Weekend Reading, 5.2.20.

Weekend Reading 5.2.20

Well friends, it’s MAY! How did that happen? And also, it’s weird that we will soon have been social distancing for a full two months. Wow. This week felt better? Like, not great,  but also not terrible? I am not loving being locked inside but am also not dealing with paralyzing anxiety? So we’re good! Yesterday I finished work and took a nice long walk around Brooklyn which felt great. Then I came home, poured a glass of wine… put on Clueless, and made ice cream. Perfect little night. I’ve been giving myself little projects to do around the house every day. This weekend I think I may tackle organizing my bookshelves. We’ll see. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great… stay safe and healthy!

Weekend Reading 5.2.20

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to try the Whiteclaw Slushie. It’s intriguing. Anyone else think it sounds kind of good??

Looking for cute, inexpensive pajamas? Try these or these.

I bought these sheer curtains for my living room and love them – they make such a difference and let a ton of light in!

On daytime vs nighttime pajamas.

This $30 floral dress is so cute (and could totally be a “house dress” right now!). This green satin wrap dress is also beaaautiful!

Very very excited for Andre Leon Talley’s upcoming memoir. I pre-ordered my copy (through Bookshop!) on Thursday.

Such a pretty smocked gingham top!

This happy hour was everything.

Isn’t this feminine apartment just a dream!?

Another great pair of Celine lookalike sunglasses.

    I made ricotta gnocchi last weekend and it was the best decision! Very easy plus can be frozen, so perfect for cooking for one.
