Hi there, I’m Chrissy - it’s so nice to e-meet you!

Welcome to my little slice of the internet, where minimalism and maximalism meet. Here, you’ll find the balance between clean, timeless essentials and bold, expressive details.

I love to share styling inspiration, vintage and thrifted finds, elevated yet affordable dupes under $100, and ways to create a wardrobe that feels both intentional and personal.

Whether you lean minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, you’re always welcomed here 🤍

(p.s. I added as many dupes as I can for this one as I couldn’t find the originals on LTK)

Winter outfit idea: I love a good cozy knit and this off-the-shoulder sweater will always do it for me (it also kept me pretty warm!) ❄️

You can argue with me on this, but I’ll never let go of the off-the-shoulder chunky white knit 🤍

Holiday outfit inspo: the little white dress (Christmas edition) 🎄🤍

There’s something so timeless about a white dress during the holiday season - it’s elegant, fresh, and stands out beautifully against all the deep winter tones. Style it with cozy textures, a statement coat, or your favorite heels to make it festive without overdoing it.
