Monday Missive: April 27

What we’re talking about at parties (or on Zoom calls and FaceTime) this week.

Eloise is Talking About

Classic Movie Recommendations: I loved this GOOP article with classic movies and the fashion styles they inspired! It’s a fairly wide range of movies, so depending on your personal style, you could probably find the pieces for at least one of the looks in your own closet already. If anything was going to motivate me to change out loungewear right now, it would be watching the iconic movie that inspired the look.

Quick Wellness Tip: I was listening to a podcast from The Skinny Confidential and Lauryn was talking about her new morning routine that help her have a more positive mindset, and it was so inspiring! I copied a few of her ideas and every morning this week, I wrote down three things that I was grateful for that morning, and three main goals for the day as well as a few additional soft goals. It made me feel so much better to have a positive start to the day and helped me to focus on the goals that really needed to get done that day.

Interior Design Inspiration: Erin Gates can do wrong in my book--love a fellow MPS alum!--and her newest project reveal is everything. I had to look up the artist that she featured and it also reaffirmed all of my longings for a banquette and built-ins with a library ladder.

Dinah is Talking About

Celebrity Style: The brilliant Heather and Jessica at Go Fug Yourself have been looking back at key moments in fashion and pop culture in the absence of new red carpet and celebrity looks. My favorite is the Coachella retrospective, as those are always some of my favorite bonkers looks every year!

Soapy Binge: During the quarantine, I have discovered the Australian soap Offspring, about an OB/GYN named Nina who has a completely bonkers family, a big crush on a fellow doctor with a mysterious past, and a complete inability to make good decisions. It’s frustrating at times, but mostly wild and fun, with the focus on the family and not the medical side. The women all look 10 years older than they are, and the men look like they have had the same haircut since they were 15.
