As a fashion editor, I'm often inspired by colleagues' outfits, like Sandy Liang bows and Alaïa flats.

One standout piece, Jenny Bird's Tome hoop earrings, caught my attention.

Worn by Bazaar fashion editors, these bubbly, lightweight hoops in silver and gold have become a favorite.

They're also popular among celebrities and have a strong word-of-mouth following in the fashion world.

Jenny Bird, the designer, notes their unique design has made them a mainstay in essential earring collections.

Amsale, a notable bridal label, has opened a new flagship in SoHo, New York, transitioning from its original Madison Avenue spot.

Founded by the late Amsale Aberra, the brand is celebrated for its clean, architectural designs and is now led by her husband, daughter, and a creative team.

Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, Amsale is experiencing growth, especially in its non-bridal lines, and aims to project $30 million in sales.

The brand is focusing on expanding its global presence and enhancing in-store experiences, including the "Amsale x You" program for personalized gown creation.

Jonathan Bennett, known from "Mean Girls," and his husband, Jaymes Vaughan, are set to make history as the first gay couple to host Times Square's New Year's Eve in 2023.

Married since March 2022, the couple represents a significant step in LGBTQ+ visibility in the entertainment industry.

They have previously been featured on the cover of The Knot as the first gay couple and have contributed to popularizing inclusive designs with KAY Jewelers, exemplifying their commitment to representation and paving the way for future generations.
