If you run into me IRL this fall, there’s a high probability that I will be wearing this skirt — as you can see, I am wearing it in my photo for this very newsletter. It’s surprisingly versatile! When you’re feeling punk, throw it on with some Doc Martens and a vintage band tee; if you’re all in on the prep aesthetic, opt for some ankle socks, loafers, and a V-neck cashmere sweater. Buy one in solid and one in plaid for even more ‘fit possibilities!

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

I watched an obscene amount of early-to-mid 2000s reality TV during quarantine, including this delightful MTV series starring Travis Barker and his then-wife, model/actress Shanna Moakler. Viewers can tell the couple is keeping it totally real in front of the cameras: Travis was at the height of his Blink-182 fame while becoming a father for the first time, and watching the Barkers balance their hard-partying rock star lives with starting a family is endearing.

Yes, these are expensive, but if you think in terms of price per wear, they’re worth every penny. I have them in all three colors and in a couple of different sizes for days when I want a baggier fit. They’re straight-leg, have no stretch, and legitimately look like they could’ve been found at a vintage store, which are my top three qualifications when it comes to buying denim.

This calming cannabinoid serum has become a hero item in my skincare routine. It’s helped me tone down redness which is one of my primary skin concerns — I’m sure I’m not alone here, since this stuff sells out quickly.
