EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. The list of qualities I’m looking for in a partner is pretty straightforward: kind, thoughtful, funny, will buy me 11 pounds of French butter as a push present. You know, the usual. Some other extremely specific things I’m looking for right now?

• A pair of statement-making tights à la Taylor Swift (and her whirlwind fall fashion tour). I’m convinced they’re the easiest way to add some fun to my rotation of all-black outfits.

• A rom-com-inspired hair color — one of the season’s biggest trends (tell me the copper-rose hue isn’t stunning).

• A shockingly chic groutfit. I’ve always sworn off the controversial look, but these six outfit ideas are so polished and understated, I’m changing my stance entirely.

• A pair of pants like the ones my mom forced me to wear to elementary school. Mom, I’m sorry I threw tantrums because they “hurt my feet.” You’re a visionary.

• This new Kraft Mac & Cheese flavor, which, I’ll admit, sounded diabolical at first. But perhaps it could be the sweet and savory, standing-over-the-sink dinner of my dreams? 

PS: There’s something specific you should look out for, starting next Friday: Our new newsletter, Weekend Non-Negotiables. As the name suggests, it’s a bite-sized breakdown of everything you should watch, see, and do over the weekend.
