Free Yourself From Summertime’s Expectations

AKA shorts

Apparently blogs are the new black so we’ve decided to revive our “Word” section. What better to begin with than the best season of all, fall?

Fall brings a serious mood along with its rich hues and sugary, insidious pumpkin lattes. R+A has decided to share all the things we’re feeling for fall. So get ready to dig into some layers, some great tunes, and embrace the blues. Do you feel us?

Where we’d like to live

We suggest refreshing your space with an over-abundance of shit you absolutely love so you have even more of an excuse to stay indoors and out of bad clubs. Even if it seems messy and cluttered to others, this is your sanctuary and you’ll cry when you want to, thank you very much. Inspo à la below.

 
 
 
 

What We’re Listening To

When it’s been raining for 30 days, even Leonard Cohen can become too poetic for the airwaves, and Ariana Grande is suddenly too grating. The airy, atmospheric Moonchild is the answer to your work day productivity and brownie points with coworkers who whine about your taste in music.

Playlist here.

If this doesn’t work for you generally Maggie Rogers will.


What We’re Wearing

Oh wait, we never stopped wearing this. Because it works.

What We’re Reading

The written word is not dead if you don’t let it die. Plus, the more you read the more you’ll start to manifest the vibe to our right, which is tres chic.

Hit list:

1. Three Women by Lisa Taddeo - best enjoyed with a 12 oz glass of Pinot Noir and a divorce attorney’s contact details

2. Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney - best enjoyed with friends in a book club with a 12oz glass of Pinot Noir

3. Calypso by David Sedaris - best enjoyed in the middle row of an airplane

4. The Idiot by Elif Batuman - because who at one point in their twenties was not an idiot?

5. My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh - because we want to know how much Valium one can actually take

Words to Live By this Month

Finally, Michelle William’s Emmy Speech.

Go be your big bad fall self.

Sincerely,

R+A
