Wordwide Womenswear Digest – WWWWD is a webzine draped in a satiny attire that some people call the Onion of fashion news. I call it the perfect prescription for costume curators down in basements, FIT dropouts turned librarians, and a childhood friend of mine that is about to pop out of Parsons. Way to go, Jon! Thanks to local fashion blogs Haute in the Heartland and ballcaps and neckties for the tip.

$20 Per Gallon – A soon to be released book by a senior writer at Forbes named Christopher Steiner.

Can’t wait for it to hit the library.

Monday Music – “The Strangers” by St. Vincent. Apparently, I have a thing for saints.
