Top 10 Fall Collections
Style.com just put out their Top 10 Collections from A/W '09, which includes not only the usual suspects like Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs, but also a few "surprises" like Erdem and Haider Ackerman. For the most part, I agreed with what they said about each individual designer and his or her collection, but I didn't agree with who they picked for the list. What can I say -- my tastes don't mesh perfectly with Vogue's.
So here's my Top 10, in no particular order:

Playing Catch Up
Been getting a little behind on the reviews lately, so here are a trio of mini-reviews for some relatively new creators. All style notes are included at the bottom of this post. Happy Shopping!
A newcomer on the scene is Pretties by JB, made by Jori Watler. These PBJ Boho Chic Mules are a really cute looking shoe, nice shape and texturing, shown here in Mocha Leather. Pretties also has some cute boots and accessories in store, so go check them out here.
Skin Flicks has been around for a while, but their shoe collection is still relatively unknown. These Jane Flats are perfectly sweet slim lined shoes. Available in multiple colors, these are a great casual shoe option from Mavis McGettigan. A visit to the Main Location is highly recommended.
Last but not least is the first major shoe release from DoC Eldritch and DE Designs. The DE DEvinci Boots are a great first offering, a sculpted boot with sexy calf hugging upper, in solids and subtle patterns with an oh-so-high heel. A great start from this talented designer, I am eager to see more. Visit DE Designs to take a closer look.
Looks like more than enough new offerings to tempt us, and more to come soon!
The Stuff; with PBJ Mules - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), Zero Style Kristin Hair (Chestnut), Savvy? Rouched Bustier (Bronze), Veschi Jeanius Pants (Black), Luc Tropical Wood Necklace, Sole Irregular Wood Bracelet. with Skin Flicks Flats - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), ETD Hayden 2 (Chestnut), Flat Cap Grey Tweed by The Hat Shop, DCNY Jaana Jacket (Gold), Starlet Leggings by Bijou. with DEvinci Boots - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), Zero Style Yoshino Hair (Chestnut), Annie One Piece Outfit (Gold) by Azul, Sole Irregular Wood Necklace (Wooden Chain) & Pierced Earrings, Bangles from Uzuri and Earthtones/Luc.

StyleCard: Kitties Lair Fran Wedge
The latest from Kitties Lair are a refreshingly casual wooden soled clog called the Fran Wedge. The Wedge comes in a variety of shades and 3 separate motifs; Plain, Floral and Tribal. The texturing is great with nice added details like the nail heads and rubber bottoms. These are a great looking shoe, and a sure sign that spring is on it's way.
