Because we all have to cut corners every now and then...

• Earlier this week, Harry Styles celebrated the Norwegian russefeiring graduation tradition by sporting a blindfold over his baby blues... except that he skipped the actual graduating part. {E! Online}

Google Glass is the wearable computer of the future, y'all! But for those of us who don't have $1,500 in pocket change, here’s what the experience actualllly looks like. {Mashable}

• Pants are superfluous, really. That's why Leandra Medine (aka The Man Repeller) just up and wore undies to brunch.
{The Man Repeller}

Selfridges, the U.K. department store, is introducing the world's first retail drive-thru. Yep, now you can legit go shopping without leaving your car. {Huffington Post}

• Fact: dude with a guitar > dude without a guitar. No really, there's scientific proof behind the “accessory” that automatically makes a fella more attractive. {The Cut}

Just when we think we have 'em figured out, they go and pull a fast one on us.

Ellie Goulding postponed a few shows on her Halcyon tour to run the Nike Women Half Marathon in D.C., raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In addition to being a total BAWSE, she dished about her workout style and running playlist! {Refinery 29}

• When designer Tory Burch isn't building her uptown-chic empire of ballet flats, she's jamming out to the one and ONLY, Tupac. Perhaps there's a double meaning in those iconic "T" emblems? {Racked}

• Indie darling Sufjan Stevens might have a history with outrageous performance outfits, but one time in college, he published a scathingly honest guide to fashion dos and dont's. Take heed, y'all. {BuzzFeed}

Zach Galifianakis took a break from his SNL rehearsals to profess a new-found passion for nail art. He's so serious about it, he got a $400 manicure that includes a sticker of Justin Bieber's face. {SNL}

• And in a new low for millennials: some college senior thought it would be a good idea to bring her cat to an interview at American Eagle corporate. (¬¬) Come onnnnn. {Complex}

Whether you're all cartoon hearts or ridin' solo, this week the links are all about LURVE.

• According to Selena Gomez, BFF Taylor Swift throws “Lonely Girls Club” parties for all her single friends where they eat junk food and play with Meredith, and it maybe looks like this. {Perez Hilton}

{Ad Week}

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding get cute and cuddly as on-screen lovahs (wearing nothing but bed sheets) in their music video for “I Need Your Love." {Calvin Harris VEVO}

This week the links are all about sneak peeks, inside looks, and living vicariously.

• Suffice it to say, emulating anything Beyoncé is a considerable feat, but the Melody Ehsani-designed nail wraps that Bey wore in her Pepsi commercial are actually available to us mere worshipers AND a manageable $16! {InStyle}

CFDA and Tumblr just launched a series where top fashion bloggers get to visit the not-so-humble digs of famed designers. Internet and a little inspiration, man! 'Sall you need! {Fashionista}

• A Russian designer sent topless models down the runway in headpieces that resemble equal parts Mufasa and the surface of Mars. {Styleite}

• Because vixen is as vixen does, Chrissy Teigen wore a sheer black dress to the Jeffrey Fashion Cares fundraiser. Those solid panels over her lady parts look like censor signs, amirite? {Jezebel}

• Crop tops may have been against dress code in high school, but in the 1890s, so were your bare ankles. {Fashionista}

• Proving once again infallible, Janelle Monáe landed on the cover of Essence to aver, “Showing my skin is not what makes me sexy.” {Essence}

• YouTube tutorials are a godsend, but because we’d rather you not end up with literal side burns, here's a round-up of the top hairstyling how-to videos. {Fashionista}

• Chances are, your favorite lace dress has at some point gotten caught to your bracelet, bag, another human, etc. Enter: lace's cool, low-maintenance, snag-free cousin.
{She Finds}

We all have subjects that make us rant, and this week, the links are all about causes worth knowing.

• Knock-offs, beware! The CFDA and eBay rounded up 90 big-name designers to create tote bags that insist the honest truth: "You Can't Fake Fashion." {InStyle}

• We forever salute our bra-burning sisters of second-wave yesteryear, but now you can make a feminist statement just by applying lip gloss. Yup, uh HUH, I'll take it. {Refinery 29}

Topshop and PETA team up to create window displays urging you to, please, keep lions and tigers out of your wardrobe. {Racked}

• In more news about the ethical treatment of animals, real fur is being mis-labeled as... fake? Shady business, faux-real. {Fashionista}

You don’t have to be Imelda Marcos or Cinderella to appreciate why this isn't your ordinary news about shoes.

• According to J.Crew's queen supreme Jenna Lyons, there are two types of shoes: "Shiny Ponies" and "Ugly Dollies." A delicious behind-the-scenes video explains. {Racked National}

Obviously there is a shoe for every neighborhood in NYC. And whether or not you're a city dweller, this handy guide 1.) exists and 2.) is fantastically accurate. {Refinery 29}

Vans continues to dominate capsule collections by teaming up with Comme des Garçons. We're hoping that the shoe makes it stateside because it's just plain pretty. {Highsnobiety}

Ugg boots have never been completely immune to derision, but the folks at the Conservative Political Action Conference have some very specific thoughts about them. {The Cut}

• And finally, we are much obliged to share this public service announcement for all sneakerheads with Instagram shortcomings. {Complex}

Even the heaviest of hitters take a hit once in a while. But it aint over ‘til it’s over.

+Rachel Zoe was not impressed with the Page Six blasphemy (printed back in August) about her collection's low sales. But such misfortune makes for reality TV greatness, so Zoe took to the airwaves to silence dem h8rs!
{via The Hollywood Reporter}

+The latest issue of CR Fashion Book suggests that editrix Carine Roitfeld went back on her word to never feature a cigarette in an editorial. Oh, Irreverent Carine!
{via Fashionista}

+Hedi Slimane’s divisive Saint Laurent collection prompted confusion during Paris Fashion Week, but the collection was christened by one of fashion's top bananas, swiftly making popular opinion trivial.
{via Racked National}

+We'll defend our boy Justin to the death, so let it be known that Biebsy went shirtless on his birthday for mere practical reasons, okay?
{via Justin Bieber's Twitter}

+And if you're ever just having a DAY and find yourself on the receiving end of a disingenuous, “Smile, sweetie!”, the below is for you.
