since it's been such a long time since we last enjoyed one another's company, we have a lot to catch on which to catch up. so in the interest of time, here's the headlines and items most occupying my brain space at the minute.
what i'm watching:
american horror story: apocalypse.
i've been a fan of the anthology series since season one, but have only had the intrepidity to complete four out of the previous ten season. of those four, two are my absolute favorite and ryan murphy has heard my prayers by opting to write a collaboration between season 1 (murder house) and season 3 (coven). not only is he reprising some of the most popular characters and storylines, he's added a dash of nuclear holocaust for good measure. last wednesday's premiere was hands down the best one of the series; comprised of just enough humor and horror to make me ravenous for more.
what i'm recommending:
i'm such a lemming for anything gwyneth paltrow shills, the woman could recommend ingesting a tapeworm and i would probably run right out to whatever specialty store carried them and swallow with a giant bottle of evian. thanks to this subliminal inclination of mine i have to be extra wary of making purchases just because they have the goop logo emblazoned on it. but after seeing countless beauty blogger guru's shout this masks praises from their topiary covered rooftops i knew i had to give it a try. as a cosmetic loyalist, i'm very attached to the items in my repertoire, but after seeing the result of this mask, it has solidified itself as one of my staples. it's like having the pregnancy glow without the pesky weight gain and hormonal fluctuations.
who i'm loving:
noah centineo:
unless you’ve been in a medically induced coma for the past month, you’ve probably heard of the crush heard round the world. in mid august centineo made he’s breakout appearance in the netflix adaptation of the popular tween novel “to all the boys i’ve loved before” and two weeks ago he dropped another stellar (read: smoking hot) performance in sierra burgess is a loser. is it slightly alarming that a woman a breath away from her third decade on earth is lusting after a 22 year old, perhaps, but you watch these movies and try not to fall in love.
what i'm reading:
a previous reese witherspoon book club selection, and soon to be a motion picture produced by the star, gail honeyman’s book is both hilarious and heartbreaking, following a socially awkward 30 something as she finally begins to immerse herself in the world in which she has previously only survived.
what i'm lusting over:
in case you needed more evidence that every fashion trend from the 90s and early 2000s is getting a resurgence, Dior has opted to bring back one of its iconic pieces. first introduced during john galliano’s reign at the fashion house, and made popular by every it girl at the time (think paris hilton and sjp), the brand reintroduced the newly improved bag during their fall 2018 shows and is available nationwide. it just made the top of my wishlist.
what i'm annoyed by:
in case you didn’t catch my rather outspoken opinions of yet another whirlwind engagement, i’m not here for this union. unlike the other two couples (pete davidson & arianna grande and justin bieber and hailey baldwin) priyanka is way too old to be acting this foolish and impulsively. (honey, we know you were dying being upstaged by your former d-list bff marrying a literal prince, but this is not the way to make yourself relevant again, but i digress.) and just as my annoyance with their gluttony for attention was dying down, they choose to copy her besties engagement photo pose. not cool girl, not cool at all.
