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

1. Been eyeing these jeans (and the rest of the fall collection) from P & Co. lately… it’s just so perfect for fall, I love all the colors. I also really dig this scorpion vest I think it’s SO sick.

2. Here’s my list of painfully autumn songs that will make you sick to your stomach with nostalgia but probably in a good way?

3. I recently came across this small brand Too Tomboy that makes sustainable, fashionable clothes for tomboys & mascs that are tired of shopping in the mens section!

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

1. I saw One Battle After Another and it was seriously amazing. Give everyone the Oscar. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve watched a nearly three hour movie and didn’t think about how long it had been since I sat down. 

2. The Academy Museum Gala gave us tons of looks, but this photo of Mikey Madison and Jenna Ortega is absolutely jaw dropping.

3. As a lover of weird but aesthetic movies, I’ve been fishing for movie recs in the comments of this video. So many films I haven’t heard of that instantly got added to my watchlist.
