A Fashion Editor's Top 5 Investment Pieces

-

 If there’s one thing I’ve learned after years of chasing trends, it’s this: true style doesn’t come from having more, it comes from having better. I used to buy whatever was new and shiny, only to realize a season later that those pieces were sitting at the back of my closet, forgotten. Over time, I started asking myself, what are the items I reach for year after year, no matter what’s trending?

The Sunglasses I Wear With Every Single Outfit

These are the five pieces I believe every wardrobe deserves — the kind that feel like a splurge in the moment but pay for themselves with endless wear.

1. The Perfect Blazer

A blazer that fits you like it was made for your body is pure magic. I wear mine over dresses, with jeans, even with joggers when I want to look like I tried (but didn’t). It instantly sharpens any outfit and makes me feel pulled together.

2. A Classic Leather Bag

Forget logos that scream “new season.” The best investment bag is one you can carry everywhere — work, dinner, even on a quick grocery run — without it ever looking dated. A structured leather tote or a crossbody in a neutral tone is my go-to.

3. Tailored Trousers

Trends come and go, but a pair of well-cut trousers? Timeless. They make even a simple white tee look like an outfit. I always recommend going for a neutral shade like black, navy, or camel so you can wear them year-round.

4. Quality Shoes (That Don’t Hurt)

We’ve all been guilty of buying the “pretty but painful” pair. Never again. A sleek pair of leather boots or classic pumps that you can actually walk in will outlast every fast-fashion heel in your closet. Comfort is an investment, too.

5. A Signature Coat

Your coat is the first thing people see in colder months, so why not make it unforgettable? A wool coat in a timeless cut — maybe camel, navy, or even deep burgundy — instantly elevates your look and lasts for decades if cared for properly.

At the end of the day, investment pieces aren’t about labels — they’re about longevity. These are the pieces that stay with you, the ones you don’t regret. Trends will keep changing, but your style foundation? That’s forever.

Let’s talk honestly, woman to woman. There are days—ugh, those days—when you catch your reflection and sigh. Your jeans feel tight, your energy’s low, and everything you try on just feels... wrong. The scale might not have budged, but your mood sure did. And somehow, the mirror knows. I’ve been there more times than I can count. Here’s what I’ve learned: feeling “off” in your body isn’t permanent. It’s not your size, not your worth, not even the real you. It’s a passing moment. But the right outfit? That can change your entire vibe in minutes. These are the exact go-to outfit ideas I reach for when I’m bloated, burned out, or just not feeling my best—but still want to look pulled together and feel like myself again . 1. 🖤 The “Everything Feels Tight” Outfit: Black-on-Black with Texture Black is magic. But the secret is texture —not just tossing on basic leggings and a tee. Try this combo: Flowy black palazzo pants Ribbed or wrap black top (something that defines your shape, gent...

Let’s talk honestly for a second. How many times have you bought a lip liner that looked amazing in the store… only to get home, try it on, and realize it either made you look washed out or like you’d drawn your lips with a crayon? Been there. Way too many times. The truth is, finding the right lip liner is a little like dating — you’re looking for one that just gets you . It needs to blend in , enhance , and stay through life’s ups and downs (okay, or at least your second coffee). Luckily, there are a few holy grail liners that do all of the above — no matter your skin tone, lipstick shade, or even if you’re going bare-faced. So let’s break it down. 💄 What Actually Makes a Lip Liner “Universal”? We throw that word around a lot, but here’s what I really mean when I say these go with everything: They mimic or gently boost your natural lip tone They’re neither too pink nor too brown — they sit right in the middle They’re smooth, not dry or draggy They stay put , even after...
