Soul & Silk

It feels a little emotional to be writing here again. For a long time, I didn’t know if I’d return to blogging. So much has changed ... not just around me but also within me. But it feels right and this feels like the right moment to me. This isn’t about picking up where I left off, but about continuing... with a different rhythm, a different focus.

So here I am. Starting a new chapter… One that feels very close to my heart.

I still love getting dressed. That part of me never left. The ritual of choosing an outfit, adding a statement bag or slipping into something that moves just right ...it still lights me up. Dressing up has always been part of who I am. But now, it’s no longer just about style. It’s about care. A gentle act of self-respect. A way to say: I’m here, I matter, and I choose to show up for myself.

But beneath the surface, something deeper has been calling. A slower, quieter journey. One that still includes fashion, but is just as much about how I feel when the camera’s off, when I’m alone, when I breathe.

It started with a a little bit of restlessness. A feeling that the life I’d built (though beautiful in many ways) was perhaps too focused on the outside. I missed depth. I missed connection. I missed myself. So I began asking different questions. What brings me peace? What lights me up when no one’s watching? What does it mean to live a meaningful life?

I've started a more personal kind of quest. Not to escape my life, but to grow more deeply into it. I want to understand the world (and myself) with more softness and curiosity. Through conversations, places, books, shared meals, quiet moments, and rituals that ground me. I’m slowly letting go of old versions of myself that no longer feel true.... just like parting with clothes that once fit, but don’t feel like me anymore.

I’m still the woman who loves fashion and elegance, who gets joy from slipping on a beautiful dress or the perfect lipstick shade. But now I’m also the woman who craves quiet mornings, long conversations and finding the sacred in the ordinary. I'm learning to care for my mind like I care for my skin. To nourish my soul the way I nourish my body. To pause.

This space (whether you read me here or follow me elsewhere) is where I’ll start weaving it all together. My style, my doubts, my growth, my dreams. Not as a perfect story, but as a real one. Some weeks, it may be thoughts from a book I read, or a feeling I can’t shake. Other times, it might be something I wore that helped me feel strong again. I’ll let it unfold naturally….

Because I believe stories connect us. And maybe, by sharing mine, you’ll feel a little more seen in yours.

Let’s see where this takes us… With love, Sofie
