advice for 'liv'

hi everyone! keep those advice asks coming, i love helping out when i can! our bestie 'liv' reached out last week to ask about how to deal with a (not-so-much-of-one) friend... girl, run. that is NOT a friend! talking about how she lies, hits you out of reaction?? i can understand the occasional slap on the shoulder while laughing too hard, only if both parties are okay with it and it is clear you are not! but even then, you are talking about how she puts you into chokeholds and such. guys, dont do that with your friends unless they are okay with it!! and girl honestly, even if she was just an okay friend- you do not need any reason to drop a friend at the end of the day. do what is best for YOU. XOXO, sav

letterboxd top four 🎬🎀

i gave in and finally downloaded letterboxd... i can say i am obsessed and feel years late to the game at the same time. i wanted to do a littttttle deep dive into my top four because they absolutely do not match but do in some weird way. i wouldn't say these are my favorite four movies but i do love them & they look aesthetically pleasing together. i'd like to say they're all about girls finding their way in the world.. kind of.

1- Priscilla (2023 by Sofia Coppola) Ignoring the elvis aspect of the entire thing... God, i love Cailee as Priscilla. a beautiful girl playing a heartbreakingly beautiful role. i actively forget this movie even involved elvis because i focus so much on her, the young girl finding her way in love and in the world. a girl who tries so hard to be someone else for someone else and finally realizes it's okay to just be her.

2- The Bling Ring (2013 by Sofia Coppola) On the other side of Sofia's excellence (but ten years ago) we have the chaotic bling ring. surprisingly, both of her movies on this list are after real events or people. i couldn't even blame the bling ring. they saw paris hilton's closet and forgot the law existed. tbh, i would too. ps- i swear i dont condone burglary!

3- The Parent Trap (1998 by Nancy Meyers0 Oh this one has such a special place in my heart. i know you all saw that video of Elaine Hendrix on tiktok a couple years back explaining Meredith Blake's reasoning against the girls. honestly she had me on her side for a sec! but seriously, this movie perfectly combines that nostaglic camp feeling along with ranchy california and classy london. there's also like three parts in one, like chapters kind of. we have the opening iconic camp scene, then the storylines of annie and hallie being switched in cali and london, and finally the whole thing of switching back, going camping with their dad and meredith, ruining their engagement, etc. i'm not saying the girls were completely in the right, but it is such a cute movie.

4- Legally Blonde (2001 by Robert Luketic) i kinda hate that these movies are directed by men.. because they got it down to a T almost??? yes, they did the standard 'girl in pink' thing. but it's not about THAT. it's about patriarchy. men are appraised for everything they do while women have to work their heels off to get an ounce of recognition. she didn't have to become anyone else to do it either. elle woods is and always has been an icon and a role model.

NEWS FLASH: Weed can be chic!

We need to retire the idea that smoking weed automatically means somebody is dirty, lazy, unmotivated, or living in a room that permanently smells like stale smoke and regret. Because... no. 😭 Weed can be chic. It can be intentional. It can be a little glass ash tray with a joint ready on the coffee table, a clean apartment, fresh pajamas, skincare done, candles lit, snacks plate ready, and a movie already picked out. You can smoke and still be someone who loves having routines, keeping your space clean, and generally having your life together.

I think a lot of the “weed is gross” image comes from the way stoners have been portrayed forever. Everything is green, covered in giant pot leaves, vaguely sticky-looking, and somehow there’s always a Bob Marley poster involved... But cannabis doesn’t have to become your entire personality or aesthetic just because you enjoy it. Personally, I love the idea of making it part of a cozy little ritual instead. Cute storage. Pretty ashtrays. Opening a window. Washing your hands afterward. Putting everything away when you’re done. Maybe you smoke before a movie night, while painting, before doing a long skincare routine, or while sitting outside enjoying nature. The activity itself doesn’t determine whether the vibe is gross or glamorous. it's how you treat yourself and your surroundings.

And obviously, being responsible still matters. Know your limits, keep it away from kids and pets, don’t drive, and don’t let something fun start interfering with your actual life. But assuming every person who smokes weed is some permanently couch-locked loser? Puh-lease! Some of us have our stuff (and cannabis) together. 🌿💅

WE FOUND OUR WEDDING VENUE!!! ♡

Okayyyyy so today was sort of a big deal, if I do say so myself. We toured a venue today… and found THE ONE 😭 Like- the place where we’re actually going to have our wedding?? Typing that feels so.. odd. Mainly because for so long, the wedding has been this collection of pinterest boards, conversations, “what if we did something like this?” and “wouldn’t that be cute?” And suddenly there is a place in the world where it’s all going to happen. I don’t want to share the actual location yet because we kind of want to keep that part a secret for a little while, but I can describe her! ♡ The best way I can explain it is homey industrial. It has that slightly imperfect yet lovable feel that we all know and love. Nothing feels too gaudy or ballroom-y or like one of those venues where you’re afraid to touch anything. It feels warm and real and even a little artsy. Think of a cold New York building with a warm and homey hangout spot on the roof that contrasts the rest of the building. Like The Coterie in that show, ‘Good Trouble’. We could picture people actually hanging out there instead of just sitting there politely waiting for something to happen or someone to talk to them. And that was really important to us. I don’t want our wedding to feel like everybody came to watch a scripted film. I want it to feel like everybody came over for the holidays. I think what I love most is that the space already has a personality. We don't have to completely transform it into something else and we don’t have to bring in 50+ boxes of decor. Walking around, I mentally started filling everything in. Where people could sit. Where drinks could go. Where we could put our decor. Where food could be set up. There were so many moments where I was mentally placing things before we had even finished touring. And at some point I realized I wasn’t really trying to convince myself or my fiancé anymore. I had already started imagining our wedding there, and that was probably when we had our answer! XOXO, Sav P.S. the amount of decorating ideas that have already formed in my head should probably concern everyone just a bit.

welcome to my little corner of the worldwide net ♡

hey, you! ♡ so... you found my blog. And tbh? I’m sooo happy you’re here. Welcome to my little corner of the net, where I can yap about absolutely anything. The little things, 2000s nostalgia, beauty and clothes, life updates, fun quizzes, playlists, my fav shopping finds, etc. I wanted a place that felt a little more personal than social media. Somewhere I could slow down, actually write things out, make pretty little posts, and document the life that I know I’ll want to look back on someday. Basically, this blog is my digital bedroom wall, fridge covered in notes & photos, my scrapbook, whatever comes to your mind! ✿ WARNING: there will be chaos at times. There will be messy thoughts, random favs, questionable decisions, can you handle it..? But that’s kind of the point. This blog is meant for those who feel comfy & safe here. Anyway... Grab your favorite drink, put on your favorite playlist, and stay awhile. I hope you feel at home here ♡ xoxo, Sav *P.S. If you’re reading this.. congrats, you’re officially an OG.* 💋
