I love lit mags. Find new writers, find weird writing that big presses aren’t going to publish, find good stuff.

Do you want to feel EXPENSIVE for FREE? I have discovered so many new favorite songs from listening to the monthly Spotify playlists put out by The Row. I am so attuned to their cadence that I even like to think that I can tell when the unseen curator is going through it. If you, like me, can’t afford anything from The Row just consider these playlists oatmeal cashmere for the ears.

I found this book on the shelf of a small lake cabin my family used to stay in sometimes (smells like moth balls, canoe paddles as decor, bunk beds) and devoured it during our stay. This book is slow in the way that Green Card (1990) is slow. The tension builds to a romantic crescendo later in the book and you’re like oh my god!!! Nevil Shute was an Australian author better known for his nuclear apocalypse novel On the Beach that scared the shit out of me in middle school. I recommend A Town Like Alice to people as the best novel you’ve never heard of with the caveat that it was published in 1950 and has an unmistakably colonial perspective. Read it if you loved Atonement.

These pants are my The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, by which I mean mysterious pants traveling from unknown origins to my body. I dug my first pair out of a bin at Dusty Rose Vintage, eyeballing the fit…which was perfect. For years, they held a place of prominence in my wardrobe as my singular pair of high-waisted jeans until one day I had the genius idea to google the brand and buy out every pair I could find on the internet. Now, I have five or six pairs of Stefano Worldwide Jeans in different variations sourced from eBay, Etsy and Poshmark and I still have no insight into the brand. My theory is that they might be the Italian equivalent of Lee jeans. (If they are even Italian!!!) Anyway, I refuse to gatekeep their magic. Thank you, “Stefano.”
