Rachel Zoe’s daily newsletter features a Parallel Universe section which highlights accessories and clothes at more practical price points. Today’s is a cute ring from Banana Republic. We think cocktail rings and bold accessories are fun, especially for the colder months when our fingers aren’t swollen. Ew.
The fashion bible Vogue has a page that mentions New York’s Fashion Night Out, but also has a guide featuring 100 buys under 100 bucks. We’re fans of a good buy, and always think of Grace Coddington, Vogue’s creative director and our favorite underdog from The September Issue.
The Inky gave Coco Before Chanel three out of four stars! All the more reason to see Gabrielle “Coco” in her early days if you haven’t already.
NBC10 points the way to USB drives that are more glam than usual. They’re a bit pricier than flash drives, but we don’t think that you’ll ever lose it.
Lastly, this website featuring a competition of ‘who wore it best’ is possibly the cutest we’ve ever seen. Two guys from Philly are competing with each other to see who wears a tie the best every work day in October. They also have to wear a shirt with some sort of collar. Go take a look. It’s cute. We promise.
Talley ho!
Oh god dammit. I had to work, but I hope to god it was this black cape, seen here at the Met Costume Institute Gala:
Because how many black capes can one man own? Wait, don’t answer that. Confirmation from anyone who was there?

The September Issue—a documentary about the months leading up the September issue of Vogue—premiered at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend to great praise. Filmed by R.J. Cutler, the film focuses on notoriously hard-assed editrix Anna Wintour’s contributions to the fashion issue. Here’s a clip of Cutler and Wintour’s Q&A. Wintour seems shockingly sweet (though she does take credit for the conception of the doc). Is the flick as good as The Devil Wears Prada (which I caught on FX this weekend and god DAMN do I want to punch Anne Hathaway at the end of that movie)? You’ll have to wait and see for yourself.
