Show Notes
Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces.
I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for. It’s that in-between moment where your winter pieces feel too heavy, but it’s not quite summer either, so figuring out what actually works can be hard. From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier. We’re also talking about how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring, why fabric matters more than you think, and how to bring more personality into your everyday outfits.
This episode is your guide to refreshing your closet without overconsuming, focusing on pieces you’ll actually wear and style on repeat.

Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all.
Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes.
If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you.
I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.
Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.
