How I Really Style My Life: A Look Inside My LTK Favorites
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that my whole approach to sharing what I love has always come from a genuine place. I don’t want to just show you pretty pictures — I want to give you the full story behind the pieces I reach for again and again, the ones that earn a permanent spot in my closet or my home, and the ones I think are actually worth your money. That’s exactly what my LTK shop is built around, and today I’m pulling back the curtain on how I use it, why I love it, and what you can expect when you shop my links.
Whether you’re brand new here or you’ve been clicking my links for years, I hope this gives you a better sense of who I am, what I stand for when it comes to style, and how to get the most out of everything I share on LTK.
What LTK Actually Is (And Why I Love Using It)
For anyone who isn’t familiar, LTK — short for LikeToKnow.it — is a platform that lets creators like me share shoppable links with our audience in one organized, easy-to-browse place. Instead of you having to hunt down the exact denim jacket I’m wearing in a photo or frantically screenshotting my stories hoping you catch the swipe-up in time, everything I share lives in one place under my profile.
You can search by category, scroll through my posts, or even screenshot any photo from Instagram and the LTK app will pull up all the items in that image. It’s genuinely one of the most seamless shopping experiences I’ve come across, and it’s the reason I’ve built so much of my sharing around it.
What I love most about it from my end is the organization. I’m a naturally detail-oriented person, and being able to curate my recommendations by category — whether that’s workwear, vacation outfits, home finds, beauty, or gifts — means that when you come to my page looking for something specific, you’re not wading through a sea of unrelated posts. It’s thoughtful, it’s intentional, and it reflects how I think about my own wardrobe and home.
My Approach to Sharing on LTK
Here’s something I want to be completely transparent about: I only share things I would actually buy or have actually bought. I know that sounds like something every creator says, but I mean it in a really specific way.
When a brand sends me something to try, I give it real-world use before it ever makes it onto my LTK page. I wear it on actual days — not just for a photo shoot — and I ask myself whether I’d reach for it again, whether it held up after washing, whether the fit was true to size, and whether I felt good in it. If the answer is yes across the board, it gets shared. If something is just okay, or if the quality doesn’t match the price point, I skip it, even if it would have been easy content.
I’m also really aware of the fact that when you click one of my links, you’re trusting me with a real decision. Maybe it’s a small purchase, maybe it’s a splurge. Either way, I take that seriously. I’d rather have a smaller, more curated LTK page filled with things I genuinely believe in than a massive archive of mediocre recommendations.
This philosophy shapes everything — the capsule wardrobe pieces I return to every fall, the home items I’ve repurchased because they held up so well, the affordable finds I rave about because they punch so far above their price point.
What You’ll Find When You Shop My LTK
Let me walk you through the main categories you’ll find when you visit my LTK page, because I want you to be able to use it like a resource, not just a grid of pretty outfits.
Everyday Outfits and Casual Style
This is probably where most of my content lives. I’m a firm believer in the idea that the way you dress on an ordinary Tuesday matters just as much as how you dress for a special occasion. Comfort and style are not mutually exclusive — I’ve spent a long time proving that to myself, and I want to prove it to you too.
You’ll find a lot of elevated basics here: great-fitting jeans in a range of washes, soft layering pieces, versatile sneakers that work with almost everything, and the kind of tops you can tuck, tie, or leave untucked depending on the mood. I tend to gravitate toward a neutral palette with a few carefully chosen color or print moments, which makes everything mix and match in a really satisfying way.
Workwear and Office Style
Getting dressed for work used to feel like a chore to me, until I figured out a formula that felt like me rather than a costume. Now it’s one of my favorite things to style. My workwear edits on LTK focus on pieces that are polished without being stiff — blazers that look intentional over a simple t-shirt, trousers in fabrics that actually breathe, comfortable but refined shoes that can carry you from morning meetings to evening plans.
I also pay a lot of attention to price point here, because professional wardrobes are often where people feel pressure to overspend. You’ll find investment pieces alongside genuinely good affordable alternatives, and I always note in my post captions when something is a true splurge versus an everyday budget-friendly find.
Vacation and Resort Style
This might be my most personally fun category to shop and style. There’s something about the freedom of vacation dressing that I love — lighter fabrics, bolder colors, pieces that feel a little more playful than your everyday rotation. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a European city, or a mountain cabin, I try to build out edits that are practical for the destination but still feel stylish and considered.
Cover-ups that actually work as a dress on the walk to dinner, sandals that are cute and can handle cobblestone streets, a sun hat that travels well — these are the kinds of things you’ll find in my vacation edits, along with the bags and accessories that pull everything together.
Home and Lifestyle
My home content has grown a lot over the past couple of years, and it’s become one of the areas I’m most passionate about sharing. My aesthetic at home leans warm and collected — I love natural materials, vintage-inspired finds mixed with more modern pieces, and spaces that feel lived-in and comfortable rather than too precious to actually use.
On my LTK you’ll find everything from throw blankets and candles to furniture pieces I’ve invested in and truly love, kitchen tools I use constantly, and small decorative items that add personality to a space without cluttering it. I approach home the same way I approach fashion: with intention, and always keeping function in mind alongside aesthetics.
Beauty and Wellness
I’m not a beauty expert by any stretch, but I know what works for my skin, my hair, and my routine, and when I find something that genuinely makes a difference, I want to share it. My beauty finds on LTK are curated and specific — not a dump of every product I’ve ever tried, but the things that have stuck around on my bathroom counter and earned their place there.
This includes a mix of skincare, makeup basics, hair tools, and wellness products. I tend to lean toward brands that are transparent about their ingredients and formulations, and I’m especially vocal when something affordable actually outperforms a more expensive alternative.
How to Shop My LTK Like a Pro
A few tips to make the most of my page:
The search bar is your best friend. If you saw something specific in my Instagram feed or Stories and want to find it quickly, you can search my username on the LTK app and browse by collection. I organize my posts into collections so that things like “Fall Outfits,” “Work Wardrobe,” and “Home Favorites” are easy to find without scrolling endlessly.
Turn on notifications if there’s a category you shop from regularly. LTK lets you follow specific creators and get notified when they post new content, so you’ll never miss a sale I flag or a new outfit post.
Check back around major sale seasons. I put a lot of extra time into curating sale edits — especially during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, Black Friday, and the spring and summer sales — because those are the moments when the pieces I already recommend drop to their best prices of the year. I always flag sale items clearly and try to give context about whether something is actually a great deal or just discounted from an inflated price.
Use the screenshot feature on the LTK app. If you screenshot an Instagram post of mine while the app is open, it will automatically pull up the products in that image. It’s a little bit magic and one of the most useful features if you’re someone who screenshots outfits while scrolling.
My Honest Thoughts on Affiliate Links and Transparency
I want to address this directly because I think it matters, and I’ve seen a lot of creators dance around it. When you purchase through my LTK links, I earn a small commission. That’s how the platform works, and it’s part of how I’m able to keep creating content and putting real time into curation and photography.
But here’s the thing: that commission structure doesn’t change what I share. I’ve declined to include products on my LTK page that would have earned me a higher commission because I didn’t love them enough to recommend them to you. The integrity of my recommendations is worth more to me than any single affiliate payout, because if I start sharing things I wouldn’t personally buy, you stop trusting me — and that trust is the entire foundation of what I’m building here.
I also never tag something as a “favorite” or “must-have” unless it genuinely is. Those words get thrown around a lot in this space, and I think it dilutes their meaning. When I call something a wardrobe staple or say I’ve repurchased it, I mean it literally.
Some of My All-Time Most-Reached-For Pieces
Rather than just talking in abstract terms, let me give you a sense of the kinds of things that consistently make my LTK page — the categories of pieces I return to time and again because they’re simply that good.
A really great pair of straight-leg jeans is probably the single item I’ve helped more people find than anything else. The fit, the rise, the wash — all of it matters, and when a pair checks every box, it becomes the cornerstone of at least half the outfits in your closet. I’ve shared several versions across different price points and body types, and the posts consistently get the most saves of anything I share.
A quality leather or leather-look tote bag is another one. It needs to be large enough to actually function as a work bag, structured enough to look polished, and durable enough to take daily wear. When I find one that hits all three, I shout about it loudly.
Linen or linen-blend pieces for warmer months have become a real obsession of mine. The fabric is just so wearable — it breathes, it has beautiful texture, and it photographs incredibly well — and there are now really good options at every price point.
In the home category, I’ve become genuinely evangelical about a few specific candle brands, a particular style of wood cutting board that works as a serve-and-display piece, and linen-blend throw blankets that are soft enough to actually use every day.
Why Following Me on LTK Is Different From Following on Instagram
Instagram is where you see the lifestyle context — the outfits styled in my actual environment, the home shelfie, the day-in-my-life content. But LTK is where the practical shopping information lives. It’s searchable, it’s organized by category, and the links are always current.
I also add specific details in my LTK captions that I don’t always have space for in an Instagram caption — things like whether something runs large or small, which size I’m wearing, how it washes, whether I’d size up in shoes, or how a color reads in person versus on screen. That contextual detail is something I genuinely believe makes the difference between a confident purchase and a disappointing one.
If you’re someone who shops thoughtfully and wants to feel informed before you click “add to cart,” my LTK page is built for you.
A Note on My Style Philosophy
I want to close with something that’s a little more personal, because I think it gives context to everything else on my LTK page.
My style has never been about following trends for the sake of following them, or buying more than I actually need. I believe in a closet where almost everything works together, where you reach for the same pieces in different combinations and feel good every time. I believe in quality over quantity, but I also believe in being realistic about budget and finding the best version of something at whatever price point makes sense for your life.
Shopping should feel like a tool in service of your actual life, not a source of anxiety or pressure. When I share something on LTK, my hope is that it genuinely makes something easier — getting dressed in the morning, decorating a space you love, finding a gift for someone important, or just feeling great in what you’re wearing on an ordinary day.
That’s the spirit behind every post, every collection, and every link on my LTK page. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Shop my current favorites and all linked items at my LTK page. New posts go up regularly, and I’m always happy to answer questions about fit, sizing, or styling in the comments.
