Who wouldn’t want to wake-up, dress themselves in the autumn/winter 2009 collection of Erin Fetherston’s and follow her through the city streets?

Designer Erin Fetherston debuted her mini-film entitled “Birds of a Fether” today to show off a flock of looks from her current collection. The film takes inspiration from the Pied Piper and displays her whimsical and magical designs.

I for one cannot get the sparkly masks out of my head, and I plan to use the collection’s Silhouettes and tights as inspiration for my fall wardrobe.

Leave it to Vivienne Westwood to bring “back to school” fall fashion with an eclectic mix of school-girl chic and grungy outerwear layering ensembles. Westwood’s 2009, Fall Ready-To-Wear line prepares audiences for a windy and brisk fall season through messy and tousled draped scarves and cloaks, while still managing to present a highly eye-catching autumn look.

Without having to worry about the expense of getting such a look gather essential pieces, at bargain prices, that will mix-and-match throughout the season. Pieces such as a single breasted black blazer, black puffed mini, and extra long knitted scarves, along with key trend pieces, such as a bright pair of boots will have you ready to create endless number of looks for the coming season. This is “back to school” shopping that would make your mom proud.

After viewing the fall 2009 couture collection Givenchy presented a couple of weeks ago, I was intrigued by the Middle Eastern inspired hardware that one of the models wore down the runway. I love the idea of double-duty jewelry that act as both a bracelet and ring or necklace and earrings.

Free People has a fantastic chain vest that is made of brass, glass and stone which can also be converted to a belt or necklace that would perfectly illustrate this look. Not too long ago Rihanna sported a fab chain-link earring/necklace combo also along the same vein as the Givenchy collection.

Unexpected pieces such as the chain vest or earlace add a punch to any outfit with a bad-ass edge. For other reasonably priced options be sure to check-out some of the designs I found on Etsy.

High-waisted floral minis’ paired with wide patent leather waist belts add an edge to the typical feminine print, while fall’s must-have plaid tunic, tied together with a basic knotted leather belt and topped off with a layering of safari style trench and basic cardigan creates a easy outfit for any casual wearing occasion.

So put away those piggy banks because with these prices you can save all those coins for the parking meter.

I’m sorry but I can’t think of anything more heavenly than watching the Stunning Chanel ’10 Resort Collection march down the Venice Lido while the sun is setting. See the scene for yourself, but don’t interrupt me. I’m in my happy place.
