🎾🩰✨ Okay, here are my honest notes: @sisterlytribe I love their sets for Pilates; so flattering and comfy! For tennis sets: I usually wear size XS, but need a size S in their straight-cut tennis skirt. But I get a million compliments whenever I wear their pieces, especially the tennis sets! @uniqlo Super comfy and functional. They also offer more modest options. Probably the best value for money among all the brands in my list. Can’t wait until they open in Dubai 🥺 @vuoriclothing Just discovered this brand on Ounass and I’m so happy I did! I’ve been looking for a pretty, classic, and functional tennis dress for ages (basically mission impossible) and hit the jackpot with Vuori. Comfy, flattering, and easy to throw on. Love! @alo My forever obsession. The colors are dreamy, the fits are spot on; each piece feels like second skin. So stylish and sleek. Their tennis skirts are, in my opinion, the best on the market. Adore! Sporty & Rich: For an old-school J.Crew aesthetic fan like me, this brand is a dream. The pieces are perfect for everyday lifestyle wear; I live in them! But not on court: many of their tennis skirts don’t come with built-in shorts or ball pockets, so I usually reserve them for off-duty days. @irnby.store I love their tops! super flattering and bold, yet functional. The cuts are confident and eye-catching, with a modern edge that feels elevated yet wearable. #tennisstyle #pilatesoutfit #activewearreview #athleisurefashion #stylishandfunctional #sportygirlstyle #vuori #alo #sisterlytribe #uniqlo #sportyandrich #tennisfashion #pilateslooks #activewearlove #courtstyle #ootdfitness #wellnessstyle #tenniscore #padel

I’ve never related when people said “I don’t care where I stay when I travel; I’m only there to sleep.” For me, the decor, the artistic spirit, the ambiance of a place are essential—they shape my experience and connection to the city. I’d always choose fewer days in an inspiring space over more time in a plain one. And it’s not about booking the fanciest hotel in town - It’s about finding rare gems with character and artistic integrity - be it an airbnb, a flat, or a gorgeous hotel. Thank you @hotelchateauvoltaire for a truly inspiring stay And thank you @travelwithxplorius for always finding perfect spots for my trips 🫶🏽✨ P.S. a few snaps from our beautiful Paris home #parisianstyle #parisianchic #travelgram #lookoftheday #ootd #styleinspiration

Cambridge moments 🤎 #ootd #harvarduniversity #styleinspo

Visiting my university in Boston for the first time in 8 years has been one of the most nostalgic, magical, and humbling experiences. 🥹🍂 When I lived here, I was hyper-focused: juggling a Journalism major and Business minor (graduating a year early, with honors!), writing for two publications, producing a TV show, and working part-time at a marketing agency. All of this simultaneously. Oh, and keeping up a gym routine and a long-distance relationship. No wonder I never stopped to take in just how beautiful Boston is, or how lucky I was to call this place home during my formative years. Now, I’m seeing it with new eyes. Full of love, nostalgia, and so much gratitude to that baby girl who worked so hard to build our future. 🥹✨How far we’ve come… and how far we still will go. So this is your sign: If you ever feel like your life is moving slowly - go visit a place you once lived in. Nothing gives perspective quite like it. 🤍 #university #thoughtoftheday #ootd #motivation #styleinspo #falllook #ralphlaurenpolo #fashioninspo

I’ve seen this trend a lot, and even if it’s shared jokingly, I think it glorifies the wrong things. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned in my 30 years, it’s that inner peace has little to do with the external. It’s a byproduct of love. Purpose. Movement. Health. Awareness. And yes, I fully acknowledge these are enormous privileges in themselves, unfortunately. But it’s certainly not the size, age, or hair color that brings peace. Thoughts? Am I selectively overanalyzing?
