Style, Aesthetic, and the Algorithm: Oh My. This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the style squad dives headfirst into the ever-blurring line between personal style and curated aesthetics. Are we dressing for ourselves… or just for the ‘gram? With algorithms shaping everything from our scroll to our style, the team unpacks how digital trends influence what we wear—and whether our closets reflect who we are or who the internet wants us to be.

Expect candid fashion confessions, hot takes on trend-chasing, and a few “been there, wore that” moments. Plus, in this week’s “In the News” segment, Bec introduces us to Maud Wagner—circus performer turned trailblazer, and the first known American female tattoo artist circa 1877. Now that’s permanent style.

Tune in for part one of the Style vs. Aesthetic: Are We Dressing for Ourselves or the Algorithm? Conversation and get ready for a style identity check-in that’s as real as it gets. Happy Listening!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re going Skin Deep—and yes, Stacy’s literally joining us from inside a closet. We’re airing out more than just clothes in this jam-packed episode that blends style, self-care, and a little soul-searching. In “Bec’s in the News,” we unpack a fresh take on wardrobe and life clutter: Dissolving. It’s the new wave of wellness that digs deeper than decluttering—less about what you’re getting rid of, and more about why you’re holding on. Whether it’s your closet, your home, or your headspace, this four-step process helps you clean with clarity. Emotional baggage, begone!

And speaking of cleansing… we welcome special guest Brook Kennedy, owner of Suite B Hair and Skin Lounge in Issaquah. She gives us the glow down on all things’ skincare from SPF facts (spoiler: the sunscreen in your makeup probably isn’t enough), to how your skincare should shift with the seasons of life. We also get the truth about dermaplaning—does the hair grow back thicker, and how often should you do it?

So, grab your gua sha and your emotional inventory—we’re scrubbing the surface and what’s underneath. Because when it comes to style and skincare, the glow must go on. Happy Listening!

This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re digging deep—literally and figuratively—into fashion’s past and future. In our "In the News" segment, we marvel at a medieval bishop’s ring, lost for centuries and recently unearthed in a Norfolk field. With its hexagonal sapphire, emeralds, and garnets set in pristine gold, it’s a reminder that great style (and great jewelry) is meant to be worn, no matter what the century.

But while history is dazzling, the future is calling—specifically, the Spring/Summer 2025 fashion trends. This season is throwing subtlety out the window in favor of a bold, personality-driven style. Quiet luxury? It’s stepping aside to make room for pattern clashing, retro influences, and a fresh take on summer plaid. Think beige, black, and baby blue checks—somewhere between Nirvana grunge and countryside charm.

And that’s not all—expect coastal prep done right (not just nautical stripes) and sporty sensibility outerwear that’s as practical as it is stylish. The big question: will SS25 finally show Stacy some love, or is she destined for another season-long breakup? Happy Listening!

Step aside, Mona Lisa—Birkenstocks tried to take a step into the art world, but Germany’s high court wasn’t buying it—literally! This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we unpack the legal battle where Birkenstock argued their shoes were art, only to be told they’re just… shoes. (Ouch!) Love them or loathe them, the case had us wondering: when it comes to this iconic (yet divisive) footwear, is it frumpy or fabulous? And more broadly—is all fashion art, or just function?

Then, we trade footwear for follicles as Kat, "The Queen of Kutz" from Salon 8 in Bellevue joins us to talk Spring/Summer 2025 hair trends. Say goodbye to cool, icy tones and those trendy but tired mushroom blondes—this season, it’s all about warmth! Think sun-kissed soft blondes, rich chocolatey brunettes that add glow to your skin, and an effortless, polished vibe that says “put together” without screaming high maintenance.

As for the cut of the moment? The Pixie is back! With sharp lines that lift the face, it’s a bold, fresh look making waves. And for the gents? It’s all about intentional grooming—because looking effortlessly sharp takes a little strategy.

Tune in for style, sass, and expert hair tips that will keep you ahead of the trend curve. From Birkenstocks to blowouts, we’ve got you covered!

When it comes to standing ovations, Anna Wintour keeps her claps close—so close, in fact, she’s only given five since 2019. This week, Wisdom from the Wardrobe kicks off with the fashion queen’s measured applause before diving into a different kind of head-turning mastery: men’s grooming.

We’re joined by Jimmy and Chad, the barbers behind The Grooming Lounge, one of Bellevue’s best-kept secrets for precision fades, sharp shape-ups, and premium personal barbering. Fun fact? Jimmy happens to be Bruce’s barber—cue the bromance and plenty of laughs.

From swirl patterns and mullets to why a fade isn’t just a fade, we break down the art of barbering, the rise of personalized grooming, and why a great cut is more than just looking sharp—it’s an experience. Tune in for tips, trends, and maybe even a new look!

Lace Up, We’re Back for Round Two!  This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we’re seeing style through a new lens—literally!

The rapper, style icon, and now eyewear innovator is stepping into a bold new role, proving once again that vision is everything, especially when it comes to fashion.

Then, we walked the talk and picked up where we left off last time, diving even deeper into the perfect shoe pairings for different wardrobe staples. From sleek stilettos with pencil skirts to combat boots with pleats, plus the best footwear for guys rocking intentional baggy jeans, we’ve got the ultimate guide to nailing your look from head to toe. Whether you're stepping out in pointy-toe flats or stomping in lug soles, we’ve got the sole-utions for your styling dilemmas.

Stepping up your style games this week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we flipped the script—literally! Bec spun her usual “In the News” segment on its head, delivering fresh Bec-omendations and a new bit called “That’s News to Me.” The standout? Head spas. Yes, you read that right. It’s a thing, it’s luxurious, and now we all want one.

Then, we took a step in the right direction with our main style topic: What shoes actually go with your outfit? From pairing the perfect heels or boots with a satin skirt for effortless elegance to choosing the right footwear for wide-leg jeans or even those tricky flares, we covered the sole essentials. Plus, we touched on the Wrong Shoe Theory—because sometimes, breaking the rules is the best fashion move.

So much to discuss, so little time! We’ll be back next time with even more shoe-and-silhouette matchups. Until then, walk this way for a style-packed episode!

Move over Pumpkin Spice—Pantone’s Color of the Year is serving Mocha Mousse... and let’s just say, the team isn’t exactly foaming at the mouth over this one. In this week’s episode, we serve our thoughts on this muddy little number and stir up a conversation about the full Spring/Summer 2025 color palette. From Bran to Deja Vu Blue, Crocus to Lime Cream, Pantone promises a mix of earthy, exotic, and eco-inspired hues, but did they really deliver the color cocktail of our dreams? Or is this palette more meh than masterpiece?

Plus, in our style and sustainability corner, Bec brings us a fascinating breakthrough from MIT—a new biodegradable material made from sugar and amino acids to replace microplastics like the beads in skincare. Science meets self-care? We’re intrigued.

Join us for a hue-larious discussion as we dissect, debate, and, of course, serve a little shade on the latest color trends. Hit play and let’s get chromatically chaotic! Happy Listening
