Topshop + Kate Moss
And yes, yet another cool collaboration – Topshop and of cause Kate Moss. Already in September this grunge inspired collection will be available in all of Topshop stores. There is plenty of this season trends such as silk and wool knitted dresses, leather pencil skirts, sequin playsuits or that amazing long leather coat and many more.
I personally find that her collections just look right when I mix her pieces and great seasonal designer investments like Burberry bag or McQueen scarf.
Looking at this collection my picks would be: flame mesh halter black dress (~110$), sequin gray waterfall vest (~70$), military style cardigan (~100$), jeweled jacket (~240$).

Pierre Hardy for GAP
I’m glad to announce yet another collaboration of the French shoes (and bags) designer, Pierre Hardy and American clothing line, Gap. With the successful previous collections in mind I have great expectations. This time, we are expecting suede ankle boots with high heels and platform. There will be slight variations of the main theme: diverse colors and slightly different models. I think these shoes will be good addition to my fall wardrobe! The collection will be available in mid September in Gap stores across the globe.

Polaroid is back!
When I found out that Polaroid factory was closed for good in 2008, I had been depressed for months. The entire concept of instant photos is amazing and so appealing to me – 5 seconds and the photo is ready! Ok, you would say that with today’s super small digital cameras and compatible printers there shouldn’t be people who regret the fermeture of Polaroid. So, until this morning I thought that I was the only person in the world who dreamed about reinvention or possible rebirth of instant photography, oh better say, a device that will do both: take a picture and print it. To my grandiose surprise I have learned this morning that ex-workers at Polaroid finally decided to buy over all the equipment at the old factories and get back Polaroid on the market by 2010! They call it THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT -what a great idea!
Another good news is that while we are waiting for 2010 to arrive, THE IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT collaborate with Urban Outfitters to retail over 700 Polaroid kits coming from the sold factory stocks. Every kit is numerated by hand and consists of a vintage Polaroid camera (One600 Classic model) amd one refill paper. You can purchase it at Urban Outfitters selected stores on August 21st and in all the rest of the stores on August 28th across Canada and USA.

3 in 1 Boots: Object of desire
As many of us have not yet recovered from the economical crisis but still want to follow the latest trends in fashion, luxury brands don’t stop to surprise us with their innovative ways to save money. This time it’s Louis Vuitton which launches this fall its Seduction boots collection. LV offers its customers to purchase one pair of footwear instead of three using the concept of “3 in 1″. Well, first of all it’s this season’s hot knee-high boots, then they easily transform into classical boots, all you have to do is to unzip their upper part. And by doing so the second time, you will get the third variation on the theme – trendy ankle boots. There are several versions of Seduction boots available: leather or suede, high heels or flats. In addition, on the outer side of these boots there is a small pocket which can substitute for a clutch or wallet if needed! I think there are enough reasons why these boots are on my fall shopping list! So harry up and get yourself a pair of transformers!

True LOVE
When I think about Pamela Love,the first things that comes to my mind are Zac Posen’s runway jewelry for fall ‘09 and Marchesa spring-summer ‘09 collection. However apparently this New York jewelry designer is known mostly because True Blood’s (did not even know about the existence of this TV show before) character, Eric has Eagle Claw Necklace from Love’s collection. 
Now I know that this show is about vampires what makes Pamela Love the perfect choice in accessorizing True Blood’s wardrobe. Her silver, gold and interestingly brass creations which primary consist of claws, bones, craniums, organs are dark, macabre and at times bloodcurdling, so it’s not surprising that TV vampires wear them.
Looking at Love’s designs I am particularly attracted to heart pendant, bird skull necklace and of cause bird talon bracelet.
However I can not forget about the amazing job she has done for Posen’s fall ‘09 collection. The rock’n'roll hairbands and sward earrings are all to be spotted this fall.
