Body mists & the new Sofia Coppola book 🎀

Long time no see! Another week, another list of things I’ve been watching, reading, listening to and thinking about.

Things I've Been Obsessed With Lately

• The Sol de Janeiro 62 body mist carried me through the entire summer, because I was unfortunately born with a taste for expensive perfume and a distaste for spending more than 100$ in a bottle of anything. That means I’ll stick to smelling like pistachio and salted caramel until I unexpectedly get a bottle of Kilian’s Liaisons Dangereuses for my birthday in October (CC:: myboyfriend, who reads this newsletter for gift ideas). But all jokes aside, I love Sol de Janeiro’s body mist and I’m planning to get my hands on more of their scents soon!

• That Barbie tshirt from Marshalls - if you follow me on insta, you might’ve seen I was looking for a specific vintage-looking printed Barbie tee from Marshalls. The only problem is I don’t live in the US, and even the ones being sold second-hand were hard to get shipped to this small European country (Genovia, I’m from Genovia). Long story short, I had a handful of incredibly sweet US citizens looking for this Barbie t-shirt for me, and one of them finally found one my size and is very kindly sending it my way. Thank you again, Audrey, if you’re reading this! 💖

• This (now sold out?) Coach cherry handbag. Because it’s CUTE!🍒

Books I've Discovered Recently

Archive by Sofia Coppola - I spent some of the most formative years of my life obsessively watching Sofia Coppola movies, and her work most definitely shaped my personal taste and the things I create now, so I need her new book in my life. Archive is a coffee table book featuring her “personal collection of photographs and ephemera, including early development work, reference collages, influences, annotated scripts, and unseen behind-the-scenes documentation”, offering a detailed account of all eight of her films to date.
