Valentine’s Day often highlights romantic love, but self love deserves just as much attention. Self love is not a backup plan for when relationships fail. It is a foundation. It should be present when life feels uncertain and also when love is flowing beautifully in your life.

Caring for yourself is not a reaction to disappointment. It is a lifestyle that supports your confidence, peace, and identity in every season.

Here are three meaningful ways to practice self love this Valentine’s season, plus simple ways to implement them in your real life.

There aren’t many clear guides on what to wear to the opera, and I’ve noticed this question comes up often — especially for first‑timers. While many opera houses will say, “wear what you’re comfortable in,” the truth is this: the opera is one of the few remaining spaces where dressing up is part of the experience.

Before we go any further, I want to pause and say thank you.
Thank you for being here. For reading. For engaging. For walking alongside me through a year that required honesty, stretching, refinement, and trust.

This space has become more than a style blog or business update. It’s become a place where I get to tell the truth — about growth, about transitions, about identity, and about what it really looks like to evolve while staying rooted in purpose.

2025 was not about doing more.
It was about doing what aligns.

And that shift changed everything.

Too often we head into the Holiday Season unaware of how we intend to show up. Not any longer as of this year it all comes to an end. No more sitting around to the last minute preparing to shop. I’m here to provide you with a simple guide of everything you need in your closet this season.

The holiday season has its own rhythm — a mix of family moments, festive celebrations, work events, travel, and everything in between. And if you’re anything like me, you want to move through all of it feeling polished, prepared, and confidently yourself.

As the air chills and shadows lengthen, our wardrobes face a transition. With rising trends and fleeting styles, it’s tempting to buy everything. But a capsule wardrobe is the opposite of that impulse—it’s about selecting fewer, better, more versatile pieces that reflect you.

Spring has a way of nudging us to reset. The weather shifts, we start thinking about lighter layers, brunch outfits, weddings, travel… and suddenly that heavy winter wardrobe (plus all the clothes you haven't worn in a year) starts to feel like a weight—literally and emotionally.

So let’s talk about decluttering. Not the Pinterest-perfect, perfectly-folded Marie Kondo fantasy (unless that’s your thing—no judgment), but a real-life, no-pressure, let’s-get-it-done method that leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and actually excited to get dressed again.

When we think of romance, we often associate it with relationships, grand gestures, and fairy-tale love stories. But what if I told you that romance isn’t just something you experience with another person—it’s something you can cultivate within yourself? 

Romancing yourself is about embracing the beauty of life, treating yourself with care, and making everyday moments feel special. It’s about loving yourself in a way that makes you feel valued, cherished, and deeply fulfilled. 

Lately, I’ve found myself being invited to speak at some incredible events, sharing one of my greatest passions—fashion. While speaking engagements are not entirely new to me, having previously spoken at Validation Through Style, I still feel a thrill of excitement each time I’m asked to join an event. Meeting the audience, connecting with them, and sharing my love for style never gets old. It’s such an honor to be able to merge my expertise with inspiring others to embrace their unique fashion sense.

As we embrace the upcoming fall season, fashion enthusiasts are turning to the Pantone® Fashion Color Trend Report for Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, which offers a glimpse into the color palette that will dominate runways and wardrobes. This year’s report, introduced at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), balances the timeless with the innovative, featuring vibrant hues alongside classic tones that emphasize seasonless fashion.

Cost Per Wear (CPW) is an essential concept in fashion and personal finance, helping you make informed decisions about your wardrobe investments. By understanding and calculating CPW, you can ensure that every piece of clothing you buy is a valuable addition to your collection, offering maximum use and satisfaction over time.

Summer is just around the corner, and it's time to dive into the exciting world of swimwear!

Life is a series of transformations. From our teenage years to adulthood, our personalities, values, and aspirations undergo significant changes. Our style should adapt to these changes, reflecting our growth and maturity. The clothes we wore in high school might not resonate with who we are today, and that's perfectly fine. Our wardrobe is a testament to our journey, each piece telling a story of a different phase of our life.
