Have a Great Weekend.

I have a cashmere sweater from Everlane that I am OBSESSED with. Definitely a Winter savior.
Now, a cashmere sweatshirt? I think I need.

I second the suggestion about watching Better Things but ladies, let’s leave off the “Louis C.K.’s collaborator” cuz she is beyond amazing and he is a VERY PROBLEMATIC SLEAZEF*CK à la #metoo à la Weinstein.

Re: the jeans not going all the way to our shoes.
As a tall girl I struggled to find jeans long enough for YEARS. The whole cuffing, 7/8 thing makes life easier. BUT — I still need my ankles covered in the winter. So for that, I get Levi’s bootcut jeans in the tallest inseam they offer, and Gap’s Long and Lean jeans in size tall.

I think the “ankle” and 7/8th jeans are a ploy to make sure that we all have brand new boots to cover up with in the winter.

I would bury bodies for Pamela Adlon.

She was the bad-bitch little sister in Grease 2 and I have loved so much of her work since: Californication, King of the Hill, all of the Louie projects. and noooooooow we get a view into her brain with Better Things and it’s so beautiful and honest and silly, and heavy and amazingly cinematic with killer music placement. UGH go see it.

Thank you for introducing me to Swissmiss! I just went on a cyber rampage following her networks and subscribing to the Creative Mornings podcast. I can’t wait to start listening to it! Happy weekend! :)

Cannot agree more with the raves for Better Things. So spare, saying so much with simple gestures. The truest depiction of motherhood that I’ve ever seen, it’s breaks my heart open every time. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

The jeans investigation mad me lol. I have a pair of Gap flares/boot cut jeans that I’m saving for when that trend inevitably comes back, though as a person with a shorter inseam (Gap’s “regular” length of 32” was always too long, and the “short” 30” inseam was perfect at try-on but inevitably shrank In the wash to become comically too short) I also kind of love the 7/8 trend.

I love Pamela Adlon, she stole every science in Californication. I was excited for Better Things, but stopped watching after two shows. Gonna give it another try after reading Marla’s comment!

This Friday roundup was spot on with my subconscious. Cold ankles! Obama! Better Things’ tender moments! Brunch strategy (the Westville shoutout in that article brought me right back to freezing outside in my mid-20s)! Big smiles here. X

Hmm. On the one hand I don’t want to look foolish and suffer from “Cold Ankle” but on the other hand maybe those 7/8ths jeans (seriously, who does that?) are easier to cram into knee-high boots. Tricky. Very tricky.

I love Abby’s comment on staying present. I’m definitely going to start doing that now whenever I am out and about!

I’m from Minnesota. People ice fish inside of an ice house. They have heaters and beds and a small kitchen. It’s fancy ice fishing. I guess if you’re really old school you sit on a bucket outside. But who has time for that?

I am LOVING the shorter pants thing, because I’m short and now I can buy pants that I don’t have to get tailored :D

Love Abbey’s comment on imagining strangers’ secret skills!! I sometimes imagine what their home life is like, which makes them seem more regular human-like.
