Iām so glad 90s fashion made a comeback š¼ I was a kid back then, watching it from the sidelines⦠now I finally get to live it in my own way š¤ and honestly, I donāt think Iām switching styles anytime soon š

This Motherās Day gave me something I want forever now, a portrait with my daughter every single year. Like pressing pause on time for just a moment before she grows a little more againšø
We really stretched this one day to its fullest capacity š
Fancy lunch, random mall walks like a bunch of teenagers just trying to spend a little more time together, coffee for absolutely no reason except buying more time, taking the kids to the gaming zone so the day could last a little longer, and pizza to end it all perfectly.
Also discovered burrata pizza and I havenāt stopped thinking about it since š
Finally got this reel out of my drafts. šæ
And maybe thatās why posting it feels a little emotional too⦠because this chapter of our life is slowly coming to an end.
Itās been years in this home, and now weāll be moving soon. I still donāt know exactly when, but itās happening.
And this⦠this is the part of our life I hate the most.
Not the shifting. I actually love setting up a new house. I love figuring out where the furniture will go, decorating new corners, making an unfamiliar place feel like us. It keeps life exciting in a strange way.
But what breaks my heart is knowing that one day, Iāll leave this home and probably never see it again.
This house holds pieces of our life that no one else can understand the value of.
The corner where she used to hide during hide and seek.
The wall where we marked her height every few months.
The tiny space near the dining table where she would sit with her books and crayons.
That spot where she slipped once and cried like the world had ended.
The little routines that looked ordinary then, but now feel priceless.
And maybe thatās why I keep so many random pictures and videos that donāt even look aesthetic enough to post.
Because somewhere deep down, I know memories fade.
Houses change.
People move on.
And these photos are the only way Iāll be able to go back someday.
Years later, I wonāt be able to take my daughter there and say, āThis is where you grew up from 3 to 6.ā
And honestly⦠how sad is that?
But this life comes with beautiful beginnings and quiet goodbyes together. And I knew that from the day I married him.
Still, every single time we move, Iām going to cry about it first. š¤
Thatās just how I cope. I feel everything deeply, then slowly make peace with it.

Got so much love on my last reel for this space, so I thought Iād share it properly. Sometimes the little changes donāt come through, but this corner came together slowly, piece by piece. Itās now this soft, whimsical, slightly vintage front yard, and easily my favourite spot at home. This space also made me fall in love with playing with colours again, adding them in a way that feels calm, not loud. š·š¼šŖ»
That āsomeoneās nextā anxiety? Handled. š
Just spray, smile, and exit like nothing happened š

Please donāt mind my hair, this is one of the reasons weāre going for a chutti š
I think they have completely succumbed to the humidity š„²
My inner girly aatma was like āI HAVE to make this reel, I have to put these tops on the gramā I was so obsessed. They were giving such JFK love story vibes, and I just love how 90s minimalist and chic these blouses are š¤
So now I can finally breathe š
