What's Your Color Season


First off I'm very excited that my little blog got a design upgrade and everything on the back end is working more smoothly! My slider banner at the top is back and related posts at the bottom of each post looks more uniform. I also updated the About Me section which hasn't been done in 5 years! 

Have you heard of a color season analysis? Color analysis is a tool that tells you what colors flatter you most and is based on three factors: your undertone (whether you are warm, cool or neutral), how light or dark your features are, and the contrast level between your hair, skin tone and eye color (this helps to determine the color intensities that suit you the best). 

After evaluation, you are given a color palette that coordinates with one of the four calendar seasons. This is called color theory. When you wear the wrong colored clothes, it makes you look off and unflattering. While you don't have to be strict and only wear the colors in your season, it's a tool to try to shop for those colors to mostly wear colors that flatter you. That way you will always look good in what you wear and have a healthy complexion. You want to aim to wear colors that enhance your natural coloring so you always look fabulous! 

Meghan Markle's Iconic Pale Pink Nails



I've been watching Meghan Markle new show on Netflix With Love, Meghan, where she invites her celebrity friends to cook with her. The show is reminiscent of Martha Stewart as everything is from scratch and often from ingredients in her garden. She told Mindy Kaling that her last name isn't Markle, she should be called Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Fun fact Meghan is her middle name. 

I was completely mesmerized by her beautiful, opaque pale pink nails! The Sussex manicure features the ideal nude, milk bath nails. They are kept short in her signature squoval shape. She has gel nails but I wanted to find some regular polish that looked similar as I'm always on the hunt for the perfect pale pink nail polish. Since her and I have similar skin tones I figure whatever looks good on her would look good on me. 

Dreamy milk bath tones, also known as Soap Nails, are set to be the go-to neutral manicure trend for 2025. These nails have a sleek, clean look with a glossy, high-shine finish that gives off the vibe of polished soap. Think soft, neutral shades that create a smooth, flawless surface. It's a style that perfectly complements a minimalist fashion vibe. Soap nails are quickly becoming the go-to for anyone looking for a chic, sophisticated manicure.

Miami Beach Travel Guide


From the iconic candy-colored lifeguard towers to sleek beachfront hotels, rooftop bars, and immersive art museums, Miami Beach is packed with energy and style. South Beach is especially famous for its Art Deco vibes, it’s home to the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, with over 800 buildings! Think bold geometric lines, pastel colors, and tropical motifs like flamingos that channel the glam of the 1920s and ’30s. These charming low-rise buildings are only three stories tall, which gives the whole area a cozy, retro feel.

In this post, I’m breaking down the best time to visit Miami, what to pack, beach essentials, and my favorite spots to stay, eat, and explore including which museums are worth checking out and how to get around. Whether you're soaking up the sun or heading out for a night on the town, this guide has everything you need to make the most of Miami’s one-of-a-kind vibe. The beaches and nightlife are the big draws, but there’s a lot more to love.

Soft Boho Fashion Trend

Think less festival, more quiet luxury—Soft Boho is the new bohemian. The Soft Boho trend for 2025 is a refined take on boho style. It is elegant, airy, and romantic with a clean, effortless aesthetic. It is an elevated evolution of classic bohemian style—one that feels soft, romantic, grounded, and effortlessly chic. It’s a blend of creativity, calm confidence, and sunshine, wrapped in breathable fabrics and thoughtful details. I would say the Chloe Winter 2024 fashion show set the trend and now I'm seeing fast fashion retailers replicate those looks in muted and earthy tones like dusty rose, warm whites, terracotta, soft sage, and warm neutrals. Just look at the balloons of chiffon on sheer cascading dresses and ruffled tops!
