School’s in Session

January may get all the attention, but for us, September is the month that brings a fresh, new start. Kids go back to school (can we get an amen?!), and sweater weather is quickly approaching. It’s time to swap our fruity poolside drinks for a cozy, overpriced coffee (that smells like a candle) as we head into a changing season full of growth and possibilities.

Trying to get your head back in the game after a hazy summer? We’ve rounded up some inspo for you to get lost in (instead of those endless emails you’ve been avoiding).


 

The Met’s Iris B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden is currently featuring LA-based artist Lauren Halsey, whose one-of-a-kind art installation depicts how people have visually expressed themselves in public spaces throughout time.

The structure entitled The Eastside of South-Central Los Angeles Hieroglyph Prototype Architecture highlights symbolism ranging from Egyptian hieroglyphics and 1960s utopian architecture to modern-day visual expressions like tagging. Designed to be an immersive walk-through experience, the sculpture presents an intriguing juxtaposition of ancient (yet modern) art against the sweeping Manhattan skyline and Central Park views.

The installation ends on October 22, 2023, to make its permanent home in Los Angeles.

When we heard the news that Apple TV is making a show about supermodels from the ‘80s, we let out an audible squeal of joy. Featuring the O.G.s — Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell — the docuseries is pulling back the curtain on how these winners of the genetic lottery dominated the elite world of modeling.

Filmed in 4 parts, The Supermodels will highlight how each superstar changed the world of mainstream modeling for the better and how their legacies still live on today. The Supermodels starts streaming on September 20th — we’re already practicing for the catwalk.


 

Multi-tasking instead of single tasking? Ugh! As if!

Does losing your focus have you totally buggin’? Instead of a single subject, your concentration is pulled in a million different directions. You hop from your gym class to emailing clients to posting a poll on Instagram Stories, all within the same 45-minute period. Sounds like you need a Letter From The Editor refresher on how to focus on the big picture.

Our Creative Director Kristi Drago-Price is slipping you her cheat sheet to getting 💩 done! Get your idle hands on our killer time-blocking schedule and sassy roster of batch-tasking ideas to fill it in with that would even make Cher Horowitz proud.


 

Dubbed America’s original seaside resort, the quaint town of Cape May, New Jersey is the perfect escape from the daily grind. Known for its candy-colored architecture, sandy beaches, and vibrant pink sunsets, this magical destination is like a real-life Barbie Land.

Rent a bike and enjoy some historic sight seeing or channel your inner Ken and make your only job beach for the day. If that’s not Kenough, Cape May also offers fabulous dining options like The Ebbitt Room located inside the uber-popular Virginia Hotel.
