It’s snowing in New York City, where I’m currently writing, and I’m already dreaming of a Nancy Meyers summer. Because if there’s anything getting me through winter, it’s mental replays of Diane Keaton’s shingled Hamptons house in Something’s Gotta Give (2003) – and the small miracle that the Nancy Meyers–style pinstriped chair I pined over last summer, once an eye-watering $1,350, is now only $239.99.
Maybe this sudden off-season urge for salty New England air happened organically. Or maybe it was planted by TikTok. (A classic 2020-something chicken-or-the-egg; we may never know.) Either way, those swivel chairs that went viral during the warmer months – thanks in part to tastemakers like Kenzie Elizabeth, affectionately dubbed Gen Z’s Martha Stewart – are back, sitting pretty all over my very après feed. Perfect timing. I needed the rescue.
