The Elegance Edit: Issue 23

Olga’s Note
Dear Ladies,

As we approach the holiday season, I find myself reflecting on what makes this time of year truly meaningful. It's not the perfect decorations or flawless dinner parties. It's the authentic connections we create when we show up with both grace and genuine warmth.

When I began this newsletter, I hoped to create a space where elegance could serve your real life – not just special occasions, but the unexpected challenges, and moments that test our composure. This holiday season is exactly that kind of testing ground.

Your engagement throughout this year has been extraordinary. The thoughtful questions you've asked, the stories you've shared about applying these principles in your own lives, the vulnerability you've shown in admitting where you struggle – you've transformed The Elegance Edit from my passion project into a genuine community of women supporting each other's growth.

As we move through December's celebrations,

I hope you'll remember that elegance isn't about perfection.

To all of you navigating holiday gatherings whether – with excitement, trepidation, or both – may you find the balance between polished presence and authentic connection and remember that the most elegant gift you can offer is your genuine attention and care, to others and yourself.

The holidays can amplify both our best and most challenging qualities. Use the principles we've explored this year not as armor against difficulty, but as tools for moving through it with dignity and grace.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for embracing growth over perfection, and for showing up – week after week – ready to refine your presence while honoring your authentic self.

With warm wishes for a meaningful holiday season,

Olga Kuznetcova
