Clothing that bears the name of a city near or far has become a closet staple for many consumers in recent years, evolving from impulse purchases to mainstream fashion.

Victoria and Richard bought the Yankee in 2001, not long after losing their namesake brand in bankruptcy proceedings. The couple needed studio space (they eventually started another company in 2004), but, apparently, Manhattan was largely out of reach on their budget. And so they looked to the "fringes" of the island, as MacKenzie-Childs put it in an interview last year.

Travel remains the brand's compass, Delafontaine explains, and this season, she imagined a Longchamp muse "gliding from spring into summer, seduced by the rhythm of the waves and the warmth of the sun on her skin." The surfboard captures that spirit of escape.

Julie's eyeing this limited-run cookbook by Nickey Kehoe-with proceeds benefiting the LA Food Bank and NY Common Pantry. This just in: a first glimpse of Bode's new Tokyo outpost. And in Paris, the onetime private office of Karl Lagerfeld is now available for stays. And Margaret Howell is in residence at The Newt in Somerset, UK; info here. We did not expect this Ikea find to make us cry this week, but here we are. Angelenos, you're invited to tea at Plain English to celebrate their newest color collection. Really love the earthy tones of the new Nordic Knots x Studio Mellone rug collection."

Fisher marked the first time Moscone Center hosted something enormous like this; I went on the second night of a two-night takeover, December 20. Operationally, it ran surprisingly smoothly for a first-time venue. Crowd-wise: a lot of phones, a lot of jerseys, a lot of people filming drops they will absolutely never watch again. It felt like a first "rave" moment for a lot of folks since it was an 18+ event.

That kind of pocket change can buy you a newspaper. And not just any newspaper, but a world-class paper with a wall full of Pulitzers (I remember emerging from the elevator and marveling at it as a summer intern) and decades of experience holding power to account. Alternatively, $250 million can buy half a superyacht. A yacht is a very big boat.

Having been at InsideHook for the past seven years, I know that you guys are super into Outerknown, the Kelly Slater-founded clothing company that specializes in laid-back basics that are equally at home on a beach or out to dinner. Or just...at home, I guess. So I feel obligated to alert you to the very, very good sale they're currently hosting, on everything from their best-selling Blanket Shirt to their must-have Nomad Shorts, as well as $28 hoodies (?!?!) and a whole lot more.

For the traveler who finds romance in a curved wall, chases good lighting, and believes a space should quietly seduce, a good design-led vacation rental is the destination as much as the location around it. These are homes chosen for how they look, feel, and linger in our memory-where architecture, interiors, and setting shape the experience of travel itself. Across the sun-washed corners of Italy, Spain, Portugal, and beyond, today's most compelling rentals are as

Over New Year's Eve, St Barths hosted the largest-ever gathering of 100-metre-plus superyachts ever recorded at a single event - 13 in total - surpassing even Monaco, and had hundreds of vessels lining the island's iconic harbors. Jeff Bezos' $500 million Koru, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum's 100.75 metre Feadship named Moonrise, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin's Lürssen flagship were parked in the vicinity, with US tech billionaires contributing greatly to the unprecedented concentration of megayachts in the Caribbean's waters.

As Sierra shared in her video, an analog bag is simply a tote filled with your favorite tactile activities - such as crosswords, novels, journals, or knitting tools - to keep you from reaching for your phone. When I began curating mine, I thought about activities I liked and went from there. Since I primarily work from my apartment, my goal was to create an analog bag that would help me decompress at home after a long day on my computer and phone.

My forearms are throbbing, my feet are cramping and my eyes burn from the salty sting of the Atlantic Ocean. And yet I'm oddly euphoric, high on the rush of flying above the water, propelled by the wind. Around me, wings launch 10, even 20 feet in the air, like fireworks lighting up the sky. My wing zips around beneath them, my board barely hovering two feet above the sea - nowhere near as high as I'd like to be, but there's still time.

Millennials have a reputation for decorating exclusively in gray, white, and farmhouse chic - but one millennial, u/Mewpasaurus, was not buying it. After moving into a mountain home and starting a DIY design journey, they wondered whether that aesthetic actually reflects how their generation lives. So they asked fellow millennials to share photos of their real homes. From colorful maximalism to cozy, lived-in spaces, the responses proved there is no single millennial interior design style:

Seven years of development allowed Openspace Architecture and landscape designer Paul Sangha Creative to thread a 10,000-square-foot single-story home through mature forest without sacrificing the canopy that defines the site's character - a constraint that ultimately generated the building's gently curving plan and its sequence of connected spaces opening to Saanich Inlet views. The design draws from mid-century West Coast Modernism's timber traditions while incorporating Japanese structural principles that extend beyond aesthetic reference.
