Weekend Reading 10.17.26

How to respond to a passive-aggressive comment. I cannot believe that Girls is coming back. The 43 best restaurants in New York. This monthโ€™s must-read books, the most exciting hotel openings of this fall, and 2027โ€™s trending destinations. More Girls! And Crazy Rich Asians, too. What Adam Brody learned from twelve years of marriage. Entry-level boyfriends, taking your friends to work, a recipe for garlicky steak bites. Plus the usual shopping finds and so much more. I hope you enjoy the list

The Up Next Edit, Vol. 9

I’ve been trying to incorporate some unexpected pieces into my wardrobe lately, and I’m feeling inspired by the vibrancy of the colors, patterns, and materials coming down the runways this fashion month. While this roundup leans into my usual (black, black, and more black), I’m particularly drawn right now to shapes and silhouettes that bring a little more flair to the everyday. Maybe this is the month I finally convince myself that my wardrobe could use a little less black and a little more personality.

The Wednesday Ten, No. 25

Every Wednesday, Iโ€™ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. Iโ€™m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe itโ€™s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe itโ€™s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.

Best of Beauty: October 2026

I share so much beauty on Instagram and Substack, but I thought it would be fun to start a new thing here where Carly and I each share five of our recent beauty favorites. We will start with the Irene Forte Night Cream: This is probably my best beauty discovery in a long time. I’ve been deeply loyal to Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream for probably ten years. I’ve tested and tried new things along the way, of course… but nothing has wowed me enough to ever (even think about!) making a full-on swap.

Styling Last Weekโ€™s Best-Sellers, Vol. 24

Every week onย Instagram, I share the previous weekโ€™s best-selling products. You can always see those collections savedย hereย on my ShopMy Page. Itโ€™s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we added a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous weekโ€™s favorite styles and show you how I would style them. I hope this provides some fun inspiration. Today, we are styling this amazing fringe t-shirt dress from Shopbop, this gorgeous Liffner velvet clutch, this cozy crewneck, and these classic straight-leg jeans.

Weekend Reading 10.10.26

Everything we know about the Evelyn Hugo film. Plus, the Verity ending explained. I loved both of these books and am really looking forward to the film adaptations. An interview with the head merchant of Net-a-Porter. On shrinking your plans, not canceling them. New books to read this month, Cyndi Lauperโ€™s personal style, the fine dining flip. Everything streaming this month (so excited for Nobody Wants This season 3).
