2025: Earth x Fashion
We’re officially riding the 2025 wave, stepping into February as new versions of ourselves. What style are you embodying to start this year? By the end of the year we’ll be different people, evolved by all that life had to give us, and take from us. It’s comforting to see that the collective trend is…

The REAL Boho Chic
If you Google ‘Boho Chic,’ you’ll see countless photos of Bohemian wear, but there’s nothing chic about it. So, what is chic? By definition, it means elegantly and stylishly fashionable. Key word: Elegant. The reason I love Boho Chic is because it takes a flowy, almost messy look and makes it elegant. I have no clue…

Craft Your Heart Out
In the last blog, I discussed how promoting well-known brands like Zara is not demure, not even a little mindful. So, we’re going to use those fast fashion brands as inspiration for what to look for when shopping sustainably. Thrifting is only the first step in creating the perfect wardrobe. I’ve previously touched on ways…

Zara Favorites, or Easy Thrifters?
I continue to promote brands without sponsorship, partly because I’m not yet focused on monetizing this project, and also because I refuse to accept money from unethical brands. Ideally, I’d love to have affiliate links for the brands I genuinely love, but my preferences are evolving. While I’ve always been fond of Zara’s items, it’s…

Coastal Cowgirl Closet from Amazon
I first became aware of the Coastal Cowgirl aesthetic last year but it’s really taken off in 2024. It’s a sense of earthy style that also says, I am more relaxed than you… by a mile. I absolutely love the accessories that go along with being a horse girl. The silver turquoise jewelry, the high…

We have hit a point of multiple trends colliding in the fashion universe, creating a multiverse where all the trends are existing Now. This is such a sweet spot to be…

Summer Days without the Summer Rays
It’s taken a long time for a brand to make me second guess buying another pair of Ray-Bans, but I fear for them that time has come. I will always love Ray Bans; some of their classics are irreplaceable. However, they’ve mass produced so many styles that I can’t even find my favorites anymore! Most…

Basics We Can’t Live Without
We’ve been prepping for summer since the year started, and now we’re finally here. Let’s round up our basics. Nostalgia immerses me whenever I see Capris, again. They were the top tier pant of 2005 and I think they deserve a spot at the top once again. We didn’t have to worry about pants trailing…

Boy Stuff: Gifts That He’ll Love
Given that I rarely blog about men’s style, I made this list extra long. Browsing men’s wear is interesting. No matter what genre of men you’re shopping for, you’ll be able to find him something here. I’ve used brands every man loves, because all men are so similar, they like adventure, and they want to…

Femme Sneakers for Every Occasion
This curated list comes after discovering some of the most groundbreaking shoes this year. I’d be surprised if this collection ever went out of style given their essence of classic trend. They seem to have a piece of every past life I’ve lived. I remember owning all silver Barbie shoes in kindergarten and then adidas…
