Happy (almost) weekend. I turned 30 yesterday, and as a gift to my future self, I got a one-line-a-day diary to keep track of what my first year in a new decade looks like (I’ve decidedly become very sentimental). Here are a few things I’ll be getting up to this weekend, which I suspect will make their way into future journal entries:
I’m celebrating with a 1920s-themed murder-mystery dinner party — a fitting send-off to my 20s. One thing about my friend group is we always commit to the bit, so I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets their characters in absurdly dramatic ways.
I’m on the hunt for the perfect dress for my sister’s wedding in Indonesia, which has completely broken my brain. But at least I have my accessories figured out. I’m obsessed with the entire jewelry collection at Susmie’s — particularly this gorgeous necklace. And I’ve already mentally packed this wood-beaded take on a cult-favorite shoulder bag. Oh, and I can’t forget the shoes, which I’ll likely wear all summer.
Now that it’s finally warm outside, I’ll spend some time on my roof with Keith McNally’s memoir. His reflections on his travels and the people he’s met — all of which shaped the unique vibes of his restaurants — make for a thoughtful read.
As a (mostly) dairy-free girlie, I’m constantly looking for dairy alternatives — and this hemp milk brand delivers the creamiest substitute I’ve tried. I love the ritual of making a matcha every Sunday, and the nuttiness adds a whole new layer.
