The Weekly Edit

a new barneys new york tv show, road trips, summer desserts, the carolyn bessette-kennedy sandal and so much more

Hii and happy weekend! Is it just me, or does it feel like Mercury must be in retrograde? On top of tech chaos, my daughter is finishing preschool, and it’s been emotional over here. I’ll spare you the details by quickly getting into the edit before my computer gives out, or before I start to ugly cry face and wax poetic about time. I hope you had a nice (and less dramatic) week!

xx,

This week’s edit:

• This deserves the top spot: There's going to be a new TV show about Barneys New York from the creators of Gossip Girl and The O.C.

• AND ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ sequel is set for May 2026.

• Consider this your sign to plan a road trip. And maybe pack this gorgeous shimmery SPF 30 oil.

• Warm weather skincare tips from a top derm.

• Are you guilty of any of these social etiquette faux pas?

• How to stop being so hard on yourself.

• The biology of female aging: hormones, health, and longevity.

• Also: 10 things I wish women knew about their menstrual cycle.

• Donut skin, pocket blushes, phone cases, peptide lip treatment and peptide lip shape sold for $1 billion to E.l.f. Beauty! $800 million at closing in cash and stock with a potential earnout of $200 million based on Rhode’s performance over the next three years. Hailey’s Rhode to riches.

• The business of Ballerina Farm.

• Ballerina Farm and Rhode adjacent: why food is everywhere in fashion advertising.

• Our protein panic is making whole milk cool again.

• An interview with Sex and the City’s Candace Bushnell, the voice of many generations.

• Can I separate what I once loved about Sex and the City from what I now project onto it?

• This summer is all about the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy sandal and tube dresses. I just ordered this one (also cute in summer linen) and am thinking a chunky gold necklace or good gold earrings or these bow heels or easy sandals and a raffia bag will be great with it. So easy to dress up or down.

• The Exaggerated Preppy Style of Sirens (who else is watching? I’m into it!).

• Wes Anderson is back in fashion with a Oliver Peoples sunglasses collaboration.

• Olsen-ifying your summer wardrobe.

• Designers share their most-worn.

• I got the girls the cutest matching denim skirts and tops from Sézane. And for me? A cherry-red cardigan and a perfect raffia bag for summer.

• My uniform this week? This midi skirt and vest. And this Left on Friday swimsuit all weekend.

• Trying to be off your phone less? Check out “appstinence,” a movement created by a 24yo founder encouraging Gen Z and others to get off social media and become less attached to their smartphones. Their 5D method: decrease, deactivate, delete, downgrade, & depart.

• Inside the world of extreme-privacy consultants, who, for the right fee, will make you and your personal information very hard to find. How to disappear.

• Strava announced a grant program, awarding 50 moms $2,000 each to help cover childcare, travel, lodging and support to train for and participate in races this year. Because the biggest barrier between mothers and the starting line? Lack of childcare. Love that!

• Two cool things in healthcare worth note:

  • WellTheory: a new healthtech company specializing in autoimmune diseases.

  • Midi Health: Midi Health announced AgeWell, a women’s longevity program which will layer bloodwork, genetic testing, DEXA scans, and full-body MRIs onto routine mammograms and Pap smears, enabling personalized prevention across heart, hormonal, brain, and muscle health, plus weight management and cancer prevention. This feels like a nice and streamlined option in a world where finding a primary doctor to help handle all this isn’t as easy as one would think.

• Tinder is focused on creating low-pressure ways for people to meet on the app, like a “double dating” feature, to win over Gen Zers.

• Ambition is evolving: only 6% of Gen Z workers want to be the boss. How are you feeling about your own ambition these days?

• Is chewing gum bad for you?

• Can we talk about the art at the new Tiffany & Co. flagship in Milan, Italy?

• Saved: Milton Avery.

• 36 of the most influential female artists throughout history.

• A few product notes:

  • I think I finally found a non-toxic glass cleaner that doesn’t smell like vinegar. Also love their multi-purpose and floor cleaner.

  • There’s a hydrating lip oil with SPF 40 and the colors are gorgeous: Tuplipscreen.

  • goop launched a Daily Detox Foaming Cleanser which I’m giving a go.

  • MUTHA launched a lightweight, “melted” version of their award-winning Body Butter and it’s sooo good: Body Butter Melt.

• Love this list of “summer desserts to make when you want compliments.”

• Cooking my way through this viral cookbook! On deck: the little gem salad with garlicky white bean spread, smoked trout niçoise salad, grated tomato linguine and chicken milanese. Mmmmm

And to close it out, five gentle reminders I love to come back to:

1. You don’t have to earn your rest. You’re allowed to be tired and worthy. No productivity report required.

2. Routines don’t have to be rigid. Let your life breathe.

3. Some things just take time. Healing. Clarity. Blooming. Don’t rush the magic.

4. The undone things can wait. The laundry, the inbox, the call you haven’t returned, they’re not going anywhere. But that moment? It’s now or never.

5. Take inventory of what feels good. Then do more of that.

That’s it, that’s what I’ve got! If you enjoyed this, would you be kind enough to give it a little heart? Thank you for reading! See you back here on Tuesday for something…new!
