Chic, wearable, and confidence-boosting gifts for every woman on your list.


The holidays are officially here. If you're anything like me, you want your gifts to feel thoughtful, elegant and most importantly, stylish.


Whether you're shopping for a sister, a best friend, a favorite coworker, or treating yourself (because yes, you deserve it), I’ve curated an easy and elegant list of what women actually want: luxe textures, polished accessories and everyday items that look and feel elevated.


This year’s guide mixes splurge-worthy cashmere with lower-priced gems that still deliver that effortlessly chic vibe. What’s more, I’ve made your holiday shopping as simple as possible: clicking each image in this post will conveniently take you straight to the website where you can snag these thoughtful gifts—talk about stress-free shopping!


1. Cashmere Scarf or Travel Wrap

Nothing says “I adore you” like cashmere: it's timeless, elegant, and the kind of thing women rarely buy for themselves.



Style Tip: A large, luxurious wrap works on flights, in the office, or styled over a winter coat. Choose a neutral (camel, charcoal or navy) and it becomes a year-round go-to for a sophisticated, modern finish to any look.


2. Slim Leather Belt (Real or Vegan)

A belt feels luxurious and chic—perfect for friends, sisters, and those stylish women who appreciate beautiful details.




Style Tip: Instant polish for dresses, trousers, and denim.


3. Elegant Shoulder Bag

A hobo-style bag has an elevated shape and ample storage for daily essentials. It is a versatile choice that can be dressed up or down.


Style Tip: Choose a suede bag in brown or cognac for something that's timeless yet perfectly on trend this season!



4. Festive Earrings

The perfect finishing touch for any holiday outfit! A small gift with a big impact.



Style Tip: Choose earrings that are an instant conversation starter!



5. Cozy Slippers

A pair of cozy slippers is the ultimate fail-safe gift that aligns style with comfort!



Style Tip:  Nothing says cozy-chic quite like a fashionable pair of slippers (those who walk around all day in shoes that pinch their toes will especially love you!)


  1. Cocktail &/Or Mocktail Mixers

    Holiday style is all about creating an atmosphere and cocktail mixers are the perfect elevated but easy entertaining essential.



Style Tip: This is the gift that quite literally, brings the holiday cheer! Pair them with an elevated shaker or some elegant glass wear ...and you have the perfect holiday gift set!


7. Hand & Body Cream Gift Sets

Treat the people you love (and let’s be honest—yourself) to the kind of luxe that instantly upgrades any winter routine: beautifully packaged hand and body cream sets. Think rich, silky formulas, elegant scents, and chic packaging that looks just as good on a vanity as it feels on skin. This is a universally loved gift that's as practical as it is indulgent!



Style Tip: Pair a beautifully packaged hand and body cream with some cozy slippers for the perfect self-care gift set!


8. Gift Cards

Give the gift of fashion freedom with a gift card to her favorite brand. Or better yet, give the gift of style in the form of a gift card from yours truly! Gifting your bestie a style session is the ultimate gift that keeps giving!



Style Tip: Add a thoughtful note about why you purchased the gift card. "This is for the animal print shoes you've been eyeing." It's personal and practical!


Gifting doesn’t have to be stressful, especially when you choose gifts that feel stylish, intentional, and personal. Whether you're going luxe with cashmere or gifting a self-care stocking stuffer, these items bring beauty, simplicity, and confidence to your favorite girl!


If you need a little extra help narrowing down the perfect gift, (or you want a little something for yourself), just email me. I'd love to help you select items that are chic and polished!


Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with joy!


xx, Lisa

Fall is here, and 2025 is serving up some seriously chic fashion trends that will reset your wardrobe for the new season.


Think effortless layers, luxe textures, and a splash of drama that makes even a coffee run feel runway-ready.


As a stylist, I’ve already been spotting what’s hot in the stores, and I’m breaking it all down for you so you can head into the season looking polished and modern without overthinking your wardrobe.


Here are the fall fashion trends you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2025:


1.  Luxe Leather Layers


ree

Leather is no longer just for jackets. This fall, you’ll see leather dresses, skirts, shorts, tailored pants, and even sleeveles leather vests you can layer over knits.


The vibe is sleek, confident, and a little bold.


2.  Soft Suede


ree

Suede is the fabric of the season, from rich camel colors to fringe slouchy handbags.


Suede instantly adds warmth and texture to your fall looks, and it’s the perfect alternative to leather when you want something softer and more relaxed.


3.  Polished Oversized Blazers


ree

The power blazer is back and bigger than ever.


Worn belted over dresses, paired with straight-leg jeans, or layered over a pleated skirt, it’s the fastest way to make any outfit look intentional and put together.


4.  Pencil Skirts, Reimagined


ree

Say goodbye to stiff and boring. The pencil skirt is making a chic comeback this season in unexpected fabrics like denim, leather, suede and even prints like polka dot and zebra.


Style your pencil skirt with a chunky knit or a fitted cardigan for a look that’s equal parts timeless and modern.


5.  Animal Prints (Cow Print and Zebra as the Stars)



Leopard and snakeskin had their time to shine, now it’s all about cow and zebra print.


Whether on a statement coat, skirt, belt or even a sleek handbag, these bold patterns bring a playful, fashion-forward edge to your wardrobe.


Trust me, these prints are an instant conversation starter and surprisingly versatile in black, white, and neutral tones.


6.  The Denim Update


ree

Autumn's denim is coming in wide, barrelled, straight and cropped so you will have your choice of on-trend silhouttes.


For an easy updated and elevated look, you can't go wrong pairing denim-on-denim this season.


Be on the look-out for darker denim shades for fall.


7.  Elevated Knits



We all know that fall is sweater-weather, but this season's knitwear is more of a statement piece.


Whether it's waist-defining silhouettes, jewel-botton details or relaxed and slouchy shapes, knitwear no longer feels simply like the layer underneath.


Think cardigans with a scarf attached, oversized cashmere turtlenecks or printed cardigans you’ll want to live in.


Cozy but polished is the name of the game this season.


8.  Statement Boots


ree

From pointy-toed kitten heels to knee-high patent leather boots, footwear is having its moment.


This fall is all about rich autumn colors and letting your boots do the talking — whether you’re wearing them with denim or dresses and pencil skirts.


9. Faux Fur Accents


ree

Faux fur is adding a touch of drama this season in all the right ways.

Think a long fur coat, plush fur collars, fuzzy handbags, and textured trims that elevate everyday basics. It's cozy and glamorous.


The best part is that faux fur can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion!


10. Belts With Everything



This fall, belts aren't just for pants. Designers are cinching waists over dresses, knits, and even outerwear.


Adding a belt instantly shapes your silhouette and takes your look from simple to styled.


Try belting a blazer, a trench coat, or even your favorite chunky cardigan and oversized blazer.


Ready to try these trends without the stress of shopping alone? I have some great news... I’m offering complimentary personal shopping and styling at The Mall at Short Hills from 10/3- 10/12!


Here is the link to sign up to shop with me while spots are available:



Together, we’ll find the pieces that make you feel confident, stylish, and totally yourself — all while staying true to your lifestyle.

Summer 2025 is finally here, and I’ve put together your ultimate summer shopping guide!


I've taken the time to gather everything you need for a stylish summer wardrobe so you don’t have to sweat it (😉 see what I did there??).


This season is all about self expression, with stylish items for everyone to enjoy. A welcome change from the neutral minimalism of the past.


Get ready to mix and match, layer on those colors, and let your personality shine through your wardrobe this summer!


Here’s what’s already on repeat in my wardrobe and what I’ll be styling all summer long for my clients (and probably convincing you to try too).


1. Silk Scarf Styling

Satin and printed scarves are having a moment and are set to be the key accessory of the season.


The best part about this trend is that you probably already have a scarf or two hanging in your closet!


Use your creativity when styling your scarves. Wrap one in your hair or pony tail to make beachy outfits elegant and chic or tie a scarf across your waist and wear in place of a belt to add an unexpected touch to any summer outfit.


You can even wear your scarf as a top this summer. The possibilities are endless!


How I'm Styling It: I'm tying a scarf around my go-to summer handbag to give it a seasonable facelift! Here's the scarf I'm wearing on my bag this season https://amzn.to/4kg67wc but if your in the market for a splurge, I recommend investing in this luxury scarf that can be worn as a sarong https://rstyle.me/+qfc_JPBJNc-oOGVt24cJXQ to elevate your basic black swimsuit!


  1. Key Colors This Summer

    Key colors to watch for include the same favorites from spring: butter yellow, powder pink, baby blue and pops of pistachio green.


    Since the summer color trends haven’t changed much from spring, you may already have these colorful items hanging in your closet.


    How I’m Styling It: I'll be updating all my older summer staples by pairing them with of-the-moment colored accessories, such as these baby blue slingback heels https://rstyle.me/+vB5IOftNEEHrax9-D6SepAwith paired with my favorite linen pants.


  2. Polka Dots & Gingham Print

    Polka dots have been spotted everywhere this summer (pun intended!) Gingham has also been a major pattern trend this season.


    Which pattern speaks to you? Take your pick, or invest in both since they are both classic prints.


    Polka dots and gingham trends can be incorporated into your wardrobe through dresses, skirts, blouses, swimsuits and even accessories like headscarves, shoes or bags.


    Pair your favorite basic tank with a polka dot or gingham skirt or shorts and there you have it... your outfit is perfectly on trend this season.


    The best part is that these quintessential summer patterns come in all color pallettes this season.


    Whether you choose a basic black and white ensemble or any of-the-moment color combos, your outfit will be effortlessly stylish this summer.


    How I'm Styling It: I'll be wearing my favorite red and white gingham dress https://amzn.to/4eOy3Xb on repeat this summer. After all, its a one-and-done look that works for most of my summer plans.


  1. Mesh & Woven Flats

    Some people love them, some people hate them, but the bottom line is …mesh and woven flats have shown serious staying power.


    It's the perfect option to let your toes breathe in the heat of summer while feeling a little dressier than flip flops.


    The best part about this trend is that you can wear these shoes even when your overdue for your pedicure (no one will know!)


    How I’m Styling It: I'm pairing this black pair of woven slides https://amzn.to/3TluEFd with my little white dress (LWD) to make it more current and to add a bit of edge to it this summer. Here is my favorite pair of mesh flats https://rstyle.me/+FIngv05TeDTpk5CaBJiaJw I'll be wearing them in place of flip flops this summer and even into the fall season!


  2. Summer Jewelry Options

    This year’s jewelry options are straight from the beach, think seashells, starfish and any other nautical vibe you can image.


    Bold, whimsical and statement-making, these jewelry pieces will make you feel like your on vacation all season long.


    Simply pair these pieces with a basic white tank and linen pants, and you will feel instantly upgraded.


    How I'm Styling It: I'm investing in this gold shell necklace https://amzn.to/4nzzfSe and this cord necklace https://amzn.to/3ToX2q4 to wear with my summertime favorites to channel the beach even when I'm not there!


  3. Laid Back Lace

    When it comes to styling lace in 2025, it's all about balance.


    Contrast a white lace maxi skirt or dress by pairing it with black accessories for a little bit of edge.


    For something even simpler, pair a basic white tee with a black lace pencil skirt.


    How I’m Styling It: I'm pairing a silk black Cami https://rstyle.me/+5dLXF-3t7ZuytX0ybu5hdA with my favorite pair of jeans https://rstyle.me/+4j_O7ZJtsU18IBQATMLBvQ to dress them up for a night out.


  4. The Perfect Summer Dress

    You know the dress --the one that works for errands, lunch, beach days, and even dinner with simply a swap of shoes.


    Nothing beats the feeling of slipping on the perfect summer dress. The ease of wearing it and the beauty of its one-and-done appeal are why it’s the ultimate summer piece, instantly making you feel put-together and sophisticated.


    This summer’s version of the perfect dress is a minidress in the latest color trend or a playful summer pattern such as gingham or polka dots.


    How I’m Styling It: I'll be wearing this brown and white polka dot minidress https://rstyle.me/+A1ec-yG0lwLbAIgYCJeUhQ on repeat this summer because I can easily dress it down with flip flops or up with strappy sandals!


  1. Effortlessly Cool Monochrome

    Whether it’s head-to-toe beige, crisp white, or all black —it’s all about playing with texture, not color. It’s simple, clean, and always looks intentional.


    How I’m Styling It: This white cotton vest set with white shorts https://amzn.to/45QXYea paired with a raffia bag and black mesh slides—minimalist but never boring.


Summer style should never feel forced. My advice? Pick a few trends that resonate with you and mix them into your summer wardrobe.


And if you’re not sure where to start, I’m always just a message away!
