never trust anyone over thirty

She came to a party at my mother’s. The maid said, “Can I take your coat?” She said, “No, I don’t think so. I’m a little cold.” Later Edie told me the real reason she didn’t want to take her coat off was that she wasn’t wearing any clothes under it. I was about five years old at the time. I thought it was funny that she would come to a party with no clothes on, just a coat. We had funny conversations. I would say “Hi,” and she would say “Hi,” and then I would say “Hi,” and we’d just keep on saying “Hi,” “Hi,” “Hi,” to each other. It seemed like she had so many friends, but when you really looked at her face, it was like she never had any friends.

NOTORIOUS

Coney Island. Chunky Jewels. Wild Hair. Small children mid-sponge-bob-swing towards Cara Delevingne's thigh. What  could be better you might ask? Nothing! Nothing could be better than watching Cara attempt to fit a swimming goldfish in her mouth complete with the plastic bag.

GIRL CRUSH: Sofia Coppola

For a long time, Sofia Coppola seemed a far too obvious choice for a Girl Crush post. Stills from her films have seeped their way into almost every one of my blog posts (relevant or not) and my mother has finally learned that when I refer to an unidentified Sof, I am referring to her. However, my obsession was revamped last week when after a long foam and drizzle dinner in Chelsea, I came face to hair with my ultimate film muse. Strolling down the street, arm in arm with a jolly old man wearing a bow tie, Coppola looked so unapologetically cool that I lost my cool and followed her for a block and half until my brother told me I was verging on unapologetically creepy. That night, I re-watched Somewhere and the Virgin Suicides and was reminded at how well Coppola is able to say so much by saying so little. Her work makes me feel incredibly nostalgic for memories I never had and leaves me with images of wispy hair and high school and longing for days after. Actress to model to muse to filmmaker, Sof is a perfect example that some girls really can do it all.
