Universe, please keep me soft, but hard to fool. Surround me with energy that pours back into me. Expose what’s not real. Elevate what is. And when I forget who I am, bring me home.

Staying consistent even when it’s not immediately rewarding is where the shift happens.

what a beautiful feeling it is to finally get over someone and realize that it was your adoration of them that made them so special. without that, they’re quite basic. just proof that the magic lives in you, not them.

Favorite Clothing Brand?

Helsa is probably my favorite brand at the moment. I think half of my closet is Helsa, and I find myself buying and wearing a lot of Elsa Hosk’s brand as of late. I’ve never had any trouble with what I’ve bought; the quality has all been really nice, and the fit and length have been perfect for me. I will say that I feel like a lot of the pieces are priced like investment pieces but, in reality, have a bit too much polyester to be worth the price they are, but all in all, I buy from the brand because I love what I own so far and enjoy the way and feel everything looks when it’s on my body.

what a privilege it is to become the person you used to pray to be

I saw what I wanted in my mind’s eye and decided I could have it. I decided that nothing was too grand, nothing was impossible or out of my reach, and nothing would hold me back from getting it. I thought to myself, “I would like to be beautiful", and so with a lot of work and planning, beautiful was what I became.

i love you shy women. i love you melancholy women. i love you aging women. i love you perverse women. i love you romantic women. i love you strange women.

I feel like my conception of It girls was deeply shaped by growing up in the 2000s…I simply don’t believe that anyone who is chronically online can ever be a true It girl. It girls aren’t supposed to take loads of photos of themselves, they’re supposed to be photographed by others stumbling out of nightclubs or in appear in best dressed magazine spreads …They’re supposed to seem a bit mysterious and unreachable and like they’re always busy having fun and being glamorous. For this and so many other reasons I just cannot understand how anyone could conceive of Dasha from Redscare or any of these dead-eyed Dimes Square adjacent people as an It girl. Those people are a charisma vacuum. They never look like they’re having any fun and they’re also obsessed with online culture wars (profoundly unchic behaviour). Also their personas are extremely effortfully contrived while the true It girl exude effortlessness and seems like she influences people and culture simply by existing.
