In honor of the viral J.Crew 1988 roll necks, I’ll share a 1988 story. When I was a junior in high school, I went to Apple computer camp at Stanford. Please appreciate the group project we did on an Apple and dot matrix computer.

I’ve taken up a new cozy hobby for the big dark. I’ve been on the hunt for second (or third/fourth) hand clothing I can rehab. I seek out projects; I love mending and rehabbing. My favorite is fancy cashmere that’s dirty and has holes. I give it a glow up! I worked on these pieces yesterday!

Love that NYC took a lane of parking and a lane of car traffic and turned them into pedestrian and bike lanes. Maybe Seattle’s next mayor could do something similar?

Had my first whiskey sour tonight in an awesome whiskey bar in NYC. I even did shots of good whiskey. I’m not home eating Cherry Garcia in bed. I feel like I’m re-living my 20s but with a little more financial security and style.

Bliss. I lived 4 blocks from this spot for 4 years a very long time ago. Thank goodness for rent stabilization, public transit, and great hole-in-the-wall eateries. #manhattan #centralpark #bagels #NYC

In case anyone was worried, capitalism is still very much alive in NYC. This is the line at Saks Off 5th—a hundred deep at least. I couldn’t even video the whole line. (And yes, I know I’m participating in said capitalism by buying things.)
