People Always Compliment My Style—Here’s a 7-Day Diary of Everything I’ve Worn and Applied

Leaving New York at the start of winter is rough to say the least. It’s either super hot or freezing cold as you go through the airport journey, so keeping a fluffy and warm coat that can keep me comfortable in either climate is key, like this one from Khy.

I’m flying to California, so the clock turns backwards while we move West. I always keep a pair of sunglasses on me in the air so that if someone decides to open the window or the lights suddenly turn on after the whole plane was in darkness. This pair is super cute and extremely functional.

Remedy’s Advanced Hand & Cuticle Butter Cream is the one thing that keeps my hands from completely betraying me as I age. It’s thick without being greasy, sinks in fast, and the retinol keeps my hands looking young—this part of the body is usually thin and ages first.

Medicube’s PDRN-infused sheet masks allow for my skin to soak in hydration and collagen-building ingredients in an environment that’s not the friendliest to skin.

Like I said above, I’m obsessed with a colorful tee and this adorable pink one from Climax Books has been atop my list for quite some time. It’s cute, sexy, and looks good with just about everything.

A pair of pink Repetto flats? To die for. I’m in love with this faint, metallic pink. These shoes, this tee, and a pair of boyfriend jeans and I’m turning running errands into a fashion show.

La Prairie’s Cellular Softening and Balancing Lotion is what I reach for on days my skin needs to stay calm through in many different environments. It’s technically an essence, but feels more hydrating than that. Even by the end of the day, my face stays toned, plump, and fresh.

The OS-01 Lip Mask is my secret weapon for mornings when my lips turn against me the night before. It’s rich but not sticky, and somehow manages to smooth everything out in a way regular balms just don’t.

After an intense workout, I love to pop on an oversized hoodie if I’ve got somewhere to be afterwards. I’m obsessed with this off-gray style from Helsa. It’s so soft, I barely notice I’m cooling down.

I’ve really been into the flare lately when it comes to my denim, so why wouldn’t I extend that to my exercise clothing? These yoga pants from 437 hug your body in all the right ways, but are still flexible enough that you can hit even the hardest move in pilates.

I don’t usually wear makeup just to sweat it off, but you’ll never catch me without a lip plumper on hand. I’m obsessed with this new launch from Dior—it gives me the perfect plump while delivering this shiny, light glittery sheen.

SOS Hypochlorous Acid Spray is my post-workout emergency fix. The second I’m done, I spray this on and it stops bacteria before it starts to cause facial and body acne from forming.

A road trip requires a large bag (to hold snacks and other snacks) but it still needs to look chic. This brown shoulder bag from Marge Sherwood does that and more.

Even though I’m driving, I need to be ready to go the minute I step out of the car, so I’m switching my comfortable sneakers for these edgy overlay boots so that my fun can begin right when I arrive.

Refy’s Lash Sculpt Mascara gives my lashes that clean, lifted look without clumps or drama. It lengthens and makes my eyes look more awake, even after a long day.

Merit’s Minimalist Stick is one of those rare complexion products that lands right between lightweight and buildable, melting into the skin but still delivering coverage. It smooths, brightens, and evens everything out without ever looking like makeup.

I haven’t worn a proper high heel in forever, so my go-to is always a kitten style. This pair from Coperni hits the sweet spot: sleek enough to elevate anything I’m wearing, low enough that I can actually walk in them.

It’s freezing in New York right now, so any hint of warm weather feels like an excuse to wear something short and fun. I love sequins and this mini dress has the perfect amount of shine without feeling over the top. Plus, it’s simple enough that I can throw it on with a teeny heel and go. Perfect for dancing at Are We On Air.

My favorite thing about the Fara Homidi Smudge & Contour Pencil is that it lets you shape your lips softly, almost like shading, and then blends out with a fingertip if you want a slightly blurred look. It’s been my go-to for years because it somehow makes every lip product you pair with it look a little better.

Miutine ended up being my favorite launch of 2025, mostly because it didn’t smell like anything else that came out this year. It’s playful but not sugary, sharp without being aggressive, and it settles into this skin-hugging scent that feels like a decadent pastry.

My closet is full of asymmetrical tops, so when I saw this one from Atorie, I had to click add to cart. It has that sculptural shape I’m always drawn to, and the fit is even better in person.

I’ve been yearning for a hot pants moment, so I’m definitely rocking this Frankie Skort from With Jean when I go to dinner in DTLA at the Hotel Figueroa. The skort cut keeps everything secure, so I can actually enjoy my night at dinner without adjusting it every five seconds.

The Colorgraph pencil from Valentino is the one liner I always have in bag when I want definition but don’t have the patience for liquid liner. The gel texture lets you get a clean line or a quick smudge before it sets and once it’s on, it doesn’t move.

The new Eau D’Extrait Oral collab from Selahatin with Rick Owens hits differently from any other mouth spray—it’s dark, aromatic, and feels more like a finishing touch than a hygiene step. It’ll cut through whatever I’ve eaten at dinner without going full minty blast.

The Brain Dead Low Sneaker is the pair I reach for when I want something comfortable but still a little funky in the best way. They’ve got that chunky, graphic Brain Dead look without feeling heavy, and they give even the simplest outfit a little personality.

Flowy shorts for a day where I’m trying on a ton of clothing? Absolutely the right move. This pair from Heavy Manners has the perfect drape and never clings, which is crucial when you’re shimmying in and out of a million outfits, especially in a busy place like The Grove.

I’m not a claw clip girl, except for this style from Katya. It’s always resting on the strap of my bag in case of emergency and I always get compliments on it.

As someone who’s currently trying to strengthen and grow their hair, I take any chance I get to slather and slick back my hair with Bur Bur’s Growing Season Growth and Repair Oil. It’s packed with nourishing botanicals like castor seed oil and burdock root extract that are actually known to support scalp health and encourage stronger strands.
