This month I realized I have been living in my apartment as if it is temporary, and it has been 7 years. So I am going to take a Marie Kondo approach with the word cozy. Out with the "get it cheap" in with the curated cozy-cohesive vibe.

WFH fit

Words cannot fully cover how much this hair dryer has changed my life.

✨ dries my hair way faster
✨ no longer sweating all over my face and body to dry my hair
✨ curls it as it dries it so I don’t have to curl it after I dry it
✨ all around more efficient, 2 prong; have yet to blow a breaker!

Cannot recommend #sharkflex enough

Love using a few other products as well — rollers for the top prices while I dry the bottom; frizz spray, an incredible oil, and two conditioner layers (like a pea size amount just on the ends).

It’s been a fun journey this year trying new hair things!

Experimenting with baggier denim has been 🤩

in love with this little dining corner 💕

Looking forward to sketching and painting to fill some of these stock photos, and the corner bench seat to put the cherry on top.

Most of the frames came from Home Goods — linking comparable items.

This table extends from 4 > 10 people, and has storage--I’m so grateful to invest in something that can serve so flexibly!

Many of these items I grabbed on sale — so hold out for the sales (hundreds of $$ off)! I did a ton of research, so posting some other items I also had on my watchlist

#LTKHome

Some of my favorite simple finds from this past year 💕

Bur Bur oil smells amazing, and the hairbrush is life changing.

I used this handsoap at a salon and was HOOOOOKED. I somehow found a BOGO sale. It not only smells amazing but has exfoliation.

The Jolie showerhead changed my life. I didn’t know you could physically feel a difference in water but my skin no longer hurts when I get out of the shower.

These toilet tablets smell amazing and come in a cute box. I’ve really liked using Blueland products so far (cleaners and handsoap)

This WOW spray before blow drying hair is 💯 a game changer

It sounds so silly but these alcohol pads are incredibly satisfying. I use them way more than I thought I would to wipe down devices, bottoms of shoes, random things that need cleaning.

The star of my nightstand. I have whatever genetic thing that makes your bottom lip perpetually dry and flaking, lanolin is the ONLY thing I have found to give consistent relief. Adore it and have 4 of them.

Not pictured: sticky tack. Wow has it changed the game. As I’ve been apartment flipping, it has come in handy literally every time— from hanging pictures and Roman shades, to plotting and measuring

My clothes steamer. I love this thing so so so much. Used it for a friends wedding and it saved the day. Also for curtains and tons of other fabric items

Sometimes it’s just the simple things

#LTKHome

I find shelf styling to be incredibly challenging but the rule of 3 is my anchor every time.

found some great items at #target for this spring launch that really added final touches 🫶🏻

I’m calling it the slow down chair 🫶🏻

Casual holiday outfit: oversized wool blazer, skort, black tights, point toe heels booties— simple and perfect 🎄

#LTKHoliday #LTKootd

Highly recommend keeping a pair of silver slingbacks in your shoe closet—- they work so well in all seasons to elevate an outfit!

Loving this simple holiday party fit, especially these comfy navy barrels from #athletica

Such a sweet softie this year, sending that full send female energy with the gold tinsel.

I love her 💕

Exploring a cozy dining corner with banquette for more curated apartment updates. I currently don't have a dining area, so making one will be really fun. I am thinking to find rechargable light bulbs since I don't have the wiring for fixtures.

Tennessee fit check.

I’ve been wearing these Rothy’s clogs for two days, one of which they got some solid walking mileage. I can confidently say they are the most comfortable and supportive shoes I own.

#barreljeans #clogs #southernstyle

Summer delight ✨

- these parachute pants are so light — occasionally on sale so be on the lookout

- knit stripe top that’s giving “Europe”

(*anthro gives you 20%off for your birthday if you have an account!!)

- comfy clearance Rothy’s (they give military, teacher etc. discounts too, if applicable to you!)

- glasses that make you look smart because they are giant, but also turn into sunglasses with one swoop of a magnetic add on.

High key in love with this cropped #crochet sweater from #gap

#LTKSummerEdit

Absolutely loving these comfy, perfect for summer pants from #anthropologie— they are on sale. Swipe them up

Feeling fancy. I wear these #everlane #barreljeans more than most pants in my closet. Love love 💕

#offtheshoulder #muleheels

I found the perfect summer dress thanks to #anthropologie and #varley. Throw in a birthday discount (did you know Anthro gives 20%off for your bday?!) and how do you say no?!

It fits like a dream. Not too tight in the areas you want loose, but somehow still form fitting ✨ a dream. Also in love with these Rothy’s sandals (on sale!) and the perfect summer bag on sale at Gap.

Memorial Day birthdays have perks , eh.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKSummerEdit

Feeling easy breezy today in striped barrel pants and a dark blue guaze button up. These flats bring balance with some structure. So good 🫰🏻

ULTA is having sales this week.

I went in to see what products I could try to help my natural hair- wavy/curly, thin-feel more “kept” after day two.

So far I am LOVING this light as air oil, the wave spray smells amazing, the curl reviver is great, the gel gives it a good hold without feeling like I need to wash it out.

The ULTA staff mentioned to snag this AG shampoo and conditioner half off today, excited to give that a try as well! Posting all the #haircare I bought below!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty

As winter “cools off”, I’m still loving this combo. Feels like such a great Fall, Winter, Spring go to.

Exact blazer is sold out, but I love this oversized wool fit. A boatneck vibe underneath is also 🤌

#LTKSeasonal

Simple #allblackoutfit to let these sling back heels work their magic ✨ a Target 8.99 clearance find

Matching products best I can- added literal but also including current matches

#LTKShoeCrush

Part utility, part femme. Love these #barrel pants.

#gap #barrel #puffsleeve #boots #barreloutfit

No one makes a puff vest like #lululemon. It’s the collar for me.

Don’t sleep on the all black with a touch of brown vibes.

#puffvest #winter #allblack #kickcrop

Got dressed for the first time in weeks. Loving the barrel pants vibe- decided to sauce it up with some snake boots.

This sweater is also INCREDIBLE. I love that it feels and looks knit (because of the air that comes through the weave).

Size Large on the sweater - size up

felt like a good “mullet” outfit kind of day. Business on the top and party on the bottom.

Still loving my bedroom glow-up ✨

Do you ever get dressed and then realize you don’t actually feel the way you’re dressed today? Lol big swapsies but felt a million times better after.

#classic #whitetopjeansbottom #pointedtoe #clogsoutfit #puffsleeve

Dreaming up some bedroom updates. It’s so hard to find affordable and good quality. Also so hard to choose between a more coastal bent or a more “lived in” color of wood. How. To. Decide.
