Things I Love Thursday
[ 22 January 2010 ]

Sorry I’m late… eeeeeeeeeep! Here is my list of maximum adoration for the week!
I love Paris Hilton’s My New BFF (season two, honestly, so good, & who styled Paris in it?! They did SUCH an INCREDIBLE job, she looks FANTASTIC, if you can’t stand shows like this you should just watch it on mute for the eye-candy alone); Victoria’s Secret Soft & Sexy Wrap (I bought a black one the other day & adore it, it’s like wearing a blanket with arms in it! You need one!); setting goals which are important & meaningful to me & sticking to them; good taxi luck (when one appears as soon as you stick your arm up, every single time); doing new things which are nerve-racking but really fun; cuddling with The Dish & feeling so comfortable & happy; Sundance’s Iconoclasts (it’s brilliant, I saw the Brian Grazer/Sumner Redstone one on Sunday & LOVED IT) & Full Frontal Fashion series (I want box-sets); my super-lazy-time outfit (black slip + black cashmere v-neck sweater + black cashmere leggings + black cashmere wrap + Frye harness boots + black wool beanie + black/white eye make-up — obscenely comfortable & total uniform right now); eyelash extensions (blink blink); Coachella (I want to go SO BADLY! Yes please to Jay-Z, Vampire Weekend, Deadmau5, Passion Pit, Echo & the Bunnymen, Fever Ray, the Avett Brothers, La Roux, P.O.S., Wale, Kate Miller-Heidke, As Tall As Lions, Hot Chip, Major Lazer, Dirty Projectors, Z-Trip, the xx, the Raveonettes, Flying Lotus, Pretty Lights, Edward Sharp & the Magnetic Zeros, Phoenix, Orbital, De La Soul, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Yo La Tengo, Florence & the Machine, Yann Tiersen, Little Boots, the Glitch Mob & Mayer Hawthorne!); this photo…

...& wedding invitations (YAY!); L’Institut Sothys (best day ever); walking down Fifth Avenue (I do it so rarely that it is still exciting, invigorating & beautiful); chatting on Ustream with a group of fun people; polka-dots; crazy surreal psychedelic Japanese horror films (House I’m looking at YOU!); getgrossedout.com; drunken baristas who say, “Your blazer is KILLING ME” (I have no photos of it personally but it is this one [!!!] — I bought it on eBay months ago & clipped it to Polyvore so I could make outfits!); coconut chocolate bars; bedtime pep talks; hearing about New Orleans superstition; sparkles; phonecalls with my rad friend in Canada; working on fun new projects; Ophira from AstroStyle (we are going to start having karaoke lunchbreaks together!); candlelit baths; when your outfit is as much of a success in Alphabet City as it is at Bergdorf Goodman; DJ Shadow; “I love Hall & Oates” “LMAO, they have those suspicious moustaches” “That’s where they store their magical powers”; discovering amazing Mexican restaurants right around the corner; i-d-e-a-s; listening to NZ radio stations, & 50 degrees (10 Celsius!) yesterday! So nice to go out without needing five trillion layers, mille feuille, ha!, or as I like to call it, “dumpling wear”.

I am also really excited for summer. I can’t even tell you how much I’m looking forward to it. Sundresses & high heels, spray tans (YES!) & midnight adventures. As my friend Asami says, “Two more months!” Two more months. I can handle it… I’m sure I can…
OH & I signed up for a (fiction!) writing workshop which starts soon! Excitement ++!
Big kisses to you, my warrior of truth & beauty!
