I’m always shopping for two things: pieces from my fashion brand names bucket list and small brands that make a big impact on my wardrobe potential. Here are some of my recent finds that are worthy of your wardrobe too. I recently did a little destination shopping at the largest luxury brand outlets in California to shop for some of my favorite bucket list brands. Below you’ll find a round-up of some Gucci pieces I have had for a long time and still recommend. As an independent stylist and fashion blogger new brands sometimes seek my attention. I’ve recently discovered a few small brands worth the spotlight. I’ve included my favorites right now in this post. As a subscriber, you’ll always get a recent roundup of the best high-low brand mix. Enjoy.

BUCKET LIST FASHION BRAND NAME GUCCI

Some of my favorite Gucci pieces are so good that I already dedicated an entire blog post to them. Visit this one to get all the shopping tips you need to know before you buy a Gucci Belt. See how vintage collector Jennifer Kidwell and I styled a Gucci cardigan in a blog post I dedicated to in February 2021. Two years later and I still stand by these recommendations.

Change of Scenery’s swimwear is so good you may actually enjoy swimsuit shopping! The brand reached out to me last summer and I styled this swimsuit and matching skirt on Instagram.

This short sleeve Cotes of London snap or zip front vest has become a casual wardrobe staple for me.
