erica’s things

Bidding farewell to Lucky magazine (where I worked, prior to starting this ol’ thing!). Rumaan Alam's sendoff rings very true.
Feeling like a U.S. Open champ in this tennis dress. Let’s not talk about my serve speed, though…
Craving classic—and vegetarian—summer cookout sides. Ones calling out to me: marinated cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes, broccoli slaw, and stewed green beans (with soy sauce delivering the umami-ness instead of the meat).
Filling a Stephen Colbert-shaped hole in my heart with his new podcast that’s like a Late Show prequel.
Spreading the word about this Airbnb situation in Ojai, California—just in case you’re in the market for the perfect, easy summer getaway.

Adding Coverjunkie—a celebration of beautiful magazine covers that’s reminiscent of my bedroom walls in high school—to the list of design-nerd sites I turn to for visual inspiration.
Feeling incredibly grateful that Push for Pizza did not exist during my college years—it is basically like Uber for pizza delivery and it is pure danger.
Finding myself desperate to know Jake Gyllenhaal’s true height thanks to Starlee Kine’s hilarious podcast The Mystery Show.
Saving up all my pennies (and I do mean all of them) for a so-worth-it haircut from Chris Lospalluto. My mom’s even started seeing him now, so you know the relationship’s getting serious.
Getting my butt kicked by Joe Holder at S10 in downtown NYC. One session of his Run Strong class already has me completely rethinking my form.
