As I reported a few weeks ago after seeing The September Issue (yes, random, I was lucky, etc.), the Vogue doc definitely warrants the hype. And now that the official trailer has surfaced, everyone can catch a glimpse of our favorite fur-clad, iron-bobbed editor in her prime.

So mark down August 28th (for New Yorkers) and September 11th (for those who don’t live in Anna’s city) in your calendars and make sure to check out our fashion picks from The September Issue. Hint: The ice queen has a penchant for eye-catching necklaces. And is not afraid to wear them more than once.

We’ll have additional news on The September Issue fashion shortly. In
the meantime, see our guide to everything on the documentary.

See our sartorial reviews of The Proposal and 500 Days of Summer, and stay tuned for our take on this weekend’s Julie & Julia.

Aldo is a go-to for shoes when you’re in the mall, but it’s also a treasure trove of trendy jewelry at a fraction of the price of stores like J.Crew, and without the tween factor of Claire’s.

Check out these vintage inspired rings, bracelets, and necklaces, which are sure to add some fun to your fall wardrobe.

1. With tortoise shell plastic links and blingy retro charms, this Gulbrandsen Charm Bracelet ($20) will go with everything.

2. The eye-catching glossy enamel on this kitchsy Coli Ring ($10) makes the bargain price seem, well, unbelievable.

3. Turquoise beads mixed with teardrop pendants create an on-trend bib necklace ($18) that looks way more expensive than it is.

And check out our jewelry guides for pieces to match with your new summer dress or swanky evening top.

There’s been a whole lot of buzz over the soon-to-be-released (August 28th) documentary about the inner workings of Vogue as they prepared for the September 2007 issue. As we noted last week, the fashion folk have been scrambling to get their hot little hands on bootleg copies of R.J. Cutler’s swanky documentary.  We’ve not only gotten a sneak peek, but we’ve culled together everything else out there on The September Issue, too.

I was lucky enough to see it officially, and must say, the hype is for good reason. Mark the release date on your calendars and get ready for drama, humor (believe it or not), and over-the-top fashion from The September Issue.

Wintour was perpetually flawlessly dressed, with one accessory of note that almost upstaged her Spartan hair. Almost.

Yes, the woman likes fur and wasn’t afraid to show it on camera, but what stood out even more was her affinity for these modern, demure jeweled necklaces. Either layered or alone, Anna sported them in several colors with many a floral frock.

We haven’t been able to nail down the designer just yet (help us out, people), but a similar – albeit extremely pricey – version can be picked up at Barneys ($14,000).  If you want to mimic the look for a fraction of the price, we also love this white stone necklace from Kenneth Jay Lane ($400).
