The woodsy scent of myrrh mixes with the scent of fresh sage and juniper berry, creating a cozy cabin feel. The room is illuminated with flickering candlelight as well as a dreamy soft orange glow. Alt-J is playing softly in the background; the scene is peaceful and calming.
The soft sound of raindrops hitting the skylight acts as white noise while the candlelight flickers like a dance. Empty coffee cups with wine colored lipstick stains and scribbled notes with coffee rings are scattered across the desk. The scent of myrrh is calming as I sip the third coffee of the evening; cozy knit sweater untucked, collar slightly disheveled, and pants replaced by leggings with mismatched socks. The soft notes of the current alt-j song playing as I write brings an idea; sharing the perfect playlist for the chaotic academic. One that will bring peaceful vibes while still seeming as chaotic as the jumbled up thoughts in your head.
Swirls of sparkling sugared berries dance in the air as it intertwines with the light, airy smell of pink cotton candy. With fairy dust glittering the room and delicate snowflakes falling, the energy feels magical.
Hello my angels!
Fluffy, white snowflakes delicately tumble from the sky; as though they’re doing the dance of the sugar plum fairy. The trees all around the cottage seem as though they’re glittering in the remaining sunlight. Their branches bare and instead covered in winter’s frosting; the scenery is dreamy and peaceful.
It’s the most magical time of year once again. The time of year that makes me want transform into a soft and ethereal angel. Below you’ll find my favorite tips that’ll have you feeling instantly angelic!
♡ Collect dreamy books like magical fairytales and enchanting stories. As well as finding journals with whimsical designs to share your deepest secrets and dreams. Hide away some pressed flowers like delicate, pink roses for added softness.
♡ Wear elegant dresses with light and airy materials. Flowing tulles and soft satins in dreamy pastels will have you instantly feeling angelic. Feel ethereal even when you sleep by choosing silky nightgowns and robes.
♡ Make a dreamy cup of rose tea in your fanciest of teacups and have a darling tea party for one. Pick up one of your favorite fairytales and get swept up in the magic as you sip your tea.
♡ Every angel needs the perfect scent to describe them. With a few sprays of your signature scent, you’ll feel every part the dainty princess.
♡ Gently brush out your tresses, leaving them soft and silky. Add some light curls and a pretty satin ribbon to complete the look.
♡ Create a soft and cozy scene by lighting your favorite candles and scattering rose petals all about.

The delectable scent of cinnamon sugar swirls with the soft smell of churned butter, powdered sugar, agave, and delightful vanilla bean as the stream of smoke dances from an incense stick. The delicate glow of my fairy lights illuminate the room, creating a cozy vibe.
Picture this … the sky is overcast with beautiful grey clouds, theres the slight smell of rain in the air as a crisp chill gently kisses your cheeks, orange and red leaves crunch under your feet as you stroll about and take in the beautiful autumnal landscape around you; autumn is here once again. It’s the perfect scene that puts you at ease and chases away all your worries for the moment.
While it may not be like that right now because it’s still summer complete with the heat, I’d still like to think about those autumn memories that make me happy. With all that’s happened this year, and 2020 continuing to 2020, I felt the need to share that scene with fellow autumn lovers to evoke those same feelings of peace. The best way I figured I could do that was to create a peaceful, cottagecore playlist full of cozy songs that truly make me think of breezy afternoons surrounded by the changing leaves.
The light sound of rain taps on the windows as the scent of fresh baked gingerbread swirls about. With a lavender Christmas sweater on, a delightful iced peppermint mocha in hand, and the sound of Christmas music playing, I feel extra festive.
Hello my Snow Fairies!
The trees outside are lightly dusted with winter’s fluffy white frosting and the ground below glistens with freshly fallen snowflakes, making the scenery look as though it is a whimsical winter forest. Invoking a magical feeling, it makes me dream of being an ethereal snow fairy.
With this dreamy idea in mind, I wanted to share the little things I do during the winter months that make me feel like a snow fairy!
♡ Spritz yourself with Snow Fairy by Lush – This has always scent from Lush has been a favorite of mine for years now. Not only does it have a darling name, but the enchanting scent of sweets make you feel magical!
♡ Use delicate pink lip gloss – What better way to feel like a delicate fairy than to use a pretty soft pink shade?
♡ Listen to The Nutcracker soundtrack – It’s the perfect time of year to twirl around to the music of The Nutcracker while getting ready; making you feel ethereal and as though you’re off to the land of sweets.
♡ Burn a Twisted Peppermint candle in your room –While making yourself feel like a snow fairy, you can also make your home feel like the perfect cozy dreamland fit for a fairy. With notes of sugared snow, buttercream vanilla, and of course peppermint, this candle is perfect for this!
♡ Wear delicate makeup with whispie eyelashes and a simple flick of eyeliner – Simple & angelic makeup is not only adorable, but can instantly make you feel as though you truly are a snow fairy. Dust some iridescent glitter across your eyes for some added magic!
♡ Make a dainty charm bracelet with a snowflake charm your signature – One of my favorite winter accessories has always been a Swarovski crystal charm, whether that be as a pendant on a necklace or a dainty charm bracelet. I’ve always felt a snowflake charm bracelet upon delicate wrists made for a dreamy winter look.
♡ Wear light pink mittens with tiny bows – Soft, fuzzy mitten will keep delicate fingers warm and toasty in the snowy weather. Wearing them in a baby pink shade with little bows will make you feel much more the part of a snow fairy.
♡ Allow a bit of blush to dance across your nose for a darling “kissed by the cold” look – Add some across delicate cheekbones as well for an added fairy feel!
♡ Bask in the stillness of snowy nights as the snowflakes dance and glisten – When the dreamy moonlight is glowing down on the freshly fallen snow making it glisten, take in the angelic scenery. Feel the peace of a still winter night as the snowflakes dance.
♡ Carry peppermint essential oils with you everywhere you go for a quick pick me up – This is the perfect way for an enchanting winter pick me up through out the day. Not only does it smell delightful, but it will put you in the holiday mood as well!
The comforting scent of spiced cinnamon and cedarwood twirl around the room as snow falls softly outside. The soft white fairy lights twinkle as Christmas music plays, creating the perfect cozy ambience.
Hello my Snow Fairies!
With snow falling softly outside and the sounds of delightful Christmas music playing, it’s clear that December is here. Being that it is once again the most wonderful time of the year, I’ve been feeling inspired to write dreamy winter posts.
Unfortunately I never finished my Halloween posts due to once again falling into a depressive episode and letting it win. Therefore stopping me from doing something I love so much, which is this blog.
That’s why I will not be attempting blogmas this year, however I am going to post angelic holiday/winter themed posts. Though this time I’m just going to post whenever I feel like it instead of making a schedule. I feel that doing it that way will be much better for me.
Anyway, to start off this magical month, I thought I’d share some of the goals I hope to achieve this season!
♡ Write More Often – As I’ve mentioned in my intro, I’ve been letting terrible mental health affect affect me in the way that I rarely do the things I love most anymore, but I really want to work on that so that I can write more this season. I love creating my blogs, it truly brings me happiness. I also have so many ideas including ones in my drafts I wanted to post last blogmas, but didn’t because anxiety and depression got in the way. I plan on trying my absolute hardest to fight past this so that I can create all of the enchanting posts I dreamed up.
♡ Make the most out of this time of year- As many people know this is the time of year many people dislike because of the winter blues, myself included, however I want to try my best to enjoy winter instead of just wishing it away.
♡ Go Ice Skating – This was a winter goal I had last year as well, however I sadly didn’t get the chance to go ice skating due to personal things going on. So this year I want to actually make the plans to go!
♡ Stick to a Skin Care Routine – If any of you loves have ever felt with depression, then y’all know how sometimes it even causes you to neglect certain things. Unfortunately for me this meant taking care of my skin which caused it to become worse. Luckily I received some new skin care for my birthday and I’ve been trying to come up with the perfect routine that takes care of all my current skin issues. My hopes this winter is to stick with it and not let the depressive episodes cause me to ignore it.
♡ Keep up with my Journal – Earlier this year I bought a darling Marie journal from Hot Topic and decided I would write often throughout the year after being inspired by Anne Lister’s diaries and the show that goes with them, Gentleman Jack. Though I did not write in it as much as I wished to. I hope to start writing in it more often as a way to get out what I’m feeling so it’s not always stuck in my head.
♡ Get back into working out – At the beginning of this year I finally had the perfect workout routine for myself and was seeing results. For the first time I was confident in my body and even spent the summer wearing cute crop tops and shorts. Even though the number on the scale went up a bit, I knew it was due to finally having muscle as I looked better than I had before being underweight. However I then relapsed into my ED, went back to being underweight, and no longer have that body confidence. My goal is to find a workout routine that will be good for me as well as fight past my relapse so that I can not only feel better about my body, but also not be at an unhealthy weight.
♡ Drink more Water – Drinking enough water may seem so easy to some people, but I’ve noticed whenever my mental health worsens, I barely drink any at all. Obviously this is extremely bad as it can lead to health issues. My goal is to drink enough water for my body in order to feel better.
♡ Change up my look – I feel that it’s time for me to change up my look. I haven’t been feeling the greatest about myself lately and my style has been changing all year, so I’d love to play around and find my aesthetic. I’ve already started by dying my hair a color I’ve always wanted, blue/black, and I love how it looks so much!
♡ Start outfit planning – This goes along with changing up my look, I’d really like to start putting more effort into my outfits again. I’d also really like to play with different looks and actually wear all the things in my closet. I used to outfit plan all the time on Polyvore, but sadly that doesn’t exist anymore. With my outfit planning I would also love to do outfit layouts so I can start creating some fashion posts!
♡ Focus on healing myself – Like I’ve said throughout this whole post, my mental health just hasn’t been the best and it’s been this way for years. I really want to focus on getting better and I’ve realized there’s only so much I can do to help myself by myself. So I want to finally put myself and my mental health first and seek professional help as a way to get better and no longer have it stand in the way of achieving my dreams. I deserve it!

With the sky painted a pretty light grey, raindrops gently fall and kiss the ground; there’s finally a chill in the air. Autumn has finally come to greet us and it is simply lovely. My vanilla chai latte warming my hands, I’m excited for more days like this.
Hello my Witches!
With us being in the midst of spooky season and the air finally getting colder, I thought it was the perfect time to share a list of my top favorite Halloween movies!
Down below you’ll find a list of 13, in honor of my 13 nights of Halloween series, movies that would be perfect for a spooky movie night.
So curl up with your coziest blankets, light some autumn candles, and grab the popcorn!

The sweet scent meets the warm, inviting smell of freshly made pumpkin spice waffles; creating the cozy feel of autumn.

Hello, Witches!
The days are getting shorter, the air is slowly becoming cooler, and everywhere you turn you see tiny pumpkins and witchy decor. This could only mean one thing; it’s finally spooky season!
With October here and the Halloween season upon us, I’ve decided to participate in blogtober. However instead of doing 31 post for 31 days of October, I’ve chosen to instead do 13 posts and call it ’13 Nights of Halloween.’ I’ll be posting them every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until Halloween. I’m excited for all of you to see what I have planned for each post!
Also before I get into today’s post, you may have noticed LaVieEnRoseDiaries has had a very witchy makeover! I really enjoyed creating it, so I hope you find it pretty.
Being that October is one of my most favorite months, I wanted to do a fall themed version of my ‘Little Things I Adore‘ series! So below you’ll find a list of the small things that bring a smile to my face during the month of October.
What are some of the little thing you loves adore about October?
The early morning end of summer sun peaks through sheer curtains, casting pretty beams of light around the room. The delicate scent of sweet cinnamon and pumpkin drifts about, setting the mood for the start of the morning.

Hello Beachy Babes!
Welcome back to my darling blog! After a long while of not feeling creative at all, I’ve found some inspiration to write again and what better way to start posting again than with a summer morning routine? However, this routine will be different than any others I have posted in the past. Instead of being a fancy pamper routine, this one will follow my real everyday morning.
Part of me coming back to blogging is that I wanted to show more real sides. Not to say that things I posted were fake, those were very real things I’ve done however, just written in an enchanting fairytale way; I have just being wishing to show more than just the fancy side of things as well. I’ll still be doing my enchanting day in the life posts though as I adore writing them. In fact, I’ll be posting a beach one soon!
Anyway, this post was partly inspired by those ‘Wake Up With’ videos on YouTube as well as Alisha Marie’s ‘Real Morning Routine’ video.
I hope you loves enjoy it!
As the morning sun beams begin illuminating the room, I hear a melody playing; soft at first, but then loudly. Is this the angelic fairies playing their enchanting tunes in my dreams?
Nope, it’s just my alarm blaring the Grey’s Anatomy theme song, letting me know I better get up for the long day ahead.
With a sigh I reach over for my phone, trying and failing to stop the noise, and check to see the time: 6am on the dot. Not super early, but early enough to cause me to go from mellow dreamer to an overdramatic Sharpay Evans type in .05 seconds flat.
Usually a happy morning person, today just wasn’t one of those days; it’s been awhile since those days. Letting out yet another overly dramatic sigh, I reach for my phone (now quiet) and open it to my texts.
I send out a lovely little good morning text, in the form of a darling gif, to my group chat to let them know I care.
That’s what those idiots get for naming me the Chanel Oberlin of the chat
Setting my phone back down, I sit up in bed. My soft Ariel blanket now tossed aside, I glance around the room, squinting at the sun. Wanting to establish a good morning routine and get back into my workout plan, I decided I should start doing at least one workout in the mornings as a way to get me up, ready for the day, and feeling lovely. Today is the start of that and I absolutely couldn’t wait to begin.
I’m sorry I was kidding. I was lying to myself when I said I would actually do that.
With that, I finally drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom to do all of the basics that one does in a bathroom at the crack of dawn; I end this with washing and moisturizing my face. Being that my skin has been acting problematic lately, I reach for my current holy grail product: Phoenix Facial Oil. I thought it would’ve made my face feel terribly gross, but instead it adds that extra moisture that my always dry & dull skin needs. Bonus, it makes my skin look naturally dewy to where I don’t need concealer and highlight!
Before starting on my makeup, I like to light a candle and being that I’m overly excited for fall, I’m lighting my Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle. It’s such a cozy scent and it puts me in a good mood.
Now every morning while I do my makeup, I enjoy putting something on to watch. Unfortunately for me this just leads to me taking longer to get ready being that I’ll stop mid-eyebrow just to pay attention to the show.
Recently my go to morning show has been Beverly Hills 90210 and if you’re wondering, I am in fact the president of the ‘I Hate Brandon Walsh Fan Club’ while also being the captain of the ‘Andrea Zuckerman is the Cutest Thing About This Show’ club. Donna Martin is a close second though.
Anyway, on to the actual makeup part.
So as many people lately, I have recently gotten into Euphoria and it’s definitely inspired me and given me new makeup ideas. I mean my everyday makeup routine usually consists of an unnatural eye look anyway (neutral eye looks have never been my thing), but binge watching Euphoria just encouraged me to take it one step further and be even more extra. So shimmery pink and dramatic glitter tears with a blushy nose at 6:30am it is!
I’m not happy unless it looks like I just cried glitter
Though I gotta say, to you beauties out there always doing the neutral looks, y’all look so cute!
As for the rest of my makeup, I’ve been trying to not irritate my skin further so I only use blush on my face, a bit of contour on my nose, and just fill in my eyebrows. I only use the tiniest bit of concealer if I feel I need it. I complete everything with winged liner and my favorite wispy falsies.
Now my hair, that’s a different story. Sometimes I like to switch it up and wear my pink lace front so I have cute dyed hair without the damage, but today I’m going simple with my regular hair extensions as I’ve got sucked into too many episodes of 90210 and I’m now behind schedule. No surprise there.
If you’re ever wondering if my hair is real, it’s not. Not ever.
Opening the closet, I think about which one of my style personalities wants to come out today: The overly girly, super pink side? The heavily AHS Coven inspired side? Or the laidback femme?
Shrugging, I reach for an outfit that can only be described as the femme version of Kim Possible and decide to run with it. Call me, beep me babes.
no seriously i’m taking wife applications so call me beep me
With that I also grab my new black moto jacket and a flannel (because obviously) despite the fact that the sun is currently outside screaming, “hey idiot, it’s still summer!”
The last thing I do in the mornings is make a delicious full breakfast of one pumpkin spice iced coffee.
i’m just kidding. don’t be like me. pls eat.
ps. this is basically me never being able to sit straight
Well I did say I was giving y’all my real morning routine. I really hope you loves enjoyed it and you liked this kind of post. Like I said above, I really want to show other parts of me as opposed to just the one sided princessy & super girly me.
With my long & newly darkened hair tied up into a messy bun with a blush pink scrunchie, I sit upon my rosy blanket. The soft scent of delicate lavender swirls about the room.

Hello my little Rosy Darlings!
After some much needed head clearing and getting myself into a new routine for healthier habits, I’m feeling rejuvenated and full of new ideas! Im very excited to get back into writing, spreading positivity, and starting up my new blogging schedule. Which, by the way, will be three days a week: Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday!
For today’s lovely post I wanted to share with you Darlings one of my favorite places that I have been shopping with for quite some time now. It’s an amazing online shop that I buy many of my girly & vintage inspired dresses and skirt sets, including the whimsical floral dress you may have seen me posting photos a lot of on my Instagram.
What this online shop is, is an indie online boutique that sells dresses and 2 pieces sets (a cute little top and skirt set) that are retro inspired.
Think Audrey Hepburn era! They actually even have a style dress called the Hepburn Dress.
The dresses they sell come in many different designs and there’s so many adorable prints to choose from. Personally I tend to favor anything they put out with a floral print. The sizes rang from small to large as well as a plus size 1 capsule collection they have.
My favorite thing about Bonne Chance Collections is the fact that their dresses are handmade. You can clearly tell the care that goes into making each and every one of these items. From the pretty and great quality materials they use to the tiny little details like the flower shaped buttons, there’s truly nothing bad to say about this brand.
They put so much care into their products that even their packing has a lot of detail. When ordering, your dresses get packed up in cute little boxes and tied with pretty pastel yarn. Not only that, but with each order they send out a little handwritten card!
Another great thing about this company is that the pricing is super inexpensive for what you’re getting. Everything on their site is only $34.99 and every month towards the end of the month they have a site wide sale for $29.99!
As for shipping, in my experience my orders have always processed and shipped out in no more than two days as long as it’s not ordered near a major holiday. They ship out from Arizona and even though I’m in Pennsylvania, I usually receive my order within two days of the shipment.
The last thing I want to say about Bonne Chance Collections before getting into my outfit, is that they’re honestly so sweet! They’re always sure to answer questions on their social media, responds to people quickly, and they even like and comment one your posts!
Now for my favorite part, showing my outfit which features one of my favorite Bonne Chance Collections purchases, the Secret Garden Lolita Dress!
The whimsical dress is an off the shoulder fit with a pink watercolor rose print as well as a pink chiffon ruffle. I simply adore the Lolita style dress as it makes me feel like a vintage princess that’s about to go to an afternoon tea!
Being that the dress is so gorgeous on its own, I simply paired it with nude tights, black pointed toe heels (not pictured), and my Tiffany necklace.
Before I end this post, I just thought I should put a little disclaimer. I was not asked to make this post nor am I getting anything out of it. Everything I have purchased from Bonne Chance Collections I have paid for and they don’t even know I was doing this post. I just wanted to share one of my favorite online shops for any fellow girly-girls out there!
As always I hope you Darlings enjoyed the post and are having an amazing day/night wherever you are!
