Hi, I’m KiKi.

I created The Lifestyle Edit as a space for women who love their lives and want to feel every bit of them.

For years, I believed beautiful living was something you arrived at someday. After the right milestone. After the next goal. After life finally settled down. What I’ve learned instead is that a beautiful life is built in the everyday moments we choose to notice, appreciate, and create.

Here you’ll find reflections on personal style, home, mindset, local living, and the small details that make ordinary days feel meaningful. I believe in editing life with intention, not perfection. In creating spaces that feel like home. In dressing for the woman you’re becoming. In slowing down enough to enjoy what you’ve already built.

When I’m not creating content, you’ll find me exploring St. Louis, working in real estate, sipping coffee somewhere beautiful, or finding new ways to make everyday life feel a little more special.

The Lifestyle Edit is an invitation to live deliberately, appreciate deeply, and create a life that feels as beautiful as it looks.

I’m so glad you’re here.

These are a few of my favorite things

I love french fries and champagne, now that’s an award winning combination. I also indulge in the occasional  gummy worms (I really cannot tell you why but Target has the best ones), and oh… Bread. Give me all the carbs. January 1, 2021 I went meatless. I tried veganism for about six weeks but I couldn’t do it. I did however ditch the meat. Kudos to all the vegans of the world.

I love to smile and laughing is mandatory. Laughter is magnetic, how long can you stay mad at someone who is smiling and giggling? Not very long, I tell you that from experience; I’ve tried it.

This is my little corner of the interweb to share my obsessions and help inspire other women, through outfit ideas, being bougie on a budget (lets keep that budget tight), home decor, showing progress on my forever journey with fitness (I think lots of us struggle with that). Heck, I may even throw in a recipe or two (even though I do not enjoy cooking, especially since going meatless). If I ever hit the lottery I will be hiring a personal chef.

I wanted a place to share all the things. So let me ask you, do you feel like you know a little bit about me now?! Good. Take this journey of life 2.0 with me and lets make the conscious effort to live our life on purpose. You in?!

Dear Diary: What happens when you don't shrink

And just to be random…

You can catch me singing or dancing horribly (seriously, I have no rhythm) but that’s okay it doesn’t stop me from doing it… Because I enjoy it.

Even though I sing and dance I am an introvert. Not a lot of people believe that about me since I am so friendly and always smiling.

The Hallmark channel is my absolute favorite. Every movie has the same predictable happiness and I love it. There is always a happy ending.
