EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. I’m more than ready for summer — but the countdown to my favorite season feels especially slow this year. Maybe that’s why I’m extra impatient with everything these days, from the (deeply unnecessary) return of “diaper shorts,” to the rise of “denim makeup” (yes, that means matching your eyeshadow to your jeans), to the inexplicable popularity of boat shoes — on people nowhere near water. (I’ll admit, a few pairs are almost cute.) The good news? In T-minus one week, I’ll get my personality back and my Vitamin D levels will return to normal. Plus, I’ll get to scroll through my favorite food influencer’s page for recipe inspo and plan a summer getaway. Will it be as extravagant as Lauren Sánchez’s Paris bachelorette (where one crop top alone cost $4,000)? Absolutely not. But I’ll do anything to get away from the diaper shorts.
