8 TIPS TO LOOK STYLISH EVERYDAY

As a personal stylist, brand ambassador, and event planner, I am constantly on the go. Being “superwoman” is hard work!

Juggling work, projects, kids, and life, in general, has taught me a lot…especially when it comes to finding ways to look good…no matter what.

All the time, working with clients or bumping into friends during errands, I get asked, “Tali, how do you manage to look stylish every single day, whenever I see you?”

The truth is, I don’t put that much effort into it at all! But I do have my ways…8 tips specifically that I know I can use at the last minute to make any look amazing.

In this post, I’m going to reveal my secrets to always being simply stylish. These are the 8 things I do to look fabulous no matter what’s going on or how rushed you are getting ready.

1. Wear Red Lipstick

Do love to rock the red lips? Or are you more bashful, like some of my clients? Trust me, sister, you CAN pull off this look! I love Nars’ Red Dragon – it’s a classic red. If you’re looking for something bold but not red, I say go for this amazing purple shade from Smashbox.

Lipstick is way to make any makeup routine fast and effortless. With dark lips, there’s no need to bother with too many other products or makeup application techniques. Just put on a bright shade, and you’re good to go.

2. Wear a Smile Always

Smile. Smile. Smileeee! Always!

This is a trick I use so much that it’s become second nature to me. I don’t even think about it! When you smile, you not only look confident and kind, you’ll feel good too.

What could be better than that?

3. Put on a Stylish Hat

Wearing a stylish hat is a perfect and fast way to look like a style icon. Lately I’m totally into the trendy baseball caps like this one, but for those of you who know me, you know my signature look is with a flat top fedora like this one from Michael Stars.

4. Slip on a Pair of Gloves

This accessory is so overlooked! Gloves are not just for old movie stars, ladies!

Personally, I am obsessed with the vintage glove collection I received from Jason’s grandmother who is 95. You can also find on-trend gloves at Zara or local department stores.

Trust me. Slip on a pair of gloves and your friends will be begging you for style tricks, too.

5. Trendy Sunglasses

Sunglasses are really more than an accessory. They’re a necessity! And they can up the fab level of any look immediately.

The brands I really love are Super, Illesteva, Celine, and of course an updated classic from RayBan. Invest in even just one amazing pair of sunglasses and you’ll feel like a star where ever you go.

6. Tote an Authentic Designer Bag

As you might know, I don’t always urge my clients or readers to splurge on every single piece they wear, but if you’re going to splurge on something, make it a designer bag.

Your bag can pull an entire look together and make a serious statement. My favorite go-to bag is my Chloe crossbody. It’s a perfect size for what I need. It’s big enough to fit the small amount of diapers and wipes I’m still toting around plus all my on-the-go supplies…but it’s not too big, looks fab, and allows me to keep my hands free, which is super important, especially when I’m with the kids.

If you’re looking for a Chanel or Celine, you can find great deals on authentic designer bags on Real Real or eBay. (Please do not buy fake! It’s a cruel industry and not worth your money.)

I also really love Rebecca Minkoff and Israeli bag designer Collecte.

7. Put on a Great Pair of Shoes

I’m a huge fan of edgy and fresh shoes. All you need is just a couple of great pairs that can go with everything in your closet.

White sneakers or a pair of pointed-toe heels will finish off any look for the day. This is not an area to neglect!

8. Purchase a Statement Coat

Coats are a great way to experiment with your style and wear things you might not normally wear. Plus, in places that are cold, like Chicago, we’ve got to stay warm, so why not have fun with it?

I always tell my clients to invest in a few statement coats and jackets like the faux fur coats I’m wearing here.

This long black with studs coat ($220) and white & black faux fur ($120) are both from Toyshop, from this season. The gray wool one is from Zara  ($120).

You can get statement coats for good prices, and they’re worth it since you will wear them everyday.

How to Keep it Simple

Good, fitted denim from brands like J.Brand and Rag & Bone or joggers by n:Philanthropy are easy to slip on with some good quality basic tops. Keep your clothing simple and let your accessories to do the talking!
