VINTAGE LINKS AND ZARA FINDS TO MAKE YOU THE HOTTEST IN YOUR FRIEND GROUP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most essential part of being cool is maintaining relationships with people who are cooler than you. And by “cooler,” I mean younger.One woman’s “shoulder-padded, my-mom-went-out-on-dates-and-left-me-with-a-nanny lame jacket” is another woman’s, “Wow, this is an interesting texture to layer over jeans and a cami.”When figuring out what to wear this fall, you have to set your own PTSD aside. Because, just like all your mom’s ex-boyfriends, trends repeat.And a lot of the things, that hurt us ar
MEN TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY MOUTH (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A part of me has always fantasized about being Alexander Hamilton when Eliza moved upstate. Or like some finance bro in a pinstriped suit who keeps his family in Connecticut.Think of all I could accomplish! Think of all the Substacks I could post.I’d stay in the city and work.

His real name is Ben) in years. We dated when I was nineteen and the kind of trainwreck a lot of us are at nineteen. A girl who lied about her grandmother dying in order to end a relationship. A girl who pretended not to be h
What Goes On In Mallorca (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend Chelsea swore that Mallorca was a mystical island, and that everyone who comes to stay experiences some sort of major life shift.I’ve been to this island three times in my life.Once when I was nineteen, with my German ex-boyfriend, Aleks (I used to change his name in my writing, but who cares anymore), and his college friend, Oli. It was the summer I was studying abroad in Paris, and I remember being wildly in love, feeling insecure in my too-tight bikini, and getting fingered under a
