some links for you

And a Happy Friday to you! Thanks again for all the aok love this week! I'm so excited to have the site out there and I hope to work with some of you readers this year!! Tell me, what are you up to this weekend? Mother Nature tells me it's supposed to be almost 60 on Sunday and then back into the 30's on Monday? I think we can all agree that it's time for winter to stick around for a bit. Tomorrow I'm brunching with some girlfriends at Prime Meats , and in looking at the menu have decided that I'll be ordering one of everything. Whatever you're up to, I hope it's fantastic! Please do enjoy this list of my favorite links :: 

What to watch after 'Making a Murderer'.

In fashion education news, what to call your shoes.

A guide to new arrivals. 

This makes cleaning your makeup brushes a snap (I can never quite get my foundation brush clean!)

This week, I lost my gloves. <insert sad face emoji here> Thoughts on these?

This wedding dress has me swooning (check out those pics by my friend Julia!)

Hair color that lasts 6 months (and takes 6 hours!)? Hmmm...

See you next week!

Happy Friday, friends! This week zoomed by for me, and I'm happy to have arrived at Friday in one piece! What are you up to this weekend? I'm headed to CT for a short visit and a client meeting later this morning, and am hoping to see my nephews for dinner tonight! Tomorrow I'll be celebrating Halloween at a good friend's house, but I woke up with a bit of a sore throat today, so I'm going to try and take it easy with the drinking (not sure how that's going to work). I hope you all have a happy, happy Halloween and a wonderful weekend! Favorite links below....

I would love to grab a new pair of frames for our Honeymoon, and though these are out of my price range, I love the color!

Jon Stewart, you're amazing.

Trying to find your signature scent? Maybe try a few samples from here.

How fun are these? They're like chic friendship bracelets.

My costume for tomorrow.

Though, this guy has me BEAT.

These balls look delish!

And now...I need your advice, friends. What's your favorite full coverage foundation? Bonus points if it's vegan / not tested on animals! Would love to hear your thoughts!

See you next week!

What a week, friends! It's rainy but it's cold; I told my friend yesterday that wearing long sleeves and long pants (and closed toed shoes) makes me feel alive. Bring it on, Fall! What are you up to this weekend? Tomorrow is my bridal shower! We're having a small group for brunch in the city, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone and catching up! Be sure to check Instagram tomorrow for an outfit pic :). Here's hoping you have a snuggly, cozy weekend ahead of you. Favorite links of the week below!

Astorians, rejoice! The perfect pumpkin roundup. 

10 items with great Amazon reviews. What an awesome post!

My good friend sent me this and it's perfect / unfortunate.

Would love to add these to my pants collection this Fall. May pop into J. Crew later.

After much deliberation, we're taking Raven's suit here for alterations. Will keep you posted!

Curious to try this (the aesthetician at CAP Beauty recommended it). Have you tried?

How long it takes to get addicted to a show.

A bag in every color for Fall.

Uh-oh.

Till next week!
