Sep 30 Weekly Roundup #85: SVU and new friends

Ok, so I’m probably going to be on hiatus for the next two (possibly even three!) weeks because this week is Bridal Fashion Week so work will be craaaazy and then I’m going to ACL the following week so I’ll be too busy hanging in one of my favorite cities to read as much as I normally do! But feel free to reach out and keep me posted on the things y’all are doing! Have suggestions for places I need to hit up in Austin? Send them my way! What about a new exhibit in NYC you think I’d find interesting? I’d love to hear about it! Have a great few weeks, friends!

xo, Katie

Reading

Outlander, Diana Gabaldon. Give me a break, it’s a long one and I’m only reading it on the PATH and subway!

How to Maintain Your Long-Distance Friendships When All Your Friends Move Away, Girls’ Night In. Or when YOU do! I love #4.

‘It Will Always Be a Part of My Life’: Chanel Miller Is Ready to Talk, The New York Times. Bravo one thousand times over for having the courage to share her story, and her name. I remember being chilled by her statement. The power behind her words. And here, she proves she’s just as well-spoken. The very last paragraph made me tear up a little. 💜 “…the people who love you want to suffer with you.” 💜

'A Doll For Everyone': Meet Mattel's Gender-Neutral Doll, Time. I. LOVE. THIS. Every child should feel seen and recognized. This was an incredibly thought-provoking article. Generation Alpha is here and it’s ready to make waves—t’s time for the parents to get on board.

‘Law & Order: SVU’ Will Make Primetime History This Week, Fortune. YAS, MARISKA, MY QUEEN!!! “Lt. Olivia Benson [is] the longest-running prime-time drama character of all-time.”

On Making New Friends, A Cup of Jo. An oldie but goodie, according to Girls’ Night In. Basically, do more stuff and put yourself out there!

Twitter Freaked Out Over Billie Eilish’s SNL Performance, Elle. I love her goal of making her tour as green as possible!

Issey Miyake's Floating Dresses Wow at Paris Fashion Week, Harper’s Bazaar. Um, I love.

7 Skin Care Products Our Editors Buy Over and Over Again, PureWow. I really can’t decide if P50 is worth it. I thought I would see a transformation when I started using it, but I haven’t really noticed a difference and I’ve been using it for months. The Water Cream though…might need to try. I do love the Neutrogena gel moisturizer though! Especially for that price point.

George R. R. Martin Just Dropped New Deets About the Second ‘Game of Thrones’ Prequel Series, PureWow. I don’t know if I’m ready to move on from the original characters! It’s like with “Skins,” I can’t just leave Cassie and Maxxie and Chris. And then Effy and Cook and Freddie for a third round? You MUST be joking. It’s the same thing here. I can’t just leave Arya and Brienne and Pod and Tormund for these new people!

Wonderlist, Wonderland. I liked literally all of these. And the end of the “Sugar Honey Iced Tea (S.H.I.T.)” video 😍😍

51 Awesome Things to Do This Fall in New York City, PureWow. I definitely wouldn’t mind glamping on Governor’s Island. And, um, I know it’s cheesy, but Serra d’Autunno sounds awesome/delicious. I really want to go to Arcadia Earth. And so much pizza! 🍕

The Memes Were The Best Part Of Watching The 2019 Emmy Awards, Nylon. Honestly, this is all I needed Emmy-wise. Well, and the timeline of Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen’s relationship after I saw a photo of them together at the Emmys.

Lili Reinhart, Wonderland. “Currently shooting season four of her hit show, and with Hustlers in theatres now, from here it looks like Reinhart’s name is only going to keep rising, with her feet planted firmly on the ground.”

An infamous lingerie brand is selling a sexy 'Beyond Burger' costume this Halloween, Business Insider. At least Yandy’s in on it 😂

Listening

clementine, Halsey. Eeeee, I just want this whole album to come out!

Earlier Days, Zsela.

Check out my Tunes highlight for my most-recent listens!

Watching

Killing Eve, BBC. Finally finally FINALLY started watching this and it’s sooo good! I’m also not-so-casually obsessed with Jodie Comer’s skin and natural beauty…also, really hoping this show somehow helps me get some of my French linguistic skills back?

Billie Eilish: Bad Guy (Live), SNL. HOW. Is she wearing magnetic shoes??
