Time to get real about your

That’s because for two weeks before (and several weeks
after) going to print my body is on high-alert for any and all
details that could have been overlooked, like some hyper-
vigilant Darwinian reflex for editors.
Don’t sweat the small stuff “they” say. But as an editor,
an obsession with details is implied by the title. A missed
space or poor kerning can create a gap as vast as the Grand
Canyon on an otherwise immaculate page. A misplaced
comma can derail your inner monologue like a stick in your
spokes. And who are they, anyway? I doubt "they" would
give this advice to an architect, especially the one designing
their condo.
It’s often these small details that elevate ordinary to
extraordinary, like coloured stitching on your suit cuffs or a
hand written note from that little boutique on your birthday.
That’s why we’ve dedicated this issue to all those little things
you should sweat.
Whether that's creating a dish worthy of the AGO (p. 31,
"Master the #ArtOfPlating") or building a perfectly curated
closet (p. 29, "Style Enlightenment"), it's the attention to
detail that is ultimately essential for the success of these
endeavours.
All that being said, we love to launch awesome things. So
we've gone full force, hitting send, going to print, throwing
caution and semi-colons to the wind.
But if you do happen to find a comma out of place there
is no need for you to lose sleep over it. I've already done that
for you.
