This resin-ates.

Best of luck to everyone trying to score Kacey Musgraves and/or Olivia Rodrigo seats this week. May the dark gods of T*cketmaster be with you (or at least: not against you).

  • Spending a rainy afternoon in Louis Armstrong’s den.
     

  • …and a sunny afternoon eating a Chicago dog outside of Bobbi’s Italian Beef. It comes with, like, six tater tots, which is the perfect number of tater tots.
     

  • Finding both delight and exhaustion in The Devil Wears Prada 2 promotion cycle and handing it to TheRealReal Substack for doing one of the most compelling jobs?!

  • Asserting that there’s no better gift for someone in an assisted-living environment than an Aura frame that loved ones can update from afar. $35 off with the code ATHINGORTWO until May 13! #sponsor
     

  • Feeling like Madewell needs to get in on this recycled-denim planter situation. Also: There's one that’s 100% ocean plastic.

  • Cheering on Loria Stern as she transitions her signature aesthetic from cookies to something more enduring.
     

  • Throwing out a Vreeland-esque: Why don’t you…teach your kid about ballroom by taking them to see Jellicle Ball on Broadway?

  • Experiencing the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with being gifted a fancy beauty product, only to like it so much you have to keep buying it.
     

  • Searching for the right way to describe this sweet little garment that is more than a tee but not quite a short-sleeve sweatshirt.
     

  • Becoming increasingly reliant on Terrence O’Connor’s cultural digests—a cheat code for staying in the know without so much damn scrolling.

  • May: a great month to make some plans to leave the house.

  • Kyoto Sesame Truffle: a limited small-batch drop inspired by Japan. Soft ganache centers built around blond, roasted, and black sesame, rolled in toasted seeds for real texture and a subtle savory edge. First run is small and won’t be repeated. Pre-order now.
