I’ve known Loftjet for what feels like forever, and last year the universe brought us back into each other’s lives on set. We had some downtime and he ended up doing my makeup before I went out that night because if there’s one thing to know about him, it’s that he is for the girls.

He’s a celebrity makeup artist — he does Demi Lovato, Kim Petras, Lola Leon, Julia Fox, among many others— and he's as talented as that list makes him sound. But what you don't get from the résumé is the best part: he has the best vibes of anyone I know. Funny, warm, generous, a fellow Pisces who feels everything deeply and commits to every bit fully.

And his guest post is so him. I’m so excited for you to meet him.

UGGs

I have a highly specific UGG fixation that graduated from irony to lifestyle about two years ago. I’ve worn them to places UGG corporate never storyboarded for—like a Louis Vuitton afterparty in Paris. That’s cultural range.

My holy grail is the men’s Ultra Mini Shaggy, water-resistant, chestnut. Discontinued—tragic. I panic-bought enough pairs to outlive several trends. They’re effortless, slightly unhinged, and somehow correct everywhere if you commit with confidence. Malibu girl delusion? Possibly. Results? Undeniable.

County Fairs, Theme Parks & Carnivals

These places suspend reality for me. Time disappears. Money becomes imaginary. Responsibility fully logs off.

County fairs hit especially hard—sugar in the air, flashing lights, collective permission to be ridiculous. I want every fried dessert, the stupid-cute prizes, face paint, and all my friends in one place. I’m not a full Disney adult—I won’t trauma-bond with Goofy—but I love controlled escapism. Fantasy, with a clean exit strategy.

Life Coach Laura (Florence, Italy)

When my life felt like a messy group chat of emotions and business chaos, someone said, “You need Laura.” One call later, my life went from VHS to Technicolor. Suddenly I wanted to face things instead of dodge them. Proof that sometimes the best advice comes with an Italian accent and zero tolerance for your excuses.

Driving + Phone Calls > Texting

I love talking on the phone. Deeply. Passionately.

LA traffic becomes soothing when I’m on a call—suddenly I’m in my flow state, yapping to friends I’ve already spoken to twice that day. I get in the car and immediately start calling people. Texting could never compete. I don’t make the rules; phones just win.

Living Room

If Friday night dinner and drinks is a religion, Living Room is my church.

Perfect food, perfect crowd, rooftop magic, and the smoking garden—home of elite accidental encounters. They also serve my unofficial signature drink, the Starsky (tequila, passionfruit, vegan foam, secrets). It’s my sanctuary. Miracles happen there.

Smelling Good

This started with my dad’s vanity and escalated responsibly.

Diptyque Eau Rihla is my ride-or-die—smoky, musky, fresh, compliment-magnet. Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder is cozy elegance. Byredo Animalique adds leather and intrigue. Every scent says, “Someone here smells incredible,” and yes, it’s me.

Watching People Get Dressed in Period Pieces

There’s something deeply calming and wildly fabulous about watching people get laced into historical garments. The layers. The drama. The commitment. I put it on to relax and end up fully locked in. It’s history, fashion, and theater rolled into one. Ridiculous. Beautiful. Essential.

Givenchy Carpenter Pants

These pants are everything. Carhartt energy, luxury execution, perfect fit. They can go casual or polished without blinking. Criminally underrated. I want to be buried in them—or at least haunt people while wearing them.

TikTok

TikTok is my TV. I don’t own an actual one because interior design will always win.

I log on for five minutes and suddenly I watched a full makeup routine, discovered a life-changing body wash, and witnessed someone dress like Marie Antoinette. Educational. I love how unhinged it is—someone spends thousands crafting content while someone trips in a Walmart and goes viral. Very Andy Warhol. Everyone gets their 15 minutes. Sometimes by accident. That’s art.

Iggy

Iggy’s “why not” philosophy leads to either unforgettable adventures or places we absolutely shouldn’t be. He’s a six-foot baby blue monster dreamed up by a six-year-old—angel and devil in fuzzy outfits perched on my shoulder. Tiny purses, one more drink, maximum chaos. When Iggy’s out, I’m mentally somewhere else entirely.

[Editor’s Note: Iggy is also my entire personality. He’s the funniest person I know - Julia]

Entire Studios x Adidas

I love a morning workout, but I refuse to look bad while doing it. The Entire Studios x Adidas collab is everything—Dylan and Seb ate. I can get dressed in the dark, half-asleep, and still show up looking correct. Beauty, but make it functional.

Camila Cabello – C,XOXO

Criminally slept on. No skips. This album lets me live my fantasy of a Miami love affair with a man who hates showering. I’ve only been to Miami twice, but suddenly I have fictional heartbreak and local credibility. Perfect pop delusion.

Simple Skincare (Andrea, Amez Pro)

I retired from hoarding luxury skincare and embraced simplicity. Andrea changed my skin and my life—La Roche-Posay, SkinCeuticals, CeraVe, Cetaphil. No drama, just glow. She’s the holy grail. Everyone needs her. Complicated routines are canceled.

Baking

The moment the oven turns on, I enter my Hamptons housewife fantasy. Cookies are my love language, especially when friends are around. Cozy, chaotic, sweet, and a little unhinged. Baking lets me be extra in the most wholesome way.

Answering Gabbriette’s Random Texts

Every Gabbriette text is a mystery box. Party logistics, skincare emergencies, existential chaos—delivered with charm. She’s a chaotic Type B icon trying her best, and the mental image alone destroys me. Those texts are my daily comedy relief.

Cyklar Body Wash – Vanilla Verve

TikTok hunted me down with this one. I was asking people on the dance floor if it was worth it. It is. They bottled Neiman Marcus. My life is different now.

BÉIS

Luxury luggage for the people, by the people—specifically Shay Mitchell, who thought of everything. Best suitcases I’ve ever owned. And the Pro rolling backpack? A dream realized. Travel, but make it divine.
