The back windows of Tourists, a renovated 46-room motor lodge that opened in North Adams, Mass., in 2018, overlook 80 acres of Berkshires forest land. Now, a foot trail winds through those woods, connecting the hotel to two neighboring houses in the town’s Blackinton Historic District, a former mill community. Both accommodations — one sleeps up to 11, the other six — were restored for Tourists Homes, a new offshoot that allows larger groups to book individual houses. “As a joke we call them the mullet houses — business in the front, party in the back — because [we preserved the] 1860s fronts but we gave the backs all the benefits of contemporary design,” says Tourists co-founder Ben Svenson. Similar to the company’s original property, both houses embody a retro, chalet-inspired aesthetic (each has a wood-burning stove) and are furnished with bespoke pieces made by local carpenters (the larger house has an oversize round Douglas fir table for family-style dining) and vintage gems curated by the interior designer Julie Pearson (the smaller house comes with an original Rhodes Mark 1 piano). The back decks of both homes offer scenic views of Mount Williams and Mount Prospect. All houseguests get access to the hotel’s pool and community events, including a free concert series featuring visiting musicians who play in exchange for room nights. The two Tourists homes are available to book now (there’s a three-night minimum for the small house, a four-night minimum for the larger), along with a third house, a former five-room B&B, which the Tourists team plans to renovate in the winter.
Before Shannon Maldonado founded Yowie, her Philadelphia-based design shop and boutique hotel, she was a student at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology in the early aughts collecting colorful, functional LeSportsac nylon totes and handbags, drawn to their “sporty but chic quality.” Now Maldonado has collaborated with LeSportsac on a collection of nine new bags. The first three — a cherry red oversize hobo, an acid yellow cross-body tote and a spherical black bucket bag — are available today. The bags represent new shapes for the 50-year-old brand, all made with its signature ripstop fabric. A trained apparel designer, Maldonado drew inspiration from other sources that influenced her decades ago — Marc by Marc Jacobs accessories, ’80s- and ’90s-era photos of off-duty models, and vintage Prada and Miu Miu editorials — for a line that captures both a sense of nostalgia and a decidedly modern energy.

Early in the COVID pandemic and at a time when travel cancellations were on the rise, Google said it wanted to “help Hotel ads partners minimize risk while driving future bookings in a responsible manner.” To do that, it expanded an advertising option known as Commissions (per stay) that let hotel partners only pay a commission on their ads after the guest stay had occurred.Now, nearly four years later and as international travel is approaching pre-pandemic levels, according to UN Tourism, Google has announced that on October 31, 2024 it will end Commissions (per stay) and another low-risk ad product, Commissions (per conversion), which launched in 2018.

I never really take my eye makeup off, and I don’t wear foundation or concealer. I just splash water on my face in the morning and I use Environ Retinol Serum 1. If I’m a good girl I use Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid and then I put more eye makeup on my already made-up eyes. I use any black eyeliner on my waterline. It’s always a pencil — you can smudge it way easier and I like my makeup looking a little bit effortless. Right now I’m using one from Givenchy, their Khôl Couture Waterproof pencil. I get eyelash extensions done every two or three weeks, so I don’t really use mascara. I used to wake up an hour before school started just to do my makeup. Now that I get eyelash extensions, I feel ready as soon as I wake up; I’ll never stop getting them. Sometimes I use a cheek tint from Jillian Dempsey that makes me look sun-kissed. I put it on my nose. Sometimes I’ll use Chanel Le Gel Sourcils on my brows. I naturally have pretty thin brows but I’ve thinned them out more recently because I saw a picture of my mom in the ’90s and she looked so good with thin brows. The only lipstick I use is by Kiko Milano — Powder Power Lipstick in shade 15. I put it on my nose, lips and cheeks. Sometimes I do my makeup before I get into the shower — it’s such a good hack. Your skin gets dewy. I know your T-zone is meant to look matte but I like it looking a little sweaty sometimes. My makeup artist uses a Chanel Baume Essentiel highlighter stick that’s so amazing. It’s completely clear.

Customary travel wisdom says spending a few hours in a city’s airport doesn’t “count” as experiencing the place itself. That’s because American airports today are often viewed as transitory hubs removed from space and time—like a mall or suburban highway strip—visit one and you could be anywhere in the US.
