Reader Question / Rent the Runway
Q. Hi Jordan! Have you ever used Rent the Runway? Could you maybe do a post on RTR tips?
Victoria’s Secret Pink
Guilty admission: one of my favorite places in the world to window-shop is in the Pink section at Victoria's Secret. I know, I know...it's all very perky and lollipop-y and emblazoned with things like "CAN'T GET ENOUGH" and "BOYS BOYS BOYS"...but I can't help it; I love it (maybe not the "BOYS BOYS BOYS").
And I think I just found the perfect pair of underwear there, so I thought I'd mention:
The Ruched-Back Hipster (8.50; 5/$25) is universally flattering, and comes in lots of cute patterns (again, though, maybe skip "TAKE IT OFF" and "LET'S GET A ROOM"). I actually got mine for free, because I signed up for their Angels club (or whatever it's called) and they sent a coupon for a free pair in the mail. Yay!
There Can Never Be Too Many “Weird Foods” Compilations
Seriously, love them.
Presenting Breaded Bliss: 7 Crazy Sandwiches, featuring the Tastykake Slider (two brisket patties topped with sour-cherry Sriracha jam and American cheese, sandwiched between two Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes). It turns out that chef Matt Levin of Adsum (in Philly) put the sliders on the menu to raise awareness of Tastykake's financial woes...and now they sell 10-20 a night. I usually prefer my burgers and Tastykakes to be...well, separate - but now I sort of want to journey across state lines to try this odd thing.
Want to see a video about it? Sure you do! Here you go.
Right Now, I’m Loving…
Fashion illustrator Gina Martynova's whimsical prints, and particularly her "Starry" series (pictured above). The bottom image, FYI, is also part of Prada's new Minimalist Baroque Collection. Gorgeous.
