Gift Guide: For the Serial Fan

/

Did you hear the news? There is a second season of Serial. A SECOND season. This is great news! I can't even remember life without this podcast. We started listening October 10th during a ride to visit my sister in DC and after the first episode, we were hooked. I'm actually very thankful for Serial because it opened my mind up to so many other podcasts, including Slate's Serial Spoiler Specials podcast, which I talked about here, Criminal and 99% Invisible. My brain is full of new information and I love it!

So with Serial hopefully taking us into the new year, into the frigid cold months of winter, I thought it would be fitting to do a gift guide for the Serial-obsessed like me! Here are all the accessories to make this listening experience even better:

  1. These white leather and rose gold plated headphones to look ultra chic on your walk to work
  2. This portable charger so you can never find yourself not able to listen to Serial
  3. This vintage-inspired bluetooth gramophone for when you decide you rather listen to Serial than watch #TGIT. Pop some popcorn and turn down the lights - it's actually really fun
  4. These leather and fur tech gloves so you can reply, rewind and research on-the-go without getting frost bite
  5. This phone case that says it all
  6. This car charger that charges a million things when you've drained all the battery power thanks to Serial

Obsessing Over Lately

/

Hi guys! I’m in-flight right now, but wanted to let you in on what I’ve been up to and my latest obsessions:

  • I just spent the last 48 hours with Jen from Head to Toe working on a fun project for my client. If you haven’t checked out her YouTube channel, you must head over there immediately! My favorite tutorials include this one and this one!
  • While in Seattle, I dropped into Pendleton and fell in love with this coat (mom - take note!)
  • I still have my eye on this backpack, but also considering this one as well. I know it’s a splurge, but a great quality handbag is a must! I think I need this little guy too ha!
  • Besides being a shopaholic lately, I’m also really obsessed podcasts like the rest of the world. I started listening to Slate’s Serial Spoiler Specials podcast. It’s sort of like a book club recap where they discuss, in depth, the latest episode, but what’s so interesting is their thoughtful critique of Sarah Koenig’s storytelling approach from a journalistic point of view - I strongly recommend listening!
  • I’m also madly in love with the concept behind Homepolish. It’s a fairly new start-up that provides affordable interior design services. They just did this office redesign for Into the Gloss and it’s beyond beautiful.
  • I recently read this article in Lucky Magazine about one of my favorite shop owners and I’m now obsessed with her home and wanting a home!
  • And lastly, I’ve been obsessed with my long hair that I no longer have - see above. Why did I ever cut it!
