Americana

Beanie: eBay 
Top: Sandro
Pants: Urban Outfitters 
Espadrillos: Ralph Lauren

Relivin' the days of our youth via good eatin', park frolickin', and funny face makin'. We're a lot calmer now (aka we are basically grandmas), but sometimes we bring out our teenage souls for old times sake. Although we are no longer dancing on cars/playing badminton in the Taco Bell drivethru/eating hamburgers on strangers' lawns, we've still got some vivacity in our feathered veins. Sort of. 

P.S. I've been forcing myself to write again and recently spilled these words onto paper:

Today the stars exploded confetti and you looked at me with your moth wing eyelashes and said “__________” but you didn’t mean it and we both knew it. Imagined closeness like acid tongues dissolving into pink puffball clouds that feel (almost!) tangerine. Raspberry fingers; indoor voices on the beach at 4 am. The sky was lavender and I thought I could see everything, but I really saw nothing whilst you sat right next to me thinking about the softness of stomachs. If curtained whispers didn’t exist behind your words, I wouldn’t perch on windowsills waiting for ghosts and the walls wouldn’t peel years & years. A road without headlights/throwing salt in colorless holes/ocean skin x x x. We swallowed piano pieces in monochrome to fill the vacancy. Then we drove&drove&drove; searching for eternity inside the pixilated letters the voice on the other end of the line the questions left unanswered. Because even satin-bowed lies look pretty from afar.

Very Best Friend

Boater Hat: Forever 21

Plaid Culottes: Vintage
Flats: Urban Outfitters
Watch: Vintage 
Ring: Captain's Helm 

Celebrated the 2nd annual dual birthday bash with Carrie and April today. (If you wanna see the 1st annual dual birthday bash click here.) Unfortunately, we were all extremely hangry so the only decently lit photos are the ones we took in front of Koon Thai Kitchen whilst waiting for our takeout. Once we got our food, we drove to Balboa Park, sat down on the nearest patch of grass, and devoured our respective meals before we could snap any Instagram faux-foodie photos. Sorry not sorry. I guess being hangry trumps everything? Anyways, the rest of the photos turned out grainy because it was dark by the time we finished eating so we had to snap all the photos with flash. I absolutely hate using flash so I made all the flash photos black and white to compensate. 

I also had a horrible headache during all this and I wanted to ask randos for Tylenol, but Georges-Philippe told me no because apparently people put razors in dog treats and leave them in the park. Remember when people used to safely hitchhike across the US? How do we go back there? 

Oh and New York Magazine senior art critic and columnist, Jerry Saltz, favorited and retweeted an article I wrote about him, which means my life has peaked at the age of 23. In a flurry of excitement and Millennialism, I listed this virtual event under the Honors & Awards section of my LinkedIn. But not before asking Saltz's permission via Twitter first. He promptly responded with, "Who the guck actually has any idea what LinkedIn even is!" Which I took to mean, "Yes, you can list our Twitter interaction under the Honors & Awards section of your LinkedIn." #holla
