Summer vacation

Your summer vacation packing essentials

We all strive to go on vacation and pack less, myself included. There’s nothing worse than getting home from a trip and opening your suitcase to discover you only wore half of the items you brought. As we’re all fitting in our final trips of the summer (and I’m packing for a big trip), I decided we needed to do a summer vacation packing post! Keep reading to see our formula for packing light. Now, let’s see if I can follow my own advice; only time will tell!

The RLS Edit – The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026 is here! Where has the year gone!? As a reminder, this super sale is full of new fall clothing, shoes, and accessories. This is an amazing chance to curate your cold-weather wardrobe at a limited-time discount. We put together 4 outfits to inspire your sale shopping. There is a style for everyone in our Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026 picks.

Fashionable, Comfortable Work Shoes

Fashionable, comfortable work shoes are not an oxymoron. I (Lani) always say I’m the only fashion stylist who won’t make you wear high heels. However, I will make you wear a cute flat that elongates your leg line and aligns with the silhouette of your pants or skirt. Get the shoe silhouette right, and your whole outfit will look and feel balanced. Get the shoe wrong, and your whole outfit looks off. Flats too flat? You may look like you are standing in a hole. It’s not a pretty vision, yet we see it a lot!

What to wear for Mother’s Day

Do you know what to wear for this year’s Mother’s Day celebration? We assume we aren’t the only ones who have been getting spammed with Mother’s Day gift ideas for the last month. Sometimes, it’s just too much. Instead of adding to the noise, we thought we’d offer some Mother’s Day outfit inspiration.

We have put together three incredibly easy (and fun) ensembles to help you figure out what to wear for your Mother’s Day celebration. Use these ensembles as a jumping off point for creating your Mother’s Day style, or if you see something you love, links to purchase are provided!

Your Perfect Work Pants

This blog will help you find fresh, comfortable, and well-fitting tailored pants—i.e., the perfect work pant, stress-free! Shopping for the perfect work pants that fit and flatter can be overwhelming. Unwilling to endure the search for the “perfect” pair, many women have worn the same threadbare black pants to work for years. We see you, and we get it.

The Comfortable Blazer

No, a comfortable blazer is not an oxymoron. What’s the secret to a comfortable women’s work blazer that flatters? Fabric with stretch so that it moves with you, but also structure so that it skims the body in the right places. And the correct length.

Many women think blazers are too formal or the fit too constricting. We say this is because they haven’t met the right blazer. Everyone looks and feels more put together in a jacket or blazer. No one feels (or looks) their best in a cardigan. You can carve that on Lani’s gravestone!

A Fun Day Out Plan for Valentine's Day Outfit

A plan for valentine’s day

Do you have a plan for Valentine’s Day? Somehow it’s already February. How did that happen? Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us (as it often does), and we want to know: What are your plans? Maybe you have a weekend getaway planned. Or perhaps a fun day out. Maybe you don’t have anything planned at all, and that’s ok! We’ve got some fun shoppable ideas to help enhance your Valentine’s Day. Whether as a gift for yourself or someone else, we support your choice!
