Anna Wintour will step down as Vogue editor-in-chief
Per Variety, Wintour told staffers on Thursday the publication will begin the search for a new head of editorial content. In 2021, Condé implemented a new organizational structure wherein international markets each have a head of editorial content that reports to a global editorial director; the new U.S. role will align with similar positions in the U.K., China, France, Italy, etc. 'Over the last four years Anna's role has exponentially expanded with a global remit across all brands, in addition to the day-to-day editing of American Vogue,' a spokesperson told NBC News. Stepping away from the EIC role 'is expected to give Wintour the ability to devote more time to the magazine's global output, in addition to leading all Condé Nast titles except The New Yorker,' Variety reports.
Wintour began her career at Condé as Vogue's first creative director in 1983. She moved on to become the editor-in-chief of British Vogue in 1985. She ultimately succeeded Grace Mirabella as EIC of U.S. Vogue in 1988, and became more or less synonymous with the brand. She's often been parodied for her signature bob haircut and sunglasses, frequently seen sitting in the front row of fashion shows and serving as the chair of the annual Met Gala. Wintour, and the publication of the magazine's most important installment of the year, were the subject of the 2009 documentary The September Issue.

Mary-Kate Olsen Lives the $690 Flip-Flop Fantasy This Summer
It was a couple of months ago that water cooler conversation at Vogue first turned to a pair of Olsen-made flip-flops. Not due to any particularly novel design (though they do feature grosgrain straps and a lugged sole), nor the famous feet they've been spotted on (Jennifer Lawrence, Hailey Bieber, Dakota Johnson, Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner), but because they were priced at $690. Arguably outrageous for an indistinct thong sandal you could pick up from Muji for a fistful of loose change–everything with a luxury label costs too much. And $690 is basically entry-level for The Row. The leather City flip-flops are $890; the suede Hugh sliders are $1,090; while the Hook-and-Loop sandal retails for $1,070. But, ah: it's the lifestyle you're really buying into here. 'Like all flip-flops, they are pool attire, good for walking a stretch of scorching sand,' wrote The New York Times at the peak of the discourse. 'And yet the Row's take…is in a class of its own–best suited, let's imagine, for a stroll down the starboard side of a yacht.' Or, in Mary-Kate Olsen's case, a grocery run in the Hamptons: sweatpants, sun-bleached tourist tee, dad cap, and brown paper bag clutched between clavicle and Amex. Much like the flip-flops themselves, it's the ultimate in high-low dressing–which is, perhaps, the point.

8 Ways to Enjoy S'mores Without a Campfire
Bring the taste of summer inside with these delicious s'mores-inspired desserts. Melissa Clark's oven s'mores. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Published July 1, 2025 Updated July 1, 2025 There's something so nostalgic (and messy!) about the combination of toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, graham crackers. But you don't need a campfire to satisfy that s'mores craving. Below are eight desserts that capture their essence, no outdoor flames necessary. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Erin Jeanne McDowell. These ooey-gooey blondies deliver on the promise of s'mores tenfold. Erin Jeanne McDowell replaces some of the flour in the chocolate-studded base with graham cracker crumbs. Before the blondies are done baking, they're topped with a layer of mini marshmallows and more chocolate — which is lightly toasted and melted in the best way. Recipe: S'mores Blondies Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. For a showstopping dessert that will impress your guests, look no further than this stunning tart from Melissa Clark. The foundation is a buttery, homemade graham cracker crust filled with chocolate ganache that's firm enough to slice but evokes the usual melted chocolate. On top, sits a swirly mountain of meringue that's torched until golden brown. Recipe: S'mores Tart Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Styling by Barrett Washburne. This Ali Slagle recipe is a brilliant mash-up of two marshmallow-forward desserts: Rice Krispies treats and s'mores. In her genius creation, browned butter accentuates the toastiness of broiled marshmallows, which are tossed with graham cracker cereal and chocolate chips. Recipe: S'mores Crispy Treats Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi 'I made this cake as a fun vacation project and it got rave reviews!!' one reader wrote. If you're looking for an ambitious baking project — and like receiving praise — Yossy Arefi's gorgeous cake is for you. Toasted marshmallow buttercream and graham cracker crumbles are sandwiched between layers of moist, chocolate sour cream cake. It's more than worth the effort. Recipe: S'mores Layer Cake Bryan Gardner for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. What if, instead of graham crackers, you used actual bread? Ali Slagle did, and it's delicious. While you could use any sliced bread, she recommends cinnamon swirl to get that toasty graham cracker flavor. Tip: Sprinkling salt on top keeps the sandwich from being cloyingly sweet. Recipe: Grilled S'mores Sandwiches Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi Eric Kim's fudgy s'mores bars taste best chilled, straight out of the refrigerator, but they're also great microwaved for 10 seconds until the centers turn gooey. Recipe: S'mores Brownies Craig Lee for The New York Times This travel-friendly pie from Allison Kave, adapted by Christine Muhlke, features chocolate pudding nestled in a graham cracker crust. It's all topped with a blanket of homemade marshmallow browned to perfection. Recipe: S'mores Pie Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Sometimes, simplest is best. This easy broiler version from Melissa Clark can be ready in about 10 minutes, start to finish. For those who like to buck tradition, feel free to swap out different cookies for the graham crackers like gingersnaps, shortbread, chocolate wafer cookies, or a salty crackers like Ritz and Saltines. Recipe: Oven S'mores

'Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure Of Foggy Mountain' Blu-Ray Review - An Outrageously Funny Journey
John Goodman narrates the raucously funny adventures of Ben, Martin, and John, three childhood friends turned deadbeat coworkers who fend off hairless bears, conniving park rangers (Meg Stalter of Hacks and X Mayo of The Blackening), and a hypocritical cult leader (Bowen Yang of Saturday Night Live) to track down a priceless treasure, only to discover that finding the treasure is the easiest part of their journey. Oh, and Conan O'Brien (Conan) plays Ben's dad in it. This buddy comedy is directed by Paul Briganti (Saturday Night Live) and produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad) and Jimmy Miller (Bad Teacher). Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall — aka the Please Don't Destroy guys — lend their acting chops in addition to writing and executive producing the film. For in-depth thoughts on Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, please see my colleague Larry Fried's review from its original streaming release here. Video Quality Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain comes to Blu-Ray in a 1080p presentation that brings everything to life as desired. The film presents the hues on display in the natural foliage, lighting and clothing with the proper depth and accuracy. This is a film with a natural color palette that is reproduced perfectly with an entrancing radiance. The skin tones look very detailed and natural throughout the ensemble. The highlights are handled skillfully, and the deep blacks do not appear to suffer from any compression artifacts. This is a story filled with shots where you can see an incredible amount of detail. During the journey, there is a constant supply of imagery that provides a nice reference to showcase the depth at play. There are no serious signs of any noise or other such digital nuisances outside of some fleeting banding. This presentation holds up very well. Audio Quality The Blu-Ray disc comes with a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that represents this one without a hiccup. Dialogue comes through crisp and clear without ever being drowned out by the environmental effects or the score. There are a handful of bustling moments that give the track more of an exciting presence, but the hilarious exchanges are the focus. The music is showcased impeccably here with an immersive use of the surround speakers. The sound design is deftly deployed with all of the sounds positioned just right in the mix. The environmental effects create a robust soundscape of straightforward and heightened cinematic flourishes. Activity in the low end knows when to spring to life for a few key moments. This is an ideal release that brings the movie to life in a splendid way. Optional English SDH subtitles provided. Special Features Audio Commentary: Director Paul Briganti and Actors/Co-Writers Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall provide a lively and informative commentary track in which they discuss some secrets of the production, parts that they had to cut down, friends who are in the movie in small roles, the evolution of certain moments, and more. Deleted Scenes: There are nearly four minutes of unused material provided here. Gag Reel: A three-minute collection of flubbed lines, malfunctioning props, laughing fits, and more. Final Thoughts Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is an outrageously funny feature film that is stacked wall-to-wall with clever and absurd jokes. There are tons of funny character actors populating the ensemble, but the story keeps the focus on the core trio, and it works all the better for it. The beginning of the third act begins to feel a bit tedious, yet the overall experience is so much fun. This one feels destined for a cult following in the future. Shout! Studios has given this film a Blu-Ray with a terrific A/V presentation and a great selection of features. Highly Recommended Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is currently available to purchase on Blu-Ray. Note: Images presented in this review are not reflective of the image quality of the Blu-Ray. Disclaimer: Shout! Studios has supplied a copy of this disc free of charge for review purposes. All opinions in this review are the honest reactions of the author.
