too L.A. by eve babitz
the found diaries and never-sent letters of a truly iconic woman, spanning from 1962 to 2000. they were discovered in her closet after her death in 2021. raw, funny, inspiring, and lots of inside scoop about some celebs you've definitely heard of. the book features entries about all aspects of life: seducing jim morrison, holiday parties with joan didion, l.a. post-charles manson, sex, love, affairs, heartbreak, success, failure, fame, the artistic process, feminism, substance use & sobriety, etc.
woven blankets by strike gently co.
100% cotton, made in the USA, lots of cool and unique designs. i've had mine for almost 5 years, and it's the best! machine-washable, the cotton is USA-sourced, and they're actually woven on a loom!
naked eyes (1983)
80s synthpop, catchy, fun, and such a well-rounded album. they had two major hits you may know, but the album as a whole is so underrated in my opinion. no skips, gonna be my top album & artist of the year for sure!
