Macabre Music

2016's film 'The Witch' has an incredible soundtrack by Mark Korven, if you love spooky, eerie, macabre music, you have to try it. At one point the vocals are truly terrifying and it's so spooky you may feel actually creeped out instead of 'fun' scared. It's a true masterwork.

Another piece to be sure to try is Ben Leinbach's 'The Hierophant'. While it is also labeled as 'yoga' or meditation music, it's a little eerie as well.

Shopping

Rainy day shopping online is so much fun, I love scrolling through all the sales--Hervia is a great place to look at new stuff, or SVMoscow, as is the classic Net-à-porter. Deadstock from NYC is THE place to get sneakers. Perfume shopping is also a really fun way to while away a nice lazy afternoon, like on the infamous for interesting scents Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, or the classic Perfumed Court, where you can get samples of almost anything [if not, try ebay]. Ca fleure bon is the best perfume blog for interesting discussion of unique scents, it sucks you in!

For odd historical-people and writers [ie Hemmingway] inspired perfumes, try Sweet Tea Apothecary. They would make great gifts. Strange Invisible is a really interesting new perfume line as well, if you're bored with the Serge Lutens of the world. Fragrantica is the place to see how others have reviewed/described zillions of perfumes as you try to decide what to get.

And catching up on the tv show Black-ish is also the best. Their episode on money was hilarious--and I want Dre's shoes that he over-nighted from Japan! They were gorgeous. There's a 'worn on' source here, since they have great style on that show.
