Adding this to the itinerary of the land art road trip I fantasize about in me head (someday!).

Slowly making my way towards greater Grateful Dead appreciation via this comp. Right now it's all about Box of Rain.

Everyone should read this powerful letter. Down with rape culture.

New pic-a-nic blanket vibes.

Digging the new Steve Gunn album.

Loving the mineral and desert themes of these art and photo prints.

These perfect sandal have been restocked.

It's 79 beautiful degrees in Oakland right now. How many La Croix are too many La Croix? #lacroixblems

Multiple people contacted me to let me know about this: The War On Drugs covers Touch of Grey.

Even better: there's going to be a new Steve Gunn album out on Matador in June. I absolutely love his last release, Way Out Weather. So much so that I saw him twice at Fun Fun Fun Fest this past November. The new album art even features a geodesic dome.

I love a good, classic stripe. This new direct-to-consumer line (or ligne, rather) has all kinds of fashion backing with ex-Vogue editors at the helm and advisors from Manrepeller's Leandra Medine to Warby Parker and Rag & Bone execs, and a cool mix of classic and on-trend stripe styles.

Getting sort of obsessed with micro saving with this app. It's amazing how just adding a picture of the thing you're saving for adds motivation and makes it feel fun to check in on (mine's a desert trailer).

I tried on this perfume at the Ali Golden shop in Temescal Alley this weekend and I think I fell in love (mimosa flower).

I was going to be incensed if our Sunday NYT got stolen off our porch again this am, and rightly so. The culture issue of T Magazine within contains so much brain food and eye candy, from the amazingly arranged meeting and conversation between Gucci's Alessandro Michele and Vetements/Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia to the story of dystopian/futuristic late '60s design group Superstudio to a very interesting article about what goes on behind the scenes at the Met.

Majorly excited about the Steve Gunn / Kurt Vile installment of this epic 5 LP collection of split albums Parallelogram, soon to be released by Three Lobed Recordings. #dreamteam The whole thing sounds amazing.

Glenn O'Brienn's career is pretty fascinating. I recently discovered him via this documentary as the host of TV Party, the punk rock TV show on which he hosted guests like Blondie, David Byrne and Jean-Michel Basquiat and yet improbably has nothing to do with the Black Flag song TV Party, and now I'm running into him doing interviews with Manrepeller on Apple TV's new fashion initiative.

Speaking of Manrepeller, she's got a new podcast, Monocycle. The first episode is about anxiety and burnout. If you are also an erstwhile philosopher interested in fashion, it might be up your alley.

Speaking of podcasts, Lena Dunham has a new podcast, Women of The Hour, which is also good.

This Bed-Stuy boutique has a really interesting selection of brands and home decor.

Going to an event here sounds dreamy.

Looking forward to this Thanksgiving-ready recipe.

Cool plant stands and even cooler chairs.
