BUSINESS: THE NEWEST FLAVOR IN TOWN
Olipop and Poppi are both kicking off the new year by dropping a shirley temple-inspired flavor. They’re definitely tapping into the nostalgic mocktail trend as healthier + low-sugar soda alternatives continue to boom. These prebiotic soda rivals are turning a classic flavor into a contested must try in the better-for-you beverage aisle.
FASHION: THE NEW LUXURY BAG
Luxury’s new “it” bag isn’t covered in logos — it’s indie, understated, and feels like a smart find. As big-name bags get pricier and more predictable, shoppers are gravitating toward smaller brands like Polène, Liffner, Parker Thatch, and Savette that offer beautiful craftsmanship at saner price points. These bags are tasteful, not trend-chasing — an if-you-know-you-know kind of status that feels personal and way more interesting than carrying what everyone else already has.
REAL ESTATE: BILLIONAIRES’ ROW IS SHAKING
Manhattan’s Carnegie House is one of the few middle-class co-ops left on Billionaires’ Row, but it just lost a major affordability lifeline. New York court upheld a 450% ground-rent increase, which has threatened monthly costs to shoot up from $5,000 to ~$13,000 for many residents and potentially strip owners of their equity if the co-op can’t meet new lease terms.

Everything the team is loving right now from the Reformation Sale
ON SELF ACCEPTANCE: Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. – Roy T. Bennett
As long as you accept yourself, it doesn’t matter who externally does or doesn’t.
