Years ago, one of my best friends Tyler (a fashion designer you should also check out), brought me home a stowaway snail she found at this plant shop she worked at at the time. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts as a pet mom, it escaped from its tank (rude...and trust issues-inducing!!!!). Iāve since left showing my love and respect for the slime balls to the tattoo of a snail under a disco ball I have on my arm and the framed needlepoint snail that hangs above my mantel.

These are SO COOL!!! My grandmother used to collect them--she had a swan and several ducks which now festoon my parentsā guest room--and my parents bought a mouse for me, because they call me āMouse.ā But someone stole it when I had a party! Terrible behavior. Good thing it was years ago and I now have all-new friends. At any rate: I love the little boxes for letters and jewelry, I LOVE the pigs, and I think the miniature snakes ROCK. If my boyfriend and I ever move out of our cozy shoebox apartment Iāll start a collection in earnest.

I donāt care how old I get, I will always be obsessed with dollhouse miniatures. Theyāre also a very practical thing to collect if you live in a cramped New York City apartment. One of the few, cool places on the UES is this store thatās been around for thirty years, that sells things like mini cheese balls, boba, a lava lamp, and teeny tiny orange Crocs. Relatedly, I am also fond of those trick fake food sculptures that look like milk spilled that you can get online.

Huge pickle fan over here. Just know that I am the kinda gal who will always ask you if you want your spear at a diner!!! Iām devastated that Brooklyn doesnāt have more options for Polish pickle soup. Karczma in Greenpoint is one of the rare spots that does it but there are some recipes online if you donāt live near there and want to give it a go on your own. As the temperature drops, I canāt recommend it enough ā itās the perfect balance of tart and creamy. Sometimes I dream of owning my own lunch counter with pickle soup and pickle backs on deck.

Growing up, I was sometimes ashamed of my gap. Now I find it to be one of my sexiest qualities. Iām so thankful my parents never pressured me into getting braces (also thankful for the documentary Gap-Toothed Women (1987) that helped pave the way against whatever lingering stigma). I know I canātĀ ārecommendā you get gap teeth, because, obviously, you either have them or you donāt. But, there was a kid I went to middle school with who would put a paperclip in between their front teeth everyday to DIY their own gap. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself enoughā¦
