Hey Reader,

“We are kept from our goals not by obstacles but by a clear path to lesser goals.” –Robert Brault

Labor Day Weekend is upon us, and it's bittersweet – the unofficial farewell to summer. It's that time when we all reflect on how swiftly the sunny days have passed.

Now, don't get me wrong; I love fall fashion with its jackets, boots, and layers, but I'm not quite ready to bid adieu to summer just yet. So, I'm making it my mission to savor every moment of these last three weekends before we officially transition.

And since this is GW Dispatch Vol. 50, a milestone edition, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for being a part of this journey! 🎉

Now, let's dive into my collection of Best's for you, plus a bonus:
