Wild Summer List


Wild Summer List by Emily:

1.take a picnic with a boy (or girl) you like. make European snacks & lay on big soft blankets under a tree. bring your favorite books and read out loud from them. bring a record player and play Mama's and the Papa's. ...bring a flask of whiskey too....

2. Start letters to a pen pal in a foreign country, get glittery stickers and scented pens and write funny notes back and forth about your lives. - Side note: Neon Lisa Frank stickers are the best choice.

3. Sit out by the pool and do nothing/ aka dress up your dog in sunglasses and put him on a floatie. Get a tan, practice somersaults in the water, drink slushie lemonade on a striped towel. Side Note: Hawaiian tropic baby oil will do wonders for the skin.

4. Start a book list of books you want to read each week. (i,e: Sense & Sensibility, Watership Down, Confederacy of Dunces, ...will make a post about books to read next, not all depressing books i promise)

5. Buy these amazing celebration banners and hang them around the house. Find here: http://www.banterbanner.com/Banners_s/3.htm

4. Have a fancy, but funny, tea party with your girlfriends. Dress up in old victorian dresses and have everybody bring fancy sandwiches and drinks. Project movies on the wall such as Marie Antoinette or old movies like The Great Gatsby.

5. Buy puff paint and sharpies and custom-make your own shirts.

6. Volunteer at a tutoring center to help kids learn to write. 826 LA is an incredible organization and volunteering is relatively easy and very fun. http://www.826la.org/ (and it is hidden in the back of a "Time Travel Mart" that sells fake dinosaur eggs and time travel supplies.

7. Clean and organize your home and make a playlist to play while you're doing it.

8. Adopt a baby pet!!!! I want to do this but i live in a canyon of coyotes so probably not the smartest thing on earth.

9. Take a weekend vacation to an Ace Hotel. (Palm Springs, Portland, Seattle, New York).

10. Play "Grey Gardens" and learn the piano and choreograph dances and perform them in a showcase called "I'm Not Serious".

11. Try and write a children's book , draw out a little character like an alligator or a squirrel and give them a name and a story.

12. Have a bad movie marathon with a theme like "Mel Gibson". Make Mel Gibson themed snacks and have a photoshoot area set up according to the theme.

13. Try to walk instead of drive when going to the store or to eat/drink. (LA i know this wont work unless you live on Sunset and Marathon).

14. Go through all of your old magazines and tear out inspirational pictures, paste them in a scrapbook.

15. Have a garage sale and use the money for something specific (Going to disneyland). Once I made $1,000 just selling everything I didn't wear or use! *Beware you have to get up at 5am because people are crazy about garage sales....

16. Get a massage, facial at Arcona in Santa Monica. http://www.arcona.com/
Best place ever.

17. Take a road trip out of the blue and stay at bad motels all along the way. Stop at landmarks and take polaroids. Meet strangers at bars with no teeth.

18. Make your bed as pretty and as comfortable as you can. Put too many soft pillows and comforters on it, surround it with strings of white lights, pictures of your favorite things, songs written out on paper. Your dreams will be prettier.

19. Make new friends.

20. Learn to cook all-American meals, like twice baked potatoes and fried chicken. Have a dinner party with your friends that's 50's themed. Well I guess now it's obvious I am obsessed with "themes". ahhhha.

A Fine Frenzy

Sunday

"I want people to know that almost everything that concerns them in their daily lives is of no consequence whatsoever. Nothing and nobody is really important, so people, realizing that, should get on with their lives, go mad, take their clothes off, jump in the canal, jump into one of those supermarket trolleys, race ‘round the supermarket and steal Mars bars and, y’know, kiss kittens and sit on the back of bread vans. Whatever makes people happy they should just do it, ‘cos time is a mere scratch and life is nothing."
Morrissey

Chicago---Lincoln Park Apartment

Sorry for my absence... I was apartment hunting in the Lincoln Park area all weekend. After seeing some of the schwaggiest places my friend Cate and I decided to take matters into our own hands and stay an extra day to try to find a place by ourselves. 5 hours of walking and 2 vodka waters at Kinkaid's later....and we found our DREAM place. 

Get ready for lots of interior inspired photos.

Happy Wednesday Beauties.

Happy Easter!
My friend Mary just put Lavender highlights in my hair. I'm not one to take my hair too seriously so obviously I was ready to roll with it....and the results....I love it. It's a way subtler version of the pics above...plus it washes out.
Well Cupcakes...I'm laying in bed with a conditioning mask in my hair. sweet dreams.

Quote of the day

"I have trouble actually describing myself because I’m always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I’m like, “OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?"
Zooey Deschanel
