My July Favorites
A new TV show, an IG must-follow and some Mary Janes.
3 things I am reading/listening/watching:
Sunny - Rashida Jones’s new show on Apple TV+. It’s set in Japan and is a weird sci-fi thriller. Maybe not even so sci-fi in this day & age - but she does have a personal robot. Not usually my genre of choice, but I love Rashida and the Japanese interiors.
Rachel Aviv’s Agnes Callard’s Marriage of the Minds in the New Yorker from 2023. A very fun read about an unconventional marriage (and ultimately divorce) between two intellectuals. Read it if you want to feel really cerebrally lazy and maritally boring. No but seriously, I very much enjoyed it.
My friend Aminatou Sow’s instagram - especially her IG stories where she does all that hard TikTok scouring & scrolling for us and reposts the best of it. I learn of things like FatTony and his remix of Neon Moon, and how crazy stylish the South Sudanese Olympic team were in their black suits for opening ceremony.
3 things I am eating:
Dan Pelosi’s Angel Hair pasta recipe. Light, easy, and delish.
Trader Joe’s Piquant Popcorn I could eat easily eat the whole bag. It’s the cheaper version of Bjorn Qorn - which I also love.
Queen St. - A new restaurant in Eagle Rock. Grab a dozen oysters and a bottle of cold Muscadet from the Loire Valley. Shout out to my friend and colleague Colleen, who always has the best restaurant recs.
3 things I bought this month:
Nackiye dresses. Ok technically I did not buy them - they were generously gifted to me from my very stylish friend Ramya, but I love this brand and these dresses.
White Mary Janes from Prada.
Clare V. Lune with studs is my current favorite shoulder bag and adds a needed chic edge to a girly outfit.
Will check out Sunny 🌞
