Today I want to share this little illustration I made for you, my sister, @vanessajeudiht ❤️😍 I tried my best to capture your essence and all the little things that make you who you are, but the truth is, I don't think one little painting could ever fully capture you. You are one of the most free-spirited people I know. You dream so big, and I have always admired the way you never let the world make your dreams smaller. When something stands between you and what you want, you are not afraid to move through it, around it, or completely out of your way. You have this fire in you that keeps pushing you forward, and I hope you never lose it. You are also one of the funniest people I know. You have this way of welcoming life with humor and making everything feel a little lighter. You can make me laugh when I least expect it, and I love that about you. But behind all that laughter is someone who feels everything so deeply. You love deeply, you care deeply, and when something matters to you, you give it your whole heart. You have always been someone who creates from the heart. Through your art, your music, your words, your ideas, and simply the way you see the world, you have this beautiful way of expressing the things that are sometimes too big to say. You carry so much love for your roots, for people, for freedom, for your dreams, and for the things you believe in. I hope you always know how special that is. I wanted this little painting to hold a small piece of all of that. Your softness and your fire. Your laughter and your sensitivity. Your big dreams and your determination. The part of you that can make a room feel lighter, and the part of you that feels the world so deeply. I feel so lucky that I get to call you my sister, that I get to know all these different sides of you, and that I get to watch you keep growing, creating, dreaming, and becoming more and more yourself. 🫂😍 I hope you never stop dreaming the impossible dreams. I hope you never stop creating, never stop loving so deeply, and never let anyone convince you to become anything less than who you are. Happy birthday, my sweet Vavounette! I love you sooooo much. 🥹🤎 by @karayiib

Whispers of Home ✨ A little collection about the places, memories and tiny things that make us feel at home ☕️ Created in collaboration with artist @karayiib , who imagined the story behind this palette, chose each color and gave every shade its name. I then brought her ideas to life through handmade watercolor. Warm sand, weathered linen, clay and old timber, muted greens, faded reds and a little blush pink. Twelve colors that feel soft, familiar and slightly touched by time. Not quite a place, but a feeling. #handmadewatercolors #handmadewithlove #colorstudio #watercolorartist #watercolor by @karayiib

A little glimpse of Summer before we welcome Autumn. We found a little patch of green and let the afternoon turn into a beautiful little memory. Pearls, ribbons, flowers, laughter, and dresses spilling across the grass. For a moment, the world felt wonderfully slow, like we had wandered into the pages of an old story and decided to stay a little longer. 🌿 Sharing these as little late-summer memories before the season slips away. @kafezile_ and I are wearing the dreamiest dresses from @linennaive , and truly, we felt like princesses in them. The soft linen, delicate lace, romantic sleeves, and beautiful pastel shades made the whole afternoon feel like our own little fairytale. 🧡🩵 . .

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. - Albert Camus . . This beautiful gingham dress from @sondeflor, created in collaboration with @shirinatra, was practically made for wandering through the grass, twirling for no reason, and romanticizing an ordinary afternoon. 🌿❤️ The way it moves makes frolicking feel almost necessary. Paired with my straw hat from @rosedaisy_shop , the sweetest velvet ribbon, and a little touch of poetry, the whol afternoon felt wonderfully nostalgic, like a tiny scene borrowed from another time. ❤️💐 Images by 🪄@pyelila Dress: @sondeflor Hat: @rosedaisy_shop Rings: @noukajewelry . . . . #mysondeflor #cottagecorefashion #ginghamdress #slowfashionstyle #romanticstyle by @karayiib

It is the pursuit of beauty in things and people that is the journey...the real journey. I was happiest when I sought beauty in words and music and images. I was happiest in movies or in the middle of a symphony...whatever allowed the mind to ponder all that was possible and glorious. The world, I suppose, is the result of actions taken by people possessed of an image or an idea, and the world I care most about is constructed from those images that reminded someone of the beauty and the nobility of people... I'm back on the job of looking for this beauty, and nothing is safe from my eyes and my ears. I want to find and host the beauty of the world. - tennessee williams . .

Everybody knows deep down that life is as much about the things that do not happen as the things that do and that's not something that ought to be glossed over or denied because without frustration there would hardly be any need to day. dream. And daydreams return me to my original sense of things and I luxuriate in these fervid primary visions until I am entirely my unalloyed self again. So even though it sometimes feels as if one could just about die from disappointment I must concede that in fact in a rather perverse way it is precisely those things I did not get that are keeping me alive." — Claire-Louise Bennett . .

I don't always know how to explain the parts of me that feel most real. They get pushed aside by noise and routine, easy to forget when life moves too fast. But when I wore that beautiful dress by @linennaive , they came back on their own. 😍 Nothing special happened. The world didn’t stop. But I did, a little. Movements slowed. Small details returned, the feeling of fabric, the air passing by, the quiet comfort of not thinking about being seen. I simply existed. It felt like coming home, not to a place, but to something familiar and calm. A softer, quieter version of self that had been waiting. And I truly felt like a fairy, though not bright or obvious, but small and private. A small woodland creature that doesn't need to be discovered. Something that belongs to sunlight, not attention. I was not trying to look beautiful. Maybe that is why I felt it without questioning it. The truest version of a person doesn’t need to announce herself. She appears when she feels safe and calm. And sometimes, all it takes is the right dress. ❤️ . . Images by @pyelila . . . . . . . . . . . . #softgirlera #romanticizinglife #fairycore #quietmoments #gentleliving by @karayiib

A few years ago, for your birthday, I gave you the very first watercolor I had ever painted, my hands trembling a little as I handed it to you. I was scared to share something so dear to me, something that felt like a small piece of my inner world. And here we are again, years later, with another illustration of you. Once again, I tried to capture your aura, and once again, I was reminded that no drawing could ever fully capture who you are. Still, I think I will keep trying anyway.😍 We are so much alike and so different at the same time. We feel the world with the same intensity, yet each in our own language. And somehow that has always been one of the most beautiful things about us. I don't know how two people can mirror each other so closely and still move through the world in such distinct ways. And yet being with you feels like talking to another part of myself. Nothing between us has ever felt forced. We did not have to carefully choose what to reveal. We just opened the door and walked in. With you I have never had to translate my heart. I can arrive joyful, grieving, overwhelmed, inspired, confused, and you meet me exactly where I am. Unedited. Unfiltered. Entirely myself. Your energy really does feel like sunlight. Not loud or demanding, just alive, like it naturally finds its way into every corner it touches. You make others feel seen without asking them to become anything other than who they already are. Life feel fuller around you. People breathe a little easier, laugh a little louder, open up a little more without even noticing. You love life with your whole heart, and because of that, everything touches you deeply. Joy, beauty, sadness, loss, music, memory, hope. You let it all in. That is both your gift and your ache, but it is also what makes you so profoundly alive and magical.❤️ Happy birthday, my sunshine! I hope you feel today just a fraction of what you give every single day. You are my sister, my empath twin. Your light will always be something that pours out of you effortlessly, never performed, never forced, just simply your own. Knowing you will always be one of the most beautiful things that has ever happened to me. I love you❤️ by @karayiib

Magic isn't somewhere else. It isn't a series of distant rituals, ancient texts and expensive courses. Magic is turning to the world, and seeing it, and knowing we are indistinguishable from it, in all our embodied, strange, soft and edgeless form. We are in the world and it is in us.

Before I had words for who I was, she somehow knew. The Diana to my Anne Shirley, the first person who truly saw me and recognized me like a song she had always known by heart❤️ She's a child living inside a woman’s body, same as me. A dreamer in the most full, all-consuming sense of the word, collecting passions like others collect regrets, already living multiple lives before the day is halfway done. She experiences things. She shows up to life with her whole self and still asks for more. Complicated like the ocean, layered, impossible to fully hold and yet in my eyes, in my eyes specifically, she is the simplest person I've ever known. We've laid on her rooftop giving clouds the most unpronounceable names, fully convinced we were doing something important. 😂 We've watched the same movies from different countries, counting 1, 2, 3, play into our phones like a ritual, like a small sacred thing. She has sat with every one of my heartbreaks as if none of my feelings were too much, then looked me in the eyes and said : Get over it, this does not deserve your attention.💀😂 And somehow, coming from her, I didn’t feel judged for a single second. Just loved. She dragged me into her book club and chose the saddest book ever printed, because of course she did.😩 She pot-painted with me after her flight got canceled, like the universe had meant for her to be right back where she was supposed to be. She showed up at my house in tears, and we spent the day turning that moment into magic. Even now, after all her moves, she still has these pots.🥹Nothing grand. Just little souvenirs that somehow take up all the space in our hearts. She feels everything, not halfway, not carefully, but completely, recklessly, with every door inside her wide open. And she somehow made me believe that being that way was never a flaw, just something meant to be understood. Not everyone finds someone who knew them before they knew themselves, who loved both the mess and the magic before they had words for it. I got lucky. And I’ll always be grateful for whatever quiet force brought us together.🥰 Happy birthday to my soul sister, my mirror, my favorite dreamer. I love you eternally❤️ by @karayiib
