When you find what looks, feels, and fits like your best swimsuit, wearing anything else by the pool feels like a risk. At least, that was my take before diving into 2023's biggest swimwear trends. Summer's latest swimsuits have convinced me to branch out from the one-piece and crochet dress I've worn on every beach trip for the past few years. The most adventurous new shapes still have an approachable element, with adjustable ties and strategically-placed cutouts; the colors, patterns, and hints of shimmer look like vacation, but feel versatile enough to mix with daytime clothes at home.

I felt an urge to shop Miu Miu’s ballet flats the moment they appeared on the runway. I waited nearly a year after their release, absorbing all the ways other women were styling them, to make sure they’d be more than a one-time wear, before finally ordering mine. I’ve never been so delighted by a purchase. People often use the word silky to describe satin, and this was the first shoe I thought earned the qualifier.

Way back in 1994, beauty goliath MAC Cosmetics had an idea to team up with breakout names to release a yearly capsule collection of lipsticks and glosses. The campaign, called Viva Glam, would fund and raise awareness for HIV/AIDS programs. Twenty-seven years later, the Viva Glam campaign is still one of the most profound social campaigns in beauty, with this year's collection being a tribute to the talented artist Keith Haring.

It took a decade of dating, but there was never any doubt that college sweethearts Jamie Bernfield and Seth Birkan would end up married—the only question was where. “Travel is a huge part of our relationship,” says Jamie. “Any excuse we have to get away, we do.” The bride, the director of marketing of Everafter and The Westside (retail concepts from the founders of Intermix), and the groom, a writer’s assistant on Showtime’s Ray Donovan, had visited Iceland, France, Portugal, Spain, and Seth’s childhood home of Johannesburg, South Africa in their many years together.

A$AP Ferg is taking merch to a new level. Forget logo hoodies and dad hats; the rapper is upgrading to duvet covers and bath towels with his first home goods collection. Though seemingly offbeat, the project is literally close to home for Ferg—he’ll debut the products in Harlem, his hometown, with a pop-up shop fashioned after his own apartment. Ferg (born Darold Ferguson) teamed up with Fancy.com, a community-based e-commerce site, to design pieces like bedding, bath towels, robes, throw pillows and mugs, emblazoned with the rapper’s Traplord brand logo.
