2. Look glam in Halston Heritage. This season, Halston Heritage delivers iconic styles from the Halston archives, celebrating a legendary aesthetic created by the late Roy Halston Frowick. The collection celebrates the pioneer of American fashion — delivering fun, flirty, and carefree styles from an unforgettable era.

3. Play with prints in Lilly Pulitzer. Lilly Pulitzer for fall 2010 is all about color therapy. Lilly Pulitzer plays, enlivens and mixes colors using true blues, hibiscus pinks, and gecko greens that will make you look good and feel good, too. The limited-edition prints also have some extra Zen-like elements — from the koi fish to the lotus flower.

4. Go for Longchamp’s iconic Gatsby bag. Longchamp debuts an iconic design in new variations on its iconic Gatsby bag. Gatsby steps out as a city-smart handbag on a short chain and leather shoulder strap, allowing it to sit snugly under the arm. The line’s signature square lock is reinterpreted in the strap’s angular metal links, bringing a graphic urban edge to the design.
