BEAUTY: GIVE FRAME NAILS A TRY
Move over French tips—frame nails are the new gallery-worthy mani. With delicate gold or silver outlines that turn your fingertips into mini works of art, this trend proves that sometimes the frame really does steal the show.
FASHION: PARIS FASHION WEEK IS SETTING TRENDS
Paris Fashion Week might be over, but the street style moments are still living rent-free in our heads. The vibe? Effortless French ease meets fall-ready polish. From capri pants (either Hepburn-slim or relaxed and cool) to animal-print shoes that count as neutrals, these looks are equal parts wearable and chic. We also spotted playful print-mixing, skirts layered over pants, and sporty touches that make comfort feel couture.
BUSINESS: SOFIA RICHIE LAUNCHED HER FASHION LINE
Sofia Richie Grainge just entered her next fashion era with the launch of SRG Atelier, a 50-piece collection that nails her signature “quietly luxurious” aesthetic—think suede skirts, minimalist coats, and effortlessly elegant silhouettes. Designed for women who wear many hats (just like her), the line blends timeless sophistication with a touch of youthful edge—because chic doesn’t have to mean boring.
If you know, you know. This song has been trendy on social media lately but it’s truly one of those classics that’s good for any occasion.
IN COLLABORATION WITH
Consider this your reminder that he deserves a fall upgrade, too.
Fair Harbor—the brand that turned recycled plastic bottles into swim trunks—has officially mastered cold-weather comfort. Some of our favorite pieces:
🪶 The Dunewood Flannel — Buttery soft and made from 21 recycled bottles. Perfect for coffee runs, leaf-peeping, or “accidentally” borrowing for yourself.
☁️ The Saltaire Hoodie — That perfectly broken-in feel you’ll want to steal the moment it comes out of the wash. Made with organic cotton and recycled materials for that lived-in, coastal vibe.
👖 The Driftwood Stretch Denim Pant — Looks like denim, feels like comfort. These soft, sustainably made jeans are basically his new uniform.

ON GROWTH: “Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job” — JIM ROHN
Personal development should be your top priority—because who you become ultimately determines how successful you’ll be in any job. When you invest in your mindset, habits, and skills, everything else naturally levels up.
PHILLY, PA
EAT: If you want something stylish yet approachable, with great people-watching + good food in a lively but comfortable venue, go to Parc! It’s situated in Rittenhouse Square & offers a Paris-style bistro ambiance. Try brunch on the patio if weather allows but for dinner, consider sitting where you can look out onto the square. For a memorable experience, definitely dine at Jean‑Georges. It’s located on the 59th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel & offers a high-end dining experience with stunning panoramic city views. It’s also got a sophisticated tasting menu rooted in world-class cuisine.
STAY: Kimpton Hotel Palomar is a must if you like a semi-modern look, but to still feel homey. It’s a stylish boutique hotel with a nice location in the heart of Center City. It’s trendy, comfortable, + the perfect base if you want to be central for dining, shopping and walking around. Another option is The Rittenhouse Hotel, which is a more upscale, refined option near the leafy Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. If your budget allows, go with this option so it’ll be an elegant setting. You can also ask for a room with a view over Rittenhouse Square.
DO: Philadelphia’s Magic Garden is an immersive mosaic art environment put together by artist Isaiah Zagar. It features colorful + hand-crafted tile/mirror work across indoor and outdoor spaces. If whimsical and photo-friendly places are your jam, this is a nice way to break from the more traditional museum tour since it’s quirky and artistic. You can also visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art if you like to see places featured in a movie/show. It’s a major landmark of the city with its grand steps that were actually made famous by the famous film, Rocky. Pro tip: plan to visit for 2–3 hours if you want to explore inside.
