_{Read in 5m 12s ∙ Listening to Miley Cyrus ∙}

Hello hello!

It’s been one of those weeks where only a bit of nostalgic pop will do and I’ve had Miley Cyrus on pretty much nonstop this week (and I stand by this: He Could Be the One is actually one of the absolute best tracks from the soundtrack – no notes). Consider this your sign to revisit your own fave throwbacks!

Scroll on for our usual round up of headlines, as well as a few culture recs to see you through the weekend! ❣️
