Sixteen Questions: Taylor Winchester
A rapid fire interview series
This week on Sixteen Questions we have a very special guest, Taylor Winchester aka my wife and best friend. Taylor is one of the most kind hearted, self motivated, intelligent, and caring people I know. She’s a massive reader, an excellent cook, a great friend, and someone I’ve been able to count on since the day we met. I could write a novel about how important she is to me and the life we’ve lived together but I’ll save that for an anniversary card or something. Here are her sixteen answers.
Spindrift or La Croix?
La Croix. I probably drink 2-3 a day.
What’s your go-to coffee shop order?
A plain iced latte or drip.
What’s your favorite month out of the year?
October! I love fall and it’s my birthday month.
Who’s your favorite artist? (Dead or Alive)
Does Claire Saffitz count as an artist? I also love Degas’ ballet paintings.
What’s your favorite article of clothing in your closet right now?
The new top I just got from Damson Madder (as seen in photo 1).
Gold or silver jewelry?
Gold, but I like both.
If you were given $50,000 today what would you buy with it?
Since that isn’t enough money to buy a house in this economy, I would probably buy a new wardrobe, a lot of furniture/art, and a trip to Maine.
East Coast or West Coast?
I have spent virtually no time on the East coast and SO much time on the West coast, so I don’t feel like I can answer this fairly. I love the West coast but I would die for a New England summer right now.
If you could wear only one shoe for the rest of your life what would it be?
Right now, it’s my Sambas. I know it’s basic, but they’re perfectly casual, cool, and practical.
What’s a movie, album, and book you’re loving at the moment?
Movie: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Album: God Said No by Omar Apollo
Book: 11.22.63 by Stephen King (It’s my first Stephen King book!)
What does your ideal morning look like?
Waking up slowly, having breakfast, taking a quick neighborhood walk, and reading on the porch with a cup of coffee.
What does your ideal evening look like?
Watering the flowers, cooking something fun for dinner, enjoying a glass of wine with friends, watching a movie, and then reading before bed.
What are two things that are out and two things that are in?
Out: Being late and sad beige homes
In: Tennis and key lime pie
What’s inspiring you most right now?
So much! My friends, art, the flowers in my neighborhood, the first episode of The Bear Season 3, and really good food. Everything is inspiring!
What are you working on right now?
I’m very slowly trying to become a runner. I’m also trying to embrace a slow life where I don’t always have to be doing something. The time to be and enjoy is now.
What’s one thing I do that isn’t a big deal but really annoys you?
You like to get 1 specific line from a song stuck in your head and sing it on a loop, it drives me insane.
