After a decade of being told by well-intentioned sales staff that I can only find plus sizes online, standing in a thoughtfully designed store and hearing, “We do have your size in stock; I’ll get a room started for you!” felt euphoric. Deciding if I like clothing before I’ve already purchased it is a true luxury for plus-size people. I want to hem and haw with credit cards burning a hole in my pocket in a flatteringly lit dressing room while I ponder if this is what I really want.

I am paying for my returns, and what once felt like swimming in a digital sea of possibilities now feels like a cheap substitute for shopping. Give me curated scentscapes and mood-setting playlists, soda water while I browse, and the ability to compare sizes without having to pay $20 in return fees.

Elsewhere, Rickey Thompson and Emily Ratajkowski found their light, each selfie featuring luminous skin coupled with glossy lips and some seriously aspirational hair). Then, Tracee Ellis Ross worked it out while Helena Christensen celebrated another trip around the sun with an al fresco, city-centered dip. And to celebrate the new season of Emily in Paris, Lily Collins shared a behind-the-scenes snap of how the character really came by those iconic “DIY” bangs (hint: celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell was involved).
