about the sponsor: oona wine
A recently launched canned beverage company from esteemed minds like Pierce Abernathy and Alexis DeBoschnek, Oona Wine has been written up in Food & Wine, NYT Style, and Vogue. They offer two sustainably produced wines: an elegant, low-ABV Skin Fermented Pinot Gris, and a savory, frizzante 100% Barbera Rosé. Couple cans of Oona and park chat with your saloon crush?
member spotlight: viv chen
something you read/saw recently you enjoyed: Omg so somehow I never got into Game of Thrones when it was actually on TV, but I was recently sick for a week and just binged all 8 seasons and I was HOOKED! I just loved how fantastical the world was and got super invested in the Night's Watch plot lol. It also got me excited about medieval-inspired fashion, like this vintage chainmail belt I got on eBay.
you love when this happens: when someone is selling 90s/00s Prada or Miu Miu online and the price isn't wildly jacked up.
last thing you bought irl: A coconut water.
life hack: ok this will change your life...bring a tennis ball whenever you travel and use it to massage your neck and back against a wall when the inevitable travel aches/shitty hotel pillow neck cricks get up. bring it on the plane too.
upcoming dinner reservation? I guess a deep dish pizza place this weekend (see answer below lol)
what are you doing this weekend? I am going on my first brand trip to attend a film festival in Chicago, a city I've never spent time in. I am so curious what the social dynamics will be like on a brand trip—it's all new to me.
