a discovery playlist featuring weekly top 10 music releases

1. googly eyes, Joy Oladokun, Allison Ponthier- Jesus and John Wayne: A song based on an incredibly insightful and educational book of the same name that I would recommend to anyone with religious trauma. All proceeds of this song benefit the Ally Coalition through All Things Go, which is so special! 

2. Blondshell- Diet Pepsi (Live at Sirius XMU): The indie rock Addison Rae cover you never knew you needed! I have listened to the snippet of her cover on TikTok an ungodly amount of times, so I am so stoked to have it on streaming services haha.

3. Kevin Atwater- My My My!: ANOTHER cover of a favorite song of mine! Happy pride, specifically to Kevin Atwater and Troye Sivan.

P.S. Shout out to All-Access Bestie Mayralee M. for suggesting “Turns Out That I Am” by Cam!

1. The Marias album aesthetics are everythinggggg. 

2. Doechii finally got her Grammy in the mail.

3. Reneé Rapp on Ziwe had me on the floor.

things that i’ve been super into lately that i need to share with you guys

1. Super special style section this week, brought to you by two of our All-Access Besties Emi and Mari, who made an incredibly in-depth Pinterest board for ATG outfit inspo that anyone who is stumped can use! 

   1. Mari: How it starts: Once the lineup dropped we immediately added sections to the board, one for each day, we talked about the artists and the vibes of the music and how that could reflect on our outfits (a lot of the time what the artists wear when performing is also part of our inspirations), for example; Day 1 is heavily based on The Last Dinner Party (for how they dress) and Noah Kahan (for the vibe of the music), Day 2 is more influenced by Clairo, and Day three by Kesha.

   2. Emi: Process after we started: After the sections are made we continuously add pictures and bounce off each other for ideas of outfit inspo that fit the vibe we’re going for; sometimes taking inspiration from the entirety of an outfit or just certain aspects. A key detail that stays consistent with every outfit is that we like to Mary-Kate and Ashley match, we aim to match but also be different and express ourselves in our own way. We save everything from outfits to hair to makeup and more just to get that full picture, and by the time festival day rolls around we have the whole look together!

movies, tv shows, and actors on my radar right now

1. This past weekend I saw the latest Wes Anderson movie, “The Phoenician Scheme”. Michael Cera has had my heart for years, but he was absolutely perfect in this and I love him even more.

2. Pedro #5 won the lookalike contest this weekend. And this is the first time in lookalike contest history that I am pretty convinced this is in fact Pedro Pascal pretending not to be himself.

3. Who’s ready for 28 Years Later this week!?!? I still can’t believe we are finally getting this…

ALL THINGS MUSIC

1. “Deep In Love”  -Bonny Light Horseman

2. “Too Pretty For Buffalo” -Baby Nova

3. “Full Machine” -Gracie Abrams

ALL THINGS INTERNET

1. I have a theory that every guy really does want a yapper girl in their life. Makes you feel loved.

2. Hopecore videos still kills me and yes the way to my heart is actually banana bread.

3. Anything Christopher Walken is an instant yes from me.

ALL THINGS STYLE

1. I'm a huge fan of anything from Broadway & Sons a vintage store out of Stockholm. 

2. I've been doing a big deep dive on Pinterest into celebrity airport outfits from the 90's which makes me want to reluctantly be a little less cosy while traveling.

3. I actually have a playlist that I rotate monthly called "moons & feelings" which is my little source of inspiration out and about.

SONG LYRIC OF THE DAY

A song lyric of the day ifs from a song by Baby Nova that's been stuck in my head for a while now:

"You're too pretty for Buffalo Katie, f**k this city for making you feel crazy"

Well I think I have rambled enough for one day. Looking forward to seeing some of you soon and the rest of you soon enough. Thanks for being here.

Lots of love,

Haz
