When you can't wait to try your new vintage champa

When you can't wait to try your new vintage champagne glasses, so you drink seltzer out of them! This week has felt very frazzled and overwhelming so far. I'm trying to find simple ways to perk myself up. Sipping seltzer and tea is a start ✨

Woke up to a whole lot of fluffy white stuff! ❄️🤍 Did that inspire me to sprint outside with my camera at 4am? Maybe...

Life can be stressful. Sometimes you just have to decorate slices of dried fruit and turn them into ornaments. 🍎🍋🍊✨

It seems like there are 3 camps when a new year begins:

❄️ The resolution-makers
❄️ The resolution-scoffers
❄️ The resolution-indifferent

Which are you? I've made a pretty long but interconnected list of resolutions this year, based on what I've been working on for a few years now. Nothing too new/novel. But I'm excited to keep evolving and growing and trying to be better (while still very much appreciating life as it is). Tell me one of your resolutions!

Just eeking out my last vlogmas episode before the year ends! 🙃 The festive series comes to a head with DIY and crafting, covid tests, and a very chill Xmas eve.

🎄 Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5yjiYpslQ

❣️ Slide 2: Thank you!

❣️ Slide 3: A BTS look at what it takes to edit one of these. 😅 Btw, if someone showed me this screenshot and said I'd have to do "this much" to edit vlogs, I'd never even try. It looks ridiculous! But this is what most of them look like while editing. Hundreds of clips.

I'm glad I didn't know much tedious work it would require because I love doing this, and I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot a few years ago. It's become one of my favorite hobbies. Highly recommended, even if you only document occasionally.

My favorite recent project = a mini vignette I call "working from home on Xmas Eve". 🎄☕💻 I painted the desk and bought the minis to assemble the setup, with the exception of the present, which I made from scratch. This attempts to capture the duality of festivity and chaos that comes with working in fashion during the holidays. But mostly it's just for fun, because I L-O-V-E minis 😍🎀
