I re-watched the famous girlboss breakup over lunch today. It really is incredible. As you know this girlboss vlog covers several days, but here's day 1. Sort of an annotated viewer's guide since Elle's short on content these days.
Day 1 - Friday
We begin with Elle getting ready. She's excited because her mom is getting back in town from Hawaii. She will be staying with Elle for the weekend and then moving into her new Vancouver place on Monday. Elle doesn't know it yet, but Joe certainly has marked Ginette's return on his calendar!
Some idle chatter about microblading. Of note, she pronounces palette like a normal person here.
Mom arrives. Complains about the airline seats being too small. Elle has her Ferragamo pumps ready. Elle has some meeting which runs late. I guess we can assume the meeting is pearl biz or social media related since its Friday and she took the day off from work.
Time to meet mom so she can pick up the check on some Dim Sum! Elle orders a Shirley Temple to remind her of lunches out with her mom where she did the same. She acts like a child a lot around Joe, but wow, when she’s around her mom, she's really 10 years old again. Elle mentions that since she and her mom had Dim Sum in Hong Kong, their standards are very high and only this place in Vancouver meets their stringent requirements...
Back home at the apartment. Mama G is resting a little in the recliner while Elle opens a box that arrived from Nordstrom. Signature dusty blue cashmere cardigan. ($299). Joe arrives home while she's opening it looking pretty beat after a long week at work. He has no interest in the dog, soon to not be mother-in-law, and shopping-drunk girlfriend that are there to greet him.
Now Elle has moved on to opening the stuff that she had shipped to Hawaii and made her mother drag back to her on the flight. She shows off a handbag insert from amazon ($20), Four Natori Feather Bras ($272), Pissaro Nights Dress ($220), and Two pairs of Eberjey Pajamas ($240).
Elle is busy making baked potatoes and drinking some wine. Joe is seasoning some steaks for everyone. We get some mangled French as Elle shows off her log of garlic butter that she made.
Now it’s after dinner and Elle is bumming sips of champagne from Joe's glass. They're watching Lost in Space and Joe is completely done with her camera in his face and the baby voice questions. Sarcastic answers and smug grins because he knows he's not going to have to do this shit for much longer and it feels so good. Joe asks for his champagne back and Elle balks at that suggestion, saying she wants more sips. When he finally gets it back he gives the camera a look as if to say 'you won't have me to mooch off any more.'
Shopping total for the day: $1051
Running total for the Vlog: $1051
