Happy weekend! I’m crazed this weekend — I think this is the weekend when a lot of people are having parties and social events! Hope you have fun plans on the books, too.
Over at Drinks With Broads, I tackled the Excel World Championship and Heather saw Merrily We Roll Along, plus Kevin Costner gets into the Jesus business. On Thursday, we got into the latest about the Met Gala and on British Vogue. In the comments in the last one, everyone talks about their favorite pieces of art, which is really fun.
We had a piece on stocking stuffers this week, in case you’re working on that right now. Also, just in case you missed it, this year’s Gift Guide is live! We’ve also run a few other shopping posts recently that might help in your current gifting quest: Advent calendars! Tartan! Christmas ornaments! White Elephant parties! Wrapping paper!
Such a great piece from our friends Tom and Lorenzo: Harlow’s Still Here.
This is a very interesting and good piece about Timmee Chalamet, for whom the backlash bell has perhaps begun to toll.

Taylor Swift was very cute on Colbert this week.

I laughed at this: Spiteful gifts for kids whose parents you want to troll
I really love Negative’s undies and sleep stuff; I was tootling around there the other day to see if they had anything good for a few people on my holiday list and I LOVE this new sleep set but, uh, maybe for me? (I also sort of feel like I could wear these joggers as outside pants.)
Speaking of (non-spiteful) gifts, Sephora’s got 20% off everything through this weekend if you need to pick something up with code SAVEGIFTS. They’re also doing free delivery with code QUICKGIFTS, which is a nice perk. Baublebar is also currently having a big sale on their holiday jewelry, if you need last minute, on-topic sparkly stuff for your holiday parties.
This is sort of old news, but it’s so fun: Miss Piggy gets arrested at Sabrina Carpenter’s final show and fans are living for it

Do you need velour flares? You might! (The matching top might be more reasonable.)
The NYT rounds up The Best Historical Fiction of 2025. (I also enjoyed their piece about Favorite Books to Give Every Type of Reader.)
News we can all obviously use: Our pick of the best ski chalets to book in Europe this winter.
A fun piece with Isaac Mizrahi, always a hoot.
The Ringer runs down The Best TV Shows of 2025. I do agree with number one, but I also feel like you can really tell no women pitched in on this piece.
On the topic of sales, Loft is also offering 55% off through 12/16. I’m so tempted by these velvet pants. Velvet pants for everyone! (This is also a great price on this cute Christmas-y sweater.)
