EDITOR’S NOTE Happy Sunday. Blame it on the Big Winter, but I’ve decided this summer I’m summer-ing. Here’s how I’m doing that this weekend: My sister’s usually the one copying me. But after seeing her in the season’s “It” shoe, I’ve decided it’s the middle ground my closet needs (think: more elevated than a sneaker, more comfortable than a sandal). I’ll ditch my summer wardrobe superhero (a white linen dress) for this unexpectedly stylish color, which is more versatile and infinitely more forgiving. Clumsy girls, our time has come. This week, I discovered Trader Joe’s is carrying a cult-favorite fruit I’d somehow never tried — and it’s the best thing to happen to me since Sumo Oranges. The season is short, so I’ll be hoarding it like there’s no tomorrow. Rather than waiting until the night before my first beach trip to decide I hate every bathing suit I own, I’ll replace some of the most dated ones with the quietly chic trend I’m already seeing all over my feeds. Inspired by the arrival of strawberries at the farmers’ market, I’ll whip up the first of what’ll be many versions of Summer’s Greatest Dessert™ — which is too easy to make and so gooey, it’s best eaten with a spoon.
