After work tonight I’m jumping on a plane to Colorado. It’s homecoming weekend for my college (GO BUFFS!) so there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. My college friends and I have stayed very close even though we live all over the country. This is one of the greatest joys in my life! I also can’t wait for a little fall weather and some fall leaves! Take a glance below at my links from this week because there are lots of fun Halloween links and some really amazing sales going on this weekend (hint: Kate Spade, Anthropolgie, J.Crew, Saks Fifth Avenue & Revolve).
Highlights:
1. Allure Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief talks about dealing with tough bosses, career moves to get ahead, and staying innovative in this lovely interview. (thecoveteur.com)
2. Read this now if you struggle with your skin (as I do). It included super interesting information from Cara Delevigne’s esthetician. She lists ice as a cure… you know you want to find out how it helps! (manrepeller.com)
