How To: Throw Yourself a Pity Party

Speaking of staying in....

How To: Throw Yourself a Pity Party

Provisions:
1. Alcohol. Whatever floats your boat.2. Lounging gear. Opt for cozy knits and a warm water bottle to hug.3. Food. Sometimes only ice cream will do the trick.4. Music, Movies & Journaling. I’ve watched Casablanca since high school and it still does the trick. I also posted my weepiest tunes on 8tracks and Spotify. Totally subjective and personal, but yeah, Radiohead makes me bawl.
Best Practices (for good measure):
1. Lay off the social media. This is an intimate party and odds are you’re not your “best self” in this state of mind. And let’s be honest, it’s probably pretty irritating to everyone else, too.2. Reach out to someone you can trust if you need support. Talking through things often helps us move on.3. Remember that everything looks better in the morning light. You’ll feel better tomorrow, I promise.

Can someone please give Ice Cube his own TV Show?

Girls on film

Not only offering a great take on Clothes On Film this site also offers a reading on costumes that makes me feel smart for wanting the above jacket for my very own (and Margot's Tenny dress) and waiting with baited breath for a reading on some of my faves including Heathers!

I'm living a Teenage Dream

Hairspray

Gas Food Lodging

Beetlejuice

Teenage Dream

I love these forearm tattoo's even though all of mine are upper arm and chest maybe i should venture further down next time. The first one with that sweater is a pretty epic swoon.

Crumple Maps

When it is a beautiful starry night Mr Palomar says, "I must go and look at the stars". That is exactly what he says- "I must"- because he hates waste and believes it is wrong to waste the great quantity of stars that it is put at his disposal. - "Mr Palomar" by Italo Calvino

Buy me one from here

Get on My Wall

I'm getting a bad addiction to movie posters. I really want the Badlands one most of all.

All I ever wanted was a little pink house with a blue door

Partly because its been so cold and partly because I've been so lazy I haven't been leaving the house much. Therefore I'm living a bit vicariously through movies at the moment and I've been watching quite a few Winona Ryder classic's including 'Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael' and I officially want to live in a pink house.

Second hand books are wild books

Anthropologie

Pottery Barn

Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.
- Virginia Woolf

I think I must be in a bit of capitalist frenzy at the moment as everywhere i look there seem to be things I want to buy - which is most exhausting when one has no funds!

These two I think I will come back to but how great would it be to have a book themed room/hallway in your house? This wallpaper and chandelier could be just the start of a great library!

books in cigarette packets! i can't tell whether this is awesome and essential or frivilous and ridiculous. either way i have a strong urge of need to buy this asap.

“Los Angeles is just New York lying down”

Thom Andersen's film-essay masterpiece Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003)

Los Angeles more than any other city is defined by the movies made there.

Home of my Own

I've recently gotten a bit obsessed with home design. Which is laughable considering I live in a share house in one of the most under decorated rooms of all time (perhaps a slight exaggeration). I stand by the fact that when you don't own yr own home, stuff you can't just throw away just weighs you down - yes I am a veritable beat poet (not quite). However its never too early to start planning your dream abode is it? Yes I am actually a middle class 50s housewife waiting to break out - sorry.
