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)

A winter capsule outfit idea: a black blazer, a cozy knit dress, and deep berry tights 🍷

I wore this recently and I still can’t get it off my mind. It’s effortless, elegant and easy to dress up and down, especially for the holiday season! I tagged similar options for the dress, tights, and blazer below ❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKdayinmylife #LTKHoliday

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!) ❄️

Pairing it with some denim? Even better 💙

My sweater is originally from Francesca’s and I’ve always gotten compliments wearing it anywhere I go. I linked it below + other cute dupes as well!

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

It’s one of those pieces that always feels effortlessly elevated - cozy, feminine, and just a little romantic. I love pairing mine with dark-wash denim for a clean, polished winter outfit look.

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.

Denim skirts and knee-high boots will always be a constant fall trend in my book. It’s the kind of pairing that transitions effortlessly from cozy daytime outings to festive evening plans.

OOTD: This oversized houndstooth sweater paired with a ribbed skirt feels festive without being over the top. It’s a little different than usual but I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with oversized knits and ended up liking the way this looked. Linking similar pieces so you can try it too ☕️

I love big sweater, big pants season, especially as a thanksgiving outfit (I still kept my signature heel + small purse combo though!)

For an oversized fit, I prefer to size up several sizes, especially with the sweater.

I’ve been rewearing this trench coat to almost every networking event this season, and it never fails to elevate an outfit. Even the simplest combo - high-waist trousers and kitten heels - instantly feels more refined.

The best thing about a black maxi dress? It’s an instant fall outfit and a last-minute Halloween costume. Just add a hat and cape for a chic DIY witch look: broom optional 🧙🏻‍♀️

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween

As a (mostly) neutral girl, my fall wardrobe always gravitates toward shades of brown. From deep mocha to soft camel, these hues add warmth and sophistication to any minimalist base 🤎

This Eric Javits bag has quickly become a staple in my rotation. Its rich tone and effortless structure make it the kind of accessory that doesn’t just complete an outfit - it elevates it.

Here’s some chic finds that will elevate your next fit check too ✨

I can’t help but love a good gym fit, especially as the days start to cool down. There’s something about sleek activewear that feels both comfortable and put-together, even as a fall outfit.

Plus, it’s one of the easiest looks to style and layer as we move further into fall and winter 🖤
