good things

Hey guys! 

Things are pretty hectic right now, so here's a quick list of good movies I've seen recently:

Marnie, Hitchcock
The Birds, Hitchcock
Shadow of a Doubt, Hitchcock
Singin' in the Rain, Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen
The Purple Rose of Cairo, Woody Allen
Magic in the Moonlight, Woody Allen
In Your Eyes, Brin Hill
The Cameraman, Edward Sedgwick & Buster Keaton
The Circus, Charlie Chaplin

P.S. these are pictures of my "good things" jar. every time something good happens, you write it down and put it in the jar. at the end of the year, you open it and read all the good things that happened

Hey guys!

On the 21st, I went to a Solstice party/get-together and it was abso-freaking-lutely lovely!

The ten of us drank tea, made dinner, ate it, played Cards Against Humanity while watching The Grand Budapest Hotel, talked, played hide and seek, had group hugs/sang a High School Musical song, had a cuddle puddle, and overall had a great time.  

My friend Elena took two polaroids, one of which she kindly let me keep. To take the picture, she would stand up, point her camera at us, and wait until we'd actually return to our conversation, and be ~in the moment~ to take a picture. It made us all laugh to see her standing there, waiting for the right moment to catch us in our ~natural habitat~

Until this outfit, I hadn't layered since the whole wearing a t-shirt over a long-sleeve shirt trend, so this was kind of a change for me... 

Who's that in my necklace, you ask? Oh, no one... Just my husband Evan Peters nbd. Props to Manuela for the rad gift (thank you!)

I finally got my first pair of Docs back in I think November(?) and they were definitely worth the pain of breaking them in. I love them so much! ♡♡
