Bringing back the blog.

I love style. It’s that simple and so is this blog.

SLK Style launched in the early 20-teens as an outlet for me to share my favorite fashion finds from noteworthy designers, local boutiques, and major retailers while working as a celebrity wardrobe stylist in Chicago. I hunt for the perfect mix of price point, trend, and quality pieces to help readers create a dream closet filled with elevated style. I’m keeping it simple, just like a stress-free wardrobe. I aim to introduce you to need-to-know designers and brands, share my favorite finds, and show you how to put it all together. Cheers to new beginnings! Thank you for trusting me with your budget, but don’t blame me when you want to buy it all!!!

XO, SLK

Here’s a little more in-depth look into my story…

A few years after Law school graduation I started my fashion career. In 2006 I launched my first line of designer handbags for mothers, Boujie Baby Couture. I sold to the chicest boutiques across the US, made waves in the fire-sale era, and entered the luxury market designing my favorite collection landing at my dream retailer in NYC. When Barney’s closed, so did my business. I quickly moved on to the next chapter of my life, following my passion for shopping and styling. Amid the 2010 techie boom, I co-founded Garmental.com with some incredibly talented friends and family. We published a look a day from Chicago’s hottest local boutiques. It’s fair to say we were the original online #OOTD. Not long after, I was signed to Ford Models as a wardrobe stylist and enjoyed an incredible career talking fashion on ABC, NBC, Fox, and WGN. Not to mention working on campaigns and events for vision board-worthy clients like Beyoncé, JJ Watt, Christina Hendricks, Nike, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Meijer Fashion, HGTV, and more. I’ve created content and acted as a national influencer for Neiman Marcus, General Growth Properties, JCPenney, Burlington, Lands’ End, Vestiaire Collective, Maidenform, and Skinnygirl. The list goes on.

In 2016 I took a detour into the beauty world, consulting for some of the industries biggest brands selling at Ulta Beauty, Sephora, QVC, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and Macy’s with a focus on creative storytelling, sales and marketing. In 2022 I opened SLK Brands and continued developing emerging brands. 2025 has brought me back home to fashion marketing by expanding to showroom services including influencer, celebrity and VIP sales dedicated to incredible developments in Nashville, Tennessee. I look forward to the amazing growth and possibilities that find me in the Heartland!
