Luxury Night In
Over the past spring I have developed a higher appreciation for a restful night in where I watch my favorite movies, put on a mask and make a vitamin mocktail (orange juice, pomegranate juice, coconut water & sparkling water - thank me later). My body has been unable to keep up like it used to due to a bunch of mineral and hormone imbalances that have hijacked my bod for the past year. I have been using strategies to make resting fun rather than a source of anxiety so that I can conserve and amplify the little energy I’ve had.
One of my favorite ways to rest is to put on an old film or my favorite records and basically pretend I’m a heiress in a penthouse lol. I make a mineral mocktail, put on my eye masks and lounge in dramatic pajamas. Find my luxury night in picks below!

Five Gloves Wes Anderson Would Approve Of
The films of Wes Anderson are some of my absolute favorites because of their quirky + stylish aesthetics and touching stories of friendships and adventure. The pinnacle of Wes Anderson’s iconic style was reached in The Grand Budapest Hotel - the vintage graphics, gorgeous costumes, and dollhouse-like vibe all feel so elegant and playful.
I came across a photo of these Chanel fur gloves on Pinterest and they gave me such Wes Anderson feels that I came up with the theme of Gloves Wes Anderson Would Approve Of. These ridiculous and deeply fab accessories could adorn any of the guests at The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Tea Room Mood
Garden roses, afternoon tea sandwiches, swans on a pond… these are what my day dreams for summer consist of. I have a summer birthday and this year I am dying to have an afternoon tea in my back yard. I envision my besties coming over all dolled in tiny tea hats, toile dresses and fancy gloves while we drink champagne out of tea cups and eat cucumber sandwiches.
