Let the fun times begin!
We had a delightful and productive closet edit and now it’s time to supplement your collection with pieces that flatter your frame, communicate your authentic personal style and are just right for the next chapter of your life as a PUBLISHED AUTHOR. Woot!
You’re about to see an array of options just for you. This is a big list and you absolutely won’t need it all. My goal is to give you the freedom to choose as you like. Don’t be afraid to take risks as items can be returned. You’re also receiving a “returns doc” to help you track the return policies of the retailers on your list.
Now, let’s dive in!
First up, this list is all about elegance. But I also want to be sure that you have some fantasy elements, if that appeals to you. Either cuff is a showstopper and has a rock & roll edge along with a sci-fi/ fantasy vibe. Bold comes in many forms.
I especially love it with your long hair. When your hourglass figure feels more like a triangle, drawing attention up top will balance your frame. You can do this by having your long hair down or by adding striking elements like this one. Again- bright or light colors, texture, skin, volume, prints or shine draw the eye.
A big part of your evolution is taking your love of bold, sexy shoes to the next level. We want pieces that are memorable and edgy while still feeling sophisticated. United Nude is PERFECT for this. There are several pair on the list. You’ll want to pick and choose your favs as they are an investment. But, they are comfortable, well made and will be in your closet for years.
This dress is EVERYTHING. It’s also ideal for so many occasions- from book signings to publisher meetings to dinners out. Bring out the edge with accessories (like in this look) or take it to a more classic place. And finally, we’re finishing off this outfit with a striking and functional handbag. You love this color and texture. This coordinates seamlessly with your entire collection.
Asterion Ear Cuff. Available in silver, bronze. Ariana Boussard-Reifel. $275.
LATELITA Cosmic Spikey Ear Cuff Oxidised. Boho Jeans. $59.
I’m so excited about this look. More functional and edgy jewelry that mix and match with everything on this list and your existing collection. We’re focusing on mixed metals for you- making it easy to pop on whatever appeals to you each day. The silver and gold ankle boots pull together any look and have that flashy vibe that resonates with you while the rest of this effortless look is polished and functional for most situations. Wear the sweater solo or with the silk slip dress. This two-fer is a super deal that will benefit you on the regular.
You’ll see an array of leather and vegan leather pieces on this list. This texture is an essential component of your new look. Add a piece of leather here and there or opt for an entire leather outfit. You can do it! And, this approach aligns with your style goals. This vegan leather jacket from Elodie is my FAVORITE. It’s insanely inexpensive and is a great option for rain. It’s not precious and works with a wide variety of styles. It’s great with expressive shoes.
There are so many ways to be bold. Abba pants are a great choice. These boots paired with this jewelry is another.
Jewelry adds to any look and these rock & roll pieces are just right paired with clean lines and the modern classic aesthetic that appeals to you. There are so many ways to show your shape in pieces that are comfortable for work, home or running an errand. This dress is a dream in warm weather. Head around the neighborhood or wear it on a date. It is a sexy approach that shows off your tatoos and feels elegant, all at once. Finish things off in the summer with this sun hat that protects you from the sun’s rays and elevates your style.
More fun jewelry! Wear multiple rings at once. Mix and match the metals. Try them on several fingers. The options are yours!
We want to show off your tattoos and black clearly resonates with you. Both of these tops are incredibly useful throughout the year, especially in the PNW where it gets cooler more often than not. Try them with dressy or more casual pieces. You’ll be surprised how practical they are. Trousers/ flare leg pants appeal to you and have a modern classic vibe. As we integrate rock & roll, elegance and sex appeal into each ensemble, a leather or vegan leather pair is a natural fit. They show off all your curves in the best possible way and are useful even in the coldest weather. Plus, they are a dream in rainy weather! United Nude again for the win with this extraordinary pair of wedges that are sure to get compliments for days.
The jewelry never ends! I hope you find it inspiring. It’s an easy way to amp up any look. I also love it for book signings. Clothes and accessories are a great way to connect with people and more interesting pieces are sure to draw attention and start conversations. The goal is to ensure that pieces feel like you and are a window to your authentic personality. With so many of your followers knowing your characters, this list is a great way to help them connect with YOU.
I love the idea of monochromatic looks for you. They are elegant, elongate your frame (while you are tall, this is still a win and one of the reasons you love heels). Playing with the waistline on pieces is an easy way to elongate your legs, balancing out your vertical frame, as well.
Looking for that ideal “professional” look that’s anything but boring? This is it. Just right for negotiations or dressier situations, this vegan leather cropped blazer paired with a high waist pant is sure to bring success. Bodysuits are a win for you and this sexy and still functional option is just right. It will also show some of your back tattoo. There’s no need to finish this off with jeans. Show your style mastery with a wide leg pant from Aritzia (comfortable and effortless) or a satin jogger (elegant and cozy enough for nap time).
I’m a super fan of the shoes from United Nude (hello rose gold!) and this crossbody handbag from All Saints. Either mix and match easily with your new or existing pieces. And, a hands free bag is just right for everyday and for travel.
Babaton Consultant Pant. Available in two colors. Aritzia. $148. Content: 67% polyester, 29% viscose, 4% elastane. Care: Machine wash. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose — material derived from controlled or certified wood sources and made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption than generic viscose.
Rock & Roll calls for leather, lace, hardware and denim. We have it all. This denim vest is a dream with opportunities to show off your tattoos in front and back. You’ll be shocked at how versatile this top is year-round. Meanwhile, this Amazon leather blazer is a shockingly awesome win. Try it in any color, if you like. I especially love it in teal. This outfit just gets better as it goes. Flare jeans from Paige are ideal for your curves and they’ll elongate your legs. Yes! You have a magical ability to wear super high heels. But, you won’t want to do that everyday. That’s why we have some super cool go-to options on this list. I’m obsessed with this mixed metal choice that brings every outfit together. Thanks again, All Saints! Finish things off with an expressive crochet handbag. You adore texture and this is another piece that will catch the eye of… well, everyone.
I’ve styled this particular outfit with more of a 70’s rock vibe. Don’t be afraid if this isn’t exactly what you are searching for. Each piece pairs beautifully with other choices on the list and can be styled with less vintage energy, if desired. Options abound!
The photo absolutely doesn’t do this one justice. Truly.
This gold leather, YES GOLD LEATHER jacket from Walter Baker is a stunner. Channeling your love of bold, sexy pieces, this is the everyday jacket for you. Okay, you don’t technically need to wear it everyday, especially with the other glorious pieces on this list. But, rest assured. It’s super practical and goes with everything. Pair it with this sexy and comfortable dress that shows off your back tattoo and can be dressed up or down year-round. Finish this off with virtually any shoe on the list. SO good.
There’s so much to love here! Again, this list is jam packed with choices, so we’re not expecting you’ll keep everything. You’ll quickly connect with a sea of choices and can add in the other options that push you to the next level. Or, get it all and we’ll narrow it down together.
This clutch is ideal for any dressy situation and works with the entire list. Easy! I adore this layered necklace for you. It can elongate your torso if we don’t pair it properly. But we will! High waisted anything plus a heel and/or an elongated leg (like a flare) will do the job.
I vote you stock up on some cotton tanks that are casual, comfortable and can be layered easily to complete any look. They also have a bit of an edge. Animal prints appeal to you and we discussed the various ways to integrate them into your look. I vote for this bold and yet still subtle olive green pair of vegan leather textured pants. The more you wear them, the more you’ll love them. Plus the price is incredible!
I’m losing my mind over these slingback heels and they are a dream with this clutch. Again, both are versatile without being boring. And last but absolutely not least, I see you in this copper vegan leather trench. I’ve seen it IRL. It will likely need tailoring to make it a more fitted piece. But, it’s worth it. I found it second hand - new with tags- which is a savings, but is also not returnable. So, I’ll let you choose. This is also an option for a raincoat.
Sexy with an opportunity to show off your tattoos? Yes, please. Modern classic? Check! This fun vegan leather dress is an unexpected piece that is just right for a spring wedding, a date or a night out. It works with an array of shoes on this list including these gorgeous United Nude heels. Whichever United Nude shoes you choose, rest assured that they are beautiful, comfortable, well made and will be on rotation for years because they are outside of the trends. They exist in their own universe, which is just the way we like it.
The jewelry!?! I can’t say enough about it.
I adore the idea of a sexy, unexpected vegan leather top that is classy and easy to pair. Try this one with virtually any bottom on this list. Here, it’s paired with vegan leather straight leg pants that show your shape and introduce a rock and roll vibe to any look. Mixed metal jewelry means you can try shoes with gold and hardware that’s silver. Or the opposite. Or both. While the Kahlo robe jacket may or may not look magnificent in the image, it is a true game changer. The ideal lightweight spring jacket, this shows your shape and encourages you to wear form fitting pieces or show lots of skin- all the while, keeping things nice and elegant. Plus, it’s a great choice to pair with leather and vegan leather when you want something soft or lighter weight, depending on the situation or the temperature. It’s another modern classic with clean lines. You’ll be glad you made the investment.

I wanted to be sure that we had a number of feminine pieces that had an unexpected twist on a classic. This dress is absolutely one of those. It’s an investment. It’s also on sale. I know designer isn’t important to you, so grab this one if you love it and if not, that’s okay, too. I especially appreciate the plunge neckline that is ideal for your sternum tattoo and the long sleeves and length, both of which are great in cold weather. Try it with a leather jacket and then remove the layers as you desire. Here’s another ring for continued accessorizing options!
Prabal Gurung Twist-Front Midi-Dress. Saks Fifth Avenue. Was: $1,095 Now: $438. 96% viscose/ 4% elastane. Made in USA.
The fun continues! This time, we’re mixing it up with color. The Liz leather jacket from Walter Baker is SO good for you. It’s cropped and a less boxy moto style. You’ll get the rock and roll feel without the oversized, masculine fit. Of course, you adore this color and this jacket is sure to draw attention. It’s bold without being over the top. Ready to go bigger? Layer it with various colors, like we’re doing here. This vegan leather crop top is a fun piece that is easy to wear anytime, anywhere. We continue to have options for your bottom half- each one flattering and comfortable. Tencel is a super soft material that is sustainable and elevated. These joggers are great for working at home then diving out into the neighborhood. Ready for a pair of jeans? Just in case you are jonesing for some, here’s my pick.
An easy, weekend piece, this top shows off your small waist and adds more dimension to your look. You’ll discover that it’s easy to pair with the majority of this list. I love it with this metallic leather skirt below. I especially adore it with your copper nails! Another piece you’ll have for years and will continue to get complimented on. And what would an outfit be without a suggested United Nude pairing?!
Getting dressed up has never been so fun or easy. Try a pair of rocker earrings for a glam boost. Again, the mixed metal mean these go with everything! I love them with the gold mixed metal clutch, too! Yes! Everyone needs some formal or semi formal options to help you live your best life. I’m not sure how you’ll choose between these two….
ewel Badgley Mischka Knot Front Sleeveless Gown. Nordstrom. $258. Lined 67% polyester, 30% metallic fibers, 3% resin.
While you are a fan of clean lines, feminine sleeves and sheer pieces also really speak to you. This flattering top shows off your sternum tattoo and can go toward fantasy or rock and roll, depending on styling. Dress it up with leather or down with denim. You’ll be glad you did. Then add these sleek knee high boots to so many looks. They will elongate your legs with a nice clean line and a modern twist on a classic. And they’re on super sale.
And this is when things get especially fun. It’s time for leather or vegan leather shorts. Truly. They are SO right for you. Wear them with a blouse like this or layer them with a ribbed tank in the warmer months. Colder? Layer the blue sweater from the two-fer over top and finish off with these boots. The show off your great legs and can be worn year-round. You’ll have them for years to come. Here are two choices that I like for your lifestyle and your authentic personal style. Consider wearing them with boots, heels or flat sandals. Options abound.
And there you have it! Oh my goodness, I’m am OBSESSED with this list. I can’t wait to hear what you think. Have a great time shopping and LMK how it goes. You are going to look AMAZING. Also, FYI- I typically went with size 4 on top and 6 on the bottom or small all around. For dresses, I vote for 6 to be sure it will fit your bottom half, unless the brand runs large. And you can purchase as much or as little as you like. Good times are coming! Okay! Enjoy!
