The Hidden Gems Summer: A Style Challenge


We’ve all been there, staring at a closet full of clothes and feeling like we have absolutely nothing to wear. Meanwhile, beautiful necklaces are tangled in trays and "someday" investment pieces are gathering dust.

This season, I’m changing the narrative. I’m embarking on The Hidden Gems Summer, a season-long journey to unearth the treasures I already own and turn my closet into a slow-fashion discovery rather than a chore. Instead of buying new, I’m committing to a total Accessory Audit and pairing those overlooked fashion and statement pieces with a different "back-of-the-closet" outfit every week. To keep track of it all, I'll be using my trusty Stylebook app to log what I own and monitor what actually gets worn.

This year is all about sophisticated satin finishes, innovative cream-to-powder pudding textures, and velvety cushion compacts that make application effortless.
