For Restless Sleepers Resort 2026 Collection
But it's not only the natural world or distant horizons that spark Ruffini's creativity; she is also a devoted bibliophile with a taste for the uncanny. After revisiting the surreal world of Haruki Murakami, she set out to translate his off-kilter universe into her seasonal figurative extravaganzas. One of the outcomes was the rather absurdist scene of a curious little monkey perched on a tree, gazing pensively at a horizon scribbled with a quote by none other than Friedrich Nietzsche. The philosophical primate made its appearance across a blush-pink silk pajama, edged with chocolate-brown piping, and again, more boldly, on cyan-blue palazzo pants with a matching shirt.
Ramages of corals, flamboyant botanicals, and flamingos seemingly poised for takeoff flutter across long summer caftans and billowy blouses, casually tucked into fluid, drawstring trousers. For Ruffini, comfort isn't an afterthought, but rather a guiding principle, right alongside ease and versatility. Her impactful designs may turn heads, but they never tie hands: you move freely, as if dressed in a breeze. The prints themselves have grown more open and lighter. One featured half-sketched flowers tangled with geometric shapes, like a drawing caught mid-thought. 'A little chaos is liberating,' she quipped. Judging by the elegant unruliness of her patterns, she means it.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Cane's antics force one person to go dark and plot deadly revenge?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It takes a special kind of person to eclipse The Young and the Restless' Victor (Eric Braeden) as the most infuriating person in Genoa City, but it looks like this new Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is that person. To be clear, Victor is our favorite character on the soap, but we aren't ignorant of the fact that he has a particular talent for getting under the skin of almost everyone on the show's canvas. Back to Cane. Since his not-so-triumphant return to The Young and the Restless, he's done nothing but enrage a number of guests at his French home. Lily (Christel Khalil) is furious with him for lying about being Aristotle Dumas and blames him for Damian's (Jermaine Rivers) death. Victor was already skeptical about Cane trying to take Chancellor before he became enraged with Cane for holding Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) hostage in a storage room. And we'd venture to guess by the time this disastrous French trip is over, most people won't be happy to learn that he's been lying about their ability to leave Europe and return home sooner. Adding to all this, when Amy (Valarie Pettiford) and Nate (Sean Dominic) learn that their respective son and brother was murdered in France, likely by Cane's assistant Carter (Vincent Stalba), they'll probably blame Cane for Damian's demise. Along those lines, Holden (Nathan Owens) may be furious with his boss for the death of his bestie. Having said all of that, we can't help but imagine someone trying to kill Cane in revenge, or at the very least making his life incredibly miserable. We're talking about Cane being forced to watch everything he's accomplished in the business arena stripped from him, and maybe even having absolutely no one rallying for his cause, not even his children. While we have a strong suspicion that either Victor, Nick or a combination of the two is likely going to try to bring Cane to his knees, we think someone else may strive to accomplish beyond that, possibly going as far as murder. If we had to guess who that person is, we think it's either Amy or Nate. For Amy, she just reconnected with Damian after being estranged from him for years. Their reconciliation helped push her into trying an experimental treatment to beat her deadly disease, and she was hoping for more time with her only child upon his return to Genoa City. Now that he's dead, she won't get to have those moments. If she feels as if she has nothing to lose, she may make it her mission to make Cane pay, maybe with his life. Nate is an intriguing person to consider as someone who might try to kill Cane. He's a former doctor and once pledged to do no harm, so to see him want to eliminate an enemy is a bit ironic. Although Nate is usually levelheaded, losing a brother he was just starting to bond with may cause him to snap. Especially when you add the fact that Nate is bound to learn that Audra (Zuleyka Silver) was willing to cheat on him for the sake of satisfying Victor's scheme. Selfishly, we kind of want to see Nate go dark and plot against Cane. As a former doctor, he'd likely be able to come up with a few different ways to murder him, but make it look like a natural medical issue. If not Amy and not Nate, then allow us to propose the idea that the one who plots deadly revenge against Cane is Damian. Yes, Damian is allegedly dead. However, we've been holding onto a theory for a while now that Damian is actually alive and would at some point remerge onto the scene. Damian 'haunting' Cane to drive him mad before attempting to kill him could prove rather entertaining. Look, we know the last thing Genoa City needs is another murder mystery. However, Cane may have crossed too many people. New episodes of The Young and the Restless air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day.

A Local Hotel Owner's Guide To Dining In Guerneville
Main Street Guerneville Main Street Kelsey Joy Photography Rooted in redwoods and shaped by decades of creativity and community, Guerneville feels like a different side of Sonoma. It's walkable, unpolished, and packed with personality. The town has long been a welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community, and that openness shows up in everything from the art to the hospitality to the food. Courtyard and Stavrand Hotel Emma K. Morris Emily Glick, owner of The Stavrand Hotel, knows the town better than most. After more than a decade in hospitality, she left her job with Kimpton Hotels and reopened a historic inn just off Main Street in 2021. The Stavrand blends old-school warmth with modern design and sits on six forested acres just a ten-minute walk from downtown. The hotel also happens to serve one of Guerneville's best dinners, with multiple courses, hyper seasonal ingredients, and local wine pairings, but it's reserved exclusively for overnight guests. Person Holding Cheese Board Emma K. Morris When visitors ask where else to eat around town, these are the five spots she always recommends. boon eat + drink exterior boon eat + drink Opened by Crista Luedtke over fifteen years ago, boon eat + drink remains one of Guerneville's essential dinner spots. The space is cozy, stylish, and always buzzing, with a seasonal menu that keeps it interesting. Think seared local halibu with succotash and cranberry beans, or polenta lasagna with mixed veggies and rainbow chard. Look forward to a wine list full of Sonoma favorites. 'Boon eat + drink has been a top spot on Main Street for over a decade—fifteen years, I think—and for good reason. Make sure to try the Brussels sprouts if you go,' Emily says. 'Crista's star keeps rising on the Food Network, where she's often featured as a judge or contestant on Guy's Grocery Games . She's really charismatic and a great champion of Sonoma County, and our town in particular.' Road Trip Mac Daddy Burger Road Trip Crista Luedtke's latest project is more laid back, with a travel-inspired menu that moves between global small plates and nostalgic comfort food. You might start with DIY deviled eggs, then go for the Mac Daddy burger, which hits like an elevated version of your favorite fast food classic. Other standouts include Thai braised pork and summer spaetzle, if you're craving something with a German twist. Drinks lean low ABV and aperitif forward or you'll find local wines here too. 'Road Trip is her newer concept,' Glick says. 'It's more eclectic, the kind of place where you can stop in for a couple of appetizers or enjoy a full three course meal.' Equality Vines Equality Vines Interior Equality Vines More tasting room than restaurant, Equality Vines pours wines with a mission. Founded by two LGBTQ+ activists, the winery supports civil rights causes and has become a Guerneville staple over the years. Guests can order a flight, add a charcuterie board, and explore bottles themed around gender and marriage equality. The space also opens into Oli Gallery, a local art spot showcasing work from Donavan Irby and other Sonoma creatives. 'I love that they support good causes and that their tasting room opens into my favorite gallery, Oli, where the art is amazing and the owner-artist, Donavan, is so kind and talented.' The Lodge at Dawn Ranch Dinner Table Spread at The Lodge Dawn Ranch Part of the recently reimagined Dawn Ranch property, The Lodge is raising the bar for resort dining in Guerneville. The concept includes multiple dining experiences in one, with a relaxed lounge offering a small plates menu and a more formal dining room featuring two seasonal tasting menus. The kitchen is led by an Argentinian and a Brazilian chef, whose backgrounds influence the menu with vibrant flavors, wood-fired techniques, and a fresh take on California ingredients. 'I'm excited about their new three restaurants in one concept,' she says, 'where the more loungy area offers one menu and the actual dining room provides guests with the two tasting menu options.' El Barrio This tequila and mezcal focused bar serves a tight menu of Mexican comfort food that's ideal for snacking or sharing. Chips and salsa, queso fundido with chorizo, and ceviche rotate alongside mini quesadillas and tacos made with organic corn tortillas. Fillings vary daily, with meat and vegetarian options posted on the board. 'Ooooooh, boy, let me tell you,' she says. 'The cocktails at this spot are delicious and the bartender Stephen is basically a mezcal savant. I've learned a lot from him and enjoyed drinks with different spirits, not just tequila, though this bar will make anyone a fan. Their food menu is small but fantastic and everything tastes like Martha made it with love. It's hard to notice at first, but there's a really charming hidden patio at the far end of the space, and my co workers and I always hope for seats there.' Main Street Bistro Main Street Bistro is where locals go for unfussy comfort food and live music. The menu covers the classics—pizza, pasta, burgers—and there's often a piano set or jazz night depending on the day. 'This bistro is a bit less polished and more of a locals' hang-out,' Emily adds. 'It has charmed me more and more over the years, and it's fun that they host live music on certain nights. They're good for classics like a cheeseburger or pizza, and let's just say their Manhattans are pretty powerful.'

Don't sleep on these amazing new Game Pass games this weekend (August 1-3)
Xbox has already released a lot of its plans for Gamescom this year, including the fact that Silksong will be playable on its upcoming handheld. Sadly, very few of us can make the trip to Germany just to play that and all the other games coming to Xbox Series X this year, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of new games for us to dive into this weekend. In fact, one of the most exciting games of the year was quietly added to Game Pass in early access, making it the perfect game to grab some friends and jump into. That is in addition to a deep sim title and a game that needs no introduction but you might not realize is back on the service. That's enough teasing from me, though, so let's talk about three Game Pass games you can't afford to sleep on this weekend. Grounded 2 (early access) The original Grounded was a slow starter but a wildly fun and inventive survival game. This sequel, which just hit early access, is already bigger and better than the original. Grounded 2 shrinks you and your friends down to bug-size in a park filled with more bugs to fight (and ride), resources to collect, and weapons to craft. There's even more lore and story to uncover here that builds on what was set up in the first game. I do have to note that this is early access, which means it isn't complete yet. You won't find an ending to the story, and there are still new features and mechanics on the way. Even with that caveat, I love exploring the world from a shrunken perspective with friends and no other game lets me do that. Recommended Videos Grounded 2 is available now in early access on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Farming Simulator 25 Simulator games have been on a roll lately, and the king of them has always been Farming Simulator. Xbox is giving us full access to the latest entry this weekend, but I have to say that this game isn't for everyone. This is a simulator in the stricter sense of the word. You will be managing your farm, operating realistic machinery, and dealing with various weather conditions that threaten your harvest. You can also get into raising animals in this version for another layer of challenge and immersion. If you can vibe with the more procedural and slow pace of this experience, it is a very addictive cozy game. Farming Simulator 25 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. GTA 5 This is more of a PSA than anything else since everyone knows what GTA 5 is, if you don't own it already. However, if you don't, you can see what all the hype is about with Game Pass right now ahead of both GTA 6 and another crime drama game coming up, Mafia: The Old Country. While that upcoming game isn't an open world, that series still takes heavy narrative inspiration from GTA. There are few games that manage to have as fun of a single player experience, optional side activities, and multiplayer that all fire on all cylinders. The fact that GTA 5 managed to pull that all off is why it has managed to stay relevant for over a decade now. GTA 5 is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
