We are rejuvenated-ish from our holiday breaks and are ready to fill you in on winter-wedding dress codes, the pegboard discourse, sexy high school, and, ope!, more Midwest updates.

Our discussion about wedding dress codes brings us back to dress-codes-by-event.html"> Kayleen Schaefer’s story for The Cut “The Bride and Groom Formally Request That You Dress Up.” And for actual winter beach dressing, see this 2017 Vogue cover and Harrison Ford’s shorts with sweaters. 

We loved a-brand-name-becomes-generic.html"> this 2019 NYT story about how brand names become generic.   

Re: pegboards, Julia Child’s is obv the ultimate, but for mini ones, look to Quark and Little Anana. 

If you’re also disillusioned by movie trailers, read this Vox story by Alissa Wilkinson. (Also, we endorse She Said the movie…but She Said the book more.)

Next time you're in the Midwest, get kringle from O&H Danish Bakery or a *kringle single* from Racine Danish Kringles.
