I've been thinking about it a lot * week 28
A string of random thoughts with firm opinions
The 6th month of #theRuleofFive was … my heart went BOOM.
And just like that, what started as the Rule of Five, is no longer it.
It has become NOT about what not to buy, but about personal discovery, research, deep introspection, and peeling the superficial layers of why these unworn garments occupy physical and emotional space.
No biggy.
Love
I want a gold duster like that Miu Miu SS24 look n.50 with a mini pencil skirt like a Margiela’s Semi Couture or that exaggerated bedazzled version from Marc Jacobs July 1st 6-min runway. I know it’s summer, bloody hot, stormy, humid, but soon it’ll be the fall kiddos.
Adore cultivating my collection of Joan Didion’s books. Do you have an author you are passionately in love with?
Fireflies in a field of wheat and poppies.
What do we think about men carrying backpacks as briefcases? Is it even worth having an opinion? I am debating.
Putting mini string lights up the fiddle fig pretending to create a Christmas atmosphere in the summer.
Sometimes all you need is a Pomegranate Rose Elderberry “no bake” Cheesecake
“I’m PRETTY with the silent R” I want it as my work title.
Hate/Love (this week I am a softy)
That perpetual dance between having a great idea and second-guessing myself listening to that insidious voice Someone did that already. And not to turn this into a therapy session, but my therapist is GOOD, she’s the human capable of lifting me out of misery with the poignancy of perfect words. This time we were talking about my jewelry line, f.b.c.reations that ended up hidden in the armoire for ten years until last week, when my daughter resurrected it in all its greatness. The story continues and not that you asked, but the therapist revealed I have known you for three years and I didn’t know of your talent as a jewelry designer. It seems that you hid yourself in that armoire with your necklaces. Beware of armoires and those hate/love relationships.
Something a bit lighter, I have never watched Project Runway or any show with Heidi Klum or Christian Siriano and I am fine. I mean, I am a fashion enthusiast and survived unscathed until now. I don’t know why I had to make it known and probably you love them and I am hurting your feelings.
Florals, more of a hate than a love, but I can be nice and say “I like stripes”
How do you say it in Italian?
La burrata is a strictly summer dish. It’s such a rich food that you don’t, absolutely don’t, need to dress it with olive oil or balsamic vinegar (especially those fake ones made with molasses that aren’t Giusti the official one).
La cartoleria is the place where you buy all your school supplies.
I've been Pretty without the R for a long time now. I think it's on my passport. I've never watched any of those Project Runway shows either. Meh. Just doesn't interest me.
