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.
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 Adultspicks 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.

Let’s do this: Which Dolly Parton hit reigns supreme?
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:
Treating myself to new earrings. I love how a purposefully mismatched pair, like these crescent moon huggies, makes any outfit 20 times cooler. Plus, if I’m going to be squinting into the sun all weekend, I might as well sparkle.
Reapplying my SPF like my skin depends on it (it does).Thanks to the serum-like feel and moisture-boosting blend of ingredients,this Glow Recipe watermelon sunscreen lives rent-free in my beach bag.
Sinking my teeth into a gothic page-turner that’s (accurately) been called “the lesbian vampire novel we need.” I can confirm, it’s not for the faint of heart…or neck.
Snacking on the brambleberry ice cream that’s still winning me over. I’ve bought the pint a half-dozen times and I’ve never once regretted it.
