About Clara

based in Charleston, SC

I love to film & capture the real moments in life, in my own aesthetic, curated way: the recipes I actually make, the messes I actually clean, and the products I keep coming back to.

Whether it’s a typical day at home or a spontaneous weekend trip with friends, I've been sharing what life really looks like in my 20s & I love that you're along for the ride.

The basics:

I’m 25 (a cancer, if you’re curious) and a somewhat recent Charleston transplant. I city-hopped for the first few years of post-grad (Alexandria, Arlington, and Raleigh) before I settled down in the city that I kept planning long weekend trips to: Charleston. 

I purchased my first home here about a year ago and renovated it into my dream space. Needless to say, I think my city-hopping has been put on pause! Charleston is one of a kind & I'm so happy to call it home. 

you can find me...

At the thrift store multiple times a week, working on some DIY project that’s likely going to cost more than just buying the original thing, or organizing some random corner of my home for the 1oth time. 

I love a project & something to keep my creative juices flowing!

Fun Fact: 

My last name is actually pronounced “purse,” but you’ll almost always hear me say “pierce.” It just makes life easier and helps me avoid the endless “wait, how do you say it?” conversations that were a regular part of my childhood.

oh, and i have a pet bunny named Polly!
