Please don’t be mad at me for saying this after we nonetheless have a month left of sweltering warmth, however this episode of And Simply Like That … solidified my perspective that fall is the superior season. That is, to begin with, when everybody can begin actually dressing — hats, scarves, sweaters, layering, the works. It’s additionally the season when the actual drama — the sort that warrants a juicy three-way name — comes out. Summer time within the metropolis is simply too scorching for anybody to suppose straight, so when the temperature drops we’re pressured to face the choices we made, the individuals we had been. For some, that appears like acknowledging the emotions you have got to your very horny British neighbor, who clearly has emotions for you as a result of he won’t cease gushing about your novel that sounds prefer it was written by ChatGPT. For others, it seems to be like telling your mother and father you’re going to be a dad at 20. Totally different strokes for various of us.
Anyway, like I stated, the individuals on this present are dressing.
The Vivienne Westwood robe, the frizzed-up, poofed-up hair … I’m giving a standing ovation in my lounge, throwing flower petals at my tv in celebration, and hooting and hollering!!!! My neighbors are telling me to pipe down. This outfit, this styling, these curls, all of it’s so Carrie. That is what I might anticipate the evolution of a New York Metropolis style icon to appear to be, not some striped costume mismatched with orthopedic sneakers.
In truth, this whole episode’s outfits felt very Carrie — the preppy deep V-neck sweater styled with a pair of Burberry plaid leggings; the very ’90s, hippie-adjacent patterned costume and assertion necklace. Thanks to the costume division. You ate this one little factor.

Good day, Inspector Gadget (loopy contemplating the precise inspector, Matthew Broderick, married into the Intercourse and the Metropolis household by the use of Sarah Jessica Parker). I ponder if Miranda borrowed the fedora from Broderick on to go on her bizarre prenatal investigation.

Lavender is your colour, diva! Lastly, we got the grace of an episode free from assertion necklaces. Sure, I’m ignoring the assertion brooch and the large pockets.
And LTW’s daughter Gabby in her head-to-toe Burberry, regardless of letting a rodent out in her household’s multimillion-dollar penthouse, is doing an incredible job of upholding the household custom (trying stylish throughout instances of calamity).

This needs to be probably the most insane get together fouls I’ve ever seen in my complete life. From begin to end — the conception and development of the puppet, the puppet’s bulge, the allegedly asexual geriatric roommate leaving his door open whereas he wanked on the sight of the puppet. I’d like science to rush up and invent some serum to wipe my reminiscences. That story line just isn’t one thing I would like to hold with me into the longer term.

Even when Seema is committing religious manslaughter, she nonetheless seems to be unimaginable. The fluffy brown cape, the black mesh high, the hair. I’ve by no means laid eyes on a extra glamorous lady.

Adam Gardens, Adam Cardigan. Adam, “Oh no, the plant I’ve [sweetly] anthropomorphized as my mother has fallen out the window once more.” He continues to present me the ick, however he has additionally sadly endeared himself to me like a type of hairless canines with no tooth at an adoption middle.
