And s’Morbid Summer is finally here on the east coast, Boils & Ghouls!!!
Let us celebrate this Summer Solstice 🌞 and all the fun and spooky activities awaiting us!
(and if you’re a horror reader & have a morbid curiosity, consider joining our haunted clubhouses as we begin our s’Morbid Summer over on Fable as well 👀👇🏻)
But before we get into tonight’s blog…
Fashion Friday Icon 🤩
Steffi’s aesthetically pleasing expression of moody and dark vibes is definitely on point when channeling that dark boho, whimsigoth look in any capacity!
I found her while searching on my Youtube feed for dark and moody home decor inspo videos and realized then and there I found a hidden gem on the platform (so naturally, I had to look up her other accounts 👇🏻)
From dark decor style guides to incredibly captivating room designs, I’m totally mesmerized by her designs and eye for truly cultivating a mood with those cozy and chic vibes 👀
(and I cannot express enough how her YouTube channel is filled with aspiring videos to help you make your spaces into your very own moody dreamscapes, as we will soon see 😍)
For tonight’s TGIF blog post, I wanted to discuss a few styles I’ve recently been obsessed with and also talk about how I plan to incorporate and infuse them into my own personal design sense…
Since you can’t take the emo out of the kid, embracing a moody and dark aura seems to be what’s calling to me this summer (and yes, you can still be dark and colorful, you’ll see 😈)
Inspirational sources like Steffi (from Moda.Misfit) & Elli (from Yourspookymom) that really scream this moody darkness that feels comfortable and effortlessly chic speaks to me, and I really want to try and embody the essence of Dark Boho 🔮 & Whimsigoth 🖤 vibes this summer…
Diggin’ the blog aesthetic? You should consider 👇🏻
Dark Boho & Whimsigoth 🔮🖤 Vibes
As always, I never quite fit exactly somewhere and I’m always blending vibes together to try and find my essence… hence why I feel like I embody both styles and energies, in my fashion and home decor aesthetics.

The vibes are immaculate, in every sense of the word, and I love how you capture the moody & chic coziness when stylizing your outfits and room designs around cultivating this dark bohemian, whimsically gothic aesthetic!
Moody Dark Cruel Summer LookBook 👀
Thinking ahead to east coast s’Morbid Summer, I have a few ideas and looks I want to try and recreate this year that really capture that moody and whimsical dark gothic boho energy!
Still using the layering system (as we tend to get a lot of wind off the coastal harbour and it can be cold) with comfy long sweaters and dusters, but excited to bring out the platform sandals and flowy maxi dresses with my circle sunglasses 😎
I know I did a challenge (with myself) last month to create my style formula & figure out my quick pick outfits a lot easier, and I haven’t given you the results of that little experiment yet 🙈
However, I will do a recap on the outcomes of BOTH of these formulaic fashion experiments next month (July ’25) WITH photos, I promise.
If you want to check out any of my outfit photos or where I’ve purchased any of my clothing items, you should check out Parallel (sign up for free) and the incredible app that allows you to earn $$$ by sharing your photos and links to the items you own!
(Not sponsored either, I just love the platform.)
So glad we’re heading into the weekend, lovely souls! Some rest could do this ghoul good…
Drop a 🌖 if you’ve read this and drop in the comments below some of your favorite summer vibes!
Until we meet again,
Are you planning to watch Midsommar tonight?
