Happy weekend, everyone! I hope it’s delightful for you.
We had a big week here and at Drinks With Broads. Monday was the Met Gala — if you missed any of the fashion action, we had complete blue carpet coverage right here.
At DWB, we had a special EARLY EDITION on Wednesday that we were smart to rush out: POPEWATCH 2025. (I also tried to figure out what was happening with the Beckhams.) Tuesday’s issue ran down everything you might have missed at the Met Gala. And Monday, we had a fun and lively open chat during the Met Gala arrivals. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
USA Today wants you to vote for the best independent bookstore! The candidates all look delightful.

Oooooh I wish I’d seen this little striped dress in time to order it for my vacation! It’s SO cute. I did order this Quince linen dress you all recommended, and I really like it. Now I have to cross my fingers that the weather holds.
I also VERY MUCH want this dress. I warn you — it is kooky. But so am I?

Oh, I’ve been so interested in this brand, as you know: Mini Review: Violette FR. (I’ve had the worst time trying to figure out which lip color to order. I feel like I’m bad at that. This is when I need to go into the store.) [The Stripe]

Have you heard about Dr. Diamond’s Metacine? I feel like the skin products started popping up on Instagram for me over the last couple of months, and they kindly sent us some product around then, too. They gave me The Plasma — very generously, because it’s expensive. It is VERY good on me so far, in terms of improving skin texture, and I haven’t even been using it that long. So far, I endorse — but it is pricy, just FYI. When I get to the end of this bottle, I’ll report back!
I loooooooove this house. [H&G UK]
