The Best of June 2025

June 2025

What happened last month? Oh I don’t know, nothing too monumental other than the fact that Nathan and I got engaged. WILD STUFF. Super jacked about it. But also here’s what else down last month…

  • I had no idea that Anthropologie had an entire bridal section where you can book try-on appointments! Obviously I went.

NOT my wedding dress, but good god do I love lace

  • I started doing weekly Summer Saturdays posts again this year.

  • I compiled the best tweets of the month.

  • We took a day trip to see the filming locations of Friday the 13th in New Jersey.

  • I never wear strapless bras because they’re all terrible, so for years when I need to wear one I’ll just put on a corset (it sounds uncomfortable, but I swear it’s not). The first one I bought was about ten years ago from this great place (Orchard Corset on the Lower East Side) that only specializes in corsets. You walk in, there are boxes everywhere, it’s owned by a couple - one of them looks at you, tells you the exact right size to get and you’re set. I updated the one I got recently (it lasted ten years) and they cost around $70. They fit like a dream. Praying this place stays in business for eternity. (I also learned the proper way (below) to clasp one, how did it take me so long to learn this??)

  • The chain Jersey Mike’s came to Canada so I tried their signature sub (swimming in vinegar) and it was good. I wish it had even more vinegar, though.

  • I wrote about the newest costume exhibit at The Met.

  • My cousin made this piano key holder out of my grandmother’s piano (from the early 1900s)! Isn’t it gorgeous??

  • My friend Marla made these incredible pistachio thumbprint cookies and I can’t stop thinking about them.

  • DO NOT sleep on the incredible sushi from Hillstone.

  • The new brown sugar foam at Starbucks is a problem, it’s so good.

  • Nathan and I saw Stranger Things on Broadway and visually it was fantastic! The story wasn’t the best and it’s way too long, but the plushies they sold are wonderful.

  • Still dreaming about this House of CB strapless gown.

  • In love with the concord grape Schweppes seltzer. Tastes so similar to 90s purple Crush.

  • My nephew Rome started a YouTube channel!

  • Lemax released their Halloween collection this year and I might have to buy the new wedding party, I don’t make the rules.

  • Visited the Cheese Boutique in Toronto and I can’t believe how huge it is. It’s this giant cheese/meat/butcher/specialty foods haven.

  • This raccoon (below) came up to my parent’s window and I’m in love.

Cutest raccoon alive

  • My parent’s car had an air conditioning issue so I took it to our mechanic and they quoted us a minimum of $900 (!). Then I took it to Canadian Tire and they did the entire job for $275 and completely fixed the issue. Unbelievable. Love Canadian Tire so much.

  • I hate a sugar cookie, but the Crumbl wedding cookie was really good.

  • Something about having a Blue Moon on draft at a restaurant makes me so happy.

Draft Blue Moons = summer

  • Some things I watched:

    • Sirens (Netflix) - it was like a poor man’s White Lotus. Nice visuals, not much story, though.

    • Another Simple Favor - truly terrible. It’s as if AI wrote a movie about dumb hats in Capri.

    • The Mist - pretty good! Love a horror movie watch in June.

    • Milli Vanilli documentary - really good, so much I didn’t know about these guys.

    • Titan documentary - I wish it were more about the people on board and the details around the specific disaster rather than the company history, but maybe that’s just me.

Some things I’m looking forward to this month: going to Montreal with Nathan, a million things to plan before the wedding, lane swimming and seeing the new I Know What You Did Last Summer in theatres.

WEDDING SLEEVE!
