Make your Friday desk a little fancier
Eva Chen of Lucky magazine keeps Tiffany's chocolates and a fluffy lamb on her desk. As the weekend approaches, clear your workspace of all those gross old coffee mugs and bulging file folders, so you can focus on the little things that bring you stillness, peace, and joy.

Start the Halloween party with your fingers
Are you dying over these Bittersweet NY rings or what? Not only are they perfect for Halloween festivities, but you can wear them all year round — one for you, one for your boo.

Burn a little sage to keep the ghosts away
Halloween isn't for everyone and that's just fine. Feeling the urge to cleanse your space? Walk slowly around your apartment with a bundle of smoking sage to drive away the ghosts.

Get weird with accessories
Some might say that a high collar, red lipstick, a jeweled headband, and a veil verges on overpowering — but Rihanna doesn't care. And she'll pair it with a fire-engine manicure, too.

Stay home and decorate
Maybe this is one of those hole-up-in-bed weekends where you'll only leave the apartment for coffee and won't talk to a soul. Don't be afraid to let yourself nest.
Pro tip: Tons of meaningful scraps taped to the wall always looks happier than one really expensive painting.

Steal from the boys
Baseball hat? Crisp collar? Evasive but meaningful-sounding sweatshirt? Menswear looks good on you, too. (And if you like it so much that you want to go as a bad boy for Halloween, more bro power to you.)
Alternative Friday night mission: Find a man with cheekbones this defined.

Pull out ALL YOUR HATS
Beanies! Knits! Furry! Messy hair! So cute! When it comes to cozy fall hats, there's no point in complete sentences.

Tell neon, "I just can't quit you"
It's okay, we can't stop wearing neon, either, even though it's totally time for "fall" colors.

Balance vice with virtue
Yin and yang, darling. And if you can make it all the way to Sunday night with the languor of a '90s supermodel, you will have officially conquered the weekend.
