There’s a certain hour in the desert when the light softens, the road stretches endlessly forward, and everything unnecessary falls away. Dusk in the Mojave doesn’t ask for attention; it demands presence. That liminal space, equal parts grit and grace, is where Virtual Nobodies live. For Jeremiah Gray and Xavier Valdez, both born and raised in Southern California, the coastal desert isn’t a metaphor; it’s home. And it has become the spiritual and sonic backbone of their music

In a media landscape that keeps rewriting its own rules, Emily Blair did not just keep up. She got ahead of it. What began as a chance introduction to a reporter while she was still in high school turned into a full-scale career built across red carpets, newsrooms, creator studios, and global press campaigns. From balancing college finals with Oscars coverage to launching her own agency at the edge of a worldwide shutdown, Blair built a modern publicity model rooted in editor

In Los Angeles, wellness is more than a trend; it’s a responsibility. And few embody that ethos as authentically as Brooke Burke. The celebrated television host, wellness entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cancer survivor has officially been named a year-round U.S. Ambassador for the Children’s Oncology Support Fund (COSF), lending both her voice and her heart to one of the most critical missions in pediatric healthcare today. Founded by film producer and philanthropist Thomas

Spring break has a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you’re still bundling up and living in neutral layers, and the next you’re staring down a calendar full of beach days, poolside plans, and sunshine-filled getaways. And if you’re anything like me, that countdown instantly triggers the swimsuit search, you know, the one where you want to feel confident, supported, stylish, and comfortable all at the same time. No small ask. This year, I was determined to find the suit. N

When Beth Nicole Hynes set out to write Where’s Winnie?, she wasn’t aiming to document a moment from her life word for word. Instead, she drew from the emotional truth of an experience many families know well: the fear and uncertainty that comes with separation, and the quiet hope that love still connects us even when we can’t see one another. Loosely inspired by Hynes’ own experience with a rescue dog, Where’s Winnie? follows a curious pup who becomes separated from her huma

Hosted by Selma Blair, the morning brought together editors and tastemakers for a first look at the Selma Blair x Benny’s Eyewear collection, a collaboration rooted in intention, craftsmanship, and purpose. Over a family-style breakfast, gues

What inspired you to create Skincare Junkie, and how does your background as a dermatologist influence the way you approach skin health and education? Skincare Junkie was born directly from my exam room. I kept seeing patients who were doing “everything right” — using popular clean products, following trends — yet breaking out, inflamed, or sensitized. As a dermatologist, I saw a major gap between what was marketed as skin-friendly and what actually respected the skin barrier

Photo Credits: Al Haboob) Los Angeles has long been more than a sports city, it’s a cultural engine. The way LA blends sport, entertainment, fashion, lifestyle, and fan engagement has quietly rewritten the global playbook for how modern sports are designed and consumed. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the spectacle around it. The storytelling, the fashion, the celebrity ecosystem, the hospitality, the content; LA’s influence is now being felt thousands of miles away

As founder of Boulevard Hospitality Group , Braidi operates from a place of discipline, cultural respect, and deep responsibility to the neighborhoods he serves. Nowhere is that more evident than at Yamashiro Hollywood , one of Los Angele

When Kaylyn and Matthew Noonan co-founded Richwife in Newport Beach, they were not setting out to build a traditional lifestyle brand. They were responding to a shift that had quietly taken place in their own lives, one that changed the way they saw success, fulfillment, and what it truly means to live richly. That shift arrived with the birth of their daughter. “Everything changed,” says Kaylyn. “How we measured success, how we spent our time, even how we defined enough. We

Some cars change history. Others become history. The Bugatti F.K.P. Hommage belongs to both. Created as a tribute to Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Karl Piëch and the legendary Veyron, this extraordinary one-off hypercar celebrates the vision that redefined what a modern automobile could be. When the Veyron debuted, it did not simply push boundaries, it erased them, proving that extreme performance and uncompromising luxury could coexist in a single machine. The F.K.P. Hommage revisits

PRODUCT NAME: Moroccan oil Dry Shampoo – Light Tones DESCRIPTION: Dry shampoo remains a staple, but 2026 is all abo

The start of a new year often inspires transformation. What does “New Year, New You” mean to you personally and professionally? To me, “New Year, New You” isn’t about reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about alignment. I’ve learned that the more I listen to my body and simplify my life, the clearer my purpose becomes. Personally, it’s a moment to reflect on what truly supports my body, mind, and spirit and to let go of what no longer serves me. Professionally, it’s a recom

Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images Hollywood has always used the Oscars as a mirror. Some years, it reflects nostalgia. Other years, rebellion. In 2026, the Academy Awards nominations reveal something more complex and more exciting: a film industry in the middle of transformation, where spectacle and intimacy, global voices and auteur vision, coexist with unprecedented confidence. This year’s nominations feel less like a list and more like a statement. The Academy is no longe

Inside Hästens and The Sleep Spa In a city that understands luxury, true indulgence often reveals itself in quieter, more personal ways. At The Sleep Spa, the pursuit of rest is treated with the same reverence usually reserved for couture, fine watches, or bespoke automobiles. At the center of this philosophy is Hästens , a brand that has spent more than 170 years perfecting the art of sleep. This is the closest thing to sleeping on a cloud. I went to the Sleep Spa in West Ho
