EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. After approximately 700 listens to Phoebe Bridgers’s Lost Weekend, I’m still grappling with the fact that one of the most romantic songs I’ve ever heard is seemingly about the guy I was obsessed with on YouTube in middle school. Please don’t ask if I cried the first time I heard it, because I will deny it. Here’s what else I’m up to…

• Adding a top or two with this flattering neckline to my wardrobe. If it was good enough for Audrey Hepburn, it’s good enough for me. 

• Upping my tofu game with this food scientist’s game-changer of a cooking hack that apparently improves both the texture and the taste in just a few extra minutes.

• Assuaging my end-of-summer scaries with this guide to in-between-seasons transitional shoes. No. 3 is all I want to wear in September, because I’m not sweating my way through knee-high boots before it truly cools down outside. 

• Stopping by my local thrift store to hunt down this little piece of vintage home decor, which is apparently the answer I’ve been seeking for where to store Q-tips and cotton balls in my bathroom. 

• Injecting some fun into my handbag collection with one in this funky print, which yes, I do consider a neutral.
