Also, super real pregnant lady Brooklyn Decker + Andy Roddick had their first baby!
3. Tech Talk: It’s been a busy week in tech with all the media events going down. Microsoft unveiled their new fleet of Windows 10 products. Paramount launched a Youtube channel with loads of free movies (post-brunch plans, perhaps?). Also, the Harry Potterseries has been released as interactive ebooks that are AMAZING — your pals won’t be able to stop talking about this. Oh, and Amazon wants to be the next… Etsy? Taylor Swift has credited her Instagram follower count to her kitties. Aw. And you can shop with a ring now. Stop it, technology, you’re killing us. Also, take a stroll down down memory lane with your old tech.
4. Style Session: With Halloween creeping up, your brunch session is probably going to be overrun with costume ideas — costume ideas for you, your bestie, your squad and more. You should discuss with your pals whether or not you ought to put your pooch in this hilarious martini costume. Also, check out these famous redhead costumes (if you’re not a natural redhead, you can always go for a wig!). But in case you also want to talk about general beauty and style, Olaplex is every hairstylist’s secret weapon for healing hair. And Kerry Washington has a genius hairstyle hack.

5. Breaking Bread: In terms of food this week (other than the delicious meal you’re having at brunch), there are Halloween recipes galore — like these awesome appetizers — for that spooky party you have planned. At your Halloween shindig, you’ll also want these dark cocktails. If you want to have your friends over later, you can throw together a last-minute tapas party. For Thanksgiving, Chrissy Teigen’s savory cake is going to blow everyone’s minds. And remind your pals to stockpile that canned pumpkin, because there’s a pretty severe shortage this year.
