Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I want to thank you all for your support this past year! It’s been a year of deep learning, healing, and growth for me. I’ve come to see how much of the way we move through life is shaped by learned behaviors and self-protection…patterns we develop to feel safe or accepted.

This year showed me, through trial and error, what isn’t aligned with who I truly am. I don’t see these experiences as failures but rather as teachers. Each one stripped away another layer and called me back to myself, reminding me to stay true to what feels right in my spirit.

As I move into 2026, I’m choosing to live more honestly and intentionally. That means leaning into the things that light me up…fashion both new and vintage, cooking, and creating beautiful spaces in our home. These passions feel like an extension of my growth…a way of expressing who I am and sharing it with you.

I’m trusting the quiet inner guidance that’s led me here, letting go of what no longer works, and allowing what’s meant for me to unfold. Thank you for being part of my journey…I’m so very grateful for you and excited for what’s ahead

And…outfit details because this one feels especially right. I’m wearing a green suede Veronica Beard blazer that Baldy bought for me while were in New York (I knew when I saw it that I had to have it), a boho lace top from Mango (similar here), and Veronica Beard skinny flare jeans that fit so well they remind me why I’ll always be a jeans girl. Finished with my favorite pearl cross necklace from Julie Miles, brown suede Jimmy Choo booties and a tiny Givenchy pony hair bag (similar here and less expensive here). The blazer is a dicky blazer which means I can purchase different dickies that zip into it. I already have a couple and love wearing them because they totally change the look of the blazer, making it even more versatile!

Comfortable, confident, and not trying too hard…this is what “me” looks like going forward…that’s exactly the direction I’m heading in 2026.

I’ll be taking tomorrow and maybe Friday to spend with family and rest! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and make treasured memories! Thank you again for supporting me and for reading today! Merry Christmas!
