need sale

need supply is one of my favorite online shops. they have wonderfully curated thangs. from high to low and it’s all styled to look like you don’t know the difference. they are having a friends and family sale that starts TO-day. i reckon things will go pretty quickly. like every little abstract bathmat from cold picnic. or maybe this muff mat? 30% off everything site wide. no code. discount applies in checkout. (some brand exclusion applies)

also, need supply is one of my favorite places to shop for gifts. you would be doing yourself a great service if you did a little (or all) of your holiday shopping right now. imagine being done with holiday shopping in october? you could focus on just being happy and jolly for the next 3 months.

here are some of my favorites:

vanilla puff sleeve sweater - under $50!

black ribbed turtleneck sweater - could not love this more. great with anything you pair it with. personally loving the way they’ve styled it here over the satin dress.

pink torso mat - currently just $42.

comme des garcons wallet - that is the happiest blue i’ve ever seen. would make a fantastic gift for your favorite lady.

drink rocks - these are also majorly giftable. and pretty.

hinoki candle - i don’t go for pumpkin candles. this one says fall without the sugar and spice. it’s also currently $23. there are lots of flavors to choose from. and lots of brands to choose from. if you want it to smell like summer forever go for this candle.

old skool vans - sadly these sold out before i had a chance to blink. see all vans options here.

rolling hills table lamp - unexpected and cool.

teddy jacket - i love the collar so much.

aesop geranium body scrub - i have used this before and can tell you it is great. everything aesop makes is great.

notorious oud frangrance - sounds amazing.

classic black boot - i would agree.

pearl drop earrings - eight dollars y’all.

structured beret - i prefer the look of a structured beret over the regular kind.

friday things comin' in late but hot

what a week. i don’t even know if i’ve mentioned this (i get my instagram/blog audiences crossed sometimes) but we are having a giant yard sale on saturday and let me tell you - having a yard sale is work that really eats dick. i’m exhausted. of course my type A personality has me making sure everything is. just. right. i washed and dried and folded TWENTY (read that again) bags of clothes and sticker’d almost all of it. the stickers were late. twice. (wow amazon prime, way to be prime.) anyway that lateness (twice) really set me back. but i finally just finished sticker’n the clothes. which means i’m sipping on a strong pinot noir wishing it were infused with cocaine bc i have a lot more shit to do. my living room looks like a thrift store, my back looks like scoliosis and i’m high on marker fumes.

but let’s dive into the things…

  1. having a yard sale? me toooo!! i found this article and this one very helpful. also, my takeaways from both of these articles and personal experience: you really do need to start planning a month in advance. write a calendar of chores, martha stewart style, and stick to it. for example: week 1- take inventory with PEN AND PAPER of all the things you have to sell. week 2- sort that shit. price it as you sort. trust me here. and order your pricing stickers waaaaaaay ahead of time because they will be late. TWICE.

2. i made pork chops with apples and cider pan sauce and posted it in my insta stories and i got a lot (5) of DMs. i even got a phone call from my friend who needed to know the hard and fast facts.

here’s the recipe. it’s great.

3. halloween approach-eth. indoor halloween decor is typically the worst. but this floral centerpiece is just spooky enough.

4. i do my best internet surfing over coffee at 7 am. this before and after is pretty fucking astounding. esp. when you see the before. those ferns tho.

5. how bout an amazon page made by me of all the best bits? sounds great right? so far my beauty faves (and they really are), kitchen must haves (those too), household essentials and some other great ones. they are always 100 percent approved by me.

ok then. bye.

friday things

do please watch…

i watched this on a whim the other night fully expecting to be disappointed but i fucking loved it. i had never heard of ben platt and he blew me away. this series definitely has shades of glee mixed with a healthy dose of wes anderson. thankfully it feels like an homage rather than a rip off. but it’s the performances that impressed me the most. and the sets and the clothes. lucy boynton is gorgeous in everything. give it a shot this weekend.

nothing remarkable about this house, in fact it’s incredibly dull. but him on the other hand…

have a great weekend my friends.

october vibes

here we are. best month of the year. apart from viruses it’s truly the most magical of all months. it’s a stunning 98 degrees in atlanta today but my weather app tells me there’s only one more day of this horseshit and then it spirals down into the low 80’s-high 70’s for the rest of the foreseeable future. praise hands emoji.

i fucking love october!

bring on the darkness!!!

dark arts paint

lucy boynton in giant pearl headband

chinese vases on the altar table painting

marine serre moon jersey stretch leggings - someone knock these off in 3-2-1….

spider web chairs

black azilal rug - this is an excellent price for such a big rug. i mean, it would show no dirt! isn’t that what you want in a runner? also major october vibes.
