A top with too little fabric is a bad idea for a number of reasons. A top with a too much fabric, like this BCBG Chiffon Tie Front Blouse , $106, isn‘t quite right either. I‘m beginning to feel a bit like Goldilocks here, but you really do have to have it juuust right.

I mean, I‘m all for layers of chiffon, but when they’re on a top like this, the nice feminine shape that should be accentuated is hidden underneath all the fabric. What about you: are you lovin‘ this top, or leavin‘ it?

Gotta love it: I was searching around for a good sale to raid, and I came across this one at Tory Burch . All pre-Fall styles are 40% off, and the Summer collection is 60% off!

I also found buried treasure within the sale the exact dress that Serena van der Woodsen wears to the A Kiss on the Lips party in the first episode of “Gossip Girl” ! The Sequin Tunic Dress, $450 (originally $750), is right there, just waiting for you. Now that’s hot.

Ok, ok, it is Fall. It’s getting light earlier and the mornings are crisp. I have surrendered. The upside of Summer being over is rediscovering your old cozy clothes and, of course, buying new ones lots more on that to come. For now, it’s a good time to look your closet head on and ask yourself: “Do I have some boots made for walking?” And talking, and so much more. Dancing? Flirting? Strutting? Boots can be very powerful indeed. We‘ve already been seeing celebs bring them back, as pointed out in this week‘s Life & Style ,and it’s time to decide if you‘re gonna need some new killer boots or dust off your old faves. Here’s some choices to get you walking...

As you know, we are counting down the days until “Project Runway“ Season Four debuts. Come November, we will be in pure fashion designer competition bliss perfect to curl up and catch a marathon on a stormy Saturday, while taking breaks to do some gift shopping online. I painted a nice picture huh? Anyway, the new breed has been released and here is the first group photo. You have our favorite judges Heidi, Nina and Michael and of course, the mentor with the most soothing voice, Tim Gunn . And just look at the colorful bunch! This is fashion fun just waiting to happen.

I went ahead and judged these aspiring designers by their covers and here are my three picks, purely based on personal style. On the left there’s the pretty girl, Jillian, who hails from Long Island and is a Parsons alum (nice). In the center is stud muffin Rami, who lists Alexander McQueen as a favorite designer and claims a hot pair of leather boots is a fashion must, fierce. On the right is the lovely Victorya, who spells her name cool and already claims polished with an edge according to this outfit. You know my first favorites, read more about them all here who are yours?!

How appropriate is this: just as SJP is traipsing around Manhattan filming the “Sex and the City” movie , the handbag that was her faithful SATC sidekick, the Fendi Baguette, is getting another spin today on the runway.

The bag was first launched in 1997, so for its ten-year anniversary, it’s getting a makeover! For Spring, Fendi redesigned the bag in four sizes, from small to extra large - many feature a detachable strap that turns them into clutches, or for the larger versions, they can be transformed into messenger bags.

The bags are made in all different kinds of materials, from python to plasticized leathers, and many come lavishly embellished, too. Sounds like one of the original “It” bags may be “It” all over again...

Jewelry is all about the chunky and funky for Fall, so this vintage treasure could pass for new! The gold-tone teardrop backing is glammed up with three huge haphazardly arranged purple rhinestones. I love this pendant, because putting it on will take the simplest outfit and make it unique, easy as 1-2-3 rhinestones!

The current bidding price is at $7.95 and the auction ends on Sunday, September 30.

It would be nice if every household had a garment steamer but the reality is that the majority don‘t. So then what is a girl to do when she has a fabulous cocktail party to attend and her Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Satin Strapless Dress, $995, is all wrinkled? Yes, an old fashioned iron might do the trick, but sometimes a fabric is too delicate for that. Plus, your lackluster ironing skills may burn a hole in your lovely dress. Oh no!

At first it was just a weird coincidence that days before his Spring 2008 London Fashion Week show , Christopher Kane had 24 leather dresses stolen from his East London Studio. But then, after a little more thought, the attack on the Roger Vivier store on London’s Sloane Street came to mind - hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of accessories were taken in a June smash-and-grab raid there.

The fashion burglaries continue: early yesterday morning, a gang on mopeds took sledgehammers to the windows of Luella Bartley’s new London store and sped off with more than $20,000 worth of handbags. Then, minutes later, they targeted Brora, a luxury cashmere store, escaping with thousands worth of sweaters and rugs. The culprits are still on the loose...and who knows where they will strike next!
