PepTalkHer founder Meggie Palmer is jumping into the Female Founder World group chat for a live Q&A call. Meggie’s the expert in negotiating to get paid what you’re worth. She also recently acquired a business, so we’ll be asking her all about how to buy and sell small businesses.

EREWHON IN NYC: You’ve probably seen headlines that the celebrity hotspot grocer is opening their first NYC location. Well, it’s kind of true: An Erewhon juice bar will open within Kith Ivy/Padel 609, an exclusive racquet club with a hefty membership fee of $36,000.

TIKTOK Shop Live: Beauty brand P.Louise just made US$2.7m (£2m) in 14 hours on TikTok Shop Live, a new record in the UK and Europe. P.Louise says its average order value increased from $20 to $80 as it focused on promoting its holiday collection, including gift sets and bundles as well as advent calendars.

ULTA: Ulta is letting teens and tweens celebrate birthday parties in store with skincare demos, makeup tutorials and $100 gift bags.

MEDIA: Chloe Malle is stepping up as Head of Editorial Content at Vogue US, taking over day-to-day editorial duties as Anna Wintour steps down.

PINTEREST FALL TRENDS: Pinterest’s fall trend report for 2025 dropped, and it’s… tasty? Pickles, garlic, and mango are all reportedly trending for fall.

One more thing.
