Let’s RECAP THE WEEK

LTK-Con 2025 Style Diary

This week, I had the honor of attending the 2025 LTKCon for the fourth time, just outside of Dallas, an unforgettable few days filled with connection, learning, and celebration. It’s always such a privilege to be in a room with fellow creators, hear from industry leaders, and feel the energy of a community that truly gets it.

That said… big events like this can be a lot. Overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally charged in ways that are hard to explain. But I always leave with a fresh perspective, and this year, I’m coming home feeling inspired, recharged, and ready to keep growing alongside all of you.

So, let’s get into the fun stuff! I’m breaking down everything I wore during the trip, with links to shop (or similar styles) if you’re looking for outfit ideas for your next event, work trip, or just want to feel a little more pulled together.

 

DAY 1:

Travel, Trench Coats & a Denim Party

We hit the ground running! I traveled in a comfy knit dress (you might recognize it from a recent IG post), layered with this cropped trench coat and velvet loafers, the perfect mix of polished and practical. From there, the day was nonstop: I kicked things off with lunch alongside my management team, then headed straight into a denim-themed cocktail party (yes, outfits were coordinated, ha!), and wrapped up the night at a private event hosted by none other than Colleen Rothschild herself!! Safe to say, Day 1 was full, but in the best way.

 
 

DAY 2:

Snappy Casual by Day,
Parisian Chic by Night

Day two called for snappy casual, and I took it as the perfect opportunity to mix business-casual structure with a fun, on-trend twist. Think: effortless layers, elevated staples, and pieces that felt like me. The evening vibe? Parisian-inspired perfection. From bold lips to classic details, it felt like a grown-up dress-up moment in the best way. And yes… I’m also sharing the pajamas I wore that night, because they deserve their moment too.

 
 

DAY 3:

Minis, “Sexy GRanny” Heels,
And Red Carpet Glam

Day three brought another snappy casual look, and I leaned into a favorite formula: a mini dress with functional buttons and my now-iconic “sexy granny” shoes, which so many of you loved when I first shared them! For the evening, the theme was Hollywood Red Carpet Glam, and I pulled out the black dress I had previewed a few weeks back. It had just the right amount of drama and sparkle, and honestly made me feel like a million bucks.

 
 

Day 4

Travel Style

Day four was all about getting home, but you know I don’t believe in sacrificing style for comfort. I reached for my go-to travel staples: leggings, layers, and my trendy barn jacket (featured in my Fall Style Guide for a reason). One hero detail I have to call out? This genius magnetic strap turns any tote into a travel-friendly carry-on by securely hooking to your suitcase handle. A total game-changer and a small business find. Because even on travel days, the details matter.

 
 

MORE FAVORITES FROM THE TRIP

Undergarments, Outfits & Extras I Couldn’t Leave Out

There were a few things I didn’t get the chance to share in the daily breakdowns, but they deserve a spotlight too! From the undergarments that helped every look feel supported and smoothed (you know I’ve got thoughts there), to an extra outfit that didn’t make it to the ‘gram, to the accessories and glam products that pulled everything together, I’m rounding up even more behind-the-scenes favorites below. Because the magic is in the details, and you know I’m all about sharing the things that actually work.
