Me again.  Here to dramatically change your life – this time via mascara!  Tubing mascara is a true game changer, especially for those who have sensitive eyes, seasonal allergies, live in the city that never sleeps, or never get enough sleep.  I tick all those boxes and as a result am prone to dark circles, which traditional mascara can make worse with flakes and smudges.  Unlike traditional oil-based mascaras – tubing mascara is silicone based and creates tiny polymer sleeves around each individual lash to create longer, more defined lashes without smudging or smeari ..read more

Shoulder Season Transitional weather pieces — It’s officially spring, but the chill of winter is still lingering.  The best way to transition your wardrobe between seasons is to look for weather-appropriate silhouettes in colors that are fit for the upcoming season.  Think about adding more lighter and brighter colors in thicker or heavier fabrics.

I grab a button-up at least twice a week when getting dressed.  Putting on a beautiful, crisp cotton shirt to transition between seasons is a simple joy in a well-curated wardrobe. Sculptor turned clothing designer, Erin Connelly and her creative entrepreneur husband, Brooks Reitz, created a line of menswear-inspired women’s shirts called E.M. Reitz.  They are confident classics and as practical as they are luxurious.  Their tight range of solid colors and stripes actually offer a lot of freedom when styling and make great additions to your wardrobe, especially in the spring ..read more

I came across this exceptional company when I was in New Hampshire and bought a few products as gifts.  Farm + Sea is a family-owned business based out of Massachusetts that specializes in bath-and-body care and home fragrance products.  Everything they do is handmade in small batches using quality ingredients and carefully chosen, seasonal scents.  Their mission very much aligns with my shopping ethos too: provide quality, thoughtful products that enhance your life. Inspired by the utilitarian beauty of farms and the transformative power of the sea in her New England upbr ..read more

Cardigans.  They’re comfortable, warm, less formal than a jacket, but can often be more distinguished on occasion (Google “Logan Roy + cardigan”), and are essential for advanced layering and styling.  V-neck cardigans are the most versatile of all styles because they don’t disturb the neckline of whatever you pair it with and can show off a necklace or scarf, should you wear.  In addition to their obvious use of saving freezing women everywhere, ladies can wear one buttoned alone as a top, tucked or belted.  For men, the shawl-collar cardigan above is a grea ..read more

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare is a cult favorite for many reasons.  Among his best sellers is my newfound love, the FDA-cleared, LED light-therapy full-face mask: DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro ($455).  It’s three treatments in one, hands-free, and cordless – designed to combat aging and acne.  And it’s not just me – Allure Magazine awarded it a Best of Beauty Winner this year and Elle Magazine awarded it the Best Overall LED Face Mask for 2023. Since our skin cells absorb light energy similar to the way plants do, the mask features 100 red (anti-aging) LED lights to s ..read more

When I first arrived in the Big Apple – the famous among some circles, esthetician Joanna Vargas invited me for a facial.  I was completely floored and felt extremely fancy and very special going to her Madison Avenue spa.  Vargas is known for treating Julianna Moore, Sofia Coppala, Jake Gyllenhaal, and other frequents of the red carpet.  The facial was wonderful; I highly recommend her technique!  But one of the products that was recommended to me when I left was Biologique Recherché Lotion P50W (5.1 fl oz, $70) and I’ve been using it since.  Lotion P50W is a ge ..read more

There are a few items that, even for a wardrobe stylist, seem elusive.  Great, versatile blazers for women are consistently one of these items.  Men always have a plethora of Sport Coat & Blazer (yes, they are different) options, but ladies just have a few every year.  This Fall, however, there are a bunch of beautiful choices.  Below are a few of the standouts and there are even more on my Shop page. FOR WOMEN (left to right)  Polo Ralph Lauren Herringbone Blazer  ($698) | Rag & Bone Tessa One-Button Blazer ($595) | A.L ..read more

I believe Larry David said, “packing is the worst part of going anywhere.” I couldn’t agree more. You must think through anticipatory weather in sometimes unknown destinations/terrain, size and weight restrictions, and the always evolving travel regulations. It’s a reason people enjoy returning to the same place again and again – removing a few variables makes a big difference. It’s also one of the reasons I like road trips so much – you get to leave whenever you want and bring anything you want. You can even bring a blender, which I have. With all the travel I do and all the packing I d ..read more
