Less Really More, Truly

March 20, 2025 chanelfiles

Spring is officially upon us & though I can’t say that we even seen much of a winter here in the Bay Area, for the sake of allergies & formalities, happy spring!

As we all anticipate the coming of warmer weather & lighter layers, I’ve truly been enjoying every aspect of having a more curated & streamlined wardrobe. I spoke about this in detail in my last vlog but just in case you missed it, I’ve been going full-force into a ‘less-is-more’ lifestyle over the last few years & I must admit that I genuinely love it here.

The idea of sifting through endless amount of things only to be left in a state of frustration & irritation & still with nothing to wear has lost its grip over me & if you’re still stuck in its restraints, let me encourage you to pray for deliverance sis. lol

Subsequently, I’m reminded in Matthew 6:19-21, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Sweater: Modern Citizen. Similar styles:

In hindsight though, I’ve found there to be quite a few vacancies in my closet that I’d slowly like to fill. My goal going forward is to focus on adding “heavy-hitting” basics back into to my wardrobe with a focus on functionality & fabrication while of course, still being stylish as well.

Maybe I can share a few pieces I’m in the market for a in blog post or a dedicated YouTube video? Feel free to let me know below!

The Power of Offline

March 5, 2025 chanelfiles

It’s been a while since we’ve last spoken. Let’s catch up, shall we?

So where do I even begin?

If you caught my last post, then it won’t be much of a surprise that I’m approaching creating content in a renewed way, His way.

Extended time offline never fails to challenge me to prioritize what actually matters & if I’m being completely honest, most of the things I often found myself being consumed with simply just doesn’t.

Creating, editing, liking, linking, posting, sharing, — along with every other monotonous task attached to having an online presence, has unquestionably lost its luster & now more than ever, I find myself questioning what it all even means. What does it actually matter? What weight does it carry into eternity & most importantly, is God being glorified?

The acquirement of things. The posting of things. The sharing of things. The talking of things; though fun at times, has become somewhat futile & erroneous in light of what I’ve been compelled to share.

Sweater: The Frankie Shop. Boots: Paris Texas. Necklace: COS. Sunglasses: H&M.

Simply said, desire to profess Christ in these last days has increased. My conviction to profess His goodness, His holiness, His righteousness & His soon & imminent coming has become a weight that my spirit that I can no longer carry & because of that, everything else has fallen to the waist-side.

The bar has been set & the assignment has been given. My desire is to simply be an obedient vessel for the kingdom of God & that’s really just what it is.

And though I’ll still be incorporating fashion bits here-and-there, it no longer takes precedence across my platforms.

Thank you for y’all’s love & support & I look forward to our journey together seeking Christ in a renewed & refreshing way.
