1 This season, hip denim brand 7 For All Mankind celebrates daring darlings - women who take risks while maintaining their feminine flair. This translates into new washes in shades such as deep midnight and black-cast distressed blue. The latest cut is the Trouser, a four-pocket style, with a boyish, wide-leg silhouette that still manages to hug the body. Non-denim pieces include the buttery twill Skinny and a range of corduroys and cargo pants. Standouts include the double knit black jacket (above left; HK$2,480), the jeans with back- pocket crystals (above; HK$2,580) and the high-waist trousers (left; HK$2,080), all of which are available at 7 For All Mankind, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2722 9671.

2 Thomas Sabo takes a playful approach to a girl's best friend in its Diamond Fever collection of charm pendants. It features 12 designs, including the sweet winged-heart in sterling silver with diamonds (above right; HK$990). And we love the autumn collection of pendants inspired by falling leaves and earthy colours; look for the sterling silver necklace with leaf and duck pendants (above far right; HK$2,070). Both collections are available at Thomas Sabo, IFC Mall, tel: 2295 3585.

3 Kipling's latest collection of bags, Alpha Girl, does 1970s cool with soft, boho-chic colours and shapes. Inspired by the era's must-have platform wedges and maxi dresses, this line is all about comfortable luxe. The main features are sleek stitching, hidden zips, soft leather and quiet pony-skin accents in deconstructed and slouchy silhouettes. The collection plays with this season's earth-tone palette in three easy-to-carry styles: the Elinor clutch, the Hester handbag and the Leony shoulder bag. Our pick: the effortlessly hip Elinor clutch with pony-hair effect (left; HK$1,990). Kipling is at Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong, tel: 2265 8922.

4 Fashion-forward footwear brand Steve Madden stays on the cutting edge with a versatile new collection, which is all about the details. From ballerina flats to knee-high boots, each design has a little added pizazz. Casual but elegant, the Kajin flat in metallic-blue patent leather (top; HK$850) is decorated with rhinestones for extra glamour, while the brown Straper knee-high boot (left; HK$2,090) has a playful strap and buckles. The Caryssa platform pump (above; HK$990) in glittery gold is a great evening choice. Steve Madden is at Times Square, Causeway Bay, tel: 2506 3076.
