It is all about accessories - fall fashion

This is the year to accessorize! Big bright, bold, colorful accessories are the fashion trend for this season. From fashion handbags, trendy belts, leather gloves and colorful winter hats adorn all the models and celebrities. Head bands are hot! Chic jewelry is bold and beautiful. Finger nails and lips are painted bright red. Fall is here and now is the time to pack on the layers, accessorize like crazy and look exceptionally chic!

Casual jackets, coats and vests are seen warm and fuzzy with lots of fur. Collars and cuffs, as well as knee high boots sport plenty of multihued fur. Sweaters and sweater vests may have a hood of fur. Double breasted capes and coats are lined and trimmed in various types and colors of faux fur or the real thing! Hats and purses may even be embellished with feathers, fur or colorful gem stones.


Knitted or crocheted cuffed chenille hats, beanies, faux fur hats, and felted cloche hats are found in specialty boutiques. Newsboy hats and the knit beret hat accessorize even the most casual outfit. A wool felted fedora dresses up denim jeans and boots. For outer wear, a crocheted confetti scarf, knitted scarf, or cashmere muffler will keep in the warmth. Matching cashmere gloves may be trimmed with suede or embellished with buttons and fur lining. Gloves may even have a small zippered pocket.


Purses come in everything from animal inspired fabrics to the metallic clutch. Shoulder bags have magnetic top closures for ease of use. Beautiful Italian leather tote bags and cross body flap bags are seen in bold colors. Imported drawstring bags have cell phone pockets. Stylish mini wristlets, either zippered or with a fold over flap and clutch bags are just as popular as large hobo handbags.


Jewelry trends this fall are plentiful. Wide silver or gold plated cuff bracelets are embellished with crystals, glass and cubic zirconia. Charms of all shapes and sizes from animals, flowers, hearts and freshwater pearls adorn chain bracelets. Sterling silver hoop earrings are still in fashion as are drop earrings with semi-precious gemstone accent pieces. Chandelier earrings with swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and peridot find their way into many jewelry boxes. Blue is a popular color for jewelry this fall. We see pendants, bracelets, earrings and necklaces in lapis, sodalite, iolite and fire polished glass. Beautiful dichroic glass pendants of multiple colors hang from sterling silver chains. Three stone drop pendants and circle pendants with gemstone accents are very chic. Silk ribbon necklaces with beads of unusual types of stones are trendy. Chic beaded charm, multi-strand, and beaded swag necklaces as well as hammered sterling silver embellished with pearls, glass and stones are seen in one of a kind artisan jewelry.


The trend for this fall is for plenty of bold vibrant accessories perfect for your mood. Whether your outfit is casual, classic, elegant or business attire this is the season to just have fun mixing and matching all your accessories to create your amazing fall fashion statement!
