Happy October, everyone! As we begin to move into October and the coziness of fall, we find ourselves with the sun in Libra (later moving into Scorpio), and with our transit through Libra, diplomacy, relationships, balance, and beauty rule the month. Libra is a Venus-ruled sign, and unlike the transit through her counterpart, Aries (ruled by Mars), we may feel it’s easier to slip into harmonious relations or even indecision around major life events this month. With Libra, our focus shifts to our impact on others, not just ourselves. Libra is more likely to think of others or stay in the middle to avoid discord, and you can try this for the month if you’d like.

Libra is also a sign that rules aesthetics and beauty, so beautifying your life, wardrobe, or regimen in some way are all ruled here. Read on to see your horoscope for the Libra transit this month!

"When they are measuring the length for your bustle, make sure you put on the shoes you want to dance in, rather than the ones you're doing the ceremony in. I had them do the length and the bustle with my 4-inch heels on, and then, when I wanted to dance with flats, my dress dragged on the ground. Another alternative that I never seriously considered, but wish I had, was changing into a short dress for the super dance-y part of the night. It would have been simple to switch into a short dress for the last hour or two, but I was worried about looking high-maintenance with two dresses. Instead, I became high-maintenance by having to constantly pull up my dress as it dragged around the floor." –Sam

"I went to a lovely spa the weekend before my wedding. I was walking on a marble floor, there was a spill, and down I went. Cut to a purple and blue mottled foot and a severe sprain only days before my wedding. I had the dress of my dreams and the shoes to match, but I wound up under the chuppa in pristine while Nikes!" –Thea

As sad as it is to say so long to summer, fall brings its own set of things to look forward to—especially for the fashion-minded. The cooler weather calls for more layering, investing in statement jackets, and figuring out fresh ways to style the season's newest pieces. But while we embrace autumn—and its broader range of sartorial possibilities—that doesn't mean we completely abandon everything we loved about summer, namely some staple pieces that can work their way into our fall wardrobes with the right styling.

The denim skirt is a summer staple that looks just as cool (if not cooler) going into fall. On the streets of fashion week, fashion girls have been demonstrating the best denim-skirt outfits for fall. Short hemlines juxtaposed with oversize sweaters and cold-weather boots make for an instant cool-girl outfit, while denim skirts in longer iterations provide a more elevated (and seasonally fitting) take on the laid-back trend. Head below to see the denim-skirt outfits fashion girls are wearing this fall.

Pretty much any trend from the past is ripe for a comeback these days. It may take years, but eventually, you'll find said item in your wardrobe rotation once again. The latest accessories trend to make its resurgence? The sunglass chain.

Looma Jewelry has officially made your granny's glasses chains cool again. Not only are the chains stylish (they come in an array of colors and sizes), but they are practical too.

"I created the sunglass chain line because I saw a need for the product. I realized I wasn't the only one who has a sincere attachment to my favorite sunglasses and an ongoing habit of losing them. All of the similar products on the market did not scream quality or style. I wanted to create a line of minimal and chic sunglass chains that looked no different than a piece of jewelry you would wear for many years." says founder Kristina Steelman.

With everything priced under $75, you can try the trend without breaking the bank. Think of it as jewelry for your sunglasses.

Unless you've been hiding away on a deserted island for the past couple of months, you're probably acutely aware that red is the reigning It color for fall. But with the S/S 18 shows still in full swing, new color trends are presenting themselves on the regular, and the latest one to make a case for spring's It color trend is on the opposite side of the color wheel from red: mint green. 

While it's certainly been big in previous years, this soft pastel has been quite under-the-radar in recent seasons, but thanks in part to the Stockholm-based Acne Studios, that could all change soon. The pretty, optimistic hue adorned many of the pieces that came down the runway, in the form of fluid suits, maxi dresses, knitwear, and outerwear. Pastels for spring aren't exactly groundbreaking, but this is one that feels particularly fresh given its recent absence. 

Keep scrolling to see some of the mint green examples from today's Acne Studios show in Paris, along with the collection in full.

We've been reviewing all the street style moments from New York Fashion Week, and there seems to be one shoe trend popping up more than any other: pointy-toe boots. Whether you prefer an ankle boot style or an above-the-knee rendition, we've got you covered in our roundup below.

If you weren't actually in New York during the most recent slew of shows during fashion week, you were probably following along on fashion's favorite social media app: Instagram. So much of the week's festivities were documented that it's easy to feel like you were really there just by tapping through stories and liking and commenting on all the cool content in your feed. All that content actually amounted to something when you look at how well certain posts did. Thanks to a report by Curalate, we discovered what the top fashion posts of the week were, and it totally confirmed what we already knew: Red is the only color that matters this season.

With a total of 87,000 engagements, the number two post during NYFW was an image the Coach account posted of a beaming Selena Gomez at the Coach x Selena event in New York, an embellished red bomber jacket draped oh so cooly around her shoulders. It's no surprise this particular photo did well: Selena is the most followed account on the app, and fans are well aware of her partnership with the leather goods brand. Coming in just after Coach with 80,000 engagements was a post by Victoria Beckham of a red-hot look that she sent down her S/S 18 runway, which she captioned simply, "#VBSS18." So there's no longer any doubt in our minds that this color is the most popular among fashion insiders, on the runway, and for fans and customers too.

Paris isn’t the only city where fashion shows were happening last night. In fact, right in Lincoln Center, at the New York City Ballet Fall Gala, there was major design magic happening—on a very different stage. As a part of the annual event, co-chaired by Sarah Jessica Parker, choreographers were paired with some of the fashion industry's biggest stars—including Virgil Abloh of Off-White and Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim of Monse—to debut new work, and new costumes. But the inspired style didn’t stop upon the curtain closing.

As the crowd moved into the evening’s gala, we watched first hand as dancers shifted from their stage personas to some of the most stylish partygoers in attendance. With this in mind, we called upon a few of them to find out their best black-tie-style advice, as well as how they translate their creativity to a very different medium. Not to mention, as the experts on all things grace and poise, they gave us the dos and don'ts of embracing a bit of it, without a single barre warm-up.

Ahead, take a look at how ballerinas transformed from the stage to the party scene, as well as how choreographers and some of your favorite designers came together for one of the coolest collaborations this season.

We get excited with each new sneaker collaboration because we truly feel that there can be no end to the amount of cute sneakers out there to choose from. From the new Nike sneakers an exec calls "mind blowing" to the best-selling Vans that fashion-girls love, we're pretty committed to keeping you constantly updated on the latest in the sneaker world. Nothing makes us happier than when the comfiest option is also the most stylish. So when our favorite UK-based e-tailer teamed up with Reebok on a sneaker collab, we knew the results would be something worth talking about.

ASOS WHITE, the Asos brand known for its clean and cool minimal vibe, created three styles with the sneaker company that are making us already look forward to spring. You can, of course, buy any of the sneakers right now, but the white eyelet and light blue pinstripe finishes are giving us springtime vibes more than anything. Two of the styles are the low-top Reebok shapes that are iconic of Reebok, while the third pair is a cool high-top sneaker with thin velcro straps and a bold graphic stripe pattern. Well, done ASOS WHITE and Reebok. Your new sneakers: found.

If you're in search of a new coffee table book (of epic proportions), then you're in luck. The highly-anticipated book, The Essential Marilyn Monroe, will officially be available for purchase come Sunday, and in it's pages, you'll find over 250 stunning (sometimes never before seen) photographs of one of Hollywood's most iconic stars—Marilyn Monroe.

The book provides an intimate look into the her life, in large part because the man behind the lens, Milton H. Greene, was a close friend of the actress. From film-sets to the privacy of her own home, the images shine light on the many facets of Marilyn's life. 

One photograph, in particular, is considered to be the rarest of them all. Marilyn, set against a black backdrop and clothed in what appears to be a black robe, seemingly disappears into the background, only her legs, hands, and face visible. And after it was published in Look Magazine, it was never seen again—until now.

While the photographs were taken by Milton H. Greene, they were actually restored and catalogued by his son, Joshua Greene. Through his efforts, Joshua has created a lasting tribute (20 years in the making) to the work of his father, as well as his father's greatest muse—Marilyn. 

Scroll down to get a sneak peak at some of the stunning photographs featured in this book, and then add it to your collection when it officially becomes available for purchase on Sunday.

There has been no shortage of head-turning looks from Bella Hadid both on and off the runways this fashion month. Fantastical designer confections aside, we've paid close attention to her off-duty staples—and one that's remained steadfast is a particular pair of ankle boots.

With a sock-like silhouette and trend-right pointed toes, her Sol Sana boots fit the bill as a worthy investment this fall. Even better? The under-$200 price tag—with a slew of options upward of $500 this season—feels like a more pragmatic choice, without sacrificing any of the excitement. Bella has already been spotted twice in the style, and we doubt she'll stop there. (We, too, have envisioned a handful of outfits to wear them with, and we don't even own them… yet.)

During what is considered one of the most exciting (and highly-anticipated) times in the fashion industry—fashion month, of course—we spend a lot of our time sifting through all of the new creations designers unveil. And while the looks on the runway always provide serious outfit inspiration (especially in the seasons to come), it's those spotted off-the-runway that often offer another glimpse into what's currently trending. 

So today's fashion focus is on Victoria Beckham, designer, mother, and modern style icon. We have always been very outspoken for our admiration of the former Spice Girl (and kept a close eye on all of her standout ensembles), but there is a particular two-piece outfit combination she has been wearing a lot this month—and no, it's not jeans and a T-shirt.

Throughout September, it seems Victoria has swapped her denim for flowy, full-length skirts, and her casual shirts for sleek, often times sheer, button-ups. Sometimes paired with pumps, sometimes with knee-high boots, she's found the perfect outfit combo for when you're in the mood to dress up without being too overdone.

Plus, the skirt and button-up pairing perfectly fuses femininity with minimalism—something that was also very prominent in her SS 18 collection. Well done, Victoria!
