WHAT’S NEW
This week we’re sharing masks you should buy, talking about Anna B’s picks to wear, and highlighting the best places to read a book in NYC this weekend.
CULTURE CORNER
READ
Let’s be real — New York is NOT made for dining outdoors. Street-side garbage, loud traffic and rats are 3 (occasionally true) stereotypes that make the concept sound particularly unappealing. Nonetheless, businesses have been shaking things up to bring in more diners after a tough Spring. Read this Curbed article about the insane temporary architecture of outdoor dining popping up in a neighborhood near you.
SHOP
Until about last week we only had one mask each that we hand washed alllll the time. I guess we were hoping this wouldn’t last so long? (lol). Well times have changed - we have more masks and wear them proudly! Here are the 3 that we love (tolerate) to wear.
Clare V. Bisous Masks
$35 for 4 masks
Poketto x Meals Face Mask Set
$20 for 2 masks
YCD Studio “3-D” Face Mask
$19.50 for 1 mask
PAINT
Soooo we’re at around month 4 of quarantine and there’s a fair chance you're getting tired of your space. Luckily, one of our favorite design shops, Coming Soon, has collaborated with Backdrop on a series of 3 fun paint colors. Get yours here and throw it at a wall!!! (We snagged the blue to paint our french doors!)
WEAR
What Anna B. is (wanting to) wear right now.
- For socially distanced picnic parties in Prospect Park: this pink cotton linen suit from Caron Callahan.
- For trips to the farmer’s market in search of fresh peaches for peach focaccia with thyme: the Lillian Dress in Wayne Pate Tulip Print from Whit.
- For cooking the peach focaccia with thyme: this Ace & Jig Benji Jumpsuit.
