Summer has ended, at least according to social media, fashion retailers and the seasonal section at Target. Although fall doesn’t technically start til the 23rd, Labor Day is, for better or worse, the unofficial end of summer. Yet, as far as I can see, our forecast still calls for 100 degrees or higher for the foreseeable future. What’s a girl to wear in this seasonal conundrum?

August was a weird month. It felt both long and quick at the same time, and while it was only days ago, it feels like years ago. It was also a very lightly photographed month in terms of documenting what I wore.

August likely seemed like a quiet month for JGP Styled Me, at least from the perspective of my website and even, to an extent, my Instagram. And while it was intentionally quiet from a business perspective, it was anything but in my personal life.

While June was pretty quiet and casual, July was livelier and gave me opportunities to dress up a little more—a date night here and there, a 24-hour getaway to San Antonio and so on. Happily, I found a couple of items I’ve been on the hunt for all summer.

June has been a hot one. All of my linen pieces were—and continue to be—in heavy rotation. There were definitely a few repeat favorites this month, especially when it comes to shoes. My white Birkenstock EVAs were definitely the MVP! Here’s some of what I wore.

Whether or not you are a shorts wearer, there are plenty of alternatives for summer to keep you cool and stylish.

I recently shared some of my favorite one-piece swimsuits for summer, and I have some essentials that go along with them for a perfect poolside day!

This month I’ve got a little bit of everything… some fashion, some beauty, some accessories.

I love summertime and my favorite place to be is by the pool. Living in Austin, that’s pretty much the only place to be in the summer! That’s one of the reasons I prefer high-quality swimsuits—because I wear them so frequently.

In a style rut? Check out my three easy ways to refresh your wardrobe!

One of the things I talk about with my clients during closet edits is what belongs in their closets. This isn’t based on any rules I’m projecting onto my clients but more so guidance that I share based on what they’ve told me about their lifestyle as well as their goals for the closet edit. One of the pieces of advice I give is what I like to refer to as “the power of three;” you should be able to wear every piece of clothing in your closet at least three ways.

Noticing a theme with my favorites for April? They’re all things I have to have when the weather starts to heat up.

Last week I participated in the “Spring in My Closet” style challenge put together by Style Thief Fashion and Urbanite | Suburbanite. The idea was that you don’t have to get hung up on spring trends to be stylish this season (or any season, for that matter). The challenge encouraged you to dress for spring with what’s already in your closet, something I am a huge proponent of doing. Wearing what’s in your closet is a focus not only for how I dress but also for how I work with clients, so I was excited to participate. They created these daily prompts to encourage wearing what’s in your closet for spring:

When it comes to beauty products, I can’t get enough. I love trying new products just as much as I love finding favorites that I can’t live without. So it goes without saying that I live for the Sephora sales. Here’s a sampling of what I got this time around, along with some favorites that I always have on-hand.

I feel like the lucky one. Tickets have been secured for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour! But now it’s time to figure out the outfit… Admittedly, I regularly fall deep into the Eras rabbit hole on Instagram and Swifties are—unsurprisingly—bringing it. Lots of sequins, hot pink and STYLE. What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?

I recently edited my own closet for spring and treated myself to some new tops after setting aside five bags for donations and resale. Whether or not you’ve done some spring cleaning in your closet (and if you haven’t, I can help!), it feels like this time of year has many of us itching to add a few new things…

Like many women I know, I spent (wasted) more time than I’d care to admit wishing the size labels in my clothing were a smaller number. It took me until I reached my 40s to stop being so hung up on clothing sizes…

Here are a few of my favorites from the month, fashion and beyond…
