Sunday: links I love

• Joan Didion, The Art of Fiction No. 71, interviewed by Linda Kuehl for the Paris Review
“I don’t know. I could say that I was writing to myself, and of course I was, but it’s a little more complicated than that. I mean the fact that eleven million people were going to see that page didn’t exactly escape my attention. There’s a lot of mystery to me about writing and performing and showing off in general. I know a singer who throws up every time she has to go onstage. But she still goes on.”

• A Window Into the Real Lauren Bacall, The New York Times
“‘Literally every tabletop had things on it,’ said Jon King, a vice president and the director of business development at the auction house Bonhams New York, describing the 4,000-square-foot apartment in the Dakota building on 72nd Street in Manhattan that Ms. Bacall bought for tens of thousands of dollars in 1961 and crammed with art and antiques including (and this is but a small sample) Henry Moore and Robert Graham sculptures, David Hockney photographs, Picasso pottery, Chinese bronze figures, Congolese head rests, Louis XV bureaus, Edwardian bamboo, Victorian needlework and Majolica china...”

• The Edwynn Houk Gallery’s selection of photos by Gail Albert Halaban on Tumblr
 

• Michael Salisbury’s industrial, architectural and cityscape photography on Instagram
  

• Hee Seo, principal dancer with American Ballet Theater, on Instagram
  

• Girls Against Humanity


• Mirko Rotondi’s Timeless Hotel photo series

things i love lately:
♥ Sofia rosé – I thought I hated rosé until I tried this one.
♥ Lush twilight bath bomb – pretty pink and baby blue that turns the water glittery dusk-violet.
♥ TonyMoly & Peripera (and South Korean cosmetics & skin care products in general). AmorePacific’s Future Response products are crazy expensive but crazy effective – i.e., 100% worth it if you can afford it, especially this one (and it smells divine, like a green tea latte).
♥ Aritzia’s blanket scarf.
♥ Pinning dream-like architecture & interiors on Pinterest.
♥ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal. I don’t really have words for how magical it was. I took a lot more pictures.
♥ essie’s winter 2013 collection. I missed out on buying them in winter 2013, but recently found all six shades at TJMaxx for less than half of the original price – they are the most perfect colours!
♥ Lunar New Year – I was born in the year of the sheep, so I was particularly excited about this one. I spent the day and night in airports, but I got a fortune cookie from Panda Express that said “Avoid unchallenging occupations—they waste your talents.”
