Well, folks, it’s that time of year! That time when I show off a little skin, and douse it in sunscreen lest I burn to a crisp in 15 minutes. I go from Casper to Elmo with a quickness. Lately I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a spray tan, just for fun, but I’m torn. I’ve never understood the whole obsession with being tan, nor have I ever understood why people like to tease me for being pale. As if being pale is innately ugly or something I should be embarrassed about. What’s the deal with that? I mean, have you people ever seen Cate Blanchett?! Anyway, I’ve always embraced my paleness. It’s just what my skin looks like. So if I get a spray tan, would I be abandoning my principles? But on the other hand, I wear makeup most days, and how is this any different? And I must admit, a little glow is nice and summery, and why knock something before I’ve tried it?

Time to weigh in, Internet. Here are your options: (1) Sarah, go get some faux color; (2) Sarah, don’t give in to the tan pressure; or (3) Sarah, children are getting separated from their parents at the border. Please shut up. Your problems are not problems.

Moto jackets are my FAVE. They make me look cool (which obviously I am, but, you know…never hurts to be sure), and they’re a practical layering piece. I have a nice collection of leather and suede ones, but I can’t be a badass all the time, right? Now I have this tweed one to switch it up. To be honest, it’s probably a more appropriate level of cool for me. Like a grandma at punk concert. But a really low-key punk concert that ends at 8pm.
