If you’re a fan of the gorgeous geometric abstract brights of designer Emilio Pucci, you’ll be thrilled with the summer capsule collection at H&M by British designer Matthew Williamson. Williamson recently had a very successful collaboration with Comme des Garcons, and he is bringing his keen sense of prints and brights that mix to this amazing collection for H&M.

One of the most beautiful examples is this classic “New Look” dress. With a nipped in waist and flowing, but not bulky skirt, this retro look shows exactly why the silhouettes of the 50s and 60s flattered the female figure so successfully. Made of silk, this dress is $129.00 at H&M.

The glam look of movie star sunglasses just got an infusion of color for summer 2009. Get a load of these gorgeous specs, also part of the Matthew Williamson capsule collection at H&M:

A pair of shiny patent finish shoes goes easily from dressing up your skinny jeans to punctuating a cool summer dress. This adorable style comes in four color combos: salmon with a black heart, lemon with a black heart, baby blue with a red heart, or pearl with a red heart. It’s hard to pick a favorite from among these! $185 at melissaaustralia.com

Finally, hats and scarves are fashionable for Summer 2009, and this seashell colored linen cap is an ultra cool way to top off your summer look. The “Valerie” is available in a number of colors and prints from Pandemoniumhats.com. With café colored band and buckle detail, $56.00.

Yes Fall is just around the corner. Alas if we are lucky we will have a glimpse of an Indian summer breaking into September up into early October. But still as the seasons change so does our wardrobe. I always feel a tang bit sad when fall comes around. The leaves start falling, awaiting the colder months ahead. But, I do love the colors of autumn. Which are rich in bold reds, sienna browns, yellows, and greens. These are the colors we can gain inspiration from! Even lilacs and lavenders, and blues are pushing forth their awesome colors. In the jewelry and accessories department. But what has Europe got going on in the fall department? Let’s find out!

THE FALL SHOE

High Boots

Knee-high or over-the-knee styles are best paired with mini lengths and go great with wool mini skirts. These long boots will take lightweight dresses into winter. And the Soft suede styles in the palest of hues are the feminine choice of the season.

THE FALL HANDBAG

Baby Bags

Wheter it’s Perspex boxes, pompoms, or frilled leather purses. The more fanciful your bag, the better! Don’t reserve these handbags just for evening outings – these little gems deserve to be displayed all day!

THE FALL JEWELRY & GLOVES

Costume Jewelry

From chunky wooden beads, giant Deco cuffs, and bold neck pieces… Jewelry comes super-sized! As long as it makes an impact, anything goes.

Gloves

Experiment with bold colors or try glossy black leather. The perfect glove length? Ending halfway up the forearm.
