Twelve Things
In which... it's self explanatory, right?
1:
The 5-in-1 by Tony Rosenthal has lived steps from my apartment for my entire life. Its five, enormous, red, metal disks are tucked away at One Police Plaza. Each of the discs is meant to represent the five boroughs. I think it’s spectacular.
2:
Watercolor. I took a class here while in Santa Fe and really loved it.
3:
Fishwife anchovies. My friend, Alex told me to always refrigerate anchovies (she’s a chef, she knows things). Do this. When you take them out let them come to room temperature. You can thank me later.
4:
Maldon salt pinch tins. Once available to purchase on Amazon. Now, sort of impossible to find. I’m still after this one. Not sure how to make that happen
5:
They’re Going To Love You by Meg Howrey. Best book I’ve read in a while.
6:
Aime Leon Dore travel slippers. I’d like these $425 leather travel slippers that come with their own case and the life that goes with them. I might try these that I found on Etsy and fit my actual lifestyle.
7:
I discovered and.bloom through her Instagram account, but she’s got a great blog all about blooming - her euphemism for aging and a sweet online shop, as well.
8:
Carnations! The flower everyone hates on. I love these multi-petal blooms and their price point. Cram tons in a vase like I did below. Gorgeous.
9:
English Teacher. A fantastic TV show - smart, warm, funny. You must watch it. My favorite episode features RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 3 winner, Trixie Mattel.
10:
Pink houses.
11:
Sumos. These mandarin and navel orange hybrids are super easy to peel, have the best texture and are sweet, but not cloying.
12:
Arizona Birkenstocks in Zinfandel. I wear Birkenstocks 80% of the time I am wearing shoes. The ones I love most are monochromatic. Like these:
LOVE! Especially the anchovies and the pink house 💗
REALLY want those Birkenstocks but they are out in my size. :(
