My Rec League Starter Pack

Marie-Helene Bertino

Her book Beautyland is my favorite book of all time and I’m not alone! Love her website, read Exit Zero, and Parakeet—those two are probably not for everyone, but I just love her writing so much

Dogs in Space

Not sure how well it follows Daria (a favorite!), but genuinely love Dogs in Space—wish they hadn’t canceled it. But I think it’s still worth a watch!

Adidas Stan Smiths

This is not news—but it was for me! I found a pair at goodwill randomly for $2.99 (even though all other shoes are usually $5.99?) and fell in love. Never thought of trying them before for some reason, now wear them all the time with dresses, pants, whatever. I look for them second hand, but got my most recent pair on poshmark. You can find a lot of brand new or barely used shoes!

I’d only ever made pretty simple garments before this, so the bodice was intimidating—but it’s satisfying to make and fun to wear. Bringing mine to England for my cousin’s wedding!
