THEME // FANTASTIC MR. FOX

A MINI THEME EDIT 

Thanksgiving, full of warmth and reflection feel like the perfect time to watch  Fantastic Mr. Fox, the kid friendly claymation from Wes Anderson. 

Carly found herself accidentally theming as Mrs. Fox 

And the color palette is a solid one for any fall occasion, reminding us to restock our fridges sustainably by shopping local and organic. 

Mercedes enjoyed decorating while watching Fantastic Mr. Fox, in a comfy on-theme dress. 

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the Christmas Season! 

xoxo

DO//

If we took anything away from the Sanderson Sisters, it’s this: the things we do with intention, matter. You don’t have to recite spells to participate in ritual; if done with intention, practice and/or in routine, anything can be ritualistic. Here are some ideas for things to do this time of year, or whenever you need a touch of the otherworldly feeling.

visit a spooky landmark, play with crystals in your home, beauty routine or crafting, throw a dress-up party

take a walk through a graveyard, form a calming circle, visit a spooky museum or exhibit

LISTEN//

In putting together this theme’s playlist, we’ve learned the motif of the witch is everywhere in music. Linked is a small compilation of spooky, full moon tunes so you can pretend you’re on a broomstick while you drive to work. Listen here.

THEME // SANDERSON SISTERS RETURN

For Theme Edit’s first abbreviated “Disney Edit”, we’d like to bestow upon thou a guide inspired by one of our favorite movies to watch this time of year, ‘Hocus Pocus’.

This September, the 90’s cult film returned with the three Sanderson sisters brought back to life by a not so happy accident. We enjoyed the nostalgia revived alongside the sisters, so getting a little witchy in their honor felt appropriate. Subscribe to receive our guide as we countdown to All Hallows Eve.

COLOR//

Color brings emotion and direction - use this pallet to guide your daily decisions and as a reference not return to when you need those cozy Autumn Americana feels

READ//

“The Nora Ephron We Forget” by Rachel Same for The New Yorker

A deeper look into the woman who has become the icon of “sappy romance” meets intellectual dialogue with films that seem to never stop warming our hearts.

WEAR//

In an article from Men’s Flair on the roots of American ‘Prep’, it’s stated that the most attractive aspect of the ‘preppy’ style and reason for its commercial success is its “rumpled and ironic blending of dress and casual clothes.” What was birthed in the 50’s as a way of showing status and uniformity amongst the east coast elite, evolved into the all-american interpretation of the 80’s. Hip-hop stars were wearing the varsity jackets that were previously reserved for one class and color, what’s more American than that?
