✨ My first cover story for @ellecanada and it’s a stunner! ✨
During peak Toronto summer, I chatted with @cocorocha about the return of Project Runway Canada (premiering on Crave this fall), and why this moment feels so crucial for celebrating homegrown talent. We also waded into the bittersweet side of nostalgia, and how the persistent desire to revisit the aughts can be a double edged sword.
Special thanks to my queen and fellow Project Runway judge @thejeannebeker for weighing in on Coco’s enduring influence, and to EIC @joannafox for this iconic assignment!

There is SO much happening in today’s Substack newsletter: Anna Wintour’s final chapter as Vogue’s EIC, my dive into magical reference libraries (including a video of the most unhinged 2000s artifact I’ve ever seen at @library.180), and my conversations with Grace Coddington and R.J. Cutler, the director behind The September Issue. The through line? An elegy to the glory days of glossy magazines.

I’ve been in love with Kate Spade ever since I wore her gorgeously elegant first fragrance to high school and it transported me to a world of NYC glamoooour. So it was a DREAM to interview its co-founder @elyce_arons about the story behind the brand, and how she built it with her best friend. Their bags became some of the most emblematic of the ‘90s, and they shared a bond that only a gal SO lucky to find a BFF who understands you inside and out would understand.
For anyone who came of age in the ‘90s and 2000s, or has dreams of starting your own fashion line, you’ll want to read Elyce’s new book, We Might Just Make It After All. Meanwhile, subscribe to read our interview at capsule98.substack.com!

@capsule98 is finally on Substack!!! And... if you can believe it, I am still finding MORE time capsules that I made, stashed away, and then proceeded to completely forget about!?!?
A quick refresh for those who might be casual likers of my daily nostalgia pulls: In 2017, I unearthed a hilariously earnest time capsule I made at 13 in 1998, started posting its contents on Instagram, and Capsule 98 went viral - culminating in a Good Morning America segment where Kate Hudson roasted my tween music taste. Capsule 98 then became a podcast, an online mag, and a clothing collection, until the pandemic happened and I lost my creative mojo. But now we’re back! And here’s a bit of a teaser, from my first newsletter:
My life is basically a Matryoshka doll of time capsules, and I’ll be unpacking them all here. There’s the surreal experience of moving back to NYC at 40. There’s the past year I spent living among my teenage ghosts. And then there are the actual time capsules I keep finding: a wildly intense scrapbook of the year 2000, a Warhol-ified box of Y2K beauty treasures (you’ll get it when you see it), and more.
Beyond my own stories, you can expect a full-spectrum nostalgia trip: interviews with the icons and creators behind the pop culture of the ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s, and beyond; shopping finds; cultural deep dives; and highly specific roundups of whatever’s taking up the most real estate in my brain. I’ll also be exploring things I couldn’t help but wonder about—like why so many of my current dating experiences play out like lost Sex and the City episodes. Plus: irreverent randomness, Spotify playlists, and the occasional deep dive into a forgotten artifact.
I can’t get back on this ride together. Meanwhile, scroll for the unofficial manifesto, and sign up for weekly doses of nostalgia at capsule98.substack.com.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
