I hope yours is a good one. Until it starts, something for you to read: \-- Here, ICYMI, we did [a fun shopping post all about CAFTANS you might want](https://www.gofugyourself.com/fug-nation-loves-caftans-06-2017?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \-- The Hairpin theorizes that [The 1830s Are Back Like A Statement Sleeve](https://thehairpin.com/the-1830s-are-back-like-a-statement-sleeve-78378265f736?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- This is quite a read, at Buzzfeed. Let me give you just the lede: "When a financier dropped dead in Britain shortly after exposing a vast Russian crime, police said it was not suspicious. But with his inquest now underway, BuzzFeed News has uncovered explosive evidence of a suspected Kremlin assassination plot – and a secret assignation in Paris on the eve of his death – that the British authorities have sidelined." [It's long, but I recommend taking time to read the whole thing.](https://www.buzzfeed.com/heidiblake/poison-in-the-system?utm%5Fterm=.uvkB82EwV&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#.vegg3LYVn) \-- At Atlas Obscura: [A 257-Year-Old Coloring Book Was Discovered in St. Louis](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/old-coloring-book-discovered-botanical-garden-flowers?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- At Lainey, this is an interesting and detailed story about [Rebel Wilson and a defamation case she recently won.](https://www.laineygossip.com/Rebel-Wilson-wins-defamation-trial-against-Bauer-Media/47251?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's more interesting than that sounds. \-- Also at Lainey, [this is a VERY amusing conspiracy theory about Lorde.](https://www.laineygossip.com/lorde-might-be-onion-ring-expert/47247?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- This story, at the *New York Times*, is sad and fascinating, a time-machine of an obituary, and it reads like a book: [Death of a Downtown Icon: Remembering Benjamin Cho.](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/11/fashion/death-of-a-downtown-icon-benjamin-cho.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Heather and I went to a Benjamin Cho show during one of our first fashion weeks and it was profoundly memorable -- it was the only time I've ever swigged Bud Light in the same apartment as Chloe Sevigny. That he met such a sad end is a real tragedy. \-- *Town & Country* brings us [A Guide to Jane Austen's English Countryside](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/travel-guide/g9559712/jane-austen-england-travel-guide/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- At Smithsonian, a little hot old school gossip, and proof that politics has NEVER been polite:[ Rachel Jackson, the Scandalous Divorcee Who Almost Became First Lady.](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/rachel-jackson-was-original-monica-lewinsky-180963713/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- Modern Farmer brings us a [List of 10 Extremely Good Goat Beards.](https://modernfarmer.com/2017/06/list-10-extremely-good-goat-beards/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- Our friends at Revelist [tried Stitch Fix's new fashion box for plus-size women](https://www.revelist.com/body-positive/stitch-fix-plus-size-review/8080?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Do you use Stitch Fix? I don't, because I DO NOT need anymore things to buy, but I know Heather does and generally likes it.) \-- At Pajiba, [a valentine to Brendan Fraser.](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/fading-favourite-lets-talk-about-brendan-fraser.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- Celebitchy brings you [a Cumberbatch Update, if you need one, which you might](https://www.celebitchy.com/539307/benedict%5Fcumberbatchs%5Fjaguar%5Fcontract%5Fis%5Fover%5Fhes%5Fshilling%5Ffor%5Fmercedes%5Fnow/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \-- The New Potato has [DIY summer face masks, which I am really into](https://www.thenewpotato.com/2017/06/11/best-turmeric-face-mask-recipes/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \-- This pop-up book -- [full of paper models of Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous buildings ](https://www.curbed.com/2017/6/14/15799114/frank-lloyd-wright-house-buildings-paper-models?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)\-- is amazing. \[Curbed\] \-- The Stripe brings us [a VERY easy cocktail that I wish I were drinking RIGHT NOW](https://thestripe.com/2017/06/cocktail-hour-french-martini/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \-- At Into the Gloss: [The best body scrubs.](https://intothegloss.com/2017/06/best-body-scrubs-2017/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Personally, I love the Bliss Peppermint one but it's so expensive that I can't really justify it.) \-- Celine Dion is launching a line of accessories! [WILL ONE BE BASED ON THE HEART OF THE OCEAN](https://themuse.jezebel.com/my-queen-celine-dion-is-launching-an-accessories-line-1796128397?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? No, because right now it's just handbags, but check out this detail: "Each bag will feature the sound wave of Dion’s voice on the interior." INDEED. \[Jezebel\] \--I LOVED this post at Girl of a Certain Age, where [everyone is telling Kim their favorite memories of *Sassy.*](https://girlofacertainage.com/2017/06/14/were-you-a-sassy-reader/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
