erica’s things

Loving Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn even more than I already did thanks to her penchant for carrying wine bags as purses (as broken down for Elle).
Getting my greens with this cozy, soy-saucy recipe via Milk & Mode.
Dying over The Onion’s review of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Traversing Mercer Street to get some gift shopping done buy an early present for myself: a knitting kit from the way-too-enticing shop Purl Soho.
Trying to avoid winter hair static/dryness with this serious deep conditioner from Davines.

Making double batches of Smitten Kitchen’s absurdly easy one-pan farro with tomatoes to last me for the whole week—it somehow manages to taste better reheated.
Texting Erica some really next-level emoji action, courtesy of LINE, a hilarious chat app that is apparently all the rage in Japan.
Scrolling endlessly through Into The Gloss’s tumblr, which serves up a bevy of some seriously strong magazine editorials, film stills (Katie Holmes in Disturbing Behavior, anyone?), and other inspo images.
Loving this story about how San Francisco hired design firm IDEO to figure out how to get public school kids to eat healthier lunches.
Getting pretty nostalgic for the nineties thanks to Vulture—check out this epic Sheryl Crow cover by Lorde and Haim, and read Irene’s account of “the bitch-slap heard round the world” (yes, that one, from the The Real World: Seattle).
