FASHION: CELINE’S PHANTOM BAG IS POPULAR, AGAIN
Old Céline girls, your moment: the Phantom is surging again after Michael Rider’s Spring ’26 rework—A$AP Rocky’s already carrying it, and the fashion crowd’s on the hunt ahead of the Sept. 19 drop. Searches spiked ~576% post-runway (Rebag saw +1,000%), as oversized-bag energy.

WELLNESS: EATING SEASONALLY
Autumn is your invitation to slow down + savor nature’s rhythm. Eating what’s truly in season is not only more nutritious and flavorful, but also easier on your wallet and the planet. Embracing cozy, abundant fall produce like squash, apples, and pumpkins helps your body align with the season, while reconnecting you with sustainable, local food rhythms.

BEAUTY: PEEL OFF LIP LINERS THAT STAY ALL DAY
Meet the peel-off lip liner—the bizarrely satisfying trick for crisp, stay-put lips. Paint it on like a liquid mask, let it dry, then peel to reveal a stain-like outline that survives lattes, lunches, and long chats (top with gloss or lipstick if you want). Think K-beauty meets lip blushing minus the commitment—Sacheu, Wonderskin, Revolution, and Smooche are the buzzy picks.

IN COLLABORATION WITH

Oversized rounds or a sharp cat-eye? We say… both.

QUAY just dropped two new frames, and they’re serving vintage polish with modern edge. Uptown is an oversized round with soft lines and luxe shine—like jewelry for your face—with comfy adjustable nose pads. Set In Stone is a sleek, modern cat-eye with sharp lines, beveled detail, and sturdy 5-barrel hinges.

Choose your mood: soft and glossy or crisp and confident.

Set in the swamps of 1920s Mississippi, this follows Ada and Matilda—two teenage girls bound by a secret—through a world of bootleggers and brutal fathers. Think Where the Crawdads Sing vibes with higher stakes: unlikely friendship, long-buried truths, and a fight for redemption that could cost them everything. (Publishers Weekly gave it a starred shout—so yes, it’s that good.)

ON FINDING YOUR PASSIONS: “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.” — Howard Thurman

Follow what genuinely energizes you—because that’s where your best, most useful work happens. When you’re lit up from the inside, you create the value the world actually needs.
