Rather than kicking it poolside or attending an end-of-summer barbecue, I like to spend Labor Day where I used to work: Lululemon. Because I’m no longer on the clock during the holiday weekend, I can now shop for the perfect capsule wardrobe—something I definitely need as a travel writer. This year, I’ll be visiting Poland and Paris, so I’m getting a head start on filling up my cart with the brand’s best travel pieces. And while I’ve been having fun filling up my shopping cart, it’s been time-consuming; the “We Made Too Much Section” is currently overflowing with more than…

French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sir…

A few years ago, a round-up of hotels in Athens as extensive and luxurious as the one our editors have curated below would have been almost unthinkable. While the Greek capital has long been a city-break destination for history buffs and sunshine seekers, it’s only recently that Athens hotels have caught up with the appetite for long weekends and shoulder-season trips from a chic, jet-setting crew. Far from a stop-over on the way to the islands, Athens is reaping the rewards of a long-overdue renaissance, complete with a buzzing food scene and the surprisingly new phenomenon of rooftop bars with…

Paul Dano hasn’t talked about his new film yet. “You’re my first,” the American star laughs to The Hollywood Reporter in his first interview about the Venice-bound political thriller. “So let’s see.” It’s another midweek New York day for Dano, but in no time at all he’ll be setting foot on the lido — for the first time in his career — to present Olivier Assayas‘ The Wizard of the Kremlin, premiering in competition on Aug. 31. The French filmmaker is beloved on the festival circuit having served on both the juries in Cannes and Locarno. He won best screenplay in Venice…
