Ditch The Tie. Five Looks For The Wedding Weekend.
If your summer calendar looks like a rom-com montage of weddings, you're not alone—and neither is your navy blue suit, which deserves early retirement. The fix? Ditch the tie and reclaim your dignity (and circulation). Going tieless isn’t just a fashion choice—it’s a full-blown lifestyle philosophy of looking cool without sweating through a collar. It's about breezy confidence, smart-casual swagger, and showing up like you actually enjoy love and open bars.
Halfway Through The Year. This Is The Pivot Point.
Somehow, it's already June—which feels illegal, honestly. That fresh-start energy from January? Probably buried under laundry, emails, and half-finished to-do lists. But this is your friendly, no-pressure reminder to pause, peek at where you are, and ask: “Am I actually living the life I said I wanted?” No shame, just a little mid-year vibe check to help you recalibrate before December sneaks up again wearing a Santa hat.
Brian Wilson Always Believed Music Was Love.
Brian Wilson, legendary Beach Boys cofounder, has died at 82, his family announced Wednesday.

Wilson answered in bursts—sometimes just a “Yep” or a “No”—while wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt and radiating an unfiltered honesty that was oddly endearing. It wasn’t smooth, but it was unmistakably Brian: brilliant, bizarre, and utterly himself.
