Key “incredibly chic” lifestyle tips (from the subtitles)

  1. Develop your own taste + style

    • Stick to what you genuinely like (colors, jewelry metals, interior design style).
    • Trends come and go—your personal style is what reads as chic.
  2. Match your underwear + bra (even if nobody sees it)

    • Make it an “only for you” upgrade that changes how you feel and show up.
    • Tip: if you buy a new bra color, buy underwear in matching shades so you always have a set.
  3. Avoid filler words

    • Reduce “like” and “um” to communicate with more clarity and conviction.
    • Not perfection—just fewer filler words for stronger presence.
  4. Carry and use a notebook

    • Keep a notebook you love and write in consistently.
    • Her approach: fewer rigid “to-dos,” more journaling, clarity, and writing ideas.
    • Example: a Hermès notebook cover with refills (keeps the cover long-term).
  5. Be comfortable doing things alone

    • Go to lunch, dinner, or events by yourself confidently.
    • She describes this as something she practiced to build self-love and assurance.
  6. Wear sentimental pieces

    • Jewelry or items connected to family members (mother/grandmother/ancestors) can feel uniquely meaningful and “chic.”
    • Example mentioned: a mom’s daily watch and a grandmother’s wedding ring.
  7. Have opinions without arguing/shaming online

    • Chic = strong point of view + not needing to “perform” or convince everyone.
    • No comment-section battles; conviction without public validation.
  8. Use beautiful sleepwear instead of random oversized tees

    • Matching sets and nice materials (cotton, silk, lace) for a luxurious end-of-day feeling.
    • Again: “for you,” to feel elegant and cared for.
  9. Go for bare/natural nails—if they’re still neat

    • Bare nails can look chic when they’re healthy, well-shaped, clean, and maintained.
    • She mentions doing regular manicures without polish.
  10. Have go-to places and real familiarity with staff

    • Become a known regular: waiter remembers your name/order.
    • The vibe comes from consistency, community, and being treated with mutual loyalty.
  11. Wear full-length (long) coats

    • Especially in winter: a quality long coat elevates any outfit.
    • Suggestion: invest in a good one if you can.
  12. Take real interest in something obscure

    • Be genuinely curious about a niche topic (not something chosen purely for aesthetics or trends).
    • Examples given: astrology, specific history era, niche authors, less-watched sports.
  13. Carry a cute compact mirror and actually use it

    • Chic moment: taking out your compact to reapply lipstick instead of using your phone.
  14. Know how to host

    • Create welcome + ambiance with thoughtful details.
    • Guest-bathroom examples: a nice candle scent, moody lighting, fresh flowers.
    • Mentions “table scaping” as an artistic skill that adds chicness.
  15. Call friends (not only texting/DMs)

    • Chic is maintaining real relationships through direct phone calls.
    • Contrast: not relying only on cold text threads or Instagram DMs.
  16. Use wallpaper (maximalist, intentional design)

    • Wallpaper adds personality and commitment.
    • It’s “chic” because it takes a clear point of view—no indifference.
  17. Set boundaries with your phone / be selectively unreachable

    • Use Do Not Disturb during focused work, romantic dinners, or starting around a nightly bedtime (example: 10 p.m.).
    • The benefit: presence + respect for your attention/time.
  18. Dress for the setting (social fluency)

    • Read the room: dress codes, context, what the moment calls for.
    • Chic = awareness and understanding unspoken social rules.
    • She notes that being over-dressed is usually safer, but knowing when to be casual matters too.
  19. Play a musical instrument (aspirational chic)

    • Timeless and romantic; requires dedication and skill.
    • Framed as “wish I did,” but said to be attractive and hard to fake.
