My Non-Negotiables
Jacinda Taylor

Happy (almost) weekend. I turned 30 yesterday, and as a gift to my future self, I got a one-line-a-day diary to keep track of what my first year in a new decade looks like (I’ve decidedly become very sentimental). Here are a few things I’ll be getting up to this weekend, which I suspect will make their way into future journal entries:

  • I’m celebrating with a 1920s-themed murder-mystery dinner party — a fitting send-off to my 20s. One thing about my friend group is we always commit to the bit, so I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets their characters in absurdly dramatic ways.

  • I’m on the hunt for the perfect dress for my sister’s wedding in Indonesia, which has completely broken my brain. But at least I have my accessories figured out. I’m obsessed with the entire jewelry collection at Susmie’s — particularly this gorgeous necklace. And I’ve already mentally packed this wood-beaded take on a cult-favorite shoulder bag. Oh, and I can’t forget the shoes, which I’ll likely wear all summer.

  • Now that it’s finally warm outside, I’ll spend some time on my roof with Keith McNally’s memoir. His reflections on his travels and the people he’s met — all of which shaped the unique vibes of his restaurants — make for a thoughtful read.

  • As a (mostly) dairy-free girlie, I’m constantly looking for dairy alternatives — and this hemp milk brand delivers the creamiest substitute I’ve tried. I love the ritual of making a matcha every Sunday, and the nuttiness adds a whole new layer.
