When the rubber rainboot trend first hit the streets, I was a bit skeptical. Mostly because a lot of stores were carrying styles that put me back to grade school. Clouds, rainbows, and pink boots with a kitty-cat face at the toes—I could go on and on. Eventually though, I got sick of dodging puddles in heels, (not to mention I ruined some serious shoes) so, I bought a pair of Marc Jacob All Weather Boots. They were rubber, olive green, up to my knees and Lord have mercy they saved my life! No more drenched jeans, wet feet or ruining great shoes. It really made sense why people loved rubber boots. Coincidently, the NY Times did a little slide show this week of New Yorkers battling recent rainy weather. And guess what the focus was? Rainboots!

For Balenciaga’s fall 2007 ready-to-wear collection, Nicholas Ghesquière created worldly, wearable pieces with influences ranging from Bali to upper-crust England. Before his collection debuted in Paris, Ghesquière explained, “It’s a big mix—a street mix, with symbols and colors that are very multicultural.”

With fall’s sleeker, more grown-up looks, designers like Fendi and Gucci strapped platform oxford heels on their models’ feet to go with the more classical look of their collections. The pair above from Fendi is studded, sky-high, and ultra-expensive. Instead, try the Rosanne pair from Bakersshoes.com, below, for only US$79.95.

Bowing to pressure from animal rights activists who planned to stage a protest at her September 5 fashion show, designer Nicole Miller has agreed to go fur-free by spring. It’s nice to see the system work peaceably for the good of all without the fur flying. Oh, did I say fur? I meant pies and paint. Miller claims that her current use of fur is miniscule, with only 12 pieces of her 150,000-piece seasonal offerings including fur trim. So really, why risk a messy protest rally when the controversial material is easily phased out?

As it becomes more and more acceptable to wear jeans at the office, this fall, denim gets a sophisticated upgrade—to trouser jeans. With flap pockets, wider legs, dark wash, and even creases in the legs for a tailored look, these ‘Manhattan’ rigid denim trousers from Lucky Brand are as professional as they come. I like ’em—I’ve always been a fan of wearing jeans to work, but sometimes it’s hard to find a pair that’s still appropriate for a surprise meeting with your boss. But I have to wonder, What’s next—the denim suit?

London-based designer Alice Temperley first introduced her feminine frocks to the English runway in 2003. By the time she debuted in New York in the spring of 2006 she already had a following in America. For her Target Go International collection coming to stores September 16th, Temperley created interpretations of her fall 2007 ready-to-wear collection, using the same gray, black, white, and blue palette, high Victorian necklines, and floppy bow accents, while making the clothing more everyday wearable and, of course, a lot more affordable.

Joining past designers Behnaz Sarafpour, Proenza Schouler, and most recently Libertine, Erin Fetherston has been announced by Target as the next designer for their Go International collection. Fetherston is known for her girly dresses and cute accents like ruffles and bows, and she brings these trademarks to her Target collection. The clothing is very ‘little Parisian girl’ with Peter Pan collars, ruffle accents, and an oversize heart handbag. The American-born, Parsons Paris-educated designer’s collection won’t debut until November (Alice Temperley’s Target line comes first), so for now we’ll just have to ooh and aah over the pictures from the Target pressroom.

Work-hard, play-hard fashionistas—get ready! Silvia Venturini Fendi’s life-changing creation, the transforming To You bag, comes out in stores in September. It’s a chic shoulder bag by day that folds into a trendy clutch by night. Perfect as a handbag for both the workplace and a night on the town, this is a great accessory for those who don’t have time to run home to change between calling it quits at the office and meeting friends for drinks. The size seems just large enough to fit your wallet, cell phone, camera, and lip gloss, while still able to pass for a sleek, under-arm clutch. Plus, its unique ’70s geometric design features an array of colors to complement almost any outfit. The only thing is: to afford it, you might have to work overtime that much more… But, if you love it as much as I do, don’t wait too long—it’ll only be available in select stores.
