Oh, hey doll.

Glad you're here.

Notes

Aprés Ski

Baby pink ski suits, iridescent puffer jackets, fur boots, and knit balaclavas - these are what snow babe dreams are made of. In preparing for an upcoming trip to Aspen, I shopped around for snow gear that I would want to wear again and again. I fell in love with the Miu Miu ‘21 winter show and all of the pastel, puffy glory. The balaclavas really stole the show for me and I had to try my hand at knitting one for myself. I have a pic of how it turned out in the next post + all the outfits I planned!

NYC Packing List

I’m traveling to NYC with friends next week and here is what I’m bringing to wear. The weather in New York in early May hovers around the mid 60’s so I plan on bringing layers and sleeved items + pants and longer skirts/dresses. I’ll probably be cycling through a version of this outfit since its easy + chic and I’d rather spend my time enjoying the city rather than dealing with a fussy outfit!

  • Crispy cotton or linen button downs

  • Black Gucci loafers

  • Comfortable pants, dressed up athletic slacks (these are Club Monaco)

  • Black velvet hair accessories

  • Large bag/tote (this is my own design)

Luxury Night In

Over the past spring I have developed a higher appreciation for a restful night in where I watch my favorite movies, put on a mask and make a vitamin mocktail (orange juice, pomegranate juice, coconut water & sparkling water - thank me later). My body has been unable to keep up like it used to due to a bunch of mineral and hormone imbalances that have hijacked my bod for the past year. I have been using strategies to make resting fun rather than a source of anxiety so that I can conserve and amplify the little energy I’ve had.

One of my favorite ways to rest is to put on an old film or my favorite records and basically pretend I’m a heiress in a penthouse lol. I make a mineral mocktail, put on my eye masks and lounge in dramatic pajamas. Find my luxury night in picks below!

Five Gloves Wes Anderson Would Approve Of

The films of Wes Anderson are some of my absolute favorites because of their quirky + stylish aesthetics and touching stories of friendships and adventure. The pinnacle of Wes Anderson’s iconic style was reached in The Grand Budapest Hotel - the vintage graphics, gorgeous costumes, and dollhouse-like vibe all feel so elegant and playful.

I came across a photo of these Chanel fur gloves on Pinterest and they gave me such Wes Anderson feels that I came up with the theme of Gloves Wes Anderson Would Approve Of. These ridiculous and deeply fab accessories could adorn any of the guests at The Grand Budapest Hotel.

  1. Lace Gucci Gloves

  2. Green Gucci Gloves

  3. White Chanel Gloves

  4. Pink Leather Gucci Elbow-length Gloves
