Well! Welcome to September, friends! A busy month for us all — Fashion Week, TIFF, the Emmys, back to school, we’ve got a book deadline, the US Open is happening, the Downton Abbey movie is opening, Harry and Meghan are going on tour, and a whole bunch of other stuff is happening that I can’t remember! Get some sleep, we will need all our energy.
