Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you’ve got something fun to look forward to this weekend.
At Drinks With Broads this week, we had daily Olympics chats, and they were so fun! But we also had our usual Tuesday and Thursday newsletters: Tuesday brought sneak peeks of White Lotus and The Gilded Age, the Simone Biles docu, THE FBI GOT INVOLVED WITH THE BENNIFER DIVORCE??? Then, Thursday tackled Blake Lively’s September Vogue shoot and the Louvre giftshop. Coming up soon: Our coverage of Emily in Paris and Only Murders in the Building!
Here at GFY, I rounded up cute athletic outfits. We also talked about the best things you’ve bought recently.
