Happy Friday! The first Friday of fall -- hope you have something autumnal planned, even if it is hot where you are. ("Autumnal," as far as I'm concerned, can also encompass, like...thinking about sweaters.) PSA that the VMAs are Sunday -- we'll have full coverage here on Monday if you don't feel like watching (and even if you do).
At Drinks With Broads this week, we took on Lanterns, the newest Vogue covers, and a great museum gift shop. We also bemoaned the robots on the runways, and lightly complained about all those Taylor Swift variations. (The overall vibe there was "from a tired Swiftie," to quote someone in the commentariat.)
Speaking of the change of seasons, here at GFY, I rounded up a bunch of AUTUMNAL DELIGHTS. Our best-sellers this past week were the Eby relief bra (which is a great bra and which is still on sale in certain colorways), this great Banana Republic re-issued skirt, and various items from the Brooklinen sale, which also appears to still be happening.

Speaking of sales, the Madewell Insiders sale is still popping (I love this green tote), and Sephora is running daily deals on hair products, if you need some. (I'm waiting for Tuesday, when their bumble + bumble goes on sale; I need shampoo.)
As usual, I agree with Lainey: Dolly wouldn’t want this drama. What a mess.
