INSPIRATIONAL LINKS, ETC

Who What Wear: A leather skirt at the office? What is this madness?!

Style: The best of fashion week hair and makeup. My fingers are crossed that gold eyebrows catch on- I’ve been looking for an office-friendly makeup look to pair with my leather skirt.

Vogue: Okay, there was a freak heat-wave last week, but it’s supposed to cool down again this week so make sure you’re prepared with the best, Vogue-approved sweaters.

The puppy makes this sweater extra cozy.  Puppies are must-haves for fall.

Arm candy on District of Chic:

Buzzfeed: Speaking of candy, have you chosen a Halloween costume yet? Because that weird bodysuit thing comes in leopard print. And sock monkey. And many more creepy designs than I ever wanted to know about.  

Because we both know what Heidi thought of your costume last year
