erica’s things

Tearing through Commonwealth. This book, everybody—and if you don’t already sweat Ann Patchett hard, clearly you’ve never heard an interview with her.
Jazzing up some tuna salad. Miso and scallions FTW!
Trying on so many jeans and landing on a (high-rise crop!) pair by Re/Done that comes with free repairs for life, turns out.
Thinking it might be time to revisit Barcelona, where I studied-abroad a dozen years ago, because how cute is this hotel Casa Bonay?! Less cheap cava and bread-and-Nutella dinners this stay, though.
YAS-ing that New York mag’s The Strategist section now has an online home. The posts on cult condiments and Japanese nail clippers both have my heart racing.

Surprising myself by getting way into HBO’s Westworld. Never been much for sci-fi, yet here I am, devouring any and all bananas theories about it.
Anticipating some leaf-peeping in my future after poking around Red Cottage’s impressive array of design-y and daydream-y Upstate New York rentals.
Rejecting the tyranny of ugly contact lens cases littering my bathroom counter with this little guy.
Finding a use for the bottom-shelf vodka gathering dust in the cabinet: DIY fabric refresher.
Spending an entire afternoon eating, drinking, browsing books, and playing games at the charming and picturesque Montague Bookmill in Western Massachusetts.
