Finding the right throw blanket is a gabillion times harder than you might expect. And if you’re like me and have over-indexed on neutral/muted colors while designing your space, they’re likely the last chance you’re going to get to add a much-needed pop of color before things start to look like a weird, dystopian, minimalist sci-fi movie (that actually sounds kind of sick now that I type it out though). Luckily, I found this bright mustard blanket with a simple but cool design on it to liven up the place. it also comes in terracotta and blue if that’s your thing.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh’s menswear, which she designs with stylist Thistle Brown, is extremely underrated. I would buy this sweater vest in every color if I could. It’s the ideal weight and shape (slightly cropped and boxy) for wearing over a T-shirt, especially if you go up one size. I hate when my close friends and I wear the same thing, but we all have an MNZ sweater vest and I don’t even mind.
Art is cool but art is also expensive. If you’re like me and have a growing interest in it, but don’t quite have the funds to pursue said interest, check this out. Absolut partners with contemporary artists and photographers to bring more affordable limited-run prints to people who aren’t necessarily wealthy collectors. It’s still an investment, but much more manageable. I got a Shantell Martin print recently and to thank me, she sent a free, signed art book along with it.
Beabadoobee is a Filipino-born British singer/songwriter who evokes big snail-mail-meets-best-coast vibes. Her debut album fake it flowers is set to drop in October, but she’s dropped three singles off it in preparation (“worth it” being the most recent). You can hear the other two here and here.
Really worthwhile watch. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a piece of media that represents Muslim Millenials in such a focused and beautiful way. The writing/dialogue/characters are brilliant, and not to mention the episodes are short. It’s similar in a lot of ways to shows like Shrill, Atlanta, and Master of None, but manages to still stand out as its own, unique, fresh thing.
