This Cold Noodle Salad With Spicy Peanut Sauce Is Really Cool
In sweaty-knee conditions, cooking absolutely has to be quick and efficient, with recipes designed to help you keep your cool. Cold noodle dishes, for example, are ideal for this kind of weather. We have a slew of excellent ones here, including Hetty Lui McKinnon's cold noodle salad with spicy peanut sauce.
With its flexible nature, this colorful salad is the kind of thing you can turn to all summer long. Just toss whatever vegetables you have with the springy soba noodles and piquant sauce, making sure to use a mix of crunchy and juicy ingredients — crisp cucumbers, floppy sliced peppers, soft bits of tomato — to get a range of textures. The creamy peanut sauce, spiked with lime juice and sweetened with maple syrup, brings everything together.

Ranch grilled chicken: For those brave enough to fire up the grill (and maybe not living in a heat dome of your own right now), here's Christian Reynoso's smart new chicken recipe. Christian uses a homemade, yogurt-based ranch dressing as a marinade for boneless chicken thighs, and then drizzles it over the charred, grilled meat after it's been tossed with radishes and a handful of the same herbs used in the dressing.

I Shopped NYC's Biggest Flea Market for 7 Fashion Trends Locals Actually Wear—and You Can Get Them at Amazon
If there's one thing I've learned since moving to New York City, it's that the most fashionable locals rarely wear mass-produced items. Instead, they often sport vintage, handmade, or one-of-a-kind pieces. That doesn't mean the city is immune to trends; New Yorkers instead just put their own spin on things, turning to flea markets and vintage shops to hunt for unique versions of trendy styles. I recently visited the Grand Bazaar, NYC's biggest flea market, which is flooded weekly with stylish locals. I took note of the seven most popular trends I spotted, and now, I'm sharing them with Travel + Leisure readers—along with affordable ways to shop the trends at Amazon. From vintage-inspired leather crossbody bags to celeb-approved track shorts, you can shop these top clothing styles from just $4. When wandering the Grand Bazaar, you can't help but notice that a few booths draw particularly large crowds. Many times, the most popular booths are the ones that sell vintage handbags and purses. I've found vintage-inspired crossbody bags at Amazon, along with sleek leather totes that remind me of the handmade ones I frequently spot at the market. My favorite thing about this style of bag is that they're truly timeless, so you can wear them in any season, for almost any occasion, and for years to come. Oversized button-downs are a wardrobe staple, and right now, pastel versions are taking over my social media feeds. When exploring New York's trendiest vintage markets, you'll find racks full of crisp shirts from Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and more—but similar styles at Amazon come with much better prices. I found shirts from $18, including butter yellow, blue striped, and other trendy versions. Throw them over a swimsuit, pair them with your favorite jeans, or dress them up for the office. Silk scarves are the international accessories of chic dressers, and my local flea market is overflowing with vintage options. While a pre-loved designer version could cost you upwards of $400, Amazon is full of affordable alternatives that channel the same elegance. Prices start at just $6. I've spotted dresses at Amazon that are just as unique as the vintage versions that fill New York's marketplaces. From tropical-printed dresses that are perfect for vacation to halter-neck mini versions you can wear on a girls' night out, these pieces will inject a dose of creative personal style into your wardrobe. I believe that jewelry is the hallmark of a truly stylish individual. Your jewelry can be a true reflection of you, so I love to shop unique statement jewelry at the Grand Bazaar. The flea market is full of gemstones, fidget rings, pendant necklaces, and other rare pieces. But you don't have to travel to the Upper West Side to snag similar items. I found beautiful statement jewelry at Amazon, including trending styles like a cord necklace and a resin bracelet. Bohemian blouses are back in a major way, but you don't need to splurge on vintage finds to get the style. Amazon options are more affordable and just as stylish, and they'll be in much better condition than secondhand versions (which tend to show more wear due to their delicate fabrics). From the crisp, structured Sweatyrocks Embroidered Blouse to the flowy Yiulangde Tie-front Lace Top, these tops ooze with New York panache—and no one will guess these romantic blouses are from Amazon. The shorts you wore as an awkward middle schooler have been co-opted by fashion lovers, and they're in high demand at secondhand markets. Track shorts are so trendy that even celebrities like Zoe Kravitz and Hailey Bieber have worn them, pairing them with open-toe heels and turning them into nighttime-worthy ensembles. Whether you're planning on wearing them casually or dressing them up, track shorts should be on your shopping list. Skip sifting through countless thrift racks when you can score them on Amazon for as low as $15. I particularly love the checkerboard-printed Umbro track shorts, which are marked down to just $28.

A New Chapter for Tory Burch
From its inception in 2004, Tory Burch projected an idea of leisure and refinement, outfits that could be worn while pruning the hydrangeas of an estate but were also beloved by suburban moms making midday trips to Kroger. Gallery owner Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, a friend for many decades, remembers Burch showing her some of her father's golf sweaters very early on: 'She had this notion of an old-world Americana sportswear that people wore in country clubs. She understood that there was a niche business missing, and she wanted it affordable.' The languorous aesthetics that the brand radiates can obscure just how much scrappy hustle it took to get it off the ground. The company's first investors were friends and family, who were asked to put in 'only what they could afford to lose,' Burch says, which was sometimes just a few thousand dollars. Even then, Burch had an idea that she wanted a broader purpose for the business. 'I'll never forget, I sat on the couch of one of our first investors and I said, 'I want to start a global lifestyle brand so I can start a foundation.' And he was like, 'Don't ever say that.'' (The Tory Burch Foundation was officially launched in 2009 and has distributed $2 million in grants to female business owners and many millions more through a loan program; its current goal is to add $1 billion to the economy by 2030.) Lately Burch has been focused purely on the creative side of her company. 'Designers get pigeonholed and put into a box. People are seeing beyond that,' she says As the company grew, Burch desperately wanted to keep her personal life separate from her professional one, and that wariness made her closed off at times, she acknowledges. But she had good reason to desire privacy: She and Chris Burch were going through a protracted divorce. (They're now friends.) When I ask her what she thinks people misunderstand about her past, it's the idea that she strolled into success. 'I think people have this perception that things were easier,' Burch says. 'But just physically, the amount of work, and the hours from eight in the morning to ten at night, every night. Sometimes falling asleep at four in the morning, and doing it all with little babies.' 'The idea that women have to do more with less,' says the businesswoman and financier Mellody Hobson, now a good friend of Burch's, 'it's just a given. We don't even talk about that.' When we met in her office, Burch discussed this time in her life with some care, aware that she did not want to complain while sitting on her plush sofa, sipping a Diet Coke, with cloth napkins set out by her assistants. 'What I'm saying,' she articulated, 'is that it was excruciating, the amount of work it took to build this company. And women are held to different standards.'

We own $1,000s worth of Reformation — 9 (on sale!) styles we would actually recommend buying
Save 30 per cent on celebrity and editor-approved dresses, jeans, sweaters and more. Confession — I'm a bit of a Reformation junkie. Much of my wardrobe real estate is dedicated to the cool girl brand and thus, a good chunk of my credit card bill, too. Over the past several years, I have invested in Reformation dresses (they're fantastic for weddings), jeans (my favourite pair are included below), sweaters and shoes. For the most part, I buy timeless, season-agnostic styles, like the popular Fantino Cashmere Collared Cardigan, to justify my (almost always) triple-digit splurge. Because Reformation is on the pricier side, the bulk of my spending happens when the brand holds one of its iconic sales, like the one happening right now. For a limited time, Reformation shoppers can snag some of the brand's bestselling styles for 30 per cent off, including several celebrity and editor-loved favourites. I did some digging and found a number of styles that I, and my fellow Yahoo Canada editors, own that are also on sale. If you keep scrolling, you'll find my aforementioned favourite jeans, most-worn ballet flats and more, all at a discount. To shop our editor-approved picks, plus a handful of other styles I'm adding to my cart, check out the details below.
