Every gal needs to get her beauty rest, this is true. But for the lady who likes a little fright in her good night's sleep, this RIP Eye Mask that I recently picked up from BibBon will let event the darkest darling get a little shut-eye. 

 
Tiny flowers give a bit of girly flair to the skulls and barbed wire pattern, and with an extra layer of cotton batting, your dreams will be comfortably frightful!

What's your take on this ghoulish eye mask? Is it too creepy for you? Or do you like the gothic look of it? Get in on the discussion with other readers of styleFLASH by leaving your comments.

Now that summer is officially over, it's the perfect time to indulge in the tactile fabrics of fall.

Designer Terry Graziano has combined luxe textures of wool and tweed with an autumn palette of chocolate, lavender and graphite in sophisticated ladylike hats.

The idea that every design can be worn in a variety of ways is sheer brilliance.

In some, like my favorite - the Capricious, you can get 3, 4 or five different looks out of the same piece just with the flip of a brim, or jaunty tilt of the cap, making the price of these gorgeous creations an absolute steal!

Top off your fall wardrobe with these decidedly feminine hats that are versatile and unabashedly romantic.
