Gemini season is in full swing and this month is overflowing with socially exciting and intellectually stimulating energy thanks to a planetary pileup in chatty Gemini, including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon. While May may have offered us two of the luckiest days of the year, June provides nonstop fun and frivolity. The month begins with clever Mercury entering Gemini on June 3rd, where it will stay for a brief two weeks. At home, Mercury loves being in quick-witted Gemini. This is a transit known for helping us to communicate and think with clarity. While Gemini is usually ..read more

I’d been having some ghost problems before a recent trip to Savannah (namely, a handful of unsolicited supernatural experiences, but that’s another story for another time). When I arrived in what is regarded as the most haunted city in the U.S. to sleep in an estate-turned-hotel originally built in 1888, I was apprehensive. The property in question? Hotel Bardo—a Southern Gothic terracotta mansion across the street from Forsyth Park. Its imposing brick turrets spiral upward, soaring above surrounding palm trees and Spanish moss-draped oaks. It’s impressive. The building was constructed at th ..read more

A DJ and producer with a penchant for dance music, Kitty Ca$h has spent most of her career spinning other artists’ music. This month, though, she officially released her first EP, Handle With Care—and now, she's on tour to share the tracks she's been working on for a year. Reaching career milestones that were once mere goals, Ca$h is playing at some of her favorite venues (Public Records in Brooklyn is a staple, after all) and collaborating with artists like Rico Nasty and Kilo Kish. Below, the DJ—who's previously been tapped by artists including Rihanna, Thundercat, A$AP Rocky, and Migos—te ..read more

The space where Dame Helen Mirren’s acting career began also happens to be the same space where she was introduced to makeup: the theater. In 1965, Mirren played the role of Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra at the National Youth Theater in London. Since then, Mirren has settled into an illustrious career—she’s the only actor to have won the Triple Crown of Acting in the US (Oscars, Emmy, and Tony awards) and the UK (BAFTA Film, BAFTA Television, and Laurence Olivier awards. At the same time, the actress, and L’Oréal Paris ambassador, has also grown more comfortable and confident within the ..read more

When Lauren Withrow and Cameron Lee Phan create images together, the story they’re telling stretches back more than a decade. Photographers, best friends, and collaborators, the pair met in their freshman year at the University of North Texas and have been muses to one another ever since. “We've grown up together in this world,” says Withrow. “Cameron's somebody I trust wholeheartedly with my vision, and I always feel like I can get my words across best to him.” In the early years of their friendship, they would take road trips together, photographing each other in vast, open landscapes and ..read more

Growing up in the early 2000s, I remember a feminist backlash against Botox: “Why are we injecting ourselves with neurotoxins to pander to the beauty standards of the patriarchy?” As a queer woman, attracting men isn’t a priority, but I am just as vain as the next gal, hetero or otherwise. In 2024, we now have a pervasive “feminism is about women doing whatever the fuck we want” ethos that echoes the neutered punk-rock tone of a sassy fridge magnet. (“It’s wine o’clock somewhere.”) On the verge of 30, I’m just now committing to a skincare routine while 10-year-olds are clearing out the retin ..read more

After tiring from the limited scope of modeling, working for the camera with limited creative license, Lane Hitt found himself itching for a project that would allow him to express himself. Lane met colleague John VanBeber at a Ford Models industry party and quickly became roommates, and soon after the pair met Zachary Mirabelli at the gym, also signed to Ford Models. The three of them concurred on one thing: they were more creative than their work would allow, and they were looking to utilize their talent and connections to make something big. “The whole brand really came together in the sa ..read more

The name Hermès is synonymous with luxury and, generally, a rather cost-prohibitive version of it. Smaller accessories start in the multi-hundreds, while Kelly and Birkin styles can range from $10,000 to many, many times that. The brand and its most well-known handbag styles, in particular, famously retain value better than almost anything else on the resale market (there’s a reason they call these investment pieces). For those not content to ogle from afar, we’d like to highlight the label's canvas offering. Selecting this sturdy, classic fabrication dramatically slashes the price point (es ..read more

Being the rebel that she is as she bucks against societal expectations, most notably her disinterest in courting season, it would be all too fitting for Eloise Bridgerton to enter the tropes of the Lower East Side’s Dimes Square. Like many who frequent the microneighborhood, Eloise would fit in seamlessly with the non-conforming crowd. Not to mention, as many Dimes Square regulars come from wealthy families, having attended private schools and summered in the Hamptons, yet cosplay as struggling artists and skateboarders, Eloise could reject her familial ties with ease. She is independent, ha ..read more

Nicky Hilton Rothschild knows what she likes. In a world obsessed with eras and rebrands, she’s stayed remarkably consistent throughout her years in the spotlight. (A genetic superpower? It might be!) At the Cannes Film Festival this year, she and designer Rebecca Vallance paid tribute to a few of her all-time style signatures: shades of pale blue, sparkles, bows, and classic femininity. (Just look back at Hilton Rothschild's 2010 Cannes looks and you'll see how clear the throughlines are—though the glow-up is equally apparent.) She and Vallance—who are close friends and travel mates—had two ..read more
