Top + Pants: H&M. Earrings: Heaven Mayhem. Pouch: Toteme. Similar styles.

To know me is to know that I can find inspiration absolutely any & everywhere.

From saturated greens on blossoming summer trees to poppy red tomatoes at the farmer’s market & even a vintage, u-shaped paneled leather couch I stumbled across doom scrolling on Pinterest, there’s a never-ending overflow of colors, shapes & textures to selfishly indulge in if only we look up & look around.

Pairing this (very) Toteme inspired set from H&M + w/ my actual Toteme pocket leather pouch & oversized earrings, I can’t help but think of myself wandering through the Getty Museum posing as an art collector that’s well-versed in brutalist art & vintage oil paintings on stretched canvases.

But more than anything, this is just a reminder to look up, look around & indulge in both the natural & created beauty God has given us the privilege to see.

Thanks for stopping by.

In true ‘Chanelfiles’ form, welcome back to a new blog post & since we’re here, Happy New Year! :D

At this point, you already know that I thoroughly enjoy logging off & living my regular-degular life.

~Minimal screen time with no photos or videos to edit & share alongside a toolbox of tactics on the best way to do so constantly raging at the forefront of my mind.

Just a simple, mundane life with no desire to capture any part of it. You know, just like the good-ole days.

I’ll spare you from any major life updates because truthfully, there aren’t many. No cross-country moves. No relational status updates. And certainly no wild dating stories that I simply just MUST share.

In a world ever-connected to faux-realities, apps tracking your every move & an inexhaustible list of unsolicited information, now more than ever I’m re-assessing the way(s) I show up in these spaces & how to make them make sense for me.

Nonetheless though, my battery has been recharged & I’m genuinely excited to be creating again.

Thanks for stopping by & I’ll call you back soon!

xX, C.
