Autumn is my favorite time of the year.
Layered looks, lush fabrics, comfy knits and PRADA.
I adored the Prada A/W 2009 collection and their look book is too much fun.
I especially like how the illustrations are fused in with the clothes.
It makes me want to cash in my 401 k (pause) and shop til the wheels fall off!
You can view their lookbook at www.Prada.com
Not too long ago I spoke about illustrator Jo Ratcliffe I am fan of his work, and since it's been awhile I thought I would re-visit him.
His work is Cool, its Sophistcaed, Sexy, and Fun!
I can only imagine the new projects he's working on.

*By the way the answer to the fourth piece is: HORROR
Now that the Spring 2010 collections have shown its time to revert back in the present.
Days are shorter and the weather is crisp and cool on the East-coat.
The time is ripe to start layering the basics and adding 1 or 2 stand-out pieces.
If your anything like me -- your standout pieces tend to sparkle and have loads of glitz and glam. (Actually that's my entire wardrobe)
When the grey skies replace sunny days you infuse pops of color. Colors many reserve for the warmer months are you everyday staples.
Missoni's A/W 2009 Collection did not disappoint.
The understated glamour brought to the runway was breathtaking.
Peach, Blue, Grey, even Yellow tones were done right and made you yearn for a night in front of the fireplace. While longing to layer yourself for an afternoon brunch with girlfriends.
Check back Friday for Achieving Runway a new feature at GetPOLISHED where we recreate the runway looks.
I can't say it will be "recession friendly" but it will be FABULOUS*
While getting myself "together" in Mary Tyler Moore style this morning, I could not find my favorite fall booties.
These booties by Irregular Choice have been a staple in my wardrobe for several season.
So much so that I added 2 other pairs from the brand to my shoe collection.
The quirky, architectural designs of the brand, with a price tag that doesn't send me over the moon are welcome in my home anytime!
Its without saying that I visited their A/W 09 collection to add some kicks to my Christmas list!~
*So, what goodies do you have in your closet? What are your tried and true fall staples? GetPOLISHED wants to know!
Suptle, badd-ass, luxurious...just a few words GetPOLISHED uses to describe the Luxe that is Boy Bag.
I admire a woman that follows her dreams. While almost everyone dreams, most will forgo going the extra mile to make that dream a reality.
There are some exceptions, and one is Elaine Turner.
With a collection of handbags, shoes and accessories that are made with the most luxurious materials, delicate eye -- and surprisingly a price point all style stars can agree with, Elaine Turner has a recipe that we all can savor.
So, someone told you -- your jewelry was up to par?
They were wrong.
