit. Pair it with polished pieces to balance the edge and let the texture do the talking.

The kind of plaid that means business. Plaid might be trending, but this one’s giving boss. The sheer movement keeps it feminine, while the denim shirt (with that hidden tie and strong shoulder) leans right into the suiting moment of the season. Finished it with my burgundy bomber — because even soft looks deserve structure.

Style tip: Mix fluid fabrics with tailored tops to master the suiting trend without losing ease.
