Narrowing them down to 30 was not easy, y’all, but these are the ones I keep coming back to. Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons - [On Repeat // Playlist 80](https://scoutsixteen.com/on-repeat-playlist-80/) - Picture it... It's the year 2000 and you're in the way-back seat of your aunt's Dodge minivan. She left the car running while she runs into Walgreens to pick up her prescription from the pharmac. The radio is on and tuned into FM 107.5 (hey, Memphis!) and they're playing THE HITS; they debut Britney Spears' - [30 Travel Essentials Under $30](https://scoutsixteen.com/30-travel-essentials-under-30/) - They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a travel pillow that doesn’t strangle you mid-nap — and, you know what, that’s pretty close. Over countless flights, road trips, and “I'll just buy it when I land” moments, I’ve rounded up 30 affordable Amazon travel essentials that have become my ride-or-dies. Each one - [Music Monday / 79](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-79/) - And just like that... spring has sprung! I don't know about y'all but I was about *this* close to clawing my eyes out after this extended winter. That groundhog can absolutely go to hell. In the words of Billie Eilish - what was I made for? Spoiler alert: it ain't winter! For your consideration, I've compiled - [Quarantine Mix 5](https://scoutsixteen.com/quarantine-mix-5/) - When we were thrown in quarantine nearly a year ago, I shifted my weekly Music Monday playlists into larger Quarantine Mixes every month or two. I didn’t imagine in my wildest dreams that we’d still be in quarantine into 2021… but here we are! I know that many of us are struggling to find balance - [Music Monday / 27](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-27/) - After taking a week off from Music Monday, I’m back with a vengeance (and a pretty kick ass playlist) – an old favorite, some new viral tracks, and an acoustic cover of Bieber’s “Where Are Ü Now” round out this week’s track list. If you feel any of these tracks in your bones, I implore you - [Freakin' Weekend / 03](https://scoutsixteen.com/freakin-weekend-03/) - This week was a bit of a rough one... I finally fell victim to the wintry cold that's been two-stepping its way around New York City. Its song-and-dance is one I'm quite familiar with so I let myself hibernate for 48 hours while it did its worst. I'm not quite back to 100% but I - [Father Figure](https://scoutsixteen.com/father-figure/) - I'm not usually one to claim 'main character energy' but y'all today was the exception. This all-black outfit had me strutting around the East Village radiating that can't-tell-me-nothin' attitude that only head-to-toe black can give you... and I swear every time I caught my reflection, the chorus from George Michael's "Father Figure" would immediately start - [It's A Plaid, Plaid World](https://scoutsixteen.com/its-a-plaid-plaid-world/) - Remember that time one of my favorite brands invited me to their Thanksgiving dinner and I showed up wearing head-to-toe tartan? Yeah... um, me neither. [facepalm] In my defense, the invite specified a "come bold and festive" dress code so I thought it was like an 'Ugly Christmas Sweater' kind of shindig. It was not. - [Music Monday / 77](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-77/) - Another week, another playlist! Shocking, right? Y'all, this weekend tested my willpower... I had two different friend's birthdays to celebrate, which means I was showing up both Friday and Saturday at red-level "full steam ahead" status. Why is it that (without fail) everybody in your friend group has birthdays in the same month?! It boggles - [Sweater Weather](https://scoutsixteen.com/sweater-weather-menswear-ss25/) - Fall/Winter 2024 may be in our rear-view mirror but, with 8-10 weeks of cold weather unfortunately still ahead, its biggest style trends are still in play. From oversized boss coats and silky sheer layers to leather separates and novel accessories, FW24 had a slew of menswear hits. But one of my personal favorites? Embracing bold, - [Freakin' Weekend / 02](https://scoutsixteen.com/freakin-weekend-02/) - This week was a wild one... absolutely jam-packed! I got back from my best friend's birthday trip at midnight on Monday and immediately went into 3 full event days for one of my clients. I think I might have slept a total of 15 hours over the last 4 days but, with nothing on deck - [Music Monday / 76](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-76/) - Can I just say... is there anything better than an entire weekend spent outdoors (and fireside) with your best friends? This weekend was one of those weekends and I'm still riding on the high. They're few and far between so when they show up, I dive right in! That said, let's move into this week's - [Music Monday / 74](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-74/) - New music? Well, hell yes! I know it’s been a month since my last playlist but I’m finally getting myself back on track with these… think of it like a New Year’s Resolution, just eleven months late. Cut me some slack, y'all know that totally tracks for me. This week’s list is packed with some - [Music Monday / 75](https://scoutsixteen.com/music-monday-75/) - Another week, another playlist! I won’t beat around the bush – this list has some top-tier tunes on it and y'all know I had to add a few of the killer remixes that have gotten me through winter. Seasonal depression, be damned! So, without further distraction, grab those headphones and get to jammin'... Don’t forget - [Jean Therapy](https://scoutsixteen.com/jean-therapy/) - Though I'm rarely feeling 'blue', I love the color. There's something so inherently soothing about it. I don't know if it's because it reminds me of watching gentle ocean waves or staring up at a clear summer sky, but wearing blue brings an immediate and intense sense of calm that's hard to replicate. It will - [Bel Air Baby](https://scoutsixteen.com/bel-air-baby/) - While I wasn't exactly chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool today, this sporty California Incline sweat set had me feelin' like it! Y'all already know I'm not one to leave the house in my comfies... but when the comfies look (and feel!) as good as good as this, I make an exception. I can't stress - [Milk Chocolate](https://scoutsixteen.com/milk-chocolate/) - Growing up, one of my favorite movies was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I don't think I need to explain how a ragtag band of kids getting to go hog-wild in rooms made of candy was extremely appealing to me. AND the poor, weird kid wins in the end?! As a very poor and - [Freakin' Weekend / 01](https://scoutsixteen.com/freakin-weekend-01/) - What're y'all up to this weekend? I'm headed to Turks & Caicos today for my best friend's 40th birthday. I'll be honest, I'm not ready for my inner circle to enter this era. These are the same people who've chipped teeth doing keg stands (twice!); the same ones I've ugly-cried with at 4am in grimy - [(Don't) Let It Snow](https://scoutsixteen.com/dont-let-it-snow/) - Unpopular opinion: I really don’t like snow. But.. I’ll admit there's something the tiniest bit magical about snow days in NYC, especially now that they're increasingly rare. I'm not a total curmudgeon! Yesterday morning, the City took a collective pause to savor a few hours of pristine snowfall... because, as any New Yorker knows, it - [Winter Soldier](https://scoutsixteen.com/winter-soldier/) - Ahhh... winter in the City. I've come to accept that I will never dress just right for the weather... some days it's deceptively warm and other days it's a frozen tundra. I will inevitably sweat through my clothes on the 6 train and, minutes later, I'm fighting for my life against the arctic wind tunnel - [To East Village, With Love](https://scoutsixteen.com/to-east-village-with-love/) - If you'd asked me to describe my style 15 years ago, "grunge" and "eclectic" would've been the last words I'd choose. Yet here I am today, with those exact words in my top 5. That's the magic of the East Village - it has a way of pulling you into its beautiful chaos.
