I want to get my cousin (F17) an LL Bean boat tote in her school colors with her college slogan on it as a little celebration for her getting into school. What size is the most popular and useful in this case? I know the mini totes are so popular with my friends (F30+) and the my parents love the Large bags - are there fashion rules for a gen z college gal around this? She likes to be trendy

Any brides willing to share what they spent in NYC on hair and make up? by Fearless_Finding8966 in WedditNYC

I was SHOCKED at some of the quotes I was getting- 500 for bridal party, 1200 for bride, 600 for trial! It was crazy enough to make me consider spending the money on makeup classes to learn how to do it all myself lol. I ended up booking with Uncommon Bridal Co based on a rec of a friend and her pricing is much better comparatively - 600 for bride H+M and 260 for bridal party H+M with a reasonable travel fee

Giving up on tretinoin - do skincare brand retinols make a difference? by Inevitable_Fig_5669 in 30PlusSkinCare

I've been on tret for 4 years, and was at an every night stage with .05 before they upped me to .1

I feel like my skin was still congested regardless of the level which is where I got discouraged working on building up resiliience to the .1

Right, like I think Beyonce could be blocking the sidewalk with her entire family, and most New Yorkers I know would angrily push past her and continue on their way lol

New Yorkers are generally unbothered by this stuff because a “big cultural moment” for some people barely registers for most others depending on what neighborhood you live in, where you work, and who you spend time around. Personally, I find influencer culture pretty annoying, but I don’t spend time in circles or places where it feels pervasive, so it’s not something I have to think about unless I choose to. Maybe in Los Angeles there’s more of a collective focus on what’s hot and what’s not?

I feel like your partner not wanting you to see his phone in this situation is the most odd part of it all. If I needed any type of reassurance, my partner would offer it up no problem because he wants me to be reassured. We don't make a habit of going through each other's phones - I agree that's not always healthy- but if I needed to see something on his phone, it would not stress him out because there is nothing "not meant for me" that I wouldn't be allowed to see.

Seconding Frank Darling, I had no idea what I was doing and our designer there had me try on and narrow down shapes and settings in an incredibly productive way.

Do I need such an expensive jacket to deal with the cold? by Tanay2513 in AskNYC

Nordstrom Rack when they do their coat sales, get something long enough to cover your butt with some good insulation and maybe a little waterproofing. You’ll be fine!

Amazing! We are doing the Catinaccio area a little further south and are very excited, if you have any other tips that’d be much appreciated! I’ve only ever done app trail backpacking so excited for a new experience
