Last week was NY Fashion Week (missed it? Get the complete rundown or just check out the most horrific looks). And this week, we’re treating you to our inaugural Fashion Week @ The Daily Muse! (What? An entire seven days of 9-to-5 style inspiration? We know. We’re excited too.) So to kick it off, here’s a round-up of some of our favorite fashion finds to enjoy over your (hopefully three-day) weekend:

Design Your Own Shoes
Ever find the perfect dress—then wish you could find just the right shoes to go with it? Problem solved with Shoes of Prey, which lets you design your own! Customize literally everything about your footwear—the style, heel height and color, material, pattern, embellishments, lining, you name it. And even if you’re not in the market for shoes in the $200-ish range, playing fashion designer is 100% free (and 100% entertaining).

A Day in the Life of DVF
If Fashion Week (and all that shoe designing) has got you thinking about a new career path, get the goods on what it’s like to be a fashion exec with this Harper’s Bazaar piece following a day in the life of Diane von Furstenberg. Read about her wild younger days, the business mistakes she’s made and overcome, and the perks of being a fashion icon. (Yes, they do include Swarovski crystal-encrusted staircases—in case you were wondering.)
And if you need to remind yourself it’s not all fun and glamorous, check out these fashion internship horror stories for the other end of the fashion career spectrum.

Give Yourself a Spunky Manicure
If you’re having a girls’ night in (or just have an hour to kill), get some serious nail inspiration from the lovely Maegan at …Love Maegan. We especially dig this cool striped manicure (which, done in subtle colors, would even be office-appropriate).

Shop:
Scour President’s Day Sales
Even if you didn’t score an extra day off this President’s Day weekend, you can still score some sweet shopping deals. Lucky gives us a round-up of all the great deals that are happening (all available from the comfort of your couch).
