But first: a really good early Labor Day deal

here's the plan

You worked hard enough this week. Let us plan your weekend…

  1. 1.

    The 2026 US Open main draw begins on Sunday — so settle in with a DIY honey deuce cocktail for two weeks of celeb sightings, tenniscore inspo, Carlos Alcaraz’s beautifully floppy locks (they’re baaack), and, oh, right, actual matches. Will Serena and Venus Williams take home their third women’s doubles title at the tournament? Will Naomi Osaka reveal the Labubu that never was? Will this finally be Jessica Pegula’s year? One thing’s certain: It’s going to be a smash.

  2. 2.

    Welcome to Sartorial No Man’s Land, aka the time of year when it’s still too hot for your fall knits, you can’t face another linen set, and you’ve suddenly forgotten how to get dressed. The only solution? Copy these transitional outfit formulas immediately.

  3. 3.

    Trader Joe’s shoppers have one complaint about the store’s most anticipated new dessert of the year: One is never enough. Best to get in line now.

  4. 4.

    Call off your 15th New Girl rewatch. Your favorite Gen Z friend group has returned to FX, in all its endearingly dysfunctional glory. Season 2 of Adults picks back up at Samir’s (Malik Elassal) improbably large childhood home in Queens, where Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele) are still crashing as they tackle the hallmarks of the “roast-chicken era” of adulthood. Think: green card marriages, egg freezing, secret side friends, and a messy love triangle between Issa, Paul Baker (exclusively referred to by his full name), and Anton. Oh, and joining the 20-somethings for the inevitably chaotic ride? Guest stars like Zosia Mamet, Jake Shane, and Raven-Symoné. Buckle up.

  5. 5.

    Think you’ve maxed out your kitchen storage? You’ve probably overlooked the most criminally underrated spot. We’re mad we didn’t know about it sooner.

Happy (almost) weekend. Between the US Open heating up (go, Coco, go) and the last few beach days of the season, August really is — in the words of Taylor Swift — sipping away like a bottle of wine. Here’s how I’m squeezing out every last drop:
