Where Pattern Meets Interior
OUTFIT DETAILS: Emporio Sirenuse Dress, Valentino Bag, Ancient Greek Sandals, Sherman Field Necklaces One of my favorite things about the villa we stayed in in Mallorca is that I don’t think a single surface went unpatterned. There was print on the bench in the dressing room, on the canopy over the bed, in the linens,…
Sun-Drenched Shades of Yellow
OUTFIT DETAILS: Emporio Sirenuse Dress, Gabriela Hearst Sandals, Magda Butrym Scarf, Cordera Bag, Saint Laurent Sunglasses (similar here) There’s something about yellow that feels perfectly at home in summer.

A Tomato, Nectarine & Halloumi Salad for When It’s Too Hot to Cook
This is the kind of salad I make on repeat in the summer, when the tomatoes are at their peak and nectarines are so juicy you have to eat them over the sink. The farmers market in Malibu is a different level from what I’ve experienced before—piles of heirloom tomatoes in every shade of red…

Jerrod Carmichael’s ‘Let Us In’ Raises Questions About His Next Move
Jerrod Carmichael put three words on Instagram on Monday: “Let us in.” A hashtag carrying his own name came with it. That was the full extent of the post. His public moves have consistently carried weight. Dropping this phrase without any explanation attached is, for him, a calculated act. Carmichael has long built his career…
LE SSERAFIM’s Playful Korean Caption About Bangs Pulls 154,000 Likes
LE SSERAFIM kicked off July 7 with a simple question for their Instagram followers. The caption, written in Korean, asked: “Do you believe in bangs?” Paired with two hashtags – one in Japanese, one in English – the post was as minimal as they get. It still earned more than 154,000 likes. For a text-only…
Travis Scott Drops A Two-Line Life Philosophy That Earns Nearly 700,000 Likes
Travis Scott dropped two lines on Instagram this week. They could have passed for a verse left off one of his albums. “Life is a odyssey / Life a movie,” the caption read, with no album announcement and no event hook. Nearly 700,000 likes for a two-line caption with zero promotional context is a genuinely…
Disabled Journalist Is A Favorite Of Messi, Many More World Cup Stars
Manu Gutiérrez has landed interviews with some of the biggest figures at this year’s World Cup including Lionel Messi (twice), Lionel Scaloni, Jude Bellingham, Cuti Romero, James Rodríguez and more.
