Carly’s Cut, Vol. 4
November. The most important month of the year. And no, I’m not talking about gratitude season. I’m talking about my season of birth. Scorpio season came and went with the force of a full-blown Wicked: For Good cyclone, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My birthday month always sends me into a spiral of reflection, everything from the past year to the past version of myself to the past contents of my closet. The usual.

It’s packed with fantastic finds at accessible prices. Right now, a few personal highlights are
20 Things to Do at Home That Spark Joy
Even though I love dressing up and putting on one of my bold outfits, I’m actually pretty introverted. For me, nothing is better than being home. I’ve spent so much time making my Charleston home feel beautiful, and if you ask me, staying home is almost always better than going out. That said, I know being stuck at home (especially when it’s because of the weather or if you are feeling under the weather) can sometimes feel like you’re missing out. There is so much joy to be found at home. Whether I am solo, hanging with my bf, catching up with my family, or hosting a few friends, I have a handful of cozy activities that make staying in feel even better.
