You worked hard enough this week. Let us plan your weekend…

Game 2 of the NBA Finals tips off tonight in San Antonio. Whether you’ve been rooting for the Knicks or Spurs since 1999 or recently joined a certain bandwagon, here’s what we’re watching: Will the Knicks take a 2-0 series lead? Will another selfie-taking fan storm the court? (Please, no.) Will Spike Lee lend The Greatest Fit of All Time™ to Lil Timmy Tim? And, perhaps most important, will Elmo be OK? We’ll be tuning in to ABC at 8:30 PM ET to find out.

Even if a trip to France isn’t in the cards this summer, these Paris-worthy outfit formulas are absolutely worth stealing — and everything you need is probably already in your closet.
3.
Decorating or redecorating your space? The secret to snagging trendy home finds on a budget is from a brand you wouldn’t expect. No, not Quince.

Normally, we wouldn’t recommend revisiting the chaos of your 20s, but we’ll make an exception for Hulu’s Not Suitable For Work. The third chapter in Mindy Kaling’s semi-autobiographical TV trilogy — which includes Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls — follows five 20-somethings living in unrealistically large apartments across the hall from each other in New York’s Murray Hill neighborhood. (Friends who?) Expect demanding bosses (hi, Constance Wu), roommate beef, inadvisable crushes on coworkers, and the Titanic’s ship designer (sorry, Victor Garber) wearing under-eye patches for some reason.

We’ll admit, we were skeptical of this viral twist on lemonade — until we saw the results of Good Housekeeping’s taste test. Consider us convinced.

Happy (almost) weekend. I recently started watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City for the first time with my fiancé — and our jaws are on the floor. In between figuring out my tagline and bingeing every episode, here’s what else is on the weekend agenda:

Now that peach season has officially arrived in Georgia, I’ll make one of my favorite summer dinners, which was my mom’s best-kept secret (sorry, Mom). My fiancé sometimes grills chicken to go alongside, but rotisserie chicken also works in a pinch. Whatever you do, don’t skip the honey vinaigrette on top.
I’ve been eyeing these paracord gemstone necklaces — aka the new Tribeca mom staple. They’re under $100, ideal for elevating tees and tanks, and exactly what my everyday necklace stack has been missing.
Catching up on the latest season of Couples Therapy. I walk away from every episode captivated by the couples’ stories — and Dr. Orna’s body language and very chic outfits. Nine episodes are simply not enough.
Finishing Whistler by Ann Patchett. Her books always feel like slipping into a perfectly worn-in cardigan, and this one chronicles a woman reconnecting with a father figure over the course of a few weeks. No one writes the human condition quite like she does.
Stocking up on Trader Joe’s most underrated flowers while I still can. Out of the way, peonies.
