Listening:
"Love Forever" by The Babe Rainbow.
Another case of a modern band looking and sounding old. Still, the song is catchy and feels like the perfect day before Valentine's Day pick.
Reading:
"One Part Plant" by Jessica Murnane.
I know I mentioned this just a couple of weeks ago, but my advanced copy came in the mail today and it is superb!
First off, the foreward by Lena Dunham is wonderful. Second, I want to make everything. Third, it makes plant-based meals easy and approachable. I'm more likely to make things again and again if the recipe doesn't confuse me or require extensive grocery lists.
Plus, the glimpses of Jessica and her wardrobe and family are beautiful. I want what she is eating and wearing.
It comes out Feb. 21! (via amazon)
Craving:
Dates!
Particularly Medjools or Deglet Noors. Plain, stuffed with almond butter, thrown in a smoothie, covered in chopped nuts... I am liking any and all varieties.
Bucket list: get a date shake in Palm Springs.
I could make my own, but still, I really want to go to Palm Springs. (image by Alex Lau via bonappetit)
Wearing:
A faux fur bomber.
I had a couple holiday returns and exchanges, so that left me with some gift funds to use for something new. I had been eyeing this faux fur bomber after seeing it posted on Studio DIY, and when it went on sale, I decided this would be my belated present.
The color is amazing. I only wish it would actually get cold again here in Florida.
Dusty pink: the color alone is worth it. (via asos)
Watching:
"Girls."
Last night, the first episode of the final season aired. It was a really good one. Without spoiling anything, my favorite parts were: Riz Ahmed, the "Modern Love" column and Montauk ocean feelings.
I've been watching this show since the beginning and have always appreciated Lena Dunham. I feel like as a 20-something female in flux (life and confusion and emotions and dreams), I can always relate on some level.
I'm excited for this last season and a bit sad for the end.
These scenes really made me feel nostalgic for vineyard summers. (image via HBO)
Wanting:
Glittery, shimmery, sparkly socks.
Perfect for this in-between weather, I could use a selection of sparkling ankle socks.
