I’ve never been so possessed by a TikTok Live as I have with Mrs. Dutchie’s, which happen consistently throughout the week at night. Some people unwind with a glass of wine, but I decompress with hours of watching this Kentucky Queen create custom tumblers that she swirls in color, glitter and something she calls “glow” (said in a Southern drawl, no less). Her process never changes, which is the type of reliability I crave after my daily chaos and anarchy, and she even has catchphrases, like “Mercy Sakes,” which fans have turned into bootleg merch that I’ll be purchasing soon enough.

Literally what the fuck are these girlies buying? But also who cares. I could get sucked into a vortex for hours. I didn't know there were so many varieties of hoop earrings.
Lately been smashing @lebaneseangel22 's videos because her skin is perfect, her story-times involve a lot of private jets and she got a tattoo from G Easy (which leaves me with so many questions).

I’ve been flying to LA nearly every other week at this point for different PAPER shoots, which I love and am thankful for. On the last night in town, right before flying back home, I’ve created a ritual where I skip sleep and instead go to Wi Spa in Koreatown until I’m ready to leave for LAX. I like this because my phone can’t reach me — and no follow-up emails or unhealthy scrolling temptations — which gives me some time to reset. Mental health aside, it’s also a fascinating social experience, seeing who comes through late at night and into the early morning. Perfect people watching.

Back when I was a fashion editor at the now-defunct BULLETT, I first collaborated with the designers behind Private Policy and have stayed close ever since. They’re my go-to for events, from the last Life Ball ever in Vienna to the recent 2022 Grammys ceremony, and I currently own at least five different Private Policy bags — all in different shapes, colors and sizes. I think they do an incredible job taking thoughtful, sociopolitical ideas and injecting that into wearable streetwear (and I recently took home an oyster mushroom kit from their last NYFW show as a gift, which was cute).

When I was an editorial intern at PAPER in college, I sublet a room in Clinton Hill for the summer and would stop by Choice Market every morning before heading into the office (sweaty, nervous and eager). I recently moved back to Brooklyn from LA and found my own apartment in the same neighborhood, just down the street from Choice, which I took as a full-circle sign from something somewhere to follow and lean into. Everything is worth trying on the menu, and one of the baristas has giant, featherdust eyelashes that make my black coffee purchase a bit more exciting.
