EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. Public pools officially opened for the season in New York yesterday, and if the rain holds out long enough, you know that’s where I’ll be. It’s one of my favorite (and free) ways to spend a summer afternoon. Next, I’m going to a cheesemonger competition (yes, really) where I look forward to eating my weight in Brie. Here’s what else I’m thinking about…

• As a longtime fan of Martha Stewart’s thirst traps, she’s convinced me to try the drugstore beauty product that she apparently uses to get perfectly glowy skin. If it’s good enough for Martha, it’s good enough for me. 

• Catching up on Every Single Album, my favorite pop music podcast, as the hosts dive into Olivia Rodrigo’s new album. (Yes, I’ve had “Expectations” on repeat for two weeks straight.) 

• Dreaming about throwing a little dinner party where this ridiculously fun high-low pairing is the star of the show. 

• Being very, very brave and buying a new strapless bra for the tube top I impulse bought on final sale from J.Crew. 

• This viral salty-sweet recipe has infiltrated my every thought, so I will not be able to rest until I try it. (Side note, do I need to up my sprinkle game?)
