This holiday season, the one thing I absolutely, positively cannot live without is...
"Fluffy vintage cardigans, the itchier and uglier the better. I've already amassed a small collection of colors (blue, yellow, multi-colored stripe) and I'm always on the look out for more to add. Gonna pop 'em on over all my gothy black dresses for the cold months."

Current food obsession...
"I've been slowly but surely grabbing an array of exciting-to-me jams and jellies from farmstands and the nicer grocery stores, so I'm looking forward to working through my collection this winter with the help of heaps of buttered toast. Really into pear butter right now."

The one song I can listen to over and over...and over to is...
"It's got to be "Disintegration" by The Cure. If you're only familiar with this band's uber-popular hits, you are sorely missing out. This song is well over eight minutes long but every time it reaches the end I think to myself: 'It can't be the end already. Let's listen again.'"

The latest trick I've picked up from the other R29 editors is...
"Well I've been eager to get in on the at-home produce skincare game, and I think this recipe-heavy piece might put me over the edge and into the grocery store."
