things i’m listening to (while reading // online shopping below)
lately i’ve been revisiting some songs that made their way to the letter many letters ago so, re-sharing them here in case we want to revisit together…
things i’m reading
can adults capture the “back to school thrill”? as someone who continued treating themselves to “back to school shopping” well beyond years spent in a classroom, my vote is for yes, absolutely. - wsj
“miu’s your daddy?” is the best headline i’ve seen all week? i hope none of us get over willem dafoe closing miu miu’s ss25 show at paris fashion week. - dazed
how does the male gaze impact female friendships? and what happens when we stop trying to play the prettiest girl in the room? - byline
reddit is the internet’s last great hope (and the only place i go for real recommendations - outside of here of course, but i don’t count for myself - anymore….or i scroll until i find a realistic tiktok review with 10 likes (love you, thank you for your service whoever you are). - fast company
“beyond erewhon: wellness as practive not product”. i’ll never skip an erewhon headline. - highsnobiety
adam brodydave rygalski looks back on his gilmore girls career (my annual rewatch is currently towards the end of season 3 with plenty of dave screen time). - bustle
things in my cart
what more has to be
saidembroidered on a hat outside of “in butter we trust”?my favorite coffee syrup company, transcendence coffee, now has a vanilla madagascar syrup and i’ll never stock another vanilla syrup ever again.
another leather jacket - this time from arma - that’s going to keep me up at night. it’s the hood!
my dog is too small for these and i know they’re for babies, but you can’t tell me these knitted fruits aren’t the cutest dog toys?
a brixton pottery horse mug because if we’re not entering our nora ephron movie marathon stages and acting like we’re living in one while drinking our coffees in the morning what are we doing? here’s a cow and penguin version (+ a rabbit set) if the horses gets snagged.
a nice, unisex $51 clog. i’m also very into this style and fear they’ll replace the gardana clog.
my fatal flaw? forever a sucker for jadeite bowls.
coffee ice cubes in cute packaging. say less.
i’m back with pajama set propaganda to tell you that petite plume’s swiss dots short set is perfect until it’s no longer absurd to swap to flannels.
things to make
purple focaccia with blueberries and stilton cheese
“trash” puding?!?!
pancakes, but only if they have butter hearts from now on.
things to *swoon* over
