Wedding Cargos and Seinfeld Blazers

after school weekend edition

Hi friends! Welcome back to After School ✨weekend edition✨, an extra long and extra opinionated youth culture digest for paid subscribers.

I’m home in Brooklyn after nearly two weeks in the midwest. The NYC to Missouri drive is one of the best, especially when you can take your sweet time and make pit stops for fountain sodas and good night’s sleeps along the way. Brief stays in Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Columbus were all really excellent, but the surprise favorite was Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Harrisburg Beach Club could pass for Saint Tropez if you squint, and it’s just three and a half hours from the city.

It’s a cement beach, which isn’t quite the same as gorgeous white sand, but you can skip the flight cancellations and lost luggage.

Today we’re talking about:

• Cool girls are wearing Jurassic Park shorts

• And bridal cargo pants

• And cowboy boots. Still. (Or again.)

• Malls are back?

• The midwest is chic now??

• Sephora-branded laudromats when???

• A highly anticipated Japanese chain is coming to SoHo

• TJ Maxx’s favorite makeup brand is coming to Williamsburg

  I too, am glossier makeup at tj maxx (hot and full of potential in 2017, not quite where I wanna be in 2022)

Plus, everything I’m buying, reading, and loving.
