FLINGS FOR NOW

T-shirt dresses. Ok, stay with me here. I ordered one of these from Urban Outfitters, I don't really know why - I didn't really establish what the term t-shirt dress even meant to me, but I did know I would not wear this as a dress. I liked the shirt. Whelst, it arrived and it's so oversized and perfect for... SLEEPING! I've been wanting to redo my whole sleeping wardrobe situation b/c I couldn't settle on a combo I liked (legs have to be out, sleeves short, can't be silk) - et voila! A young people's dress = an elder millenial's sleep shirt. They have lots of cute ones.

Well if a drop of needlepoint pillows has ever been iconic - it's this one. ten new sayings, all set to ship in a few weeks. pre-order is open now, so if you want your house to be a home with one of these, you'll need to order now b/c our batches go super-fast nowadays. Here are a few of my faves from this new set:

I went to Santa Monica last weekend for a workshop at Goop Headquarters (yeep! I know!  more on that later).  What is now notable is I stayed at the Proper Hotel (my first visit) and found it wonderful.  I was so tired, I think because of that human I am raising and all things associated with that) that I barely left my room when I wasn't at Goop, and that was just fine, because the room was A+stylez.  It's nice to be in a space Kelly Wearstler did, and all the magic that comes with that, but it be livable, and practical.  Sometimes her rooms are so larger than life it's hard to even imagine how they'd work, but the hotel is designed for efficiency, and style and that combo really works.  Room service was chef's kiss, the gym was great (I'd never done a treadmill Peleton class!) and the beds were lux👏🏼zher👏🏼rious.

We've got a new restaurant in Raleigh: East End Bistrot. It's right by the Furb Warehouse, in the backyard actually, so I was eager to try the newest addition to the 'hood. My friend Tula decorated the space and it is a real moment. The food is great (think steak frites, escargot, creme brulee), there's a lovely patio situation and although it's tough to get a resy online, I've found there's usually space to walk in most nights. If you visit, make sure to check out the bathroom wallpaper. It's my fave.

For new house, I need some storage in Vincent's room. Now, I have a custom built-in by Cali Closets - and I was able to be real particular with what we needed: closed storage behind doors, open shelving for books and toys, and closed drawers for sheets. I've been spoiled with practicality, and I'm looking for a ready-made piece I can order to achieve a lot of that. This cabinet from Anthro caught my eye. Super classy, and I love the marble top on there. There are a few takes on this style, plus lots of color options:

If we were at all worried that life without Logan Roy was going to be boring, we were really fucking stupid.  Things I am particularly enjoying:

-Roman's dismissive one-liners
-Shiv and Tom rekindling
-The reemergence of Kendall's alter-ego's (add the clouds!)
-Gerry.  I always enjoy Gerry
-The Swede is sexy
Also notable: the recaps on Tik Tok that cover all the cleverly placed easter eggs in the show.  Can't get enough!
