One of our favorite people, the super cool Katie Cornell (who also happens to be the Events Editor at Via Magazine and What’s In Store Editor at DiabloMag.com) will be hosting. We can’t wait to sip cocktails with her and find the perfect eco-friendly outfit! And while I don’t have any vacations booked yet, but I can definitely pretend with one of these!

Freelance writer and all-around cool girl Lizzie Garrett mixes inspiring vintage photos, well-curated product roundups, and interesting Q&As with kindred tomboy spirits to great effect. I always find out about something cool after each visit, and feel less guilty about my collection of men’s shirts.

It’s basically your super witty/incredibly informed best friend telling you what you need to know about the top news stories every morning, complete with all the dirt like background issues and “The Why” it’s important. I look forward to it everyday (it’s helped so much in cutting down my morning intake-) and love how funny, bright and concise it is. Definitely one of my new favorite reads!

I’ve resolved to make this the summer that I finally try cold-brewing coffee, but there are so many cool (and local!) companies doing it, that I might opt for those instead: Jittery John’s is based in San Francisco and does pop-ups in Dolores Park so you can enjoy some coffee with your Bi-Rite ice cream; Milton & Small is an Oakland-based brand that delivery around the Bay Area; Slingshot offers both ready-to-drink and concentrate versions around the South; and Brooklyn-based Grady’s Cold Brew is a New Orleans-style coffee with chicory – yum. If you want to try cold-brewing at home, here’s a recipe from Bon Appetit.

It’s called Not Another Bill, and it’s so chic and beautifully curated- Past surprises include a Merchant & Mills sewing kit, Falcon Enamelware, Prospector Co perfumes and an adorable Victor Stuart Graham toy sailboat. Send as a gift, subscribe for yourself, or just shop the past gifts shop! LOVE! (Great find, Bri!!)

I’ve had my eye on Block Shop Textiles scarves for awhile now, and they’ve just started accepting preorders for the next round. Sisters Lily and Hopie Stockman collaborate with a family of master printers in India to create their scarves, supporting a small community of block carvers, dye mixers, master printers, seamstresses, and dhobi wallahs through their partnership. Now which to pick?!

When I saw these sweet designs on Etsy, I immediately bookmarked them for safekeeping.

Her song “Losing You” has been in heavy rotation on my morning commute, and I want to go to one of her dinner parties after reading this Elle article. (Solange, if you’re reading this, can we be friends?!)
