after school weekend edition
Welcome back to After School Weekend Edition, a weekly trend debrief for paid subscribers.💫
I’ve spent the last week in Vero Beach, where most of the people are twice my age, which has been a nice change of pace from Williamsburg, where I perpetually feel old.
I did see an 11-year-old girl strutting around in a pink Lululemon crossbody, and when she saw me see her — and her crossbody — she gave me a knowing smile. (I very much wanted to ask for her thoughts on Stanley and Sephora, but society looks down upon strangers who accost children on the street, and rightly so.)
Today, we’re talking about:
Super Bowl (
CetaphilCetafail included…)Upcycled NFL designer Kristin Juszczyk is verifiably famous — but can she scale?
Despite complicated feelings about her dad, the internet loves “Miss Westie”
Chanel really wants Gen Z to like it
Quiet luxury backlash
The “zeitgeist-defining” series everyone’s binging
Lorde’s it-girl water bottle
Watch chokers
Naked lashes
Red wine milk
Plus everything else that happened this week in youth culture and what I’m buying/reading/listening to. I was going to keep this one on the shorter side, what with the Super Bowl and all…but I’m sorry to report I failed. So pour yourself a red wine milk and enjoy.
Before we jump in, my favorite TikTok of the week:

A few things I’ll be watching for at the Super Bowl…
Many people have speculated that Justin Bieber will be joining Usher — who is widely credited with having discovered Justin when he was a tween making music on YouTube — during the half-time performance, a theory made stronger by photos of Bieber landing in Vegas yesterday. Unless you know me in real life, you probably do not know I’m a big Justin Bieber fan. It’s not something I talk about often for obvious reasons, but it’s true, and if he comes out on stage tonight my reaction will be a lot like Taylor Swift when the Chiefs score. (Just be glad you’re not watching the Super Bowl with me!)
