The House of Mirth

Chronicles an impoverished girl's descent into tragedy as she attempts to fit in with 19th century NYC high society. One of my favorite books from this era! Read if you're into Fitzgerald or Tolstoy.

Sex and Rage by eve babitz

This is my best friend's favorite book and now it's my favorite book. And now she's a librarian, so you know it's good. Whimsical tale of a girl in LA and NYC in the 60s-70s.

Jen George’s the Babysitter at Rest

I am not sure why every cool 22 year old girl having a martini in Chinatown on a Friday night does not have this book in her purse. It's one of my favorite short story collections. Jen George’s fiction is whip-smart, funny, sexy, and gross. This book is like Weetzie Bat meets Rabelais. Yum.

THALO JEANS!

Listen to me. I have spent years looking for the perfect 501 type light wash denim. I have dumped money down the drain. I've texted ex-boyfriends begging them for their cast-offs. And then? These Thalo jeans. The girlies behind Thalo remade 501s with more butt/thigh room, giving that perfect straight leg but perky butt situation. I have two pairs and since I got them I've worn them every single damn day without fail. I love you perfect Thalo jeans. I LOVE YOU!

Rufus Wainwright

When I work I listen to Rufus and only Rufus and only the genius albums Poses and Want One.

Bullet Point Skirts

My dentist’s office is in midtown between On Stage Dancewear (a tiny bitchy ballet store) and the Morgan Library (the best museum in NY after the Neue Galerie). After the dentist I treat myself to a visit to Morgan Library and a new flimsy Bullet Point Skirt. They come in colorways like Cappucino, Meadow and Cloud. I wear them with my Hommegirl’s tube socks and Tods.
