Ah, the strange time between Christmas and New Year's where time stands still and my sluggery reaches an all time high. This is the first year in a very long time that I've taken extended time off from work around the holidays, and while it has been amazing, I think I'll be ready to get back into a groove on January 1st.
I'm currently in Quebec City spending my days eating croissants and drinking pistachio lattes but have felt a little retrospective about the best things of 2024. So, here they are:
Best Thing I Wore:

| j.crew stratus pant in textured satin |
I first learned of these pants via Emily's Instagram and they very quickly become the best item of clothing I purchased this year. I have them in black and and navy (and I might need them in green), and they are the most comfortable and chic pants in my rotation (think fancy pajamas). I love them with sneakers just as much as ballet flats, and I know they will continue to get a lot of wear in 2025, especially in the office.
Best Thing I Ate:
 |
| the artichoke and nettle lasagna from Fore Street |
I posted about this earlier this year, and I still can't stop thinking about it. The artichoke and nettle lasagna from Fore Street was sublime: this restaurant is a Portland staple for a delicious meal, and the wood fired pasta did not disappoint. It was the perfect combination of savory and sweet, and I only wish they didn't change their menu on the daily so I could eat this forever.
The Best Thing I Read:
 |
| all the colors of the dark, chris whitaker |
Gah, this book was so good. It's part thriller, part heartwarming/heartbreaking journey about old friends who experienced a tragedy. It follows their lives as they grow up and I loved every second.

| D.S & Durga - I Don't know What |
Is perfume a beauty product? I'm going with yes. It's no secret I love to smell good and this is my new favorite (and I've never received more compliments on how I smell). It's multi layered and sophisticated and I also love that this company let's you sample multiple scents and then put the money you spent buying the samples towards a full size. This will be a repeat purchase for sure.

I was admittedly very late to getting into this, but it quickly became my favorite thriller. I loved every episode, and by the time I got to season four I could finally watch without subtitles (those english accents are no joke).
Here's to more good things in 2025!
