The Weekly Edit

the 7-point rule to make getting dressed a breeze, secret emoji codes, glucose-tracking oura rings, ina's substack, summer skin thirst & so much more!

Hi! And happy weekend. Hard to believe the 4th is already next week, isn’t it? This time of year is usually when I take a little phone break and dive fully into uninterpreted family mode - swimsuits, lobster rolls, and all. Thinking I might just do it again this year!

Hope you have a wonderful 4th. The Weekly Edit will be back the following Sunday.

The Weekly Edit:

• Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue. After 37 years, they’re hiring a new head of editorial content (wonder who it will be - any predictions?!). Wintour will continue on overseeing American Vogue as well as eight of the publication’s international editions. She will also continue on as chief content officer of parent company Condé Nast, where she supervises nearly every title at the company, with the exception of the New Yorker. via

• The largest ever auction of Princess Diana’s wardrobe was this week. Held at The Peninsula in Beverly Hills the “Style & Royal Collection” reached record numbers. Her famous floral blue dress? $520,000. Scarlet ski suit? $325,000. British Lung Foundation sweatshirt? $221,000. 1995 Lady Dior lambskin handbag? $325,000.

• Glucose monitors have become somewhat of a status symbol and it’s just heating up. You can now track glucose with your aura ring. But for those that don’t know that it’s a “wellness tool,” it can spark concern.

• SKIMS plans for world domination, including a Roberto Cavalli collab. And in the meantime, Nike delayed the launch for their new brand with Skims, NikeSkims. Not ideal following Nike’s Q4 results. Nike revenue is down 10% and net income is down 44%.

• Glossier’s CEO is stepping down.

• GAP is launching a beauty line.

• The ‘carnivore-ification’ of beauty and wellness. With the high-protein diet, colostrum supplements and tallow skin care, animal-based products are getting a sexy rebrand.

• Anna Sui’s new book, The Nineties x Anna Sui, is an exacting chronicle of the ’90s, featuring cameos from Madonna, Sofia Coppola, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Marc Jacobs, and more. Fun! i-D interviewed Sui to talk about why the ’90s will always be the last great moment.

• Hot tips for anyone who feels like an old person on the internet: here are the secret emoji codes Gen Z is using.

• The white tank top is more popular than ever, growing 27% daily. My personal favorites: Re/DONE, Ref & Target.

• Are you ready for the return of gladiator sandals? The way I LIVED in those Stuart Weitzman’s (IYKYK)!

• Also trending: the boot tuck, fruit water nails, guava and sardines.

• Have you heard of the 5-4-3-2-1 Minimalist Packing Method? If you only pack five tops, four bottoms, and three pairs of shoes, you can style 60 different outfit combinations. SIXTY! Shira Gill shared this in her recent ‘Pack Like a Pro in a Carry-On.’

• Another method/rule of note: the 7-point rule to make getting dressed a breeze.

• Sarah Jessica Parker talks And Just Like That... & having no fashion regrets.

• ELLE’s 70 Best Beauty Gadgets and In-Office Treatments of 2025.

• The new sobriety: loud, bold and stigma-free.

• Cow’s milk vs alt milks: what’s healthier?

• File under very cool things in AI: a platform that enables anyone to create fully-functional, custom software solutions and applications using natural language, without the need for traditional coding. Said vibe coding platform, Base44, was just acquired for $80 million in cash.

• Can AI replace therapists and can ChatGPT be your spiritual guide?

• The once-a-year birthday text friendship. You know the one. At what point do you just…let it expire? The birthday text dilemma.

• And on the contrary, 5 signs you’re in a codependent friendship, according to experts.

• Are you just tired or truly burned out?

• Loved these micro-creativity challenges. I did #2 and enjoyed it.

• Want a better relationship with your teen children? Exercise with them.

• Do you follow Bella Freud? Each week a special guest lies on the couch and explores the connection between fashion and identity. Loved this one with Haim where they talk sisterhood and Phoebe Philo. More: Kate Moss, Graydon Carter, Julianne Moore & Cate Blanchett.

• TOTEME added to their private sale.

• J.Crew’s sale is now an extra 60% off with code EXTRA (cute, cute, cute). I did a little summer haul for the girls (when it was only 50% off but still so good!) - dresses, this one too, swimsuits, etc.

• Westman Atelier is continuing their foray into skincare with the launch of the new Eye Activator Serum. I ordered it right away (avoiding the risk of another sellout like the bronzing drops which I still haven’t gotten my hands on) and I LOVE the formula! Developed by one of Korea’s top skin scientists, it’s designed to smooth fine lines, brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness, and firm. SO GOOD!

• RE: summer skin: I ordered the Soft Service buffing bar which is an incredibly fast and and easy way to exfoliate. Also ordered their Speed Soak Hydrating Gel which is ideal for the person who has to no time to wait for standard body oil and creams to dry (me!). Like a big gulp of water for the skin.

• Sephora is 25% off shampoos and conditioners! RŌZ shampoo & conditioner are my personal favorite.

• Red, blue, linen....check, check anddd check! These new Sézane pieces are perfect for the 4th (and every summer day after). Just add a market bag.

• Looking for something fun to make for the 4th? Ina’s lobster rolls with store-bought cooked lobster meat sound divine.

• Also, Ina Garten launched a Substack!

And to close it out, little joys that hit hard:

1. Remembering the thing you were trying to remember.

2. Starting a show and realizing there are like 6 full seasons.

3. Parallel parking perfectly on the first try.

4. When the song ends right as you pull into the driveway.

5. Wearing something you forgot you loved from last summer and getting compliments.

6. A perfect heirloom tomato and the smell of basil.

If you enjoyed this, would you be kind enough to give it a little heart? Have a nice week!
