the first photo of the year and a collage i’ve been working on, and a lot of beginning of the year tidying: to organize something is to love it.

1. the top of my to do list for this year to stop hesitating / second guessing and just do the thing, reminding myself that perfectionism is just self induced procrastination

2. very invested in stephen king after staying at the stanley it’s rare i enjoy fiction but i do love a universe, and i am fully immersed. currently on needful things, which i did not realize was where i had heard the phrase when i called a column on the previous version of the blog by that name

3. optics are exhausting but so are party dresses and sometimes you have to put them on

4. currently very invested in pink: adding a pink hue to photos, pastel pink hair dye (faded now but getting a refresh later this month), pink walls, i blame the valentino pink from a few years ago imprinting itself on me and being barbie’s cerulean blue and spreading it around

5. the 2016 makeup era was now a decade ago, i put on a liquid to matte that i repurchased sometime in the last year (black moon cosmetics, i think in gloom) in memorian

6. i am not a journal prompt girlie but i do love a list

7. the rick owens winter 25 collection made me think of the evil queen’s cape collar from snow white

8. xmas shopping for my 17yo niece led me back into y2k era fashion and made me miss the steve madden sneaker heels i had in the aughts. late night poshmark scrolling found a pair one size too large, should i get them and double thick sock it?

   *editing to add in a photo of the shoes in question to help with your decision on whether or not i need them again

   

9. trying very hard to be interested in the new stranger things but the long heart to hearts in the middle of chaotic action scenes is killing it for me, and i keep confusing this storyline with welcome to derry because the kids look 27 years older in these final episodes

10. i firmly believe going analog is a trend because two factor login is infuriating
