DAY 68:\u00a0BONJOUR TRISTESSE<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Bonjour Tristesse<\/em><\/a> + Agent Provocateur<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

I finished this in an hour; it pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee. Bonjour Tristesse<\/em><\/a> is the ultimate coming-of-age that explores teenage hedonism and amorality. It ends rather tragically, but what it offers is insight without interference from hindsight or a better-than-thou narrator. I can’t believe I’ve only just read Fran\u00e7oise Sagan’s overnight sensation now (and to think I called myself a Francophile at 16, 17!).<\/p>\n

DAY 69:\u00a0LETTERS TO A YOUNG POET<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Letters to a Young Poet<\/a> + Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme<\/em> Eau de Toilette<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Letters to a Young Poet<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is a collection of ten letters from Rainer Maria Rilke, written in earnest desire to offer his insight and experience to a young mentee. Never is there a sense of withholding or superiority; Rilke gives all, conducting a private writing workshop, essentially, for this poet-to-be. It’s beautiful. Truly a treasure of inspiration and how-to for any artist in pursuit of bohemia.<\/p>\n

DAY 69 (CONT’D): WHILE THE WOMEN ARE SLEEPING<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

While the Women are Sleeping<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

While the Women are Sleeping<\/em><\/a> was my first experience with acclaimed Spanish novelist Javier Mar\u00edas\u2014and while Mar\u00edas’ style isn’t one I would normally gravitate towards, I can’t deny how enduring (albeit haunting) his stories are. They’re strange, yes, A little disturbing, most definitely. And yet as confusing\u2014utterly perplexing, honestly\u2014as some of his plots are, they’re delightful in the most lurid of fashions.<\/p>\n

I’m interested in reading more of his work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DAY 70:\u00a0SEX AT DAWN<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Sex at Dawn<\/em><\/a>\u00a0+ Agent Provocateur<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

I can’t rave about this book enough. In fact, I implore<\/em> you to read it. Yes, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships<\/a> *<\/em>is* about sex, but it’s not just about the mechanics of copulation. (After all, sex is so rarely about the physical act itself. It’s an exchange of some sort: of power, love, etc.) Instead, it’s a provocative study that starts with the reexamination of prehistoric origins we once took for granted and challenges how<\/em> we’ve always thought about sex every step of the way<\/em>. It would be impossible not to explore sexuality or gender dynamics either, and the writers Christopher Ryan and Calcida Jetha do so spectacularly.<\/p>\n

Plus, it’s sheer pleasure to read.<\/p>\n

DAY 70 (CONT’D): ORNAMENT AND SILENCE<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Ornament and Silence<\/em><\/a> + Dior The Lovers<\/em> tarot mitzah scarf<\/p><\/div>\n

Ornament and Silence: Essays on Women’s Lives<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was the perfect follow-up to Sex at Dawn.\u00a0<\/em>It’s an exquisite set of portraits (Kennedy Fraser is a gifted storyteller and for lack of a better descriptor, word stylist) that offers insight on the dynamics between women and men, women and society, and women’s view of themselves.<\/p>\n

“[The history of most women is] hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.”<\/p>\n

\u2014 Virginia Woolf<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DAY 71:\u00a0THE WRITER ON HER WORK<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

The Writer on Her Work<\/em><\/a> + vintage Chanel flap<\/p><\/div>\n

Like Ornament and Silence, <\/em>Janet Sternburg’s\u00a0The Writer on Her Work<\/em><\/a> is a collection of women and their relationship with themselves (society, and work), only each essay is written in the first person by the writer herself. Of course I loved this. (I have the second volume<\/a> waiting in my cart.)<\/p>\n

DAY 72: WRITERS & LOVERS<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Writers & Lovers<\/em><\/a> + Glossier Hand Cream<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Lily King’s (author of Euphoria<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>fame)\u00a0Writers & Lovers<\/em><\/a> came highly recommended by the Insta-book clubs of the digital space, and I couldn’t resist. Was it an earth-shattering, mind-blowing read? No. Was it a lovely Sunday read? Yes. (Plus, the cover art is beautiful.)<\/p>\n

DAY 73: CLEOPATRA<\/i><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

Cleopatra<\/em><\/a> + Lili Clasp Molly <\/em>pearl hoop earrings<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

I should preface this with the admission that Cleopatra is one of my top idols and icons of all time\u2014an admiration I’ve carried since I discovered her story. Part of it was built on the hyperbole that became the Cleopatra fantasy in books, of course; I adored her despite and<\/em> because of\u00a0her notoriety, too. Stacy Schiff’s biography<\/a> of Egypt’s last queen is simply luminous. It’s one of the best (if not, the<\/em> best) historical accounts on Cleopatra’s life I’ve read so far; it clear why Schiff won the Pulitzer Prize.<\/p>\n

DAY 74:\u00a0THE DIARY OF ANAIS NIN, VOLUME I (1931 – 1934)<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"book

The Diary of Anais Nin: Volume I<\/a> + Pat Macgrath Gold Blitz<\/em> Lust Lip Gloss<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

I’m re-reading Ana\u00efs Nin’s diaries again. She’s one of few writers I feel so in tune with\u2014and my god, her diaries are enrapturing. Her best works, without a doubt.<\/p>\n

.\u00a0 \u00a0.\u00a0 \u00a0.<\/p>\n
