First Look: Grey Antics Fall 2010

Grant Krajecki's diffusion line for Urban Outfitters, Grey Antics, has proven so successful that the Los Angeles-based designer is offering it at more retailers this fall, including Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's. The popularity of Grey Antics makes sense: Krajecki's pieces are super-casual, yet super-special at the same time. It's difficult to balance the two, but he does it well. In fact, I know this from experience. I picked up one of the sundresses at Urban this past weekend, subsequently becoming the belle of the barbecue. (Seriously, I got loads of compliments!) Click through for a sneak peek at Grey Antics' fall collection.

First Look: I Heart Ronson Fall 2010

We must admit: Charlotte Ronson's I Heart Ronson collection for JC Penney is consistently cute. And wildly affordable. (Most items ring in at around $30.) For fall, we're particularly keen on the tights and the gray jersey skirt--mostly because we love gray jersey anything--but what's most intriguing about the collection is how well it's styled. We'd say as well as Ronson's lovely ready-to-wear line. Good news: You can use the look book as a guide. Click through to see what's in store.

First Look: Grey Antics Spring 2011

We at Fashionista don't hide our love of Urban Outfitters' designer collaborations and this one by Grey Ant has always been one of our favorites. The pieces are always flattering and easy to wear with interesting details that are rare for such a low price point. Spring '11 is full of great body-con skirts and dresses, super cute fairisle-meets-tribal prints, sheer white cotton shirts, and simple cropped pants. It's sporty yet feminine and full of soft cottons and linens, which we're crazy about for next spring. Seriously, is it March yet?

Urban Pulls State Necklaces 'Ripped Off' From an Etsy Designer--But Were They Really Hers in the First Place?

You might be surprised that we haven't written about Stevie, an Etsy jewelry designer known for her state charms with a little heart punched through each one. Stevie was quite upset because Urban Outfitters allegedly mimicked her design. "My heart sank a little bit [when I saw this]," Stevie confessed on her Tumblr. As bad as I felt for Stevie, I didn't put the story on yesterday's schedule. We write about rip-offs pretty consistently, but this just didn't sit right with me. Hadn't I seen these little charms before? Since the story broke, Urban has pulled the style from its website. And Stevie seems to be experiencing unexpectedly high sales in wake of the situation. She reports on her Etsy page that "Orders will take a bit longer due to the overwhelming response to Urban Outfitters! Please give me 3-4 weeks to create and ship your items! xo."
