Belts are more than just a way to keep your pants up! They provide another accent to your outfit, shape your silhouette and can be a great way to make a statement.
There are a few simple guidelines to follow for fall and winter this year. First of all, the wider the belt, the more restrained the color should be. Wider belts are great for cinching in a outfit, or layering over a cardigan – but keep the colors muted.

Fall 2009 jewelry is all about wearable luxury, rich colors, lots of details and lush accents.
Big statement necklaces, chandelier earrings and bold bracelets add drama to your fall jewelry wardrobe. Fall colors are traditionally a little more restrained and deeper than the hot corals and turquoise of summer. Try going with richer purples and jewel tones to complement your fall jewelry.

Fringes & Feathers for Fall

It looks like two of the summer’s hottest trends are going to be following us into the fall season.

Feathers aren’t as common as fringes, but it’s shown up in a few accessory collections now.
