Happy weekend, everyone! Hope you have good things planned. Lots to catch up with here at GFY — if you missed any of the Emmys, you can read all about it here. We also had a great live chat over at Drinks With Broads, and did a run-down of the best and worsts of the red carpet and ceremony in case you missed it.
Also at DWB: A fresh Ted Lasso recap! And: Downton Legos, the Emmys comedy problem, and some of America’s weirdest defunct magazines. Here, I rounded up a bunch of random delightful items for fall, which will be here before we know it. The top three best-sellers here this week were (once again, and this is appropriate) that I Survived Patricia’s Sunset Cocktails tee shirt, this J.Crew silk shirt, and the Anthropologie advent calendar! (The Korres advent calendar is available now too!)
