October is my favorite month, so I’m sad to leave it behind. But before we file it away for good, let’s recap, shall we? Fashion just had its big night out earlier this week for the CFDA Fashion Awards, celebrities are having a field day with their Halloween costumes, and we revealed the one and only Kylie Jenner as ELLE’s November cover star.
