Okay, I oversold that with my best used car salesman typeface.
But I’m here to share something exciting that I typically reserve for my loyal gang of email subscribers. It’s a master list of what I’m reading, listening to and watching.
Each month (or more if I’m feeling prolific) I send a round-up of content with a little editor’s letter. At the end, I always include links to what I’ve devoured across the ether when I was either 1) at a loss for my own words (a rare occurrence if you know me) or 2) devouring an entire bag of popcorn and looking for an activity that didn’t involve typing at the same time.
Basically, it’s stuff I wish I wrote or created but am, nevertheless, stoked to share with you and spread the knowledge! Most of it is fashion or eco-related, some is just plain fun. This week, I collaborated with Scout (ICYMI – fab summer intern) to bring you a list that’s twice as nice.

The full history of Mr. Givenchy.
Two of my favorite gals in eco fashion on how ‘normalize’ sustainability. Episode 23.
My Dad Wrote A Porno that genuinely could have featured on xxx videos tubevsex or similar. Because it’s important to balance your serious news with a heady laugh. A special thanks to Ethical Unicorn for recommending these witty Brits. They’ve become my new car companions.
I watched
Seriously, zilch but retro Anthony Bourdain episodes and YouTube guides to wine regions. But I think that’s a good sign of productivity and – dare I say – sanity?
On my future watch list: Social Fabric
Oh, but I did abuse my new Moviepass subscription. Go see American Animals and Sorry to Bother You. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

I Listened

I Watched
So many amazing classics at my favorite Austin theater, Austin Film Society. Check out The Big Heat (a 1953 noir) and Grand Hotel (a 1932 drama) for the vintage fashion looks of your dreams. I second what Kasi said- go see Sorry to Bother You, and don’t let the third act twists throw you too much. There’s a lot to take from this film, insane or otherwise.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
