Pink For Fall

Pink is THE color for fall 2022 and I am very much here for it! 

This more muted, but still fun, trend comes after a summer of #BarbieCore moments and surprisingly, it’s so versatile!

Pink pairs perfectly with all shades of brown and I also love it styled against burgundy. So whether you go head-to-toe with a monochromatic look, or just add a pop of pink with an accessory, you’ll feel very on-trend!

And while a pink wool coat or luxe cashmere sweater may be a seasonal splurge, not everything has to break the bank. Check out my favorite pieces below. Some of which are from your favorite retailers like Target, Loft, and H&M!

Happy fall! (Finally)

March Moodboard & Kelly Green Styles

Hello March! 

For this moodboard I obviously chose the color of the season, kelly green, as my inspiration because it's fun and bright, and literally everywhere! I don't know how flattering it would be on me but I still love the idea of having a bag or shoe in this color and mixing it with all my neutrals. 

This month, I want to simplify life. I tend to overthink a lot and let little things make me anxious so I added in some self care quotes. I also want to de-clutter my closet and have more of a staple wardrobe with simple, nicer pieces. I say this all the time but I'm really going to try now!

February Moodboard (Wallpapers)

Happy February!

Working in fashion, it is officially the start of the spring quarter for me. I'm seeing all the new and upcoming launches of bright colors, florals, mini dresses, and sandals. So it's safe to say I'm already over winter. Luckily, January went by fast and our days in NY are getting a little longer again.

When I think of February, I think of everything lovely. Flowers, tasty treats, dainty details, and lots of pink! This is easily one of my favorite inspo-collages to date. It's a mix of darks and lights, simple, girly, and a little sassy!

I definitely feel a certain vibe or aesthetic for each month and tend to bring that out in what I shop for, how I dress, and activities I do. And whatever that feeling is, I pin the heck out of it on Pinterest. So I decided to start taking those feelings and inspirations, and putting them together into monthly moodboards. Everyone creates these for the new year, but being a Libra I am very indecisive and change my mind and feelings constantly, so one board isn't going to feel the same to me for an entire year. 

I hope you enjoy the Feb moodboard and feel free to save and use it for your own desktop and phone wallpapers. If you do, tag me on Instagram! I created versions with and without the month so they can be used at any time.

2022 Moodboard

New Year, new blogging.

I've had this same blog since 2015 (wild!) and it has certainly changed vibes over the years. Once I graduated college, I started a very busy corporate job and

had the lovely stress of moving apartments in NYC a couple of times. While I was still shopping a lot and styling outfits for work or different occasions, I lost the energy and motivation to take 'good enough' pictures, writing posts, etc. but the interest and creative ideas were still there.

What I'm starting now is taking this re-branded blog as a casual hobby, which is what it has always been. Losing the pressure of needing professional photos or getting a lot of follows/views. It will be nice to have a creative outlet again and be able to put all my ideas and finds somewhere.

I like to create wallpapers every once in a while to remind myself what my goals (big or small) are and of overall inspiration for life, home, and style. Here is my moodboard for the upcoming year and some of my goals and ideas for it.

⋆ Self care, and more of it. Lemon water, skincare, sleep.
⋆ Enjoying more of the little things. Flowers, iced coffee, wine.

⋆ Drink more espresso martinis!
⋆ Take more time off. I never used to use my PTO if I didn't have anything planned. Just to sit in my apartment and watch TV? I might as well work. However, I felt like I deserved to use up all my PTO this year so when it was hitting the deadline, I took off weeks at a time for no planned reason and it felt really great! I got to sleep more, cuddle my dog more, and reset. I will definitely be taking more days here and there just because.
⋆ Travel more, anywhere. Just getting out of the city more whether that's more time Upstate, more beach trips, or whatever.

⋆ The quotes speak for themselves.

I also like to make a few versions with different feels and color schemes to use depending on my mood. Here's my pink, girly, bright one and some mobile wallpapers I currently have set on my phone.
