Busbee Style

I was 42 years old when I missed a period and thought I was pregnant. The bloodwork told a much different story. My FSH (follicle stimulating hormones) were at menopausal levels. I was in total shock. I sat in my car gripping the steering wheel, sobbing. I felt a wave of loss and grief — the loss of youth, of purpose, of health. It was overwhelming. This was 9 years ago, and at the time, nobody was really talking about it. Nobody handed me a roadmap.

I know how much you want to look current and put-together…and I also know you don’t have time to scroll through every fashion magazine or track what celebrities are wearing this week. No worries. I’ve got you covered. The jean story for 2026? Slim-straight. In this post, I’m breaking down exactly what the slim-straight jean is and the shoes that look incredible with them.

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale just went live and full disclosure…it’s a lot. Thousands of items, endless scrolling, and that nagging feeling you’re going to miss the one thing worth buying. But, don’t worry because I did it for you. I went through everything and hand picked only the finds that are genuinely worth knowing about. The ones that made me do a double take especially for the price.

Summer dressing is trickier than it looks. Shorts that feel too short, dresses that don’t flatter the way you hoped, tanks that leave you feeling more exposed than comfortable. And somehow a closet full of clothes and still nothing to wear. Sound familiar? The answer isn’t more clothes… it’s the right clothes. Think clean lines, neutral tones, flattering silhouettes…very 90’s Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy energy. These are pieces that make getting dressed feel easy instead of exhausting.

Updating your jeans is one of the easiest ways to make your whole wardrobe feel more modern. But not every jean trend is worth your time or money. Trends move fast. Gone by next season. You don’t have time for that, and honestly? Neither do I. So I’m only highlighting the denim trends with real staying power. The ones you’ll actually love wearing, that fit right into your existing wardrobe. These five trends are cool, wearable, and flattering on real bodies. Let’s get into it.

You planned every detail of that special upcoming trip. I planned your special outfits. Now, all you have to do is add them to your suitcase. Here’s the thing — what you wear on vacation really matters. You spend so much time planning the flights, the hotel, the itinerary. And then you get there and spend the whole trip feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable in your clothes. That feeling can quietly color the entire experience. So I did the work for you.

Do you want to completely transform your outfit but not overthink it, change 10 times, or buy a zillion new clothes? Yes, please. Well, the solution is surprisingly simple… accessories. Accessories can upgrade your look in an instant, yet they’re often the most overlooked pieces in our wardrobes. The right necklace, belt, or pair of sunglasses can modernize even the simplest outfit.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to over 40 countries. I’ve had breakfast overlooking the stunning cliffs of Positano on the Amalfi Coast. I’ve wandered the souks and spice markets of vibrant Marrakech. Last year I made the trek to the remote and breathtaking Alphonse Island in the Seychelles. I thought I had a pretty good sense of what “breathtaking” looked like. And then I went to Bora Bora. Nothing fully prepares you for it. Not the photos, not the travel blogs.

You found your unicorn pair of super flattering white jeans — yay! Now the question is…what do you wear with them? Here’s the great news. White jeans are incredibly versatile and neutral and will work effortlessly with so many pieces in your closet. Below I’m sharing three go-to outfit combinations I keep coming back to — each one for a different occasion, all of them easy to recreate. Before we dive into the looks, I want to make sure you see my favorite white jean picks here.

If your social media feed looks anything like mine, you know that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s style is having a major resurgence right now — and I’m here for it! Between the buzz around the FX series, Love Story, and the flood of old photos making the rounds, a whole new generation is discovering what made Carolyn so magnetic. But I don’t think it’s just nostalgia. I think we are drawn to the simplicity of her style partly because of the world we’re living in right now.
