Because let’s face it, the ultimate love story? It’s the one you have with you.

Treat yourself with Bianca’s picks and more Single’s Day must-haves right here!

Singles’ Day is all about celebrating independence and self-love. How do you empower yourself and practice self-love in your everyday life?

I like to start and end my day with affirmations followed by my favorite skincare routine! Taking breaks when needed is also so important to me! I’m a health and fitness enthusiast so I get my workout in 4 days a week and enjoy meal-prepping.

Any special rituals or activities to indulge in some "me-time"?

I work from home so when Friday comes I enjoy having a self-care night, especially when I’ve had a long week. I like to cook myself a good dinner and have a glass of wine. Steak & wine night is my favorite! I also like to get cozy and read by the fireplace.

What does empowerment mean to you, and how do you express that through your personal style?

Empowerment to me is the ability to have complete control of my life, overcome challenges and reach my fullest potential. I like to style myself wearing clothes and accessories that make me feel and look good.

The Lumous is such a standout piece! How did you choose to style it?

I chose a black tweed dress to go with the Lumous to keep it simple, but elegant. I styled it with gold accessories to match the watch. Black and gold exude timeless elegance. It’s my go-to color combo!

What are some habits you prioritize to stay grounded and confident, especially when life gets hectic?

Fitness is a huge part of my life. It has saved me a million times through tough times. I always make sure to move my body and eat a balanced diet. As I got older, I came to appreciate the importance of getting good sleep, so I make sure to get at least 7-8 hrs of sleep a day. I also like to spend some time in nature when I’m able to. Hiking is my favorite!

How do you feel that fashion and accessories, like your Lumous, play a role in boosting confidence and self-expression?

It’s important for me and my body to have that special connection with the clothes and accessories I wear. If I don’t feel a spark, then it’s not for me. The Lumous is such a versatile timepiece that is perfect for any occasion!

For those celebrating Singles’ Day, what advice would you give for embracing their individuality and feeling empowered?

It’s important to tell yourself that you are beautiful. You are worthy of love and acceptance. You are who you are. Never let anyone tell you otherwise! Surround yourself with people who genuinely love and value you, and will help you achieve your goals in life.

As someone who’s all about confidence and empowerment, how do you use fashion to reflect those values?

When I wear an outfit that fits me well and suits my style and body type, it makes me feel powerful and confident. When you exude that kind of confidence, not only will it affect people’s perception of you, but also boost their confidence.
