my everyday essentials: a soft girl’s guide to what I actually use.
If you’ve ever watched one of my vlogs and found yourself wondering, “What gloss is that?” or “Where’s that candle from?” — then this post is absolutely for you. I’ve thoughtfully put together a special little corner of the internet where you can easily find every single one of the things I genuinely use, wear, and consistently reach for on repeat in my daily life.

There’s something about getting dressed in New York City that makes you rethink your entire wardrobe.
You can leave your apartment in the morning for a coffee run and somehow end up walking three miles, sitting in a café for two hours, running errands, meeting a friend for dinner, and making an impromptu stop somewhere you’ve never been before. Your clothes have to keep up with you.
And honestly? I think getting older has changed the way I think about getting dressed, too.
In my 20s, I was much more willing to buy something simply because I thought it was cute. These days, I want my clothes to be cute and comfortable. I want pieces that can be worn five different ways, shoes I can actually walk in, and a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier instead of more complicated.
