Happy Halloween, my pretties. Today is about the silly, the fun, the sweet, the young at heart.

When things get crazy and you start to feel lost in this world, stylewise and otherwise, take an Audrey moment. An Audrey Hepburn moment that is.

A class act with loads of style and a heart of gold daaaahling, thinking of Holly Golightly finding Love In the Afternoon on a Roman Holiday makes us smile and puts everything into perspective.

It also reminds us that personal style has nothing at all to do with label or price. A handy reminder these days, indeed.

Right now, we're asking ourselves 'what would Audrey wear to a holiday party if she weren't given money for the powder room?'

Answer: this simple, playful, charming black dress, for less than $50. Clever and beautiful, just like Audrey herself.

Today, we continue the all-important mission.

Last night while getting dressed for dinner, I realized I was totally channeling Chuck Bass with my salmon pink Ralph Lauren button-down, navy blazer, dark plaid skirt and green-and-black chevron patterned scarf. This amused me to no end, as it was completely unintentional, but he is my favorite Gossip Girl character and the one with the most interesting style.

Deciding we were too tired to actually go out for dinner but needing to run an errand in the cold San Francisco night nonetheless, I traded my skirt for some Cheap Monday skinnies and instantly fell over laughing as I realized I looked exactly like a Jonas brother.

My point? You sometimes don't even realize who you're influenced by.

Lucky for us, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen put a little bit more thought into who their influences are, and sat down and interviewed their fave designers and artists (Diane von Furstenberg, Karl Lagerfeld, Lauren Hutton, Christian Louboutin, among others) in their new coffee table tome Influence.

At a time where we could all use a little inspiration, the book couldn't be more perfect.

Mary Kate and Ashley's mission? To inspire you to follow your passion and do what brings you happiness.

Despite sleeping more than half the weekend away since returning from our trip to Europe, we're still feeling like we can barely lift our heads up. Le sigh. Post-vacay letdown? Jet lag? The incessant banging of construction workers mixed with Tejano music coming from our neighbor's roof? Time to up the meds -- and the cupcakes?

Who knows.

All we do know is we're in total need of a pick-me-up and sense that you are too.

Helping to lift our spirits and hopefully yours?

Studio Violet, the fab new collab between Sweden-based artists Camilla Engman and Elisabeth Dunker.

Featuring the sweetest drawings and prints (we are so in love with Katta) on posters, postcards and journals, the best part is you can lift your spirits for less than $25.

We highly recommend scoring the six-pack of postcards for just $11 before they sell out. Frame and hang in your entryway for an instant upper (how can you not smile when greeted by Katta and friends)?

Get happy here.

We don't know about you, but all this talk about harsh economic times just makes us crave some serious retail therapy.

On the upside, there are some ah-may-zing deals to be had right now.

Like all of the gorgeous shoes, handbags and clothing marked down up to 70% off at the eLuxury final clearance sale.

If you like designer and indie designer goods, you'll likely flip your lid -- or at least illicit stares from you coworkers due to your incessant mouse clicking -- over the deals on Marc Jacobs, Loeffler Randall, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Rag&Bone, Opening Ceremony, Hollywould, Tod's, Twenty8Twelve, L.A.M.B., Giuseppe Zanotti, Juicy Couture, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Tracy Reese and more.

We say invest the money you have left in something you can see -- shoes, bags, clothes, looking like a million bucks -- here at eLuxury.

We first spotted this awesome Donna Wilson pillow over a year ago, when the then new shop Eden and Eden opened its doors in San Francisco. We desperately wanted to share it with you here on BussBuss, along with the many other quirky, exclusive international wares that we couldn't find anywhere else in the States, but they never had an online shop. Until now.

Along with the Blah Blah Blah pillow -- a sentiment we're really feeling today, you can also find a tightly edited selection of cool vintage clutches and bags, home decor goodies, t-shirts, dresses, jewelry, other accessories and more.

Check out the new online shop Eden & Eden here!

Blah blah blah.

In need of party shoes that will make you (and those around you) weak in the knees they're so pretty, but don't want to shell out Loubie prices?

Meet Luichiny's Duchess Sandal.

Worn by our own editrix Kelly Lee this weekend at a wedding in The Hamptons, she says the be-bowed lovelies literally had girls on their knees inspecting them and snapping photos (new trend: shoe paparazzi!).

She also notes that they're surprisingly comfy too, wearing them for a good six hours before feeling any aches. BussBuss tested and approved!

Available in a slew of colors (we're partial to the elegant dark champagne), they come in whole sizes (if you're a half size, we recommend going up) and, best of all, are available at our new fave shoe site Endless, an Amazon offspring.

Why? You get FREE overnight shipping and free returns too, so order them now and you'll have them tomorrow. If they don't work out for any reason, simply put them back in the box, attach the included pre-paid shipping label and hand back to your mailman, receptionist, personal umbrella handler... The best kind of online shopping in our opinion.

Treat your feet to a big dose of gorgeous right here!

p.s. Holiday party season is only a month away -- these will get you through with style and envy (gotta love that holiday spirit!).

We believe a girl deserves to look her very best, even when covered in cupcake batter. Especially when covered in cupcake batter.

Which is why we're so smitten with The Hip Hostess.

The debut line of chic and cheery aprons and tea towels conjures up images of Mad Men's Betty Draper. And with Thanksgiving and the holiday season right around the corner (can you believe it?!), they make the most darling hostess and holiday gifts for all the Martha-wannabes in your fabulous life. And all the mini-Marthas too, as kid sizes are also available (why not snag a matching set for your fave mom/daughter duo?).

And because you deserve a break, The Hip Hostess is giving BussBuss readers an exclusive 20% off with code BUSSHH20 through October 10, 2008.

Head to The Hip Hostess!
