quickie!

whoa! i disappeared under a mountain of thanksgiving in london, billy elliot, guacamole, flying to the island of jersey, celebrating my birthday at my first michelin-starred restaurant, and playing wardrobe consultant to rich in topman. more coming soon, but here is a photo that best sums up the last several days:

i turn 26 tomorrow!

also ALSO!

we are going HOME on tuesday. aka the day after tomorrow. how it's possible that 4.5 months have gone by remains a mystery.

also also ALSO!

the word "also" looks like a fake word if you type it often enough.

be back soon!

oregon trail wedding

i'm so torn between thinking the wedding of lauren bush and david lauren was stunning or hilarious (read the comments).

also, doesn't david lauren look like a young james spader?

ps: she can change her name to lauren bush-lauren, but she'll always be lauren lauren to me.

pps: you know....for all our correspondence and stuff.

V.I.T.

Very. Important. Things.
I NEED to have the following items with me at all times.
There are other items I feel I can't live without,
like q tips (ohhhhhh, q tips),
but these are my non-negotiable, on-my-person, i-am-in-a-bad-mood-without-them necessities:

Not having sunglasses can essentially ruin my day. Dramatic? Yes. True? Basically.

Only Burt's Bees, only the original, only in the tube. I have loved Burt's Bees since it was only available in specialty shops and it only came in a tin. I've messed around with the honey and pomegranate and mango flavors, but they are all harlots who tried to get me to abandon my one true chapstick love.

I feel like everyone has one pet peeve that is universal but they are certain it affects them more than anyone else. Mine is hangnails. I. Cannot. Handle. Them. And I feel like I have them constantly. If I don't have a nail clipper, I have to buy one. Immediately. 


What prompted this post?

A day without the above items.
