Weekly Roundup: What To Read This Weekend

This week: plants are magic, jeans are the best, everyone loves Rihanna—and more.

Welcome to my crib: From Virginia Woolf’s “writing lodge”—which was actually a converted toolshed—to James Baldwin’s villa in France, an illustrated list of places where acclaimed writers did their thing, c/o The Paris Review.

Wardrobe superheroes: Three creative women share how they get stuff done (and why they wear jeans while they do it) in a series of interviews on Refinery29.

Calling all plant people: OK, aside from the strangely calming time-lapse videos of leaves springing to life, this article also provides useful info if you want to know which kind of plant to bring home next—on Apartment Therapy.

Dream team: The queen of really good covers, Chan Marshall (aka Cat Power), is giving a sneak peek of her upcoming album. Listen to her take on Rihanna’s “Stay,” thanks to The Fader.

Join the party: Did you hear the news? We launched Madewell Men’s (!). Get the full scoop over at GQ.

Word: estrenar (v.; Spanish): to wear something for the first time (and hopefully feel so good you never wanna take it off). It’s been said this happens when you try our denim.

Get more of our recs and shop our newest arrivals.
