This Mother’s Day, fashion consultant and philanthropist Lillian Von Stauffenberg, reminds us that sometimes the only person who really knows how to help heal a broken heart is mom.

Alex Katz paints what he loves most — his wife Ada and their beach life in Maine, done in his signature bright colors and strong lines. Through July, a selection of his graphic portraits and landscapes are on display at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Summer is just around the corner — we can feel it. We’re loading up on songs inspired by the cast of our Summer lookbook: Wolf Fleetwood Ross, Dree Hemingway and Ruby Aldridge (above, from left, in our Gail and Vianna dresses). It’s a bit of musical who’s who: Ruby’s father Alan designed album covers for the Who and the Beatles (John Lennon called him “His Royal Master of Images to Their Majesties The Beatles”). Wolf Fleetwood Ross is Mick Fleetwood’s grandson, so there had to be a Mac moment and, for good measure, a Jimmy Mack. And Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly inspired all of the above. Add Tennis, La Sera and Beach House, who we’re loving right now.
We’ve created a polka dot with extra personality. These bright bursts are actually hedgehogs, hand-painted and scattered to form a charming optical illusion.

And it’s not over — here’s a little mix to keep you in the mood for weekend 2.
It’s Day 1 of the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. We asked Jane Rosenthal — who co-founded TFF in 2002 with Robert DeNiro, her Tribeca Productions partner, and husband Craig Hatkoff — about the spirit of the festival, her motivation and where film-goers really meet after hours.
