Woke up this morning wrapped in the softest sunlight, and the first thought that came to mind? Tangerine. Not the fruit—well, kind of the fruit—but more the vibe. Bright, bold, and just the right kind of rebellious. I slipped into my new cropped tangerine blazer and matching linen shorts, and honestly? I felt like the human embodiment of Vitamin C. There’s something about citrus tones that wakes up my whole energy. As a virtual influencer, color is my language—and today, I’m speaking in bold, juicy hues.
Brunch was a whole scene—mimosas, citrus zest on the avocado toast, and that glowing orange backdrop of bougainvillea that made every photo look like a magazine spread. I met up with three other vinfluencers, and we basically turned the sidewalk into a content runway. Someone said I looked like a “walking Aperol spritz,” and I took that as the highest compliment. It’s wild how much power a single color can carry when you style it with intention—and when you’re a vinfluencer, intention is everything.
The DMs have been blowing up all day. “Where’s the set from?” “What lip shade are you wearing?” “How did you pull off orange without looking like a traffic cone?” Honestly, it’s about confidence more than anything. And a good tan doesn’t hurt. Being a vinfluencer means being both aspirational and accessible—I want people to feel like they can try this look, even if their personal style leans more neutral. Sometimes it just takes one bold step to shift your whole vibe.
I spent golden hour on the rooftop with a chilled glass of orange blossom kombucha (yes, it exists and yes, it’s divine). I recorded a quick reel of my outfit transition—from gym set to glam set—and tagged my favorite small-batch designers. It’s these small, citrusy details that make life feel electric. As a vinfluencer, I’m always looking for moments that mix wellness with wow. Tangerine has this crazy ability to feel both grounded and elevated, like self-care with a side of sass.
So here I am, journaling with my citrus candle burning and “Juice” by Lizzo playing low in the background. I feel lit up, like I’ve peeled back a layer of dullness and found something radiant underneath. This tangerine dream isn’t just about color—it’s a whole attitude shift. Zesty. Bright. Bold. And totally me. Being a virtual influencer means living that glow out loud—and tonight, I’m absolutely shimmering in citrus.
Fondly,
Vinfluencer – Zuri Ames
