Currently I am obsessed with both of these vintage accounts. From what I’ve gathered, @maj_kiosk seems to be an NYC ex-pat living in Rome, scouring thrift stores and flea markets throughout Italy. Honestly a dream scenario to me, and I’m sold on that fantasy before I even see the clothes that she posts. But! Let me tell you about the clothes! She finds the most beautiful 1990s/early 2000s Prada-Jil Sander-Gaultier style vintage clothing, as well as vintage deadstock Italian swim & lingerie. This is the Y2K that you won’t be finding on Depop. @imevintage, another favorite, travels through the Midwest and finds the most sensual vintage furniture pieces. Think of the home in Call Me By Your Name, but then also what I would imagine the offices of Giorgio Armani looked like in the eighties. There are few things she posts that I couldn’t imagine in my home.

My friend Carly Mark is a genius artist, making work about the female gaze, body horror and conspicuous consumption. But now you can conspicuously consume Puppets and Puppets, the high meets low endless design experiment she’s running like it’s Gucci in the Tom Ford era only EVERYONE is invited. Gender, size- she’s blowing up all the binaries of fashion. It ain’t cheap, but the prices reflect couture level production, fascinating fabrics and playfully sinister details (a demure Mary Jane with a wooden wedge of cheese for a heel, a chic little purse with a resin black and white cookie slapped on its front in place of logo hardware.) This is high fashion for the kid who liked to layer macaroni necklaces, for the former Emily The Strange who now works in branding, for any person who wants to add “art witch” to their resume. Carly has made me a few dresses and whenever I wear them, I feel like I can change the world with the power embedded in the layered skirts. It’s also so genderfluid that my husband can (and does) steal.

Was Hedi Slimane’s residence in NYC and is a case study for Saint Laurent’s design language for their stores while he was at the helm from 2012-2016, a design language they still cling onto today even with Vaccarello running it. It might not be the most relevant to what I’m into now (gimme a mid century modern midwest home or a california craftsman please) but I’m fascinated with it as a large scale project + absolute commitment to have his stores be reflective of his living space.

Most days have been pretty good lately. But, there are some days where I am hit with an insane wave of existentialism and life feels completely meaningless. With that being said, therapy is something that has kept me grounded throughout the past year. A really useful tool that some of my friends have used to find good, affordable therapy is openpathcollective.org — with or without insurance, you can search therapists within your zip code for ~$30 & upwards a session.

It’s laundry day when I’ve run out of my good socks in my sock drawer... and those are my Aime Leon Dore socks. We all know ALD, but do you know about their socks? I am slowly but surely replacing my collection of Hanes ankle socks from Target with the luxe deliciousness that is the Aime Leon Dore sock.

Movie theaters in NYC have opened back up, and I live and die for Nitehawk’s popcorn. I’m not a crazy truffle person, but I love their “Nitehawk Popcorn” which consists of truffle oil & citric salt. I tried making it at home during lockdown and it wasn’t the same. Before theaters were open, Nitehawk was delivering their popcorn, and I would actually spend $15 and order this to my apartment because it’s the best. But go to the actual theater since it’s open now and order this popcorn! Devour it before the movie even starts! Order another bowl of it! Relish in the stomachache afterwards! It’s absolutely worth it.
