We’re entering that season. Not pumpkin spice. Nor Thanksgiving or Christmas. But this season coincides with all of these: engagement season. And Kay Jewelers is ready to go. The jeweler that might give you mono has launched the Adrianna Papell bridal jewelry collection. It’s an assortment of 23 modern and contemporary engagement rings and coordinating bands.  Deemed “affordable luxury”, pieces start at $599. Yup. You might just get kissed for some nice bling and saving some cash. Oh, if we were only rich and famous we could have a personal stylist. Instead, we look like we’re ready to win a People of Walmart lack-of-beauty pageant. Wait… even we commoners have access to stylists. And the newest kids on the block? Millie & Main.  But Millie & Main is doing things differently. Yes, this service is subscription and digitally-based. But you’re in the power seat. You’re guided through the process at your own pace. You’ll then receive recommendations for building a great outfit, for organizing your closet, and taking advantage of what you already own. And that’s what makes this experience different. You’ll be working with what you already own so you aren’t throwing away money. For $29.99 a month, you’ll receive 12 complete looks that include both clothing and accessories from over 200-plus shopable links at various price points from brands like Nordstrom, Shopbob, Saks, and more—including new upcoming, brands. Now, if someone would actually arrive on our doorstep and literally dress us…  Olivia Sanabia was snapped wearing this Aidan Mattox getup at the Opening Night Performance of "Anastasia" at Hollywood Pantages Theatre. Admittedly, we are unhip and have no idea who Olivia is. But she is apparently smashing... Most importantly, we know this dress will never be ours because one must inquire for the price. Here we come, JOANN Fabrics! Two things: It appears the wearer of this dress has boob wings. Which might be cool because we've always wanted to fly. Or, we might be looking for some fella to buy us a cocktail. Second, if we were designing this dress, the bottom half would be tear-away. Two dresses in one! Wear it long to church; wear it short to the club. Holla! P.S. Yes, we know this pic is slightly out of focus. But we ain't buying the official pic, so deal... Fall is in the air… and on your face! If that’s what you want…  It can be rough being a lady. There's so much... maintenance. So. Much. So we appreciate when there are products out there that make our lives easier, and prettier. Pinch of Colour wants to be a woman's FBFF (Face Best Friend Forever). This brand claims superiority over other lipstuffs because of its waterless technology. "... these bold, luxurious matte velvet lipsticks won’t bleed, transfer or budge for over 8 hours and are infused with lip-nourishing extracts such as Jojoba Oil and Mango Butter for a highly pigmented pop of color." We need a lip-thingie that lasts. We're talking about through hours, through eating and drinking, and maybe some smooching. Get your Pinch-- of Colour-- in two new Fall shades: Amalia (Berry) and Larah (Brown Nude). Like what you read here?

A white tee and jeans. The classic combo that transcends genders, ages. But we're gonna stop your fashion fantasy right there. Because this little white tee is just too damned expensive.  The Cass Crop Tee from Splendid is $48. Forty-eight dollars? And there's less material? Nope. Get this instead.  A soft cotton blend that's breathable, and only $5! Go get it!
