The Weekend Setup: October 5, 2023

Fall Style Upgrade: Brown Donegal Blazer

It’s that time of the year again when Starbucks is pumping out the pumpkin lattes and everyone is scrambling to upgrade their wardrobe to fit the changing season. If you’re looking to stay on point this fall, a brown donegal sport coat or blazer is a must-have in your closet. This versatile piece can be dressed up or down, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The texture and fall colors of the donegal fabric make it a versatile option for any occasion, whether you’re dressing up for date night or running errands on the weekend. Banana Republic Factory offers a great option at an affordable price, while Spier & Mackay offers a higher-end option made from wool and silk. Whichever route you choose, be confident in your stylish choice and enjoy the crisp fall air.

What to Watch: Acapulco on Apple TV+

Step into a time machine and travel back to the 1980s with Apple TV+ latest addition to its lineup of binge-worthy TV shows. Acapulco follows the misadventures of Maximo, a young man with big dreams who lands a job at a luxurious resort in the titular city. The show is a perfect mixture of comedy and storytelling and delivers an unapologetically nostalgic vibe with its throwback ’80s style and music. The show already has 2 seasons with 10 episodes each and has been renewed for a third season.

What to Read: Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter

Are you looking for a thought-provoking read that will challenge your views on everyday choices? Look no further than Michael Easter’s latest work, Scarcity Brain. As someone who’s already a huge fan of Easter’s previous book, The Comfort Crisis, I had high expectations — and he definitely exceeded them. The book dives into the depths of how scarcity influences our decision-making, from our diets to our finances. Based on his extensive research and personal experiences, Easter delves into the fascinating concept of scarcity and how it impacts our cognitive functions. He explores how scarcity of resources, time, and even food can affect our decision-making abilities and overall mental health. It’s an eye-opening read that provides valuable insights into the human brain and how to mitigate the negative effects of scarcity in our lives.
