There's nothing more satisfying than a round up of fashion happenings on a Friday afternoon--really, it's like getting ready before prom.  The Budget Fashionista wrote about the Hayden Harnett for Target handbags--soon to hit shelves.

The Budget Fashionista wrote about the Hayden Harnett for Target handbags--soon to hit shelves. Like Anya Hindmarch we're enchanted by bags from both price points. 

Last time we went to deal with our taxes, our outfit wasn't something you'd exactly call fashionable. Kingdom of Style shows us all up in her remarkably affordable, errand-running outfit

M.I.S.S. Crew hits up a pop-up in Costa Mesa with ever-changing artwork--this time around, the space is decorated with artwork from Greg "PNUT" Galinsky. If we lived in California we might have a clue who this Mr. PNUT was.  

The mother of all Friday afternoon links...Stylebubble goes to a press preview for Topshop Spring 09. Buy a hat and hold on to it.

Now that we've all that costumery and rambunctiousness out of our systems, our Network Partners are getting serious and their posts are full of exciting fashion happenings... December is one of the only months we actually attempt magazine reading, thanks to the holiday travel, and today Fashionologie got us excited for the December edition of British Vogue which will count as Kate Moss's 26th cover for the magazine.  If you're carrying a Goyard tote, chances are you're happy to have your label showing in the first place.

If you're carrying a Goyard tote, chances are you're happy to have your label showing in the first place. M.I.S.S. Crew gave a shoutout to the newest limited edition offerings from the French company which will benefit cancer research at auction.

A new brand is on our radar thanks to Catwalk Queen. Tinc by Savannah Koop is minimalist brand from San Francisco with a particularly juicy backstory

Fashion Binge brings some humor to our Monday afternoon by criticizing Urban Outfitters owned Free People and their questionable sense of style. Hit or miss, we do agree.

The theme for today's Coutorture Community Must Reads is F-U-N, because we've spent the entire day being super stressy about all that's going on in Paris (information overload!)--must reads are "must reads" for a reason.  Denimology found out about a pair of tie dyed Siwy's the old fashioned way: via the designer's myspace page.

Denimology found out about a pair of tie dyed Siwy's the old fashioned way: via the designer's myspace page. We've been longtime Siwy fans, in case you missed our Spring 08 photo shoot entitled "A Siwy Summer". The reverse of light and dark indigo on this pair has our interest piqued. 

M.I.S.S. Crew posted their October spread today-bringing, as usual, some much needed humor to our serious mood. The Paris shows might be amazing to watch but sometimes all you're looking for is a new desktop image and some street wear you can actually afford.

Cuffinton's Halloween costume is something out of a David Lynch television show. More fun & fashion brought to you by our bloggers. Seriously, we need to get out more.  

Buffalo check? Er, check! Fashion Weakley found herself rallying all the examples of this effect to get us all riled up for those Fall 08 cozies. We're going to insert a buffalo check button down into our perpetual wintertime daydream where we're singing karaoke in long johns and motorcycle boots, looking rosy-cheeked and super low-key. Did we just say that out loud?

To wrap up today's content we're going to give you a sneak peak at what's happening over in Coutortureland. We've a big shoot on our hands and one that will go live just in time for your fall shopping trips and pre-fashion week expenditures. Our shoot, though we won't reveal too much, will cover the fall trends at price points high and low. Our Network Partner, Liz Baca from the website M.I.S.S. Crew, is helping us style so we'll be sure to include an interview with Baca on how she put together the looks for the shoot. Have yourselves a wonderful weekend and stay tuned for all things fall, all the way until the Spring 09 shows get underway.
