EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. I’m headed across the pond this week — and naturally, I’ve waited until the 11th hour to start thinking about what I should bring. Here’s what distracted me instead: 

• J.Crew just dropped even cooler versions of its most iconic sweater (yes, the one you saw a million times this fall), and obviously I had to grab mine before they sell out.

• Per Kendall Jenner, the most quietly chic way to wear a scarf isn’t as a skirt or headscarf — it’s as a belt for this timeless coat. Perfect for my trip.

• These are the 2026 fashion trends that have the French Girl Seal of Approval™ — and their denim pick is making me question je ne sais quoi entirely.

• Few words inspire more terror than “season to taste.” But these tips from Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud make it way less intimidating. Consider my spoon retired, Mr. Boulud.

• If you thought the only way to eat Halloumi was cubed or sliced, this trick will change everything. I’m putting it on every sad salad from now until forever.
