california needs our help. families have lost everything. animals are displaced and injured. the firefighters need supplies and a vacation most likely when it’s all said and done. so let’s donate.
back tomorrow with regular content.
friday things
this whole house but especially the kitchen.
this facial oil is under 30 bucks and has GOBS of 5 star ratings.
this cabin in the norwegian woods is beautiful and somehow slightly terrifying.
not sure if i wouldn’t go a little jack torrance on everyone.
these joggers are soft and well made. i’d pair them a pair of mid calf boots and a black blazer. (i own this one and it’s GREAT. feels and looks more expensive than it was and i’ve paired it with everything from a slip dress to jeans and it’s just really great.)
oh! and speaking of norway…
have you seen this live stream of a norwegian train?
also this shop for hard to find spices.
i’m 2 episodes in to homecoming and it’s not what i expected. i really like it a lot. it’s smart on them to have called something “homecoming” and cast julia roberts. i suspect no one would’ve expected it to be what it actually is.
have a great weekend!
this is me
ok it’s not literally me but this is basically my outfit goal on any given day.
still working on the hair.
this is the high-ish version of this look.
jeans / sweater / iwantthesesunglassessobad sunglasses / heart earrings (so cute and so affordable i featured them in both versions) / boots / bag
november vibes
last minute halloween costumes
i like these ideas. i’d say depending on your wig collection or your current hair situation some of these might just require a trip to your closet.
ally from a star is born.
pretty straightforward. choker, bellbottoms, cropped tank, leather jacket, red pumps, bag of frozen vegetables.
holly golightly.
oversized tuxedo shirt, eye mask. done.
ariana and pete.
a solid couples costume.
angry serena.
black leotard you could cut. white fabric paint for the nike sign. black tutu or mini skirt. tennis racket.
the marvelous mrs. maisel.
i like this get up but there are so many you could copy. the rain soaked, drunk mrs. maisel is another good one.
the bent neck lady from hill house.
a long white nightgown, some creepy makeup and poor posture are all you need.
theo from hill house.
all you need is a gray t-shirt, high-waisted, cropped black pants, ballet flats or loafers and mid to full-length gloves.
fred rogers!
raid you husband or BF’s closet. carry a shoe.
i’d love to know what you’re going as!
have a safe and fun halloween!!
friday things
just a delightful tiny bathroom. whole house is great.
cold and flu season is upon us. it hit me without warning. one minute i was blowing my nose repeatedly and the next i was under the covers shivering. i had nothing here to help. totally unprepared.
this elderberry syrup is on it’s way. also for what it’s worth i sent mike anderson to the store to get echinacea tincture which i swear does nothing for preventing a cold but works miracles once you’re in the throes of it. i took 5 dropper-fuls yesterday and i felt heaps better after the 4th.
too soon? this shop is having a sale on ornaments.
this sambal oelek roasted chicken couldn’t be easier to make. an overnight marinade (or the morning of if you’re like me and forget to do that) of 5 ingredients plus salt and then dump it all into a roasting pan when you’re ready to cook.
this le labo shower oil is on my list. it’s a cleansing oil and a moisturizer all in one. which is so great for lazy people with dry, winter skin. plus it smells like mandarin and geranium.
did you know anthropologie now sells farrow and ball? it is expensive but let me tell you of all the painting of walls i have done (a lot) the f&b colors have blown me away and i continue to love them years later. i have used teresa’s green, black blue, st. giles blue and london clay. all but london clay still stand. which i loved but got a hair and changed it to a color i hate. so…wallpaper?
this show just got better and better. i found it to be only mildly scary. but i also found myself completely blown away by certain aspects of it. the scenes where they did it all in one take? so so great. it’s also quite sad. family dynamics shit. not what i was expecting. highly recommend.
i like this very much.
