City Editor Molly’s favorites

Rooted in connection: The Tree of Love
As someone who believes in the power of lifting others up, when I was told there was a tree covered in colorful + kind notes, I had to learn more. I loved chatting with Dr. Juliana Hauser about where she got her inspiration.

Get ready for Railbird with these vintage pros’ picks
I’m a festival girlie, so getting outfit inspo from our local vintage shops + curators was a no-brainer. I’m already looking forward to next year.

I quicky learned that behind his international success working with artists like Jack Harlow and Drake, there’s a humble Lexingtonian named Finis White, aka KY Engineerin’.
