THE WRAP
Today’s issue was written by Dylan.
Editor’s pick: Starland is one of my favorite vintage shops in Nashville, and I never leave empty handed. In fact, one of my favorite finds from a few years ago is a print of the Piggly Wiggly mascot donningDavid Bowie’s iconic lightning bolt face paint. It reads “Piggly Stardust” and still hangs up in my kitchen. ⚡
