View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kimberlee (kiki) (@kikikreatez) I had a goat cheese and blueberry ice cream this week. It's a lot like cheesecake ice cream, except for the fact that if you think about it too long, it really does taste like you're eating spoonfuls of plain goat cheese. Instant Pots beep too long when they're finished cooking. Three beeps would be enough. Why one hundred million, then?I'm learning to...
When it comes to furniture, I really only have eyes for Big Squishy. Anything
with needlessly wide cushions and needlessly deep tufting calls my name. And,
being a begrudging social media user, I have not been immune to the many
images circulating lately of the Cameleonda Sofa, designed by Mario Bellini
and recently
reissued
by B&B Italia after a 50-year hiatus. Talk about big squishy. The sofa's
cushions are 90 x 90 centimeters,...
One cute and fun thing about me is that when my anxiety flares up, it turns me into a disgruntled and embittered woman who firmly believes she does not care about anything at all. I spent eight of the last twelve months sincerely convinced that I didn't have any hobbies or interests. I rolled my eyes at the meet and greets at the start of the hellishly virtual school year. I resisted forming any real friendships because I was certain that I didn't...
Entering the my-own-apartment chapter of my twenties (!), I seem to constantly be on the lookout for objects and things that would make me a better host. How can I make guests more comfortable? How do I curate a sense of home for my friends? As loving as it sounds, half of this is rooted in my desire for them to come to see me as often as possible. I love the company and I love being of service, so I like the idea of being ready with snacks, extra...
Welcome to August, friends! Sit back, cue "August" from Folklore (obviously), and browse some things that we are particularly into this month.HEADPHONES INIn the world of music, we have a couple exciting releases, most notably Lorde's long-awaited third album, Solar Power. We are cautiously optimistic for this one, as there are mixed reviews within the editorial team. The album comes out on August 20.Also, Molly Burch just released her album...
Fashion-wise, one of my favorite moods to be in is “Please Do Not Perceive Me.” In the past, it has driven me to track down very specific secondhand zip-up hoodies and very loose overalls. It’s the look of the masc girl from a John Hughes movie who works in an auto shop and places comfort over all else. Her clothes are functional, boxy, and (most importantly) easy to skateboard in.On the spectrum of loose clothing, the 90s unbothered look is at one...
After a long, rainy July, this summer has begun to feel twice-baked. We were allowed some time to cool, ease our sunny squints, and listen to thunder resonate along our streets. Now, the fast approach of August is bringing the sun back, and with it the second act of summer. In homage to a bumpy, fraught, sweaty season, here are some paintings that feel like summer.Il Sole, Giusepe Pellizza da Volpedo, 1904.Slumbering Sea, Mentone; Thomas Roberts,...
