Sak's Fifth Avenue

That’s why snoods (which I just found out about earlier this season!), are a perfect option. And, if you have discerning luxurious tastes check out Rag and Bone’s Twisted Merino Hood Loop from Sak’s Fifth Avenue. The snood is made of a waffle knit and includes a button closure. It is $175. If you’re going to be stuck in the cold weather for a while then this may be a worthy investment.

Lush New Fall Scarves from Auto

You can layer them over a light summer dress or t-shirt and keep those pieces going into fall.  They add an extra layer of warmth, a little extra camouflage for upper arms and can add a great accent to your wardrobe.

Lightweight stretch cotton shrugs can be found in a rainbow of colors, and offer and easy to wear option for warm days.

This wrap-front shrug is a cotton/elastane blend by Subdued.  It’s lightweight and perfect for adding another layer and a dash of color to your outfit.

Shrugs can also work for dressier occasions too:

This lovely wool shrug by Terre Alte is accented with fabric flowers and crystal details.  The rich plum colored wool will keep you warm and cozy… and stylish too.

How about a bright pop of color?

I love the bold turquoise color of this wool/mohair blend shrug by Liu Jo.

It zips on the top and and has the extra storage space in the front with double fastening pockets in the front. It also has feet on the bottom so the bag won’t get so dirty (but to be honest..if you’re going to spend that much on a bag are you going to put it on the ground? I wouldn’t!). It measures 15 inches wide by 11 inches high by 6 inches deep with a handle drop of 7 inches.

The bag is currently 40% off at theoutnet.com. It’s $1,068, down from the original $1,780.

Chloé Bay Leather Bag

An Embellished, Standout Handbag

I’m sure you’ve already seen this must-have trend everywhere! If you want to incorporate a new bag into your collection, this is the time to get a fun bag.  Look for bags with lots of hardware from studs to zippers. If that’s not your thing, check out bags with girly trimmings like ruffles, fringe and tassels.  Maybe you’d rather get a little wild? Look for bags with animal prints or skins. Or you can really draw all eyes on you when you pick up a bag in a hot shade like red or shiny metallic. From budget to high-end, designers are churning out bags that will stand out from the rest.  Here are some prime examples from Shopflick.

Cleobella Alive Grey Fringe Bag ($528)  – This is fringe on a whole new level! This show-stopping, hand-made tote is made from layered pebbled leather. It features braided straps, tasseled ends and comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Use it for travel or for everyday.

Hide Bags Silver Bobby Tote ($380)  -  Metallics will be all the rage again, this super cute silver tote is the perfect way to get in on the trend. Its made out of distressed metallic lambskin and it’s quite scrumptious!

Massimiliano Musini Crocodile Wrap Clutch ($1595)  – This is the clutch to have for the ultimate fashionista. It’s a hand-painted and sewn by hand, thus making it complete work of art. As a bonus, your name will be inscribed in gold leaf and the clutch will be hand-signed by the designer himself. Hello, this is totally worth the splurge!

Isabella Zocchi Eva Stingray Black Pochette ($748; regular $1045)  –   An elegant clutch doesn’t have to be boring! This lovely black and white stingray pattern clutch will look amazing with a little black dress for evenings and will look equally chic with jeans and a flirty top. It’s made of leather, fabric and decorated with dark iron hardware and brooches.

David Alexander Armor Handbag ($300)  -  Quilting, a gorgeous red shade and it’s decorated with studs?! It also  incorporates most of the trends I mentioned without going overboard. Love it! It also comes in black, purple (another fab shade!) and white.

The key to carrying these “Hey, look at me!” bags is to keep the rest of your outfit streamlined. Let your bag do all the work and let it be the one to give off all the attitude.

Bold and Eye Catching Jewelry

The trend of high-impact and statement jewelry is back but this time there’s even more drama!  Look for pieces that reflect the top trends. Whether it be lots of hardware or chains, big gems or accessories that incorporate the top fall colours of grey, red and purple. Take a gander at the following pieces I found at ShopFlick and Neiman Marcus.

Kenneth Jay Lane Enamel Flower Ring ($90) -  This popular cocktail ring is back, this time in a stunning shade of deep, dark purple and accented with 22k yellow gold.

Josie and Maria Barrera Multi-Strand Necklace ($775) – A fantastic statement necklace in Fall’s must-have shade, grey and gunmetal hardware. Gorgeous!

Lee Angel Pink Berry Earrings ($220) – Swinging chandelier earrings in a cool dark berry shade, perfect for day or night!

ABS by Allen B Schwartz Three Row Bracelet ($125) – A dramatic triple strand bracelet with black glass stone insets and brass plated rhodium. Quite pretty, this is a great piece to wear if you want to dress up your casual outfits.

Juicy Couture Dazed and Couture Drama Cuff ($178)  – Big, multi-coloured rhinestones and cabochons will add drama to your look.

Aakinal Madonna Necklace ($230) – A clever mix of faux leather, multiple strands of silver chains and hot pink beads. This is the necklace you wear with a sleek strapless little black dress.

After looking at all these fabulous handbags and accessories, I’m even more excited for Fall! Just remember, wear one trend at a time. The key is to not pile it on but to find a way to introduce some of the trends into your existing wardrobe or outfits.  If you’re going to get a trendy item, make sure it’s something that has classic features and simple lines that can transition into other seasons and will have longevity in your everyday style.

Good luck and happy shopping!

The Must-Have Accessories for Fall

(Images: ShopBop)

These two charming bracelets by Elizabeth and James are dainty and stylish. The cool Arrow ($195) and Small Snake ($125) design have just enough edge to them. Wear these layered with other bracelets or alone for a simple look.  Both bracelets are made out of sterling silver and measure 7.5″ inches long. The snake has a cute little diamond at the head.

The Tom Binns Tough Chic Skull Earrings ($99) and Tough Chic Wingled Skull Necklace ($195) are a bit more on the trendy side but it’s not overkill.  The dangle earrings feature an oxidized silver skull detail with crystals chains and while the necklace has a skull accented with 18K gold wings.

The jewelry above are all available at the ShopBop website.  These would make really fun gift ideas for your friends, sister and maybe even yourself. It just goes to show, you can invest in a trend but you don’t have to look like the very definition of one.

Just out of curiosity, how many pairs of sunglasses do you own at this very moment? Sadly, I’m down to about three, but I only wear one of them on a regular basis.

And check out the brows. If your sunglasses are going to show them off, you had better make sure that they are tidy!
