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.

It looks like two of the summer’s hottest trends are going to be following us into the fall season.
Fringes have been around for a couple of seasons now, but I love Prada’s unique take on them:

Their black Nappa leather ankle boot is accented with a short line of studded fringe.  I have to admit – I’m not a big fan of fringed shoes that look like you’ve suddenly grown fur, but this short fringe adds a fun detail to these restrained ankle boots.
Feathers aren’t as common as fringes, but it’s shown up in a few accessory collections now.
