I would have loved for this to be a “what I bought” post but unfortunately, my car needs all new tires and new brakes. So it looks like any spring purchases will be put on hold until I can totally pay off this outrageous car bill. If I do end up buying new clothes, I will try to thrift them locally or on thredUP or Poshmark. But for the sake of this blog post, I wanted to share some links you can actually follow to items I have my eye on this spring.

In an effort to curb my shopping habits, I’ve decided that I want to start tracking my shopping purchases. I already track my outfits everyday, so adding this info to a spreadsheet seems like a no brainer. This series will not include groceries, experiences, food, gas or travel (you know, the necessities). I haven’t done a ton of shopping in 2024 yet (at least, to me), but here are the things I purchases in January and February.

One of my favorite things I did in 2023 was track every outfit I wore in a Google Sheets Spreadsheet. I was inspired by people on Tiktok to do so, in order for me to really get a gage on what I regularly wear. I wanted to share my most worn items from 2023 and share what I learned about myself and my closet during this process.

If you couldn’t already tell by my lack of blog posts this month, I have decided not to post any gift guides this holiday season. Try to wipe your tears enough so you can keep reading. As someone who’s love language is quality time, I thought this would be a good blog post to share. Especially since I cannot (with a good conscious) promote shopping right now with the state of the world and state of the economy. I think we all have power in what we buy (and what we don’t buy) so personally, for me, I have been limiting my holiday shopping this season. So with that in mind, I wanted to throw out a few ideas for “experiences” to gift this holiday season.

adorable book tree above not included, but a very cute idea to try!
In the season of giving (and time of recession) DIY gifts are the perfect solution! I am not including pictures of what I have actually made this season, because I don’t want my friends to read this blog and have their Christmas presents surprises spoiled. So shoutout to Pinterest for the help on this post! And feel free to check out this post from 2020.

Happy Halloween! Over the weekend, my darling friend Mary threw a Halloween party over the weekend and I decided to dress up as a dirty martini. Because I have never had an original thought in my entire life, I got this idea from the clock app and made a point to DIY it and thrift all of the pieces. As a friendly reminder, I am a #thredupambassador and I got 75% of this costume from thredUP.

The urge to cut my hair into a bob is overwhelming.
On the eve of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) being dropped, I thought it was appropriate to share a project I have been working on since 2020. During quarantine, I made it a game of trying to find items of clothing Taylor Swift has worn (in my size) on secondhand online stores (namely Poshmark, thredUP and Mercari). Finding an exact item online scratches an itch in my brain. I’m like a pirate hunting for treasure. I’ve done this series for almost all of her other eras (click here to check out Fearless, Speak Now, RED, reputation and Lover) so of course I had to do an entire post dedicated to 1989. I’ve always admired Taylor’s ability to shift into different eras with her clothes and hairstyle. I think her 1989 street style is the most recognizable of her eras and had the most intention and planning behind it (who leaves the gym in 6 inch heels?!) So allow me to transport you back to 2014 & 2015 as we dive into what made her 1989 era so unique and where I found these outfit pieces, incase you feel like recreate some of these looks too.

Fun Fact: I just completed my 2023 GoodReads Reading Goal! 60/60 books done on October 18th. I would like to thank my book club and the Libby app for this wonderful achievement. I don’t know how you feel about counting audiobooks for this goal (if you didn’t already guess, I absolutely do) and I’ve been listening to a TON of audiobooks lately while I WFH and go on walks. I must be blessed by the Libby Gods, because most of these audiobooks have been spooky rom com books. What could be better for October? I love spooky season, but I do not like gore or horror. That being said, I wanted to make this post about 10 spooky (not scary) books that you can read this month to really get in the Halloween spirit!

Happy almost Halloween! It has certainly been a minute since I’ve done a #Kimberkopy that isn’t about Taylor Swift, but when I saw the music video for Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” song, I knew immediately I wanted to recreate it. Not only is the song a complete banger, I love the story the MV tells. I especially love how I get Twilight vibes from the first section and then the 4th wall is broken and she runs out of the theater. So naturally, I DIY-ed her outfit and took some photos with my tripod out in the yard of one of the houses I petsit for. Enjoy these photos!

I love my friends. I love brunch. I love dressing up. I love fall. I love my birthday! And I love combining all of those into one large party. My 28th birthday was on a Sunday this year, so I decided to host a breakfast potluck with a bunch of my friends still in the DMV. Since moving back home into my parents’ house, I couldn’t have the big blow out party I’ve had in recent years, so I was so happy on this day. I was surrounded by my favorite people and felt so special. I also love when everyone pitches in and comes together for meals. I asked everyone to dress up in garden party attire/ fall colors and I had a blast setting up tables like it was Thanksgiving! I love candle lit meals, grandma-looking china and bouquets of flowers and I am so happy with how everything turned out. Shout out to Aimee for helping to capture everything on her camera!
