Five Links

So a non-fashion post. Just a few links :) Back to fashion tomorrow, or really later today.

1. Some tips and tricks to learn people's names: Lifehacker

2. Some sobering thoughts about a hostage situation at the Discovery Channel building outside DC. A man took 3 hostages who all came out unharmed but the man's reasoning is disturbing in the worst way: Washington Examiner

3. An old favorite story that we read in 6th grade but that's stayed with me ever since. Raise those who are least advantaged rather than bringing the best down: Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron

4. An incredibly interesting conversation series with Christopher Hitchens about anything and everything: The Atlantic

5. I wouldn't be me if this post had nothing at all fashion related. I'm sort of lusting after this dress!! Shopbop

Thanks to We Heart It for the image.
