Retail Therapy by Sunday Scaries

This week we dive into the trending Aime Leon Dad who recreates Aime Leon Dore's lookbook images with his own clothing, we read through the viral article from The Cut about marrying a rich older man, and we discuss Will's emotions surrounding typing in lowercase. We also dive into some articles of interest — Kim K getting sued, a $500 ladcore jersey, and Gen Z being super into hallucinogens — before we do our wishlist items.

A special edition of The Sunday Scaries Podcast. This week, I tackled the frustration of learning a new skill or hobby, the leisure-inspired Scottish concept of “Hurkle Durkle,” and creating space in your daily life using “yutori.” Subscribe to the newsletter: willdefries.substack.com  Shop the Sunday Scaries Scented Candles: www.vellabox.com/sundayscaries Follow Along Will deFries on Twitter: www.twitter.com/willdefries Will deFries on Instagram: www.instagram.com/willdefries  Sunday Scaries on Twitter: www.twitter.com/sundayscaries Sunday Scaries on Instagram: www.instagram.com/sunday.scaries Credits Music by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0

The vibes shifted this week to The Great American West. Inspired by Beyonce's pivot to country, we go through the various reasons cowboy fashion simply won't go away. We also take the first part of today's episode to discuss The Rule of 5 — a way of consciously consuming by only buying five items for your closet per year. To round things out, we discuss some Kevin Murphy hair products, the viral caviar martini, Lorde's $170 water bottle, hotel robes, bogcore, and more.

Does olive oil and maldon salt actually taste good on vanilla ice cream? Answers to those questions and more.

Now that all of 2023's vibes have finally shifted, we can make our final determinations of the year about what's IN and what's OUT. Showering at the luxury gym, ankle cleavage, Portait Mode, Saltburn, zippered shirts, Ralph Lauren, and more — we always seem to cover more in these episodes than any others.

Feel that? It's the vibes shifting as we go into the new year. Today we talked two articles of interest that we fully broke down — T Magazine's "What We’ll Be Obsessing Over in 2024" and After School's "The Gen Z Gift Guide: What do they actually want for the holidays?" We also dive into some severe sweater talk — the sweaters that own real estate in our heads, our current rotations, recent sweaters we can't stop thinking about, and more. And, of course, wishlist items.

With the holidays in full effect, we were feeling a bit... cozy. To kick things off, we had a full discussion about sleepwear: robes, slippers, high-end pajamas, Ugg x Palace, and Kith x Birkenstock. From there, we dove into the absolute vibe that is Stratford Gerald (@stratfordgerald) on Instagram, as well as a dive into Snoopy, Country Mouse-core, cozy illustrations, and more. And toward the end of our episode, we touched on some articles of interest (G-Shock x Online Ceramics, Gen Z buying old iPods, voluminous pants circle of life) and wishlist items.

This week, Will interviewed Ethan Glenn of Every Other Thursday. They discussed his move from Toronto to LA, the beginning stages and inspiration behind the brand, the utility of TikTok, his shopping habits and inspirations, the enjoyment of shopping for vinyls, and more. They then took a page from The Sunday Scaries Podcast and finished things out with how he spends his Sundays. Oh, and Will and Randy broke down the new aesthetic that just dropped: Classic Sage Green Craftsman Bungalows before the interview got started. Enjoy.
