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!

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.

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

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.
