A goal for me in 2025 is to really lean into my personal style and be more creative with my outfits. I think I’ve been in a bit of a rut for a while, relying on online inspiration to help me curate looks. And while there is nothing wrong with that—and I’ll absolutely keep being inspired by others— I also really want to step outside of my comfort zone and wear crazy, wild and creative outfits that ✨ feel ✨ like me. This is a prime example!

#LTKMostLoved

And so January has come to an end. This month was, well, weird. Like many of you, I’ve been feeling incredibly anxious about the state of the world, but at the same time, this very well may have been my most exciting month in my personal life in a very, very long time. It’s odd to feel so scared and so lucky all at the same time. But I think that’s the best say to describe my January. Here is a little recap.
1. Sometimes my depression brings with it emotional blunting. I took this picture today in a moment where I actually fully felt happy. And that, that’s huge!
2. A perfect cup of Italian espresso with some frothed cream in my new pink Valentine’s Day mug. The handle and an indent in the mug form a heart! It is so cute!
3-4. My dad and me practicing archery in our backyard! It took a few quivers, but we eventually both hit the Apple!
5. A few tiny things on my bookshelf. I took this picture to help my boyfriend fully understand the gravity of my obsession for tiny trinkets!
6-7. My copy of Onyx Storm and me and my friend @_jessica_burroughs_ at an incredibly unhinged midnight release party for OS! I’m so glad we did this!
8. Some chocolate chip cookies I baked for the ladies in the office because stuff has been hectic and we needed a treat!
9. The Valentine’s Day card I’m making for my partner! He’s a big tea drinker, and as a certified craft girlie, I thought this was such a fun artsy card!
10. My Dad cutting my hair for me. He’s really the only “hairdresser” I’ve ever trusted.
11. A whimsical winter outfit from my upcoming YouTube video.
12. Finally, me sitting on my floor crying after my partner said the most thoughtful and validating thing in the world to me. I genuinely felt a massive insecurity of mine start to melt away. To be cared for so well is a blessing I will never take for granted. 💕
🎶I picked “Yellow” by Coldplay as the song for this post because I’ve been listening to it on repeat as of late.
✨
And that’s a wrap the on January. I’m hoping February is just as good to me and this good for you! 💕

In 2025, we are celebrating every single win, big or small! We closed out last year by hitting 7,000 subscribers of my YouTube channel. I’m beyond grateful for every single person who comes back week after week, month after month, despite how chaotic the schedule and I can be. I truly love making my little fashion videos, sharing what I’m reading, and taking you along with me on my travel adventures! Thank you for caring and thank you so much for supporting me after all these years! Also, thank you to my mom for making this coffee cake to help me celebrate! 🎉🎂

Oh what a magical sight to behold. We woke up to a blanket of snow this Little Christmas. I had planned to whip out my little knitted witch hat and do a La Befana (the Italian Christmas witch) shoot in the snow, but alas, I couldn’t find it. It worked out, I think, though, cause these little frog earmuffs are arguably the cutest things I’ve bought in ages.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! An annual rewatch of “Teen Wolf” is the newest addition to my “-ber” season regiment. I genuinely love this show so much. It’s chaotic, painful, and fantastical and tells a stunning story of found family and self-acceptance. It doesn’t hurt that Tyler Posey is also one of my favorite artists and a top tier celebrity crush for me.

Have you ever been to a convention?
🖤
Today I went to my first ever convention. It was Collect-A-Con in RVA. There were so many Pokémon, Anime and Funko Pop vendors. There were also some incredible artisans. I ended up getting myself a miniature crystal Toothless, a 3D printed Wyvern and a painting for Kiki and Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service. It was so much fun to dress in costume (I went as Violet Sorrengail, which was low-key not in theme, but also, who cares?) and explore all the shops with my family. And so many other people dressed in incredible cosplays! I’m excited to see what other cons I end up at in the future! 🖤

To say I love this outfit may not be strong enough. Haha. There is something so beautiful about finding a look that makes you feel confident when you’re in the midst of a doubt spiral, and that’s exactly what this is for me.
✨What is your go-to confidence boosting look?

The scariest thing I’ve ever done is decide to live for myself. Growing up, I was always the one people excepted would do something big. And while it’s an honor to have so much faith put in me, it also lead to me making decisions about my life based on if it would make others happy with or proud of me.
✨
To be completely honest, I think this is what lead to my recent identity crisis. For the first time, I realized I needed to start making decisions about my life for myself. Not because they would make me “look successful” or prove that I could live up to people’s expectations of me. I needed to make decisions because they fueled my passion, creativity and happiness.
✨
This journey I’m on has been difficult, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve questioned my own judgement in the last month. But it’s also been so full of joy. Choosing myself has allowed me to flourish in my creativity, really evaluate what brings me joy, and reflect on what I want my life to look like.
✨
For all of you who are also searching for something, take heart and remain hopeful. Trust your instincts and follow your joy. I heard someone say once, “If you’re really passionate about something, but it also scares the hell out of you, run as hard as you can towards it.”
✨
I’ll see you at the finish line, friends. 💕

I’m sorry but this song!! THIS SONG! This one is for every single one of us who have been told we are too much or we’re being dramatic! Maybe we’re being dramatic on purpose! Ever thought of that? Lol jk jk. Also as a certified Queen super fan I am obsessed with Spencer’s sound! 😍

I grew up in a house where I was constantly reminded not to let anyone else steal my joy. This audio offers the same sentiment. Stop trying to shrink yourself to appease small mindedness and judgmental behavior. Be as big and bold and creative as your little heart desires, because like my dad always says, “No one can take away your joy but you.” Don’t give other people that power. 💕

I recently heard someone use the phrase “dopamine dressing” and was instantly curious about the concept. Admittedly, I learned that it’s not all that complicated. It’s the idea of only wearing clothes that make you happy, therefore boosting your dopamine production. This world is so chaotic and filled for darkness and judgement. And as difficult as it is to accept, it’ll always be this way. So, you might as well spend your time doing what you love and wearing what makes you happy, even if other people don’t understand it.

Sometimes I think about how people in the 18th and 19th centuries would go to the ocean when they were ill and hope the sea air would encourage healing, and I wonder why we ever stopped doing that.

Thanks to @abercrombie for sending me this ✨g o u r g e o u s ✨ navy and white Mara button up sweater vest! It’s exactly the sort of old money meets coastal granddaughter style I’m going for this summer! Pairing it with this linen prairie skit and simple pearl jewelry also adds a level of airiness and sophistication to this look that I simply adore. Head to my bio for the link to my Abercrombie storefront. (This vest is currently on sale, so if you want it, run, don’t walk!) #abercrombiepartner #fitcheck

I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a set of photos I’ve taken of myself more. The concept for this shoot was to capture the essence of a fairy princess who is coming to terms with the gravity of her future role of Queen. I wanted to illustrate the whole range of emotions one can feel when faced with their reality: fear, excitement, anxiety, joy, and acceptance.
