Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

In 2006, I started taking Xanax and continued, more rather than less, for the next 17 years. The drug was first prescribed to me after I experienced a panic attack. I had thought that I was dying. My children were two and six years old. We were at home—my husband had gone for the day and the babysitter was late. I started sweating and had this urge to run, to get outside. I didn’t know what was wrong, but my heart felt weird and I didn’t want to die in front of my kids. So I stuffed them in a stroller and went down to the street—West 106th in Manhattan—hoping to intercept the sitter. There she was in the lobby. She took the children. I didn’t explain. On the street, the noises were loud, the light galactic. I think it was summer. I was walking but had no idea where I was going. Fear crawled over me like ants.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

There is a certain type of person for whom Gracie Abrams has it all: a friendship with Taylor Swift, a sensible cardigan, and a reported dalliance with Paul Mescal. The 24-year-old musician was last month spotted sharing small plates with the Irish man at east London’s Brat restaurant. He at one point grazed her cheek with the back of his hand, and so people went online and started posting things like: “Me when I realize I’m not an indie singer songwriter so Paul Mescal won’t give me a chance,” in reference to his erstwhile relationship with Phoebe Bridgers, and, “If I had a nickel for every time Paul Mescal dated an American singer who opened for Taylor Swift, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice,” also in reference to his relationship with Bridgers.

On a summer Wednesday in Sag Harbor, partygoers escaped the mid-week blues to join Alison Loehnis of Net-a-Porter and Mr Porter for an al fresco summer dinner at Parrish Art Museum. Rather than ask the "why" behind the fete, Lohenis would muse: Why not? The Southhampton gathering celebrated the summer season and the brand's fashion family.

If we had to choose the most talked-about beauty subject this year, we’d have to give it to manicures. From glazed donuts to champagne chrome, it has felt like a new nail trend has come along every five minutes or so.

This look is all about emulating the shade—and shine—of the pomegranate seed, and it’s perfect for the summer months.

I don’t know about you, but come summertime, the last thing I want to do on a sweltering hot day is fuss over a complicated outfit; I want to wear as little clothing as possible. Accessories, then, become an instant wardrobe hack—hero pieces for tricking others into thinking you’ve put in effort. Jewelry, in particular, has been my daily essential these past few months—specifically, the summer pearl necklace, which has become my surprising go-to.

"Notes on 'Camp'" is a documentary series that follows Sweet Beef Theatre, a fringe theatre collective from London, UK. Their show "Crying Shame" explores the loneliness and vulnerability of queer individuals. In their words - “It’s a cabaret. A wellness journey. A 10 step programme. All about loneliness... I know, how embarrassing.” The series provides insight into the performers' meditative world as they transform into their characters. The title references Susan Sontag's essay "Notes on ‘Camp’" from 1964.

The spring 2025 menswear shows wrapped up a month ago and one of the biggest trends from our male street stylers? Brooches!. While we can thank the 2024 award season and stars like Barry Keoghan and Cillian Murphy for popularizing the trend into the mainstream, we must remember where the brooch resurgence truly began: Pharrell Williams’s first show for Louis Vuitton. On the runway, several looks—from casual denim jackets to dressy tuxedos—were embroidered with pieces of bling.

Mariah Kennedy Cuomo and Tellef Lundevall’s romance all started with a college visit. The two first crossed paths in 2012 after Tellef developed a close friendship with two of Mariah’s cousins, Kate Kennedy and Amanda Cole, while they were studying together at Brown University. “The three of them bonded over their shared characteristics,” Mariah explains. “They’re all funny, kind, thoughtful, creative, and game.” Mariah and Tellef first met at her cousin’s apartment on Angell Street in Providence while she was visiting the college as a prospective student during her final year at Deerfield Academy. “That visit cemented that Brown was the right choice for me,” Mariah remembers. “And I also left very interested in Tellef.”
