The artist grew up in Tottenville. Her announced Staten Island Museum exhibition puts community inside a discussion too often left to tech companies.

A fall outfit should still work when one layer comes off. Start there before buying another coat.

The best September wardrobe upgrade might involve a repaired jacket, a familiar scarf, and a very clear sense of yourself.
