What a week it has been.
I recently got back from Italy (la dolce vita etc.) and found that London has turned sharply cold over the course of eight days. Planned trans-seasonal outfits are out the window. Pinterest boards, wasted.
Yet we persevere.Β
After all, itβs time for the SWEETIE Weekly.Β
π SWEETIE RATES π
Loving with no intention of receiving
Every time my heart thought it couldnβt love again, it instead loved even more the next time. When I thought my heart would shrink and shrivel up, Iβd find in no time it had actually radically swollen in size.
Despite my best efforts, I have an unlimited supply of love to give. I cannot withhold, I cannot give up on grace. I am dramatic. I refuse to be jaded. I am a lover girl. Everybody should try it at least once. I dare you.
Yes, I am a pisces moon + pisces rising.Β
Donβt Stop The Party by the Black Eyed Peas
Everybody thinks theyβre cool until the Black Eyed Peas come on. Itβs no use trying to deny the slappable nature of this song in particular.Β
Listen to the first five seconds of this song and then try to tell me that life does not have inherent meaning.Β
Dr Pepper
You ever just had a crisp, cold Dr Pepper straight from the fridge? YUMMERS.Β

LinkedIn copywriting
Some cultural phenomenons become so rampant that weβre exposed to them without knowing how or why it came to be such a big deal. See: froyo store epidemic of 2012, James Corden.Β
But thereβs a new and baffling cultural phenom that I see being replicated endlessly. And it seems to have started on the birthplace of bad ideas β LinkedIn.Β
Why have people started writing like this?Β
Itβs many people. Powerful people. People who want to be heard.Β
How did they all learn to talk like this?Β
I donβt know.Β
I wish I did.
It keeps me up at night, the short sentences, the meandering attempts at depth.Β
Why do they add so many spaces between each line? Is it for CRM?Β
What is CRM?
I just donβt know.Β
But I digress.Β
IFYKYK. Who knows which Girl/Man Boss freakaleek popularised this style of phrasing but enough is ENOUGH. Warren Buffet is not going to see it, my love. Just talk NORMAL.Β
Trombones
Not one time have I ever heard someone playing a trombone and felt comfortable. L instrument. Thereβs too much going on there, hand gestures all over the joint. Hate it when the person playing sways around, too. Even if weβre only sonically speaking, this is a scary instrument.Β
A trombone should never be played singularly, but itβs OK when mixed with a few other instruments. No solos though. Thatβs just my opinion.
This hat
I saw this hat when window shopping in Prada and a mere glimpse of it sent a shiver down my spine. All aboard the Elton John express!Β
This is a Reject Shop find youβd pull out of a costume box when youβre putting on a play in the living room with your cousins. Gen Z has gone too far with the Y2K nostalgia this time. Sharpay Evans is truly quaking.Β
It is $1,700 AUD.Β
More next week.
Love you xxx
