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. On the Monday morning when we compiled this playlist, snow was falling outside our windows — big fat flakes that covered the ground, coated the trees, made fluffy hats for the trash cans…and then melted within…

Early Winter Playlist 2017: Holly Jolly
Sleigh bells ringing, lords a’leaping, dreidels spinning, candles glowing: The holiday season is full of magic and light. But our absolute favorite part may just be the music. We count down the days until that magical Friday in November when, Thanksgiving safely stowed away until next year, we can let our festive flags fly. It’s…

Winter 2017: Make a Brand New Start of It
A new year has dawned and, for maybe the first time, we both returned from our beloved Bluegrass State after a holiday break with that cozy, fuzzy feeling of going back home. Somehow, without either of us realizing it, this madhouse of a city wormed its way into our Southern hearts. And while our roots…

March Round Up
Oh March, you topsy turvy month of lions and lambs, sunshine and snow, steaming hot lattes and iced coffee on the rocks, you really took us for a roller coaster ride. We’ve been busy of late — with work, with friends, with life — and your ups and downs left us feeling discombobulated at times,…

February Playlist: Love Love Love
Oh February, you month of hearts and flowers, chocolate and cupids, fuzzy teddy bears and glittery cards and more pink and red than a strawberry stew. As two brutally single females, we can tend to regard all these Valentine festivities with a healthy dose of cynicism and a tinge of despair. We’re equal opportunity love bugs,…

Inspiration Tuesday: If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
For this month’s inspiration, we’re looking to music. As we search for our voice and attempt to march to the beat of our own drum, these are the songs (and books and videos and etc.) in our ears and in our hearts that help us march unto the breach of a new year with confidence and…

November Round Up
Where oh where has November gone? This year is on track to be the hottest on record, and the past month’s unseasonably warm climes left us discombobulated, and shocked when Thanksgiving and the subsequent holiday bonanza snuck up on us. Or maybe the reason November seemed to fly by is that it was a whirlwind…

August Playlist: Change is Gonna Come
Oh man, guys. This month is a lot. Zelda moved to a new hood, Scout got a new roommate and continues to search for new employment, and it feels like pretty much everything in our lives in in limbo at the moment. So what do we do in times of uncertainty, when we find ourselves…

June Playlist: Songs to Lounge in Parks By
Normally, the first week of June would find us in full-blown summer mode: sweltering subway platforms followed by refrigerated cars, snow-white legs breaking free of tights for the first time all year, the tinkling of Mr. Softee trucks haunting our dreams. This year, however, Mother Nature appears to be confused. While the end of May…

February Playlist: Galentine’s Day
The second week of February has rolled around, and most of you are probably bracing yourselves for the Cupid-laden festivities of the 14th, whether you’re happily ensconced in a romance or looking to drown your singledom in a well-timed pint of Ben and Jerry’s. Here at Zelda & Scout, however, we are much more interested…
