Zatchels Fluorescent Saddle Bag, $89.45

I recently bought the above crossbody bag from Zatchels.com, a British company who makes each bag they ship to order. Y’all, this bag is gorgeous and it is BRIGHT. I get comments everywhere I go and it literally casts an orange shadow on anything I’m wearing, and guess what? I DO NOT CARE, it is so epic and I feel like it makes me look like an awesome IDGAF type of person every time I wear it.

J.Crew 4″ Chino Short, $45 / Madewell Neonray Sweatpants, $58 / Zara Blazer, $129

The problem is that now I pretty much want to be constantly awash in the glow of neon clothing. Sure I might look like a deranged, overaged Lisa Frank devotee but who cares. Color! Walkin’ on sunshine!

Aerie Concert Bra Corset, $20.70 / Ash Bowie Wedge Sneaker, $225

Snash Rings: For Connoisseurs of Life

One night in December, I may have stumbled into BK Night Bazaar after an evening of cocktails and drunk-purchased one of Snash‘s rings (the Ice Cream one, to be exact). Well, like most drunk purchases in my life, it ended up being one of my favorite items. In vino…shopping veritas? For me, yes. I wear(…)
Essential Mixtape Alert: DJ Young EZ – Guaranteed Raw Vol. 1

Okayplayer’s Mixtape Mondays feature has opened me up to a whole new world of mixtapes. I am Jasmine, they are Aladdin and this particular mixtape is RUH RUH LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON. DJ Young EZ describes Guaranteed Raw Vol. 1 as such: “An hour of classic 90s hip-hop shit cause Dipset is what’s ‘old school’(…)
Avarcas For All, Courtesy Aldo?

On a recent outing searching for dresses at Urban Outfitters (a truly useless search), I stumbled on a pair of Pons Avarcas and thought I had hit the jackpot. For the uninitiated, these sandals are a balearic island staple. I can still picture my aunt’s sandal-clad feet in my earliest childhood memories, sporting the Avarcas(…)
Life Improver: The NYC Bus Checker App (Yes, It Works!)

Understatement of the century: buses in Brooklyn can be unreliable. I had given up on waiting for the bus at ALL unless I actually saw it coming with my own eyes…until the advent of the Bus Checker app! With this app, you can zoom in on any bus stop, click on it and see a(…)

I am definitely surprising myself by writing an entire roundup about sandals that I’d like to buy(…)
7115 by Szeki Stole My French Would do Heart

There are certain times when everything on the racks fits your body type, and you could go from H&M to Opening Ceremony and find a suit that fit. This season, however, I’ve been fresh outta luck – and I’m assuming anyone with more than a C-cup is feeling the same way. Step into Forever 21,(…)
Sing, My Angel Olsen of Music

I can’t think of any way to describe Angel Olsen that isn’t off the charts hyperbolic, so I’ll just come out and say that she’s THE BEST EVER. Her records (especially her latest – Burn Your Fire for No Witness) and her videos have been on constant repeat for me…but to really get the full(…)
