The Woman Who Flirts with Life
Actually learning not to take everything so seriously.
It causes fine lines and unnecessary stress.
I am young and in a primal age of life for discovery.
Freedom is not meant to be so serious. The peace of it can come with music, sunburn, and laughter that carries into the night.
Not a chase of balance - but a dance.
In this day and age, it is a luxury that we can willingly afford ourselves. Recently, I got a new comforter set for my bed. It is Pure White and absolutely stunning! I have a royal blue bed frame so I wanted my sheets to really pop and give it that flair. Especially with the Snow White Winter season coming up. I'm getting a bit carried away here.
It was an affordable upgrade in my personal space that I frequent daily, that I have loved!
Just this one small change made a huge impact, not only in my physical comfort but visual and internal comfort.
"Peace can be playful too."
Drink: Passionfruit margarita, chilled and just a little messy around the rim
Perfume: Citrus, coconut water, sun-warmed skin
Style/Scene: Soft linen, open back, easy confidence
The Woman Who Dresses for Herself
Fashion is the love language.
A great outfit will change her entire mood. Her entire day. She dresses for the version of herself that she is becoming - not for who is watching.
Her style shifts with her mood - sometimes boho and undone, sometimes structured. Tailored. Sharp.
She doesn't need a reason to wear linen or heels on vacation.
"Her best accessory is how she feels in her own skin."
Take heed to my most recent outfit, yesterday afternoon -
- Top: Emerald Green Chiffon Blouse with a Neck Strap at Top Hem
- This stunning piece was a gem from Zara! I tied the attached strap into a bow
at my nape to give it that extra flair. This is one of my favorite tops that I have.
It is a elevated standout piece that effortlessly turns your outfit up a notch.
You can build many outfits off of this one piece, formal, streetwear, etc. - Bottoms: Wide-Legged Flare Bottoms
- I got these free legged pants from none other than SheIn. Shame me not, I do enjoy fast fashion. These were a stunning find for an affordable price. I initially purchased them for my birthday back in January of 2023. My sister and I went to a cabin in the mountains of Georgia, we had such a great time! I'm getting a bit side tracked here. These are a statement piece that gives your outfit a story to tell in every step. You will honestly feel like you're gliding or swaying. Queen of the night! - Shoes: Open-Toe Black + Brown Block Heels
- The outfit was complete with a swanky pair of wooden block heels from Steve Madden. I am a huge fan of block heels, as the stability is unmatched for a stiletto-fearing babe like me. FAD, stylish, all while still keepin your womanhood in tact. Paired with the elongated, wide-legged bottoms, these heels kept me up and stable all day. Since the hem on the pant was on the longer side (along with the fact that I am 5'3ft), the heels gave me a few extra inches off the floor and kept my pants from dragging along the streets of the city. That, is not hot. All in all, though they were unseen they did the job. A cross of the leg unveiled these beauties. - Accessories: Cheetah Print Reading Glasses (Non-prescription, Bluelight lens) + Wooden Circular Earrings for a snazzy contrast, Multi-color Bangles
- Now cake is not complete without the cherry on top. Accessories are a fashion girl's best friend! For this look, it gave me elegance meets streetwear chic with a bit of NYC style influence. To radiate that edge, I picked up my wooden earrings and multi-color bangles. I wanted to choose a dangle type of earring to bring a spotlight to my ears along with the bow-sprouted top. Little Bo Peep. Hello Kitty-esque. The bangles gave a chic contrast to my royal blue nails and tied all of the colors in the outfit together. My cheetah print glasses were an on/off statement that gave an approachable aspect to the story that was: me.
Drink: Pineapple Love margarita
Perfume: Oceanesque, blue breeze, clean
Style: Soft blouse, creative touch, city skylines
The Woman Who Writes Her Own Rules
She's learned to stop explaining herself.
Sometimes she works late; sometimes she books a pilates class. A little unpredictable, but never unsure.
She flirts with possibility - a new city, a new scent, a new menu item.
She's not chasing "forever" - she's learning to love the now.
She knows the beauty in temporary - a weekend romance, a great conversation, a glance across the pool, a well made drink.
It's not about ownership, but energy.
"Not every connection needs a label; some are meant to be a feeling."
Drink: Espresso martini before dinner, sipped with a smile that says she is the author of her own reality
Perfume: Amber, vanilla, a whisper of smoke
Style/Scene: Black satin slip dress, gold hoops
The Woman Who Lets Go
There comes a time where she decides to stop overthinking. Finally.
She laughs, unclenches, cries, and comes at peace.
She then pours an occasional scotch, after feeling and soberly healing.
Healthy, balanced. Just a girl.
She realizes that she doesn't need to control everything to feel safe.
She flirts with her insecurities - not to hide them, but to disarm them. She wears them lightly, the way she wears perfume: present, but never overpowering.
Her peace isn't quiet - it's real.
"Let go, let God."
Drink: Sparkling rose, maybe from someone else's glass, shared mid-laughter with someone who makes her forget the time
Perfume: Bergamot, white musk, rain on warm pavement
Style/Scene: White shirt slipping off one shoulder, barefoot on a balcony, hair still dampy from the shower
The Woman in Motion
She's soft but decisive, sexy but grounded and not driven by it.
Her rituals are sensual but sacred - skincare, scent, music, long walks, spa sounds to lull to sleep. White robe, white comforter set. Wash it daily to keep it clean.
Her wellness isn't performative - it's private, personal, and a little indulgent. I mean with the times that we are in..it is pivotal to take care of yourself. However possible.
She believes that discipline and pleasure can coexist.
"Her glow comes from ease, not effort".
Drink: Iced matcha latte after Pilates or glass of chilled chardonnay as the day ends
Perfume: Neroli, sandalwood, clean linen
Style/Scene: Flowing white dress, minimal jewelry, slow morning light through the curtains
The Woman Who Loves
She's open to love - real love, messy love, gentle love - but she no longer sees it as the prize.
The prize, is the life that she's created,
the calm that she carries,
and the way she shows up for herself no matter who's watching.
She might meet someone on this "retreat" called life,
but even if she doesn't, she's already found something better - herself.
Not to get too emotional here beloveds, but this author is full of love overflowing. Without shame or regret. That is key as a being in this world. Especially as a woman. The Woman.
We were put on this earth to be loving, caring, and nurturing. I guess you can say it's a duty for us girls. Though that can be tough at times, it's something to help guide this unruly life.
Not to go all Mother Mary here, but it remains. Times before, times here and later.
No matter what happens, give love. Show love. To others, but most importantly to yourself.
Be kind.
Drink: Dirty martini, extra olives - a quiet toast to her own company
Perfume: Rose, patchouli, skin warmth
Style/Scene: Silky robe, candlelight, a record spinning softly - the city humming outside.
The Woman is not about reinvention - it's about remembering who you are.
She's Carrie Bradshaw in her self-care era, Ana Steele with boundaries, and Miranda Priestly with taste - ambitious, composed, unbothered, loved.
She doesn't need saving.
She's already free.
"The Woman doesn't chase peace - she wears it like perfume."
