A few weeks ago we gawked over Elena Coleman’s beautiful jewelry collection, we’re equally eager for her fall collection. Per Coleman, the f/w 2010 collection is subtitled “Tribal Matters.” Here are a few choice hits:
La Danza de la Lluvia earrings ($95), ebony wood and 18K gold-plated chains
The High Priestess necklace ($325), 18K gold-plated brass and gunmetal chains
The Way of the Warrior ring ($155), 18K gold vermeil
The Way of the Warrior necklace ($395), 18K gold-plated brass and gunmetal chains
We’re not big T-shirt people (blasphemy, we know, especially living in L.A.). The closest thing we usually come to sporting one on our daily pursuits is when we wear the old Bat Mitzvah shirt we slept in to Coffee Bean in the morning (the fact that we don’t love T-shirts has no bearing on the fact that we’re slobs).

If I had been as diligent with the P90X workout plan this summer as I had hoped, I probably would have bought these Steven Alan trunks in their West Hollywood store yesterday (the $148 swimsuit is now on sale for $88). Wearing them likely requires you to have run a marathon in the last three months or at least have shown up to kettleball class at Equinox on a weekly basis. But while the length doesn’t leave much in the way for forgiveness, the cut overall doesn’t make you feel like you’re shopping in the boys department.

While most of us at Style Section L.A. didn’t do our high school GPAs any favor by our mediocre test scores in math, we at least know what 70% off means. As stores transition to fall merch you’ll find an increasing abundance of steals. Here are just a few that we’ve recently found:

Thanks to Chloe’s new Dionee sunglasses, you need not to worry about cramming your entire life into your purse. These ergonomically designed folding sunglasses bend into a diminutive package and snuggly fit into their egg-shaped case. Utility and great retro style, plus their compact size makes them most ideal for traveling and can be paired with anything like long maxi dresses in the summer while working equally as well with high-waisted pants and a button down in the fall. – Nicole Hayden
Costume changes. Mini getaways. Avoiding the walk of shame. A long weekend is always rife with possibilities—and possibly questionable shenanigans. Luckily, Zara Terez is helping you err on the side of classy despite whatever sort of illicit fireworks a star-spangled four days may bring. Timeless and chic, her 
While many stores are currently having killer sales in an effort move out last season’s styles, 
And yesterday, Madewell started selling select pieces from Shareen Vintage, the venerable downtown vintage superstore. Shareen started in a booth at the Melrose Trading Post in Los Angeles, expanded to a larger space downtown due to popular demand and, most recently, to the Big Apple. Shareen carries loads of affordable, quality vintage from the past century that are worth digging for. But Madewell has already done your dirty work by choosing a selection of summery dresses, skirts and blouses available for a limited time, in store only.
