January 2023 has begun and it's time to share my winter seasonal anecdotes again! If I can declare these chill months to be anything, I wish them to be decorative and gentle. For me, 2022 was full of tense family changes and more lows than highs. Yet, I made sure to find the silver-lining in every moment I could. While we're currently coming out of our holiday comas, returning to real life, to the office and adulting responsibility; I believe it's pertinent to include some small moments of delight daily this year.
With that in mind, my mood for this season is full of visual upgrades in the form of home goods like luxurious tableware, monochromatic shoes to rock vintage denim in, cozy wintry drinks, to wear and indulge in the color of the year— magenta and buy some stylish accessories for international travel. Not to mention, my goal to be more intentional about LOVE.
After searching Instagram throughout the holidays, I’ve managed to collect some chic and lavish anecdotes for inspiration during these chill months. Appropriately, this year I’m spending most of the winter months on the East Coast although, we’ve still haven’t dipped below 40º degrees passing a couple of days… “global warming, is a thing.” Nevertheless, the chillier weather does make for more fashionable layers I could never get away with in Los Angeles…see a silver lining.
Here’s a glimpse into some assorted adornments I want to share with you while, entering this New Year of the Rabbit. May my not-so-humble collection inspire you to be a little bit more intentional, extra bold in your color risks and motivated by higher love this year.
1. One of my goals this winter is to start purchasing some long-lasting luxe tableware and home goods that can become heirlooms in the future. Or course, because the pieces will be expensive its only smart to purchase in very small batches. Like a couple tea cups here and some small plates there. I'm loving the tableware at Fendi that not only make posh statements are the classically chic theme I'm on this month.
2. This curious and beautiful flower vase by French Florist that aptly sits on a geometrical tilt for a conversation piece and a divine way to adorn my next bouquet of florals.
3. Just the monochromatic life is for me this year, there is something decadent and striking when you pair black and white together. Miu Miu's Napalm pumps are widely posh and I'd love to pair it with some vintage blue washed denim and a statement t-shirt.
4. A mini handbag is the perfect accessory, my sister and I both proclaim to be the best for international travel. This year Greece, Ghana and the UK are on the travel list. Which means the Ophidia GG mini round shoulder bag by Gucci is literally right on the nose.
5. More magenta means more life! The Pantone color of the year is Viva Magenta and it's a voracious color to indulge in the year ahead. "Vibrating with vim and vigor, a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family demonstrating a new signal of strength", says Pantone. To me it speaks a bold exploration into the unknown, with wild courage and lively curiosity for enjoyment.
