The beautiful city of Pittsburgh never ceases to amaze me! My fiance Schyler and I are originally from Washington but we have moved all over the country in the past 8 years that we’ve been dating. Portland, Nashville, and now Pittsburgh! We have lived in Pittsburgh for a little over a year now and still have so many places to explore. We’ve checked out a few parts of Schenley Park and Phipps Conservatory of course but we didn’t know about this trail located next to the Schenley Park Visitor Center & Cafe. We decided to check it out to admire the beautiful fall leaves that have started turning all over the city!

I’m a few days late but I wanted to share something for #nationalhispanicheritagemonth! My mom and her family are from Colombia, a beautiful country in South America that I have been fortunate enough to visit a handful of times. The beautiful necklace I’m wearing in this photo was my abuelita’s, one of the few pieces of her’s my mom gave me. My parents have also given me cowhide rugs, throw blankets, rugs, + other decorative pieces like this wind-chime that I love the style of! I’ve kept these pieces with me through all the moves over the years and they were a huge influence when I was decorating the space. They make me feel more connected to my Hispanic heritage! There are many beautiful areas of Colombia that I would love to explore and I definitely plan to travel there in the few years.

While living in Nashville, I thrifted tons of amazing boho decor! When I moved to Pittsburgh, I started thrifting for quality pieces for my wardrobe. Most of my clothing has been thrifted from a local thrift store here in Pittsburgh called Thriftique and Goodwill! The quality of the pieces I have found for a fraction of the cost is amazing, vintage finds, name brands, designer brands, and more. Thrifting has been a game changer for me and I love everything in my closet now.

As a full time content creator working from home, I have to work a little harder to make sure I’m taking time to relax + wind down in my space otherwise I’ll just keep creating! I love what I do, but work breaks as well as time for myself, my fiance, and my pup are important. Something that really helps me relax while at home is a comfortable but cute outfit!
