Denim Shorts 2 Ways
Fact: the last time I genuinely chose to wear normal shorts was in 8th grade. Yes, 10+ years ago and really because I was obsessed with my Abercrombie & Fitch collection of possibly too short shorts. Eventually as an angsty teen I decided to wear the most unflattering longer shorts and I truly wish I could forget this time of my life.
In the Kitchen: More Pizza!
I've been really slacking when it comes to cooking. I've tried to make plenty of new things, but nothing really turned out right. I guess my heart just wasn't in it. But then I decided I really wanted to make pizza (again).
Birthday Playlist 2017
I'm not sure how this tradition began but many years ago I began making playlist for my birthday. They don't contain music I'm currently listening to at whatever given age I may be turning (which actually sounds like a better idea). Instead they take a glimpse back into past years almost like a nostalgic road trip. I try to choose a relevant year and look at the music most popular during that time, but this year I issued myself a little challenge. The formative years of life where we begin shaping who we are range somewhere between ages 8 to 18.
What I'm Wearing
A way back somehow (I'm not very sure how) I began receiving the Goop email newsletter. A long with links to interesting stories on their website the offer tips and tricks, how-to's and product recommendations on fashion and style. At the very end of the newsletter there's a section of clothing and accessories they currently love. I think it's pretty cool because what they choose often puts together a really chic outfit with clickable links to buy.
What I'm Listening To, Volume 2
I don't really have a good theme for this month's mix/playlist. Sure I could do "spring" but it probably would have ended up with a similar feel anyway (and I've done Spring Break). So I've just put together a playlist of stuff I'm really into lately. It's mostly new music (songs or tracks from recently released albums) with a variety of genres.
My Criterion Collection Selections
Wow that's quite a few "tion" words, isn't it? The Criterion Collection is one of my favorite things to ever exist. The Criterion Collection collects the most popular films and packages them with tons of exclusive extras for film lovers to enjoy. They are mastered for the greatest watching quality and new additions are made monthly. The collection has evolved as technology has changed and is currently available for streaming on Filmstruck. There is an expansive variety of directors, countries, and films to choose from.
Spring Beauty Must-Haves
Warmer temperatures means a change in my beauty must-haves. Really anything that keeps me from melting is entirely welcome. A must have in my book is anything that enables survival but keeps me feeling confident.
