Each “Little Weird,” as she calls the 48 entries, muses on topics like mysterious strangers, ghost-pirates, wildness, and Valentine’s Day, and often leads to a revelation about self-love or finding peace in solitude. In “Beach Animals,” Slate describes, in phantasmagoric detail, a girls’ trip where she realizes she shouldn’t settle for the wrong guy when her friends love her the way she is.
chattily chronicles Slate’s highs and lows and dips and swoops as if the actress is absorbing sunshine through an I.V. “Even in the sad pieces, I guess the joy is there, because it's just like, ‘Thank God I can say anything at all. Thank God I'm not quiet. Thank God I haven't given up,’” she says. There’s a pause. “You know what I think the joy is? I think it's faith. I think it's faith. Not religious faith.
The word “weird” has become a catch-all for anything that doesn’t fit the norm, on either side of the spectrum. Slate makes a point of taking weirdness seriously, “like the way that Shakespeare uses the word weird,” she says. “I think it's just another way to say this is something that can't be described as anything but itself.

I first saw these perfect boots in September when I did some sight-seeing in the Chanel boutique in Paris. I love the signature quilting detail and the subtle logo on the strap, which adds some delicateness and femininity to an otherwise sturdy boot. I imagine these to be the perfect throw-them-on-and-go boots with leggings and a sweater on the weekend or skinny jeans and a blazer on workdays.
