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!

I can’t recommend it enough tbh. I went in there to return a few I had rented last week and got to spend 10 minutes lost in the shelves, just searching through films. There is such a great feeling of comfort I get by being surrounded by so many physical reproductions of the medium I love so mucchhh. It’s like my version of a museum.

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

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.
