Meet Scout Society member Jessica Goldfond.
How do you pay the rent?
I own a PR company called The Shiny Squirrel that is based in New York.
How else do you fill your days?
I am a really avid indoor gardener. I have around 75 plants in my house and have even brought some into my office. This is a photo of some of my hanging apartment plants. I seem to be collecting macrame hangers. [6]
Who are you following these days?
@notjustapopp — Great jewelry and the personal style is inspiring. [12]
@axandapple — Love seeing where she is traveling, what she is making, and her awesome evolving apartment and studio in L.A. [11]
@etrine — Amazing furniture designer out of Portland, Oregon. Always love to see what he is working on and who he’s collaborating with. [2]
Let’s get Scouting. A self-portrait?
I just bought this hat this weekend. I have been obsessing over these pieces from Italian designer Reinhard Plank and finally got one for myself while wandering around recently. [4]
Your morning coffee?
Most mornings, I get up and go to coffee at Bakeri on Wythe Avenue in Brooklyn. I love the food — especially if you get there early, and the baguettes are coming out of the oven. I try to avoid the crowds and start my day off with lists of what I want to accomplish that day. [3]
Your significant lover, other, or BFF?
My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year. We met on Instagram, and he moved here from Atlanta last February. [7]
Your muse?
I get inspired by traveling and the many different cultures and experiences that are out there. Here is a photo from my visit to Bangkok a few years ago. The markets were incredible. [1]
The one photo you refuse to delete from your phone?
My cats, Monkey and Louise. They are hilarious and really make my apartment feel like home. [9]
What you did last weekend?
I went to brunch with my friend, Stephanie, from Even Cleveland. We walked around for hours going to boutiques and checking out new offerings. I also went to the Parra show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery and fell in love with his work. [5] These activities were sandwiched between things like watering plants and watching a series of bad Netflix movies like Pretty in Pink.
The last thing you chowed down on?
This spicy tofu soup from someplace in Koreatown. [8]
