Rock On, Halloween!

Halloween is more fun as an adult. You can buy the candy yourself rather than trusting your weird neighbors. Sexier costumes. Jello shots.

My first Halloween party is on Thursday and I'm going as a rocker, but I need another idea for my party Friday night. What are y'all dressing up as?Unfortunately, I'm not as committed as these girls and will likely not be wearing face paint.

Septum piercings: yay or nay?

I often come off as a conversative, girly girl- all high heels, fake eyelashes and dresses. But I also have an artsy, tough side that I've enjoyed exploring during college. No one bats an eye when you have purple hair, or simultaneously wear one color of lipstick your upper lip and another on your lower lip.

I've wanted a piercing forever. Ears are too common and I don't show off my navel enough for that to be worth it. I like the septum piercing (shown here on lovely Scarlett), as it's unique but can be hidden inside of your nose when necessary.

What do you think? I have a face that is feminine enough that I think I could pull it off. I'll probably do it no matter what you guys say, so this is more of a preview to the kinds of comments I'll be getting.

I'm mad for you, Don Draper

Mmm...Don Draper. 60's fashion. Intelligent script.

I know everyone sings this show's praises, but...what's not to love?

Bag Borrow or Steal

Want a pretty new fall designer bag without spending all of your tuition money? Check out BagBorrowOrSteal.com, which rents out bags for a weekly or monthly fee. I've never signed up...has anyone had any success with it? I'm eyeing this Prada one for 77 bucks a week.

THEY LIGHT UP!

Remember when you were a kid and they had those shoes that lit up when you walked? Or when you were a teenager and they had clear prom shoes with neon lights in the heel?

These are like the classier version of both of those. Unfortunately class costs $2,200.

Frye Boots = Orgasm

Earlier this year I saw a girl with super-cute boots and complimented her on them, asking where she got them. When she asked me if I'd heard of Frye boots before and I said no, she looked at me like I was totally out of it. Now I know why...Frye boots rock- the styling is basic but trendy and the leather is gorgeous. The Owen Lace-Ups above are amazing- they fit with my tough feminine look. Unfortunately they are $298 and I doubt there's a replica this sexy. I did just shell out some big bucks on my first Nikon though, and I'm so excited!! Once in comes in the mail I'll be the biggest shutterbug ever- I'm dying to create an amazing Flickr account. But I digress.

America's Next Top Model Episode 2

I’m a bit ashamed of it, but I’m really getting into the 11^th season of America’s Next Top Model. Right now I’m absolutely in love with Marjorie and her look. She’s such a sweetheart- like a blonde version of Audrey Tautou. (I did try to find a better picture of her than the one above...I'm not crazy about the high waisted overalls and spikier hair.)

Although I should probably be coming on fashion rather than personality, Clark and Hannah drive me insane. Clark seems very bland and ditzy, while Hannah needs to be more open-minded and get over herself.

And while I like Sheena, I’m glad they pointed out her fake breasts…but it makes me wonder how many of the other contestants have had plastic surgery. I feel like there are a lot more unique, unusual faces in the competition, instead of just pretty ones.
