Wow this is so fab!! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into Christene's world and style. ✨ I love how playful and colorful it is - craving more of that in my life these days but I think i need a proper confidence boost and closet clean out. 😅 Bringing in happy fun things like a yellow tea kettle is a great idea for channeling the right energy around your space. Color me inspired! ☺️

Thank you Jess, I'm so glad you enjoyed. That sounds like a lovely way to start adding in more colour - a few cheerful items to brighten the room. 💛

So much inspiration!! Love the idea of starting with a clean slate before adding things in. And the physical pinning of mood boards! Gotta get back into that.

Thanks Stephanie. I've recently switched over to a physical pin board and there is a certain type of magic to that practice for sure! xx

Oh, wow, I absolutely Christene's style. How are some people just born so COOL? I'm also fawning over her public Spotify playlists linked on her Substack. Thanks for introducing us to her!

I jumped over to read the multiple miscarriages article and came back thinking "i hope she has a baby, i wish that for her..." and then the reference to her daughter. i think that's what made me the happiest about this!

but of course, thank you for the gorgeous style and space inspo. love her outfits, her lil kitchen, just perfect!

Awww, yes. She has a lovely daughter - such an uplifting part of her story after she so kindly shared with the world about the struggles she experienced. Thanks so much for reading Kristen. xx

Refinery29 was sold to Vice Media in 2019, so the vibe is definitely different now - especially without Christene.

Love the sounds of your yellow linen blazer! Glassware is such a good staple from the thrift store, I agree. Thanks so much Miranda 🩷
