Why are their clothes lowkey awesome. I was looking for certain pieces around Christmastime and my google search led me to their site multiple times.. it’s not embarassing to me anymore. I say bite the bullet and scroll a little! You never know!

Continuing off of my last outdoor apparel rec through the GO OUT magazine, I still can't stop myself from browsing outdoor apparel. Especially fleeces, vests, puffers, pants with excessive pockets, etc. Some of these pieces are super hard to come by in the US. Personally, I feel like I've been trapped inside outdoor brand bubble that consists of Arc’teryx, Patagonia, North Face, Fjällräven, etc. Recently, I've discovered This Thing of Ours, a UK based retailer that curates different brands around the world. They pride themselves in having more low-key brands and browsing through their Coats & Jackets section, the catalog speaks for itself.

there's a gorpy shop in Oakland called Understory that is cool for the stuff they carry, but I'm obsessed with their series of "Set and Setting" emails. They feature a beautiful scroll of vintage and modern photographs, often with an unsaid theme. They also come with a discount code if you're into doing some online shopping, but honestly I'm just here for the vibes. You can sign up at the link.

With no shadow of a doubt, my favorite place to shop for vintage online. Ian Reid is an excellent curator and ever since one of my best friends recommended Handbook to me a couple years ago, my closet is now home to a good amount of awesome vintage tees, button-ups, and knits. Still waiting on the right pairs of pants!
My only complaints are that pricing can be a little bit on the higher end for vintage depending on the item, but I wouldn't call it unreasonable. I could also just have brain worms from being into fashion.... Oh and Handbook does take a while to ship. Besides that, I'm always keeping an eye out for what they find!
Look out for new drops every Thursday 4PM PST. You can also follow their insta and check out previews for what will be available that week. If you see something really cool though, you'll have to act fast once the sale is live as it can be a mad dash for everyone looking to cop what they want

Listen to Jockstrap. It’s made up of Georgia Ellery (also in Black Country New Road) and Taylor Skye, and they go sooo hard. Georgia is the voice and plays multiple instruments while Taylor is more on the production side. I went to their Pitchfork Aftershow in Chicago last year and I have never had so much fun at a concert. Taylor sits onstage and literally just deejays the whole time (which is not a jab at him, he is a genius). Georgia sings, plays instruments, and performs for her LIFE. It’s a must listen, must see, must know.
Here are some of my favorites of theirs;
- City Hell
- Glasglow
- Sexy 2
- 50/50 (Extended Mix)
- Hayley
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!!

I’m not a mother and to be completely transparent I don’t really want to be one ever. Something struck me so deep in my poetry class last semester that probably pushed me farther into not wanting children, poetry about motherhood. It must be my knack for empathy and passion that connects me so hard to these poems, who knows. I really really love these poems. ‘Metaphors’ by Sylvia Plath and ‘the mother’ by Gwendolyn Brooks, to name a few. There was an especially hard hitting one about being a stay at home mother, but it’s escaping me in the moment. If I remember it I will come back to this. I have an inkling that fellow women in their 20s may relate to this, and if not I would recommend going down a rabbit hole. It’s existential but who doesn’t love that?
