Carrying your party wares in a basket a la jane birkin

This is such a chic and convenient albeit bulky way to pull up to a house party. a basket wont let your things spill or clang together like a tote bag

novelty purses

they add so much cuteness and fun to your outfits!!! one of my top fashion recommendations because they really do enhance everything you are wearing while really bringing charm and personality. my favorites in my collection are my bunny-shaped canvas bag by kara, pigeon bag by venicew, and a literal basket.

musings on bags

Saw this question pop up in the morning and have spent the rest of the day thinking about bags. Turns out I’m harboring a lot of opinions on them. Like flora I agree that you need one in each size (s/m/l). Additionally as a person who treats my clothes and accessories like trash it’s imperative I have a bag that isn’t precious but looks chic. Which is why I always go with a medium sized leather bucket bag in a fun or neutral color. I go through one every 5 years. In college I had my mom’s 70s Dooney and Bourke, when I moved to New York I treated myself to a Creatures of Comfort (RIP) and recently I scored an OAD bag (also maybe RIP?) off The Real Real. Bucket bags fit everything, but don’t look like you’re schlepping your whole life in there. I also like going bagless and using just a Petit Pli mini pocket that I wear around my neck. There’s enough room to tuck a card and a key in too. On the XL size I love my Baggu cloud bag. It’s the absolute goat for travel because it also is collapsable!

Trying to understand the 4th dimension

My biggest regret in life is that I am not a physicist. I took physics in high school and almost did not pass the class, but I felt passionate about the subject. The poetry of mysterious concepts such as, “general relativity”, “wave particle duality”, and  “the 4th dimension”, filled my teenage imagination with wonder. To this day, when I feel bored/asleep in my life, I watch videos about black holes or string theory and it helps my mind re-open to the unknown. My favorite video of all time on YouTube is this one, where Carl Sagan, (the mister rogers of science), calmly and gleefully explains ways to visualize the 4th dimension. It made me realize that we do not just HAVE shadows, but we ARE shadows of a higher dimension. How exciting!

Cold War

This is the most stunning film I have ever seen. I have rewatched it countless times and each time it feels like a gift. My dad’s side of the family is from Poland so I feel extra proud of this one, but even my non-Polish friend’s who have seen it come away feeling  inspired. Please watch it even if you think you aren’t interested in black & white foreign films. Even if you have no soul, the actors are so smoking hot gorgeous magical that you will be obsessed. The director, Pawel Pawlikowski, is a genius.

Talking to friends about dreams

Dreams! I love having them and I love hearing about them. When I ask my friends what they dreamt, I get to know them more deeply. I love watching my friend’s eyes grow wide and stare within as they try to recall a dream about their mom becoming a poodle at the barbecue with corn kernels falling from the sky. No one is safe from the feral disturbing images of the subconscious. I want to connect my weird inner world with the weird inner worlds of my friends. p.s. the music video for my song, Bump, was inspired by a dream I had about a tall man with teapots for feet.
