We all know THAT girl. The girl you stalk on Instagram while hand bombing hot cheetos before bed. The girl who's life looks like it was straight out of a movie. The girl that can wear sweats and still look like she took 3 hours to get ready. THE main character.

Well we can all be that girl, or at least on the outside. Because dressing and acting like the person you want to be will almost always get you there.

Let's break it down into some simple things that you can probably already achieve on your own.

An aspirational jewellery collection
A clean room
An extra AF skincare routine
A hot girl water bottle
A simple manicure
A quick go-to hairstyle
An organized planner
A matching set

Accessorizing

You don't have to splurge on jewellery to have a set of pieces that will have everyone asking how you always look so put-together. Decide if you're going with silver or gold, and grab a necklace, a pair of cute hoops and throw on some rings. Even if you're wearing a sweatsuit you WILL look like a million bucks.

I use this stack of necklaces, these rings, and these hoops daily.

A Clean Room

I know as well as the next person that keeping your room clean can be next to impossible when you're going through it. If nothing else, make sure that your bed is your sanctuary. Invest in sheets that you love, spray your pillows with a mist before bed, and make your bed every morning, even when it sucks. Feel free to post a celebratory Instagram story once it's all done. TRUST ME, you will thank yourself later.

Here are my favourite sheets, duvet cover, pillow mist and weighted blanket.

Skincare Routine

You probably already have a solid skincare routine lying around that you haven't used in months because you got busy. Whether it's in the morning before you take on the day or at night before you scroll through your Tiktok feed, taking the time to yourself to make your skin look and feel amazing is so worth it.

I start with a hyaluronic acid, move onto a moisturizer that I love, apply some eye cream to de-puff, and seal it all in with a facial oil. When I'm really feeling extra I use my facial roller that I keep in the fridge.

The Hot Girl Water Bottle

It's crazy how doing something as simple as carrying your dream water bottle or tumbler can change your outlook on life, lol. Not only will it make you drink water, but it will make everything you do just a little more ~aesthetically pleasing~.

I'm currently obsessed with the Stanley tumbler and the Hydroflask.

That Hailey Bieber Manicure

We were all briefly losing our minds over Hailey Bieber's manicure, but you don't have to go get your nails done to feel this cool. Run to your nearest drug store and pick up a neutral nail shade so you can look like you know what you're doing at all times.

I love going for a few coats of the O.P.I. Bubble Bath.

A Quick Go-To Hairstyle

Whether it's a slick bun, pulled back with a claw clip or styled with a blow dryer, accepting your natural hair is all the rage right now.

I love to dry my hair with my Revlon hair brush and pull it back with a cute clip. It takes 15 minutes out of my day and adds a new level of confidence, even if I'm just running errands.

An Organized Planner

OK even I need to get better at this. I know that when I do use my planner regularly, I feel like a new person. Even if I have nothing to do, I'll set aside blocks of time for each chore or activity.

I'm currently obsessed with this planner.
