This week I’m answering some of your questions and providing styling tips on color, body types and fabrics. I love reading your questions and comments, but I don’t always have time to deep dive into answers. This format will be a great way to offer advice and insight for those wanting a little bit more.

A few things we cover in the video:

* Proportion Dressing Basics: Understanding body proportions as a styling tool

* Body Shapes and Balance: Hourglass, pear, inverted triangle, apple, rectangle

* Wearing Color Confidently: Why color can feel clownish (visual tension)

* Easy Color Strategies: Analogous colors, lowering saturation, tonal dressing

* Styling Silk Pants: Pairing fabrics with contrast and texture

If you watched the video above and are interested in taking the proportions quiz, you can do so here.

Ditch the Default 30 Day Style Challenge

Many of you have been asking me for help developing your personal style, so I’m excited to announce that I’ll be launching a style challenge at the beginning of September.

Developing your personal style takes practice, trial and error, and discovering the combinations of colors, fabrics, and silhouettes that you naturally gravitate toward. But we can only discover that if we’re willing to ditch the default.

When you join the challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to practice putting together outfits for 30 days, following weekly themes and lessons.

You’ll also be part of a group with direct access to me through a group chat, ongoing Q&As, and live sessions. My goal is to help you discover the style that gives you your own unique edge, and walk away with the tools and confidence to get dressed in a way that feels like you.

Comment STYLE if you’re interested in signing up for the challenge, and I’ll make sure to follow up with all the details as soon as they’re ready.

What’s Been Catching My Eye (In No Particular Order)

* Kits blue light glasses. By now you probably all know my obsession with sunglasses, well I love glasses too! I’m also on my phone and computer all the time… I have been proactive about wearing blue light glasses to protect my eyes. Kit has cute and functional styles. You can also make them prescription as well.

* Left On Friday swim suits. They’re having a 30% off sale and it ends tonight. Their suits provide great coverage and lift and come in super fun mix and match colors. I got a red top and purple bottoms.

* These Cakes Body nipple covers. They are the Grippy cakes, so they grip but are not sticky. They’re perfect under swim, sports bras, or any tight tops with shelf bras where you want just a little extra coverage. I also have been wanting to try their newest product Cakes Lift. Its a nipple cover that also lifts, a 2-in-1 how genius! Use code CAKESQ3THECOLORIST for 21% off.

Instagram Highlights

And be sure to catch up on all the reels and fun that has been happening on my instagram.

A big theme of the week on instagram was a continuation of fall trends and mentally preparing for that transition. I know its still too hot out to wear anything remotely layered, hello 114 degrees today in Arizona, but its never too early to start thinking and planning your fall wardrobe. Am I right?

Plus I think fall and winter fashion is so fun and can be much more creative with all the layering and accessories. I’m also working a few newer series like a GRWM format while I share my fashion opinions and advice as well as continuing my Ditch the Default carousels.

My favorite posts from the week below:

As always, I’m so happy you’re here!

This week, we’re exploring getting dressed as a ritual of becoming, the line between a uniform and a costume, and how what we wear each day can shape who we become.

What’s Been Catching My Eye (In No Particular Order)

* NOYZ Only Human Mylk de Parfum is my latest scent obsession. It has the consistency of a lightweight serum or lotion but wears like a long-lasting perfume. Plus, the vanilla scent layers beautifully with my other fragrances, and a little goes a long way.

* This Maison de Sabré bag might be my new favorite…even over the green one you’ve seen all over my Instagram. I love the top handle, contrasting blue trim, and fall-ready colorway. It also has a zippered divider, card slots, magnetic closure, and removable crossbody strap.

* These FRĒDA SALVADOR Jada flats are about to become my entire personality. They’re the same square-toe style as my blue suede pair, but the zebra haircalf makes them perfect for one of fall’s biggest trends I’ve been talking about. I’m obsessed so prepare to see them on repeat.

This week, we’re exploring the rise of AI and algorithms and the cultural rebellion taking shape in response. Across different corners of culture, several themes reveal a growing desire for what feels human, tangible, and real.

What’s Been Catching My Eye (In No Particular Order)

* I bought my husband these Le Specs sunglasses for his birthday. Equally impressed by quality and price.

* These Nisolo Hurraches are so comfortable and come in so many amazing colors. You can use code COLORIST for $25 off $125.

* These boots were my Nordstrom Sale splurge and I can’t wait to wear them. The footbed is a little narrow and some reviews said size up half a size if you feel inbtween sizes. I took my usual size though.

I’m keeping with this short form video content, I think it makes it more personal and engaging, like we’re having drinks together. This week, instead of a pure play-by-play recap, I wanted to focus on an overall theme I’ve been noticing show up throughout culture. A thread that’s been present in all the big moments this week. I feel like it’s something that’s been building for a while now, and this summer it finally exploded. Be sure to watch and let me know your thoughts. Cheers!

Welcome

This is an intro video, if you will, to the foundation and ideas we’ll be exploring throughout this series.

There is so much to say, so much nuance, that longer-form video feels like the right format to consolidate it all and share it in a way that feels more complete.

I’ll also be creating assignments and prompts along the way, so you can work through the ideas at your own pace and apply them to your own closet, body, lifestyle, and sense of self.
