Iām from Vancouver where the only cute thing to do is ride bikes by the ocean. During covid lockdowns, I realized you can kind of do the same thing in NYC. I like to take a Citi Bike along The East River to Battery Park, and then up to one of the west side piers if there's time. This makes for a cute date if you want to pack a picnic, but Iām usually late and lazy so I just end up going to a restaurant in the village after the sun goes down. Last time it was Genes.

the ride home from rockaway is almost as great as rockaway itself.
for best results have a modelo on the top level (the best seats are the ones in the very back on top of the life vests) and time the ride for around sunset.
bringing a bike on them is nice n easy too. the best move is front-loading all the riding, chill on the beach for a few hours, and then take the ferry home (your legs are probably tired)

Investing in a good shampoo and conditioner is key when you have bleach blonde hair in recovery from blasting it with one of those round brush blow dryers the kids on TikTok like to make fun of. I donāt really believe in sustainable consumer goods but this Davines shit is amazing and it comes in ābiodegradableā packaging that you can throw in the garbage instead of pretending to recycle it.

Itās spring and the ultra-short skirt/crop top trend is about to pop off. But before you take your kitchen scissors to your wife beaters Julia Fox-style cop a pair of Gingher shears. Theyāre heavy and sexy and silver and used by people who actually know how to make clothes. Iāve been ācustomizingā my wardrobe for years but itās only recently that my raw hem skirts and sweaters arenāt totally jagged and wonky. Itās called maturity, girls.

I have a full time job and live in Manhattan so thrifting isnāt an option for me, which is sad because I think the best-dressed people buy the majority of their clothes from thrift stores. Thankfully thereās Poshmark, a place where you can peruse the closets of Floridian housewives and Las Vegas showgirls from the bathtub. Pro tip: online shopping is a brain massage made better accompanied by bad TV. I recommend pairing low ball offers with the latest season of 90 Day Fiance, or Gossip Girl reruns (the original series, not the new one)āif youād like to feel especially numb.
