Sorry not sorry: It's too hot to write a more compelling, eye-catching, click-baity title.
To all of you out there who've persisted at wearing jeans this past week, putting fashion ahead of function during these oppressive, muggy times: We salute you. Tell us your secret, because we're boiling in the office at The Main.
We're typing this out in swimsuits right after hitting the beach.
How appropriate is it that today marks our summer solstice, when the Earth's at maximum tilt toward the Sun? Though hopefully this weather's going to break, things will cool down, and the fun can start: This edition is jamPACKED with art, dancing, music festivals, a whole bunch of Saint-Jean-Baptiste events, pop-ups, tasting menus, and a couple restaurant openings past and present worth noting.
