your @/.com?
how do you take your coffee/tea?
I take my coffee and tea black most days, but sometimes add a little oat milk to my coffee!
describe your style in 3 words:
baggy
cottage-core
soft
your go-to stay-home outfit?
Overalls almost daily!
a Song/album you have on repeat:
In the kingdom by mazzy star and coney island baby by lou reed! both are the perfect melancholy spring songs:)
what keeps you grounded?
mornings! it feels like a fresh start. each day I open my window and do some stretches/ movement before showering and making a nice breakfast and its the best part of my day!
fav meal to make at home?
Pancakes for breakfast and green curry for dinner!
what/who inspires you?
creation in any way that feels right that day — whether it be drawing, writing, collaging, or taking photos that day! making something tangible is when i feel most whole and like myself in whatever form it may take.
a hobby you do, and one you've always wanted to try?
I started playing around with crochet and embroidery more recently which has been really fun! Something I want to learn is machine sewing so I can repurpose material into something I love!
what makes a home?
for me, I am a very sentimental person! my room is a very personal thing to me and so my walls are covered in photos, illustrations and lots of things I've collected / made over the years. It's a little bit childlike but to me it feels the most authentic for my space!
1 little moment that brightened your day recently:
I've been running in the mornings super early when no one is up and I love seeing the sunrise! it's a great feeling to see the sky change along with my surroundings and in my neighbourhood I'm usually one of the very few people out at that time, it's very peaceful! i also found a big patch of flowers on a hill while walking the other day and it looked like a little fairy cottage!
what are you reading/listening to/watching?
right now i'm about 100 pages into middlesex by jeffrey eugenides and i've been really engrossed in it! I also just finished all 7 seasons of boy meets world... i just started rewatching lizzie mcguire, such comfort food haha! I've also been listening to all of Lauren Rose's vaginaslims podcast on soundcloud- she has great music / film taste and her voice is so peaceful to listen to!
fav vintage item you own?
ahh such a hard question! either my dream mid-wash wide leg levis or my light grey crewneck! both simple but i've gotten so much wear from them and i can see them having a place in my wardrobe for a very long time!
