tuesday bassen staples, elevated

Tuesday Bassen's best-selling classics are back and better than ever! With new and improved fits and materials, bombers and hoodies just got a serious upgrade.

Last week I went out to the desert with my boss and pal, Tuesday Bassen.

We hit up the superbloom on our way out to Desert X.

my spring/summer 2016 wardrobe

I have sworn off shorts for a while. I couldn't get down. But for some reason recently I was like "What the fuck? I like my legs! I like being able to move around without worrying about my underwear showing!"
So I decided to give shorts another chance.

I'm going on tour with Jeff Rosenstock and my band, Upset in the last half of May, so I've been collecting new pieces of clothing for my "tour look". Usually I'm super drawn to bright colors, but lately I've been into more muted colors. My look for this spring/summer is retro camp/athletic; shorts with tube socks, ringer tees under denim jackets and army/navy button-ups (with all the badass Tuesday Bassen gear adorning those jackets), cherry nails and lips courtesy of MAC x Charlotte Olympia, bobby pins and barrettes to keep my growing hair out of my face, and my trusty Doc Marten Elphies for a nice touch of sturdy femininity.

things i'd buy if i weren't trying to be a responsible adult

Since I turned 29 I've felt a stronger desire to take care of my health and finances.
I got myself a ban.do agenda (which I am OBSESSED WITH), and cute stickers, pens, and post it notes to make my organization look good.

Naturally, I will never stop wanting to buy every little cute thing I see, but until I win the lottery (or just get a "real" job/stop chasing dreams), it will have to suffice to just look at cute, pretty, shiny things online. So instead of surfing the web and pining over all the stuff I can't afford, I will show them to you and we can commiserate about wanting all the things.

Here are my latest wants and wishes...
