iPods, Algorithms and Outfits

This week, Emily and Lilli are diving into the internet, the archives, and their wardrobes — and honestly, it’s a ride. They unpack the new Instagram feature that lets you manipulate your algorithm (yes, really) and what it means for how we consume content — and ourselves. Is this the beginning of a more intentional scroll, or are we just creating another reason to spend even more time on our phones? Then, a nostalgic detour: are iPods… back? From the chokehold of the iPod Classic to the growing craving for offline listening, they explore why old tech might just be the next best thing. Of course, they couldn’t not debrief Coachella 2026 — including the Justin Bieber moment. What’s going on, what are the vibes, and why does it feel like festivals aren’t about the music and experience anymore? And finally, Lilli shares her long-time love of Allison Bornstein and how she’s implementing real changes to her wardrobe — shopping her own closet, building new outfits, and completely shifting how she gets dressed. ​​It’s a thoughtful reset that’s genuinely changing the way she approaches style.
