Early Spring Playlist 2019: Snow Day
We’re baaaaaack…and we’re sorry. 2019 has gotten off to a slow start for us. We’re balancing this project that we started when we both had part-time jobs with real actual adult lives, full of work stuff and medical stuff and life stuff. So sometimes we need to put things on the back burner. But we…

Winter 2019 Playlist: Do the Thing!
Here’s the deal, y’all This playlist was originally slated to go out on January 2nd, after our customary holiday break. But as we crawled into 2019, we found ourselves having a little trouble getting into the new year groove. There were newspaper articles to write, jury duties to serve, exhibitions to plan for. Sometimes, life just…

Late Spring Playlist 2018: Derby Hangover
Getting back into the swing of real life after the Kentucky Derby is a little bit difficult, we’re not gonna lie. This last week back in New York felt longer than most, and we’re still struggling with not being able to spend all our free Saturdays sipping mint juleps in the sun (or, in our…

Early Spring 2018 Playlist: Wild Flowers
It has technically been spring for two weeks now, but here in New York City, you wouldn’t know it.

Early Autumn 2017: Ring Them Bells
We’re moving into early autumn here in Brooklyn. The sky is still sunny, but there’s a crispness in the air that marks the inevitability of sweater weather (our favorite kind). But even as we thrill to the first hints of fall, we find ourselves reflecting fondly on the summer coming to a close. And at…

It’s our favorite time of year y’all. Winter has finally ceded the reins to Spring, flowers are blooming, and it’s time for the most decadent and depraved event in all of the South. Dust off your seersucker and unpack your fancy hat, it’s Derby Time! Now, as we reiterate each year around this time, while…

Just Keep Rolling Along
The first time I remember taking a train I was 19. My roommate’s grandfather had died that week. They were very close, and she was utterly devastated by the loss, so her boyfriend (at the time, my other best friend) and I decided to go down to Long Island for the funeral, for support. Now…

Autumn 2016: Rain-Soaked Highway
Autumn has rushed into Brooklyn. The air is crisp and cool. Zelda is unfurling her cavalcade of scarves. Kids are heading back to school. and Scout is heading back below the Mason-Dixon line on a 12-hour road trip to attend yet another wedding (she’s actually quite excited about this one), and Zelda is off on a journey her…

July Round Up
It’s summertime in the city, and the living in our parts is decidedly sweaty. The heat has seeped in everywhere, even in places that should remain blessedly cool (see: Scout’s workplace, Zelda’s apartment). Zelda spent much of this month drowning in politics (#newsroomlyfe), while Scout was besieged by hordes of summer campers (#museumlyfe). But we…
