Target's new spring and summer arrivals include shift, drop-waist, and fitted styles, and they are all on sale for less than $25. Below, shop the 10 picks that are currently at the top of my wish list. A New Day Knit Ballet Midi Shift Dress, $15 (orig. $25)
Wild Fable Drop-Waist Mini Sundress, $18 (orig. $30)

While I usually plan my outfits each day when packing, I love having a comfortable piece in my arsenal that I can rely on in a pinch. This breathable midi dress can be worn casually with sneakers or dressed up with heels, and the soft and stretchy jersey fabric ensures all-day comfort. One shopper who bought this piece for a trip to Italy said the dress is 'lightweight,' 'packable,' and 'stylish.'
While I love a simple vacation dress that is versatile for any occasion, I also always pack a statement dress meant for a special dinner or night out. This maxi dress, which features an eyelet pattern along the hem, will be a beautiful option. It has an elastic waistband for comfort, and there are even two side pockets for added convenience. One shopper said the dress is 'so flattering,' adding that it is ideal 'for spring and summer.'
When it comes to packing for vacation, I need my outfits to be comfortable. This tank dress, which comes in black and tan and features a bold hem along the neckline, is a versatile option made from a soft, stretchy fabric. I love that I can wear it with both flats or heels for a few different looks, and one shopper said it's 'fitted but not tight,' which I like. Since it's on sale for $15, I'm taking this as a sign to snag both colors for the season.

This Luxury Resort in Wisconsin Has a Private 50-acre Lake, Idyllic Cottages, and the Best Grilled-cheese Sandwich I've Ever Had
Along with six standard guest rooms, the resort features 28 cottages, with two designed by Frank Lloyd Wright protégé John Rattenbury. While there is no spa, guests can book in-room treatments, and some of the cottages feature spa-like amenities, such as soaking tubs, saunas, and steam showers. Dinner is a nightly wine-paired feast of three courses, and breakfast is delivered to the cabins each morning in a custom, locally made wooden crate. Canoe Bay grows most of its vegetables, fruits, and herbs in its three-acre on-site organic garden, and sources meats and fish from local farms whenever possible. The hotel offers complimentary access to canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards on its private lake. I've lived in Wisconsin long enough (26 years) to know that 'up north' typically doesn't equate to glamorous lodging (think rustic cabins hugging the state's many lakes). There is one exception—Canoe Bay, the state's only Relais & Châteaux property and, arguably, one of the best winter lodges in the country. I recently visited the resort for the third time, and while at first, the reprieve from the city was jarring, I soon slipped into the rhythm of bird calls and not phone calls (most cell providers don't work up here, but there's Wi-Fi). Even popping into the reception building to pick up the keys is an acoustic balm thanks to its waterfall feature out front. Canoe Bay's prairie-style homes are a dead ringer for a Frank Lloyd Wright design. Wrapped in honeyed wood, both inside and out, my 1,100-square-foot Treetop house had built-ins everywhere, two stone electric fireplaces, two decks, and a soaking tub I couldn't wait to sink into. Owner Dan Dobrowolski, a former television meteorologist in Chicago, snapped up the 300-acre estate in the early '90s, opening Canoe Bay in 1993. He hired Wright protégé John Rattenbury to design two of the cottages, and Minneapolis-based architect Kelly Davis executed the rest in Wright's style. Each building overlooks the resort's private 50-acre, spring-fed Lake Wahdoon. In its essence, Canoe Bay is a place where one can unplug and dial it down. The Library. Sometimes, a hotel is more about its vibe than the amenities. Travelers who like to keep busy might shriek at the thought of a five-star resort without a packed schedule of activities to keep them occupied from dawn till sunset, but that's precisely the point. Guests can stay as active—or inactive—as they want to. An A-frame building houses an expansive two-story library open 24/7 with books arranged by category—many of them best-selling new titles—and a canopied outdoor patio with lake views. In the three-acre organic garden, cozy benches are tucked among apple trees and beds of herbs, flowers, and vegetables. 'Most guests want to decompress,' says general manager Renee Nyhus, a Colorado native who arrived at Canoe Bay a decade ago. She noted that the resort is a popular destination for girls' weekend getaways, couples wanting to reconnect, and solo creatives like myself seeking quiet time to indulge in their art or craft. Here is my full review of Canoe Bay in northwest Wisconsin. Canoe Bay offers a range of accommodations—from guest rooms and suites with fireplaces and private decks to stand-alone cottages and villas. They range in size from 300 square feet to the 2,000-square-foot Edgewood Villa, designed by Rattenbury with two bedrooms, a Finnish-style sauna, and two baths. For each of my three stays, I booked a stand-alone cottage or villa to get the full experience of being tucked into the woods. Dobrowolski worked with Davis to nail the look of the cottages and villas, a mix of Wright's Prairie and Usonian aesthetics. Rich in woodwork and featuring smart storage, there's a lot of natural light throughout all of them. In Canoe Bay Village, travelers can book cottages with king-size beds, separate living rooms, and screened porches that overlook either Mallard Lake or forested acreage. Bathrooms are stocked with toiletries by Gilchrist + Soames. My Treetop House with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace also featured a two-person deep soaking tub and a steam shower. Mission-style light fixtures, inspired by Wright's designs, are a nice touch that architecture enthusiasts will surely appreciate. Each morning, I'd whip open my villa's front door to find a crate stocked with a carafe of coffee, two muffins, Greek yogurt, and granola, topped with edible flowers. Guests can also add hot dishes, but since I prefer a light breakfast, this was perfect. Lunch is delivered in a basket and can be enjoyed anywhere on-site. I chose the deck overlooking the lake at the Rattenbury-designed 2,000-square-foot Edgewood Villa, a rare look at this design jewel that's usually booked. I've had a lot of grilled-cheese sandwiches in my life, and even published a cheese cookbook, but the one I had at Canoe Bay—stuffed with artisan Wisconsin cheese and paired with tomato soup and a glass of buttery Sonoma-Cutrer chardonnay—was incredible. Canoe Bay's restaurant serves nightly dinner in the Lodge. Each evening, guests are treated to a three-course menu with wine pairings in a dining room with expansive windows overlooking the lake. I'm still swooning over the delicious, warm bread served with maple butter, the pan-seared Norwegian salmon, and the lemon chamomile tart. Both of my dinners at the resort also included a spring salad, culled from the organic garden. Oenophiles may want to book a table in the wine cellar. Early morning on the lake. While there's no pool at Canoe Bay, swimming in Lake Wahdoon during the summer months is a popular activity for guests. Stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes are available at the boathouse and are included in the nightly rate. I don't fish, but Nyhus explained guests often catch panfish and bass here. I've canoed before, but never alone, so an employee accompanied me on the water, which created an enriching experience as I learned more about the area's flora and wildlife. Activities in the resort are laid-back and booked on an individual basis, whether it's a guided tour of the organic garden or a walk-around with the resident birdwatcher. In each cottage, guests will find a pair of binoculars and a copy of "The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America" to help them identify birds. (Here, common sightings are ospreys, warblers, orioles, eagles, green-backed blue herons, and pewees.) It was raining during my scheduled birdwatching tour, but my guide filled me in on what I'd normally see, with enough detail and enthusiasm to rival a nature documentary. (Fun fact: apparently, birds have regional accents, just like people do.) He even pointed out a nest in my cottage's carport I had been too busy to notice. Guests who like to venture outside of Canoe Bay can visit Hillcrest Pottery or explore the Chippewa Moraine segment of the Ice Age Trail for hiking and biking, as well as cross-country skiing in the winter. Local outfitters can also arrange fly fishing for trout. Canoe Bay has no spa, but in-room treatments can be arranged. Last year, the resort added a new fitness center with treadmills, an elliptical trainer, a spin bike, yoga mats, and weights. Aerial view of the garden at the resort. Canoe Bay has two cottages, recommended for guests with limited mobility. Dream Cottage 24 is ADA-compliant with a zero-threshold entry and shower, as well as doorways with handrails. Dream Cottage 8 is acceptable for most, although not fully ADA compliant. Contact the resort in advance of your stay to make further accommodations—from curbside check-in to in-room delivery of meals, books, movies, and other items. The path connecting the Lodge, reception, Inn, and cottages is paved and wide enough for a vehicle, as well as a motorized scooter and wheelchair. The resort's sustainability initiatives are all tied to keeping a small footprint. This includes sourcing food from its organic garden and local farms, as well as maintaining the land for current wildlife populations. When building the cabins and cottages, sustainable materials were used to prevent damage to the forest and avoid releasing pollutants or toxins into the environment. Rainwater harvesting and composting are also practiced. Canoe Bay is located in the town of Chetek along the shores of Lake Chetek (there are six lakes in the area). The nearest city with an airport is Eau Claire (Chippewa Valley Regional Airport), 45 minutes south, serviced by United Airlines through Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Between late January and mid-April, Sun Country Airlines offers a non-stop flight between Fort Myers, Florida, and Eau Claire. Most guests, however, fly to Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport and rent a car for the two-hour drive. Canoe Bay does not provide chauffeured airport shuttles. Exterior of the Rattenbury Cottage. Canoe Bay is not part of any loyalty program. However, the resort has special offers and discounts announced on its website. Nightly rates at Canoe Bay start from $355. Every T+L hotel review is written by an editor or reporter who has stayed at the property, and each hotel selected aligns with our core values.

Tucson's 'Last, Lost, Guest Ranch' Lives Again
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A hidden gem has just been unearthed in the desert. Solana Guest Ranch and Spanish Villas, a historic property with roots dating back to 1948, has been completely renovated, expanded, and relaunched—reviving one of Tucson's only historically zoned guest ranches in over four decades. After decades of decline in Pima County's guest ranch scene, which has seen a dramatic drop from over 100 ranches to just a handful, local entrepreneurs John Jacobs and Danielle Jacobs have brought back Tucson's 'Last, Lost Guest Ranch'—and it's bigger and better than ever. Nestled in the lush Tanque Verde Valley, Solana Guest Ranch introduces a modern take on the classic Arizona ranch experience, merging luxury with adventure in a way that's never been seen before in this part of the activities and cowboy cookouts at Tucson's Solana Guest Ranch on Tanque Verde A Revival of a 75-Year-Old Tradition Since the 1985 zoning change that ended guest ranch designations in Pima County, Arizona, no new guest ranches have been established. Most major dude ranches in Pima County, including Lazy K Bar Ranch have closed with urban sprawl slowly replacing the rugged western charm. But Solana's renovation of the Bar J Desert Haciendas, a historic guest ranch founded in 1948, is a true western revival story. The property has been renovated and expanded into Solana Guest Ranch and Spanish Villas, with restored 1950's ranch houses, immaculate grounds, and state-of-the-art, air-conditioned luxury glamping wagons set to debut later this year. 'As Tucson locals with generations of family here in the Old Pueblo, it's important to us that we invest into preserving the history that makes our community so unique,' says John Jacobs, owner of Solana and several other local businesses. 'Solana is the last of its kind in Tucson, and we've transformed it into a nearly forgotten Tucson destination that's ideal for wellness retreats, corporate events, weddings, and group rentals. It's a place where peace, nature, and luxury come together.' Tucson's Best-Kept Secret: A Luxe Ranch for the Modern Traveler Solana Guest Ranch offers an experience like no other. The entire 11-acre boutique ranch property is available for buy-out, allowing groups to enjoy a private escape with exclusive access to all the ranch's luxury amenities: Air-conditioned luxury glamping wagons with full bathrooms On-site catering for events, weddings, receptions, and corporate gatherings Private chef-prepared meals, including cowboy cookouts Arena horse rides and equestrian lessons Pickleball, resort-style swimming pool, and expansive outdoor recreation Wellness retreats with meditation, sound bathing, and yoga sessions Whether you're looking to host a wedding ceremony and reception in Tucson or corporate off-site retreat or simply escape for a few days, Solana offers a unique, private ranch experience like nothing else in Tucson. And with its close proximity to Tanque Verde Falls, Saguaro National Park East, Mount Lemmon, and Agua Caliente Park, guests can immerse themselves in Tucson's natural beauty through hiking and biking. Historically Zoned Guest Ranch in Pima County The historical significance of Solana cannot be overstated. Not only is it the last of its kind in the area, but Solana is also the only guest ranch in Tucson to be re-recognized by Pima County in decades. This means Solana isn't just another resort—it's a true authentic ranch experience where guests can relive a classic western lifestyle with all the modern touches of luxury. Solana's Signature 'Ranch-to-Table' Experience Food is at the heart of the Solana experience. With an on-site chef specializing in ranch-style cuisine, guests can enjoy hearty meals with a gourmet twist.

Drivers, commuters bracing for more construction in Oakland this week
If you're heading through Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood this week, get ready for even more construction on top of what's already been frustrating drivers. This weekend marks the second phase of Pittsburgh Regional Transit's University Line Bus Rapid Transit Project. As part of the work, North Bouquet Street from Fifth to O'Hara will be closed through 6 a.m. Monday for reconstruction and line painting. "It's just in the way of pretty much everything I do around here," said Anthony Schiro, a student who lives in Oakland. While many in Oakland are used to the construction, that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. "It's usually once something's over, they go running to the next," said Schiro. "It's always a shifting narrative here in Pittsburgh. With what's closed and what's open, you just got to allow time and you'll figure it out," said Ron Baraff. And the timing couldn't be more challenging, with the Parkway East also fully closed this weekend, detouring traffic routes will cut through Oakland. "Anywhere I have to go, I have to get on Forbes, and that's where a lot of the backup and inconvenience is," said Schiro. "So, I just plan ahead, try to work it into my schedule wherever I'm going." Fifth and Forbes Avenue bus routes will continue to run as scheduled, and flaggers will help traffic flow. Forbes Avenue will also undergo line painting from Craft Avenue to Schenley Drive Extension, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PRT is urging travelers to leave early and expect delays. "If I get frustrated, it's because I didn't allow myself time," Baraff said. "I know what I'm dealing with here." Bottom line: Plan ahead, expect cones and maybe map out a backup route.
