Only photo from an amazing evening with Samantha Brown Style! Cannot believe it’s been over a decade of friendship!

It’s crazy to think we met because of Stacy London. I appreciate our friendship and it’s so cool to see how much we have grown personally and professionally over the years!

Great article! It’s so true that you should buy and wear what makes you happy. Don’t hold on to clothes that don’t fit your lifestyle or needs: Your clothes need to evolve to fit your evolution!!

Is it possible that a sense of style is one more thing we lost during the pandemic? Here’s why dressing to be seen in public seems so much harder now.

Need some inspiration on what to wear for your next zoom meeting? Check out the article below! So thankful to Emilie Heathe for including me.

All those beautiful clothes you bought towards the end of 2019 and in early 2020 have probably spent the majority of their lifetime in your closet. No one prepared for a global pandemic, nor the isolation and greatly extended couch surfing time that came along with it. While the shift in lifestyle h...

I am truly blessed and humbled to work with so many great small businesses and entrepreneurs. As this year has truly changed the way that my styling business is done, I am so grateful for the support that I have received.

I value and appreciate all of the hard work that each person puts into their business. The amount of dedication that is needed to run your own business, is truly remarkable.

I have always supported small businesses and shopping locally but this holiday season it’s a must. If you are looking for a special gift for yourself, friend, loved one or someone that is a support, let me know. I would love to help you find something perfect that will also help others locally stay in business.

And a huge congrats to Space519 for celebrating their 10th Anniversary this month. If you haven’t been, it’s a must shop! But more importantly the team at Space 519 truly cares about the community they are serving and the people they work with.

Can’t believe this photo shoot was 8 years ago this week...
A lot has changed (like me not wearing heels for months this year haha) but what has not and will not change is my complete gratitude to work for Stacy London and the Style for Hire team, the amazing experiences I was apart of and learned from, and the wonderful friendships built during these times.
