It's my absolute favorite time of the year again, fall!
And that means I'll be bringing you all the latest trends in fashion, cuisine and places to check out in Miami.
Last week I brought you the hottest nail polish colors worn on the runways, so you can rock them on the streets.
And today I'm bringing you the must have accessories of the season, along with some styling tips on how to make these items work for you.
And remember fashionistas: The idea behind trends are to accent your wardrobe staples with a dash of them.
Wear with caution and don't over do it by fitting too many trends into a single outfit.
The fall and winter months make up half a year, so you have plenty of times to wear everything you've purchased.
The It Bags:
Mini Bags.
Tip: Mini bags offer to hold your essentials and not much else, since they're so small. Use them for a day of shopping when your hands will be filled with shopping bags or for a night out on the town!
Shoulder Bags.
Tip: Shoulder bags seem like a blast from the past and they are, but they're also making a huge comeback this season.
Buy a shoulder bag in animal print like the one above for a modern twist on this classic look.
A pair of sexy red pumps will complement this bag exquisitely.
Structured Satchels.
Tip: Structured satchels are ideal for the workplace because they're one of the few accessories that allow you to inject chic into your otherwise conservative attire.
Wear with skinny jeans and riding boots for a casual everyday look.
Snakeskin Satchels.
Snakeskin is oh so hot right now! This satchel is great for day or night and goes with just about anything you currently own.
Tip: Polish a minimalist look with a snakeskin bag.
Colorful Clutches.
Tip: Usually fall fashion is about dark or neutral colors and patterns, but this fall we are seeing a lot of color, a trend that transitioned from the spring.
If you still prefer to wear less vibrant colors during the fall a colorful clutch is a splendid way to jazz up your wardrobe.
Animal Print Belts.
Tip: Animal print belts are a great finishing touch to any outfit.
Skinny Cinchers.
Tip: Skinny cinchers like the one above with a small bow give you the perfect touch of elegance and fun.
Wedge boots.
Tip: Pair wedge boots with a chiffon dress for a modern take on a 70s look.
Chunky Heel Boots.
Tip: Pair a 60s inspired dress with high boots for the ultimate mod look.
Thigh High Boots are always sexy and in style.
Riding Boots.
Tip: Wear with dark denim or leggings for slimmer looking legs. This is also a great tip to remember when wearing any flat shoe.
Hats & Gloves:
Cashmere Beanies.
Feathered Fedoras.
Yes, feathers are still going strong!
Cashmere Gloves.
Leather Gloves.
Jewelry:
Bling Rings.
Cocktail Rings.
Chain Bracelets.
Cutting Edge Cuffs.
Cool Collars.
Drop Earrings
Printed Tights:
Polka Dot Tights
Leopard Print Tights.
Tip: Printed tights go great under dresses and skirts during cold weathers to keep you from freezing but also add pizazz to any outfit.
Don't forget nude tights have made a major comeback and are so major right now.
Thank the Middleton sisters for that!
Scarves:
Faux Fur Mufflers.
Tip: Fur is a huge trend this season and it's all about being luxe when it comes to fur!
My PSA for the day is ditch the real furs and be kind to our furry friends and go for faux mufflers, vests and coats!
Black and White Scarves.
Animal Print Scarves.
Colorful Scarves.
Shoes:
Bold Color Ballet Flats.
Flat Loafers.
Tip: Pair flat loafers with tailored coats for a sophisticated look.
Menswear Inspired Loafers.
Snakeskin Pumps.
Pointy Pumps.
Tip: If you want to mix things up, combine a pair of tight leahter pants and a sculpted jacket for a rock n' roll look.
Jewel Tone Heels.
Tip: Keep the rest of your outfit to a minimum when you wear bright jewel tone shoes, so that the shoes can be the star of the outfit.
Sparkly Shoes.
Tip: Mix colors and textures when wearing a pair of metallic shoes.
Umbrellas:
Colorful Animal Print Umbrellas.
Bubble Umbrellas.
Totes yes!
Umbrellas are another accessory for us to express our fashion sense and styles by making a statement.
I'm so loving bubble umbrellas right now!
Other trends to accessorize with during the fall season:
- black and white <3
- deep reds and burgundys
- gray
- green
- jewel tones
- anything that sparkles!

You may want to add the brand names and maybe a cool place to get them. That would be very helpful and I would be inclined to visit more often for a look at your ideas.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
There are a few reasons I didn't include the name brands of the items I chose because I don't want to come off as a label enthusiast. I want everyone who reads my blog to feel welcomed regardless of where they shop.
Second, I picked all my favorite items from my favorite brands, but by not including where the items are from, it allows you to go shopping with an open mind. Personally, many a times I have fallen in love with a $2600 bag on someone's blog that I can't afford, but I want it and end up feeling that no other bag can compare.
There are other times that I do include brands, as you can see in my shoe of the day because I feel it's necessary.
Thanks for the feedback and I'll think about including brands on my next post!
