On the cusp of Labor Day weekend, I’m torn between letting go of summer and looking forward to fall, my favorite of all seasons.  So, here are a few pieces from both seasons for this week’s small, edited collection of things that caught my eye.

(above) As usual, Nixxi exudes the epitome of uber cool, sustainably chic fashion…the autumn/winter 2010 collection is tailored from organic cotton, organic wool and hemp jersey.  Designer Jada-lee is featuring more coats and outer layers than ever before…(prices range from $76 for the Lounge Pant to $430 for a winter wrap).

(above) As featured on SheFinds.com, beautiful pieces of sea glass become cool necklaces and pretty mementos of summer!

(above) Get 2 looks in this versatile piece – have fun choosing how you’d like to wear this handmade, 100 percent recycled silver necklace, with a lightly hammered edge; ($39) — from Australian based epheriell (on Etsy).
