Love's & borken nail drama

Hey girlies—

This week has felt like a Milan fashion show, only instead of models and front rows, I’ve been drowning in exams. Which is why today’s post will be a quick but fabulous little note. Forgive me, my loves—I promise the runway will be fuller next week.

First things first: Victoria’s Secret dropped a bomb on Instagram—blowouts are back! Gone are the days of the slick ponytail, and honestly… thank God. Nothing screams glamour like bouncy hair and a little volume. Now, the only thing I’m dying to know is: who will sing at this year’s show?

Moving on to fall fashion. Trends are still simmering, but according to Vogue, autumn has officially begun the moment Dua Lipa stepped out in jeans. Jeans. Really? Don’t get me wrong—I wear them, I love them, but my heart says fall is for skirts in all their glory. Long, short, pleated, textured—skirts simply scream chic. That said, I won’t lie, a pair of jeans and a cozy sweater still has me weak sometimes. Balance, right?

Speaking of weak—girlies, I have a confession. I am currently missing half a nail. Yes, HALF. All thanks to my impatience with press-ons. So, before you suffer like me, here are my tips: when they start snagging in your hair, soak your hands in hot water and remove them gently. And if one is stuck, do not force it. Trust me, you’ll regret it. My red nail is the tragic proof.

Now, let’s get vulnerable for a moment. My Italian still lingers in my mind like a haunting perfume. I don’t know what’s happening in his life now, but I can’t forget that time he told me—if I ever made it abroad for my scholarship, he’d visit. I dreamed of rainy days in our favorite city, like a movie couple on borrowed time. Results come in two weeks, and my heart is racing for reasons that have nothing to do with exams. Stay tuned, girlies.

Finally, let’s talk dating. Yes, I’ve tiptoed back into the wild world of it, and let me just say: it’s chaos. Like walking into a store after a massive sale—everything good is gone, and what’s left? Questionable. Maybe I just have high standards, or maybe I’m being dramatic (probably both). But either way, I’ve missed the stories, the mess, and I’ll be bringing you some juicy updates soon.I’ve missed writing for you all so much, and I’ll be back with more next week—hopefully with a nail intact and better romantic material.

With love (and a broken red nail),

Gigi ✨
