🎙 And I Can Put it in a Bun—I Got My Edges Back!
Hey Fabric Snobs!
Welcome to the very first episode of Style Signatures in the Wild! In this new series, I’ll be sharing my personal musings on how my signature style evolves in real life and how my lifestyle influences my wardrobe. It’s all about embracing transformation, vulnerability, and the journey toward living authentically.
In this episode, we dive deep into my 2025 overhaul, a year I’ve dubbed "Put Myself Out There." After years of soft life aspirations, burnout, and a bit of soul-searching, I’m taking a bold step toward true personal transformation—mentally, physically, and, yes, stylistically.
In This Episode:
The Year of Ultimate Glow-Up: Have you woken up in 2025 and decided it’s time to be prettier, sexier, hotter? Same. But this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about discipline, consistency, and true self-connection.
Lessons from Past Glow-Ups: From the soft life era to the realization that external beauty means nothing without internal alignment, I reflect on the highs (designer hauls and glam squad appointments) and lows (feeling unfulfilled despite it all).
The Evolution of the Style Revolution Challenge: What started as a 5-week beauty reset has become a full mind-body-soul overhaul. We’re talking skincare, hair, nails, fitness, and personal style—because it all matters.
Beauty Rituals & Product Faves: I’m spilling my latest obsessions, from Youth to the People skincare to the ultimate nail rehab routine (because SNS betrayed me, and I will never forget it!).
The Return of the Edges: Yes, we’re talking hair health! From iron supplements to Bondi Boost and dermarolling, I’m sharing my secrets to reviving my hairline and keeping it thriving.
Bookish Baddie Era: The Style Signature life isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good. And for me, that includes diving into a solid reading list.
