There are many inner divas dying to get out this week. We've had loads of entries for this week's StyleList Giveaway for the dramatic butterfly jasper, fresh water pearl, and green amethyst pendant set in sterling silver.

Have you left your comment yet, telling us about your favorite new fall fashion? If not, you still have until 5 pm EST, today. Then we're picking a lucky winner to take home this one of a kind piece from Lady Lynn's Boutique.

To enter, go over to the original post (it won't count if it's here) and leave your confirmed comment.

When it comes to designer purses, people who love them tend to fall into two categories -- those who like the name or label advertised all over the bag, and those who don't. The new Chanel Unlimited line is definitely for those who belong in the first group.

Even though it's cold out, there are certain times when a sweater just won't do. When we're hitting the club with our girlfriends or attending a cocktail party with our boy du jour, we want to look a little sexy, and sometimes that requires showing a little skin. But we don't want to be cold, of course, so we like to bring along a little wrap, like this Pure Pashmina Wrap, $59.99 at The Pashmina Store.

Sometimes the art of personal adornment is about more than just looking pretty or dressing up a boring outfit. Sometimes the artist behind a piece of jewelry pushes things further and gets you to really think about bigger issues every time you look in the mirror or touch that bracelet on your wrist. That's certainly the intention of the designer behind kerin rose jewelry, who strives to create talismans for a modern age.

We've always been a fan of Alexis Bittar's over-the-top, lucite-heavy designs, and his new bubble ring ($155) is no exception.

Shirley MacLaine was a delight in the recent Wifetime movie about Coco Chanel. It was amazing how the character's accent transformed, over the course of her life, from Young French Femme to Tough Old Broad Who Isn't Taking $h-- From Anyone, with her ubiquitous Gauloises never smudging her perfect lipstick!

As soon as we feel that touch of crispness in the air, we just feel like fall. We want to decorate our homes in autumnal colors, we want the leaves to start changing into those magically beautiful colors, and we want to adorn ourselves with accessories that remind us of fall.

Now, fall colors might not work for everyone, but leaf accessories certainly do, and we can't beat this Dean Harris for Target Sterling Silver Leaf Pendant Necklace -- it's only $29.99! And, there are matching earrings, too.

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there and we wanted to find out more about what makes these creative types tick. If you do too, check out more of our Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's featured indie designer is Jessi Clark-White of Distinction Jewelry. Jessi creates bold yet sophisticated gemstone, silver and lampwork jewelry perfect for the modern woman.

We recently told you about Finders Keepers, "designer inspired" jewelry with a recession-friendly price tag. The nice folks at Finders Keepers got in touch with us and provided some fab prizes so you can try them out for yourself. In face, they're so nice that they generously sent prizes for two lucky winners!

The great thing about all of the bracelets is their versatility. You can wear them with literally anything! And since they're so affordable, you don't have to worry about losing them, or having them stolen.

The first lucky reader will win a pair of pretty bangle-style bracelets: Brighton-inspired floral wave bracelet, and a David Yurman-inspired stretch bracelet in amethyst. The preppy but dressy style goes with jeans or skirts, heels or flats.

The second winner will receive a delicate but dramatic Silpada-inspired silver circles bracelet. The modern flair of this bracelet gives it a clean and feminine style that can stand alone, or pair nicely with a whole range of accessories.

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's interview is with jewelry designer Judith Bright, who spent 12 years working for Quincy Jones at his music publishing company before pursuing her longtime dream of designing jewelry.

We all have The One That Got Away. That one piece that, if only you'd had the cash on hand, if only you'd bugged your mom a little more, if only your Visa wasn't maxed out, would have made your wardrobe -- nay, your life -- complete. Ours was a swimsuit we found at Goody's (!!!) in the 7th grade. That is, until we went to Urban Outfitters one fateful day a couple years ago and stumbled on a tiny watch on a long silver chain, like a miniature stopwatch, with a blue and pink cloisonne top. Suddenly, we were in love.

We love funky necklaces here at Styledash, but the Charming Tiny Clock necklace available on Urban's website for $28 is probably the closest reincarnation to that cloisonne miracle.....at least, that we can afford. (We're looking at you, Marc Jacobs.) Here's hoping this one doesn't get away from us before we can save our poor-kid pennies for it.

Though we're inclined to run around all summer in nothing but the exact same pair of dark brown flip flops that "go with" everything from our ethnic print maxi dress to a pair of cut-offs, there are occasions when we may have to wear real shoes. It doesn't mean we have to be uncomfortable in a pair of skin-pinching, back-breaking stiletto heels. Moschino Cheap & Chic's flats are perfect for summer comfort because they are flat and have a rubber sole. The black and silver upper is made of leather and features a tiny strap to keep the shoes on your feet.

Moschino Cheap & Chic's black and silver flats are available from Revolve Clothing for $235.

While trolling through the Style.com fall 2008 accessory report (yes, already) we stumbled on this wacky silver, enamel and Murano glass ring by designer Delfina Deletrezz. It was love at first sight!

What do you get when you mix a background in dental work with art school metals training? Well, when you multiply that interesting mix by two, the result is the just-this-side of macabre Lady Grey Jewelry.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects. They work out of a studio in Brooklyn and as their totally cool site puts it, are "inspired by objects of decay -- such as teeth, branches and bones."
