I am absolutely loving this new line by designer Natalie Wood, Something else. Something Else fulfils Wood’s desire to combine creative disciplines, collaborating on collections with highly respected artists such as Georgina Cullum, Deanne Cheuk, Michaela Saunders, Skullux, Fontaine Anderson and Tara Marynowski. We are loving all of these new looks and can hardly wait to show the Spring 2010 collection. 
Model Erin Wasson is launching a lower priced costume jewelry line entitled LowLuv. The line, set to launch September 11th at her runway show for Erin Wasson x Rvca, will include 25 styles, including rings, necklaces and bangles in base metal plated in gold or silver, all inspired by the Southwestern desert. Erin’s goal is appeal to customers who’ve ”been lusting after the expensive stuff but could never afford it”
WWD asked several prominent American designers their thoughts on the upcoming Spring 2010 runway and buying season and here are their reactions:
“It’s a heightened state of emotion. It’s a very challenging, exciting time, and you need all your wits behind you. It’s not the ‘same-old.’ It’s a complete wake-up call. It’s time to test all your assets.” - Donna Karan
It’s a “moment in time when you have to enjoy what you are doing to the fullest. I haven’t let the economic climate affect the process or the pleasure of the creative process.” - Narciso Rodriguez
“I feel the economy has bottomed out in a way. The freak-out has happened, and while things are not back to what they used to be, perhaps they were inflated in a way. Perhaps this is a correction of sorts.” - Lazaro Hernandez (Proenza Schouler)
“Last fall, people still didn’t know where things were going, and after the shows, everything collapsed. I am optimistic because there is such a feeling of change in the air, from the new administration and the progress that has been happening, and the feeling that we are slowly coming out of the recession — one that could have been worse.” - Derek Lam
“You can’t disassociate yourself from the economic or social climate of the time. That is part of the vernacular that you are working with. I always said that it’s the reason why Laura and I wanted to design clothes. We are independent designers so it’s always a struggle. But because you are compelled to make things, you just move forward. This season is no different.” - Kate Mulleavy (Rodarte)
“People are buying, but they are still careful and cautious, and they are not buying things they already have. If I am doing a jacket, I have to say, ‘How do I make a new jacket in a new silhouette? I am not making another black coat.’” - Jason Wu
Avoca is a great company that is dedicated to design, originality and quality. They are a family run and they pride them selves in being a little bit different, to being colourful and creative. They don't like to follow the flock so naturally their design studio is full of the quirkiest staff and lovely sideward thinking people.
The Vogue by Steven Meisel takes us two the world of the sophisticated upper-class lifestyle. This story revolves around women who indulge themselves in opulence and impeccable polish. It’s a wonderful editorial from those seductive silhouettes to those playful details, what’s there not to like about fashion from those bygone days.
The next editorial by the September issue of W Magazine dedicates itself towards a more flamboyant approach of the 40s era. Lara Stone, Guinevere van Seenus and Edita Vilkevicute spend a day out on a picnic and seductively enjoy themselves at the lake.
Those pieces of jewellery designer-sisters Danielle and Jodie Snyder of DANNIJO make a perfect addition to my endlessly long wishlist. You need to visit their online store and get smitten with their collections. While picking those adorable examples of their work, you’ll find more to-die for goodies.
Who says sequins are reserved for cocktail dresses and dance recitals? Take a cue fromRachel Bilson and Lauren Conrad and wear them during the day on your feet! Sequin pumps instantly update everything from skinny jeans to a little black dress. We love this multi-colored pair from Miu Miu. Shine on!
The timeless Frye style is a staple in any wardrobe. Paired up with a really fun and flirty dress or a pair of distressed jean shorts this is a fall must have piece. 
In addition to the more ladylike platform pump, the thigh-high boot is still going strong for fall. The shape can be either super skinny (Ã la Rodarte and Isabel Marant) or relaxed and easy (per Etro and Dries Van Noten); obviously the latter is a little more forgiving. 
The neckline of the moment isn't for the faint of heart, as it plunges nearly to the waist and turns the spotlight on your lingerie! This said, we love this look of a peek-a-boo lace bandeau or a simple triangle bra. Note to self: purchase an American Apparel triangle lace bra.
