7-6-2025 MY FAVES: female trouble

 books of the week

it was a week to celebrate the brats, it girls, and icons. and you'll see that with all media i consumed. 

i read reckless, book #3 in the gossip girl spinoff the it girl. we're following jenny and her boarding school bitches through the trials and tribulations of spoiled teenagehood and confusing teen love. 

currently i'm on hold for book #4 - unforgettable.

while on hold, i am reading jackie  - the clothes of camelot - a coffee table book on jackie kennedy's style through her white house days, and after. i got this book at a book sale a while ago, and i was always a lee radziwill style fan, but there's something so chic about jackie o's white pants, giant sunglasses of the 70s. new style icon unlocked. and every summer, i get into a kennedy obsession!

i was a lucky girl at the coffee shop the other day. they had a mini library and i audibly gasped when i discovered midnight sun, the newest book of the twilight series, just waiting - for me! i can proudly announce that i own the full twilight series - each book found, gifted, or thrifted.

music of the week

here's a list of top albums from june:

marina - princess of power

addison rae - addison

jai paul - leak 04-13 (bait ones)

lorde - virgin

cécile corbel - arrietty soundtrack

a gift for america's birthday was given with kesha's new album . (aka period). i am super hyped for her tour as she's coming to blossom end of month and sure as shit do i have a sleazy fit ready. my plan is to put so much glitter it stays until august. two new faves of the album are red flag and love forever. 

across the pond, a controversial concert by thompson was going on - i won't delve into the politics of it all, but i will say, as a child of immigrants and the diaspora, it is mandatory that your infant ears are blessed with thompson's music. so sunday, to heal our (mine) hangover, sib played his new album - hodočasnik (pilgrim) for me to heal. i am not really a fan of this music as much as i enjoy some of the older songs for nostalgic reasons, but i really like hi historic songs - they tell stories of battles, and kings and queens of croatia. it's something refreshing and cool in the dying croatian pop scene. 

movies of the week

sib and i rewatched myscene: jammin' in jamaica in search for summer style inspiration. barbie getting in predicaments and true female trouble, almost fucks up a perfectly beautiful jamaication. read more about the style of the movie in my inspo segment.
