5 Soft Life Habits Carrie Bradshaw Would Adopt Before 2026 👠

5 Soft Life Habits Carrie Bradshaw Would Adopt Before 2026 👠

Our goal at Lateffa's Boutique is to empower women to embrace the ability to reinvent themselves. Let's take a look at one of our favorite soft life queens — Carrie Bradshaw — and explore how to become Pretty Optimistic.

💅🏽 Treating Herself

Treating yourself would absolutely be one of Carrie Bradshaw's main self-care tips! Moderate indulgence in your favorite self-care items can, in fact, be a way to embrace the soft life. Whether it's marching down 5th Ave and spending your "me money" on a pair of fabulous shoes, or visiting your favorite boutique to grab a candle that makes you feel cozy, a little retail therapy goes a long way.

✨ Creating a 2026 Mood Board

If we want to go through a lifestyle change, we must see it! Envision your 2026 lifestyle now. Who are you with? What are you doing? Where are you going? Although Carrie's mood board might have been full of clothing and shoes, yours can be whatever your heart desires. I love using Pinterest for my mood board moments.

🖊️ Journaling

Carrie Bradshaw was a writer after all! Part of the reason the soft life movement has resonated so profoundly with women is because it's the opposite of hustle culture. Taking time to relax, unwind, and clear your mind is transformative. According to Psychology Today, the soft life movement is empowering because it emphasizes emotional well-being over productivity.

So, take a moment to grab a pen and paper and have your very own Carrie moment. Journaling is a personal moment between you and you.

🌙 Implementing a Consistent Night Routine

As soon as the leaves begin to fall and the city fills with hues of orange and brown, Carrie Bradshaw would ensure her night routine included gorgeous pajamas, a glass of wine, and maybe even a few candles burning. After all, a girl has to get her beauty sleep during a pivot!

We've read from the National Sleep Foundation that implementing a consistent sleep schedule may have positive effects on both mental and physical well-being — helping you feel more rested, centered, and ready to take on the day.

👠 Organize Her Closet

Have you seen the size of Carrie Bradshaw's collection? Display and presentation are crucial not only for easily pairing your favorite Manolos but also because clutter can increase stress and disrupt focus. Organizing your space is an act of self-care — it invites peace, clarity, and intention into your environment.

As you prepare for your own 2026 pivot, take steps to organize and set yourself up for success.

💋 Bonus: Even Carrie Bradshaw Had to Pivot

Whether it was moving to New York City or becoming a best-selling author, Carrie always knew she had bigger things ahead. The soft life doesn't imply stillness — it means flow. You can be ambitious and gentle with yourself at the same time.

At Lateffa, we believe your pivot is your power — and your soft life is just beginning. 🌸
