Make It or Break-The Right Accessories from Head to Toe


We all know that accessories can make or break an outfit, and with Fall Collections beginning to come out, we have a list of some of the hottest accessories that will have you stylish from head to toe.  We'll start from that gorgeous head and face of yours and work our way down.


A Statement Hat

Some people are hat people, so people are not-I'm not but that might have to do with the fact that I have a pin head, but I'm digressing... If you're a hat wearer , then make sure it makes a statement (and of course keep everything else simple).  This was more a trend at the Haute Couture shows, where grandiose feather hats,  large fur hats (more at  winter shows) and even some large bowl knit hats were present. Whatever tickles your fancy, if it's big and draws attention, your in the right direction.


Large earrings

This was prevalent in a lot of the fall and winter collections.  Chandelier, chain, loop or art deco earrings were everywhere, and looked fab with the strong sexy looks of fall 2009.  As always for a more dramatic and chic look, if your using your ears to be your center piece then tone or even eliminate all other jewelry.


Statement Necklace

Not an earring girl, then try an statement necklace.  Chunky necklaces in all sorts of materials-beaded, wooden, metallics.  Just make sure it's big and everything else is kept simple.


A Stylish Belt

Belts were prevalent in a lot of collections. Most were quite simple and just help to further define shape and flatter appearance.  So if you're going to belt it, keep it simple, yet flattering.


Medium Length Gloves

Most gloves were medium in length this season, meaning below the elbow, helpful in helping to further define shape.  It works really well with the sleeveless dresses and shoulder baring styles for the season.


The Clutch

Although some big bags were seen, the clutch is what we feel looked best with the sexy, power styles of fall. Zippered, chained,metallic, jewel toned clutches were seen in a lot of collections-plus they are just so handy aren't they!


A Good Pair of Tights

With all the sexy short dresses and skirts this season, you'll need a good pair of tights to keep you warm in the cooling fall months.  Keep them opaque or if you want some extra flash, with a bit of metallic highlight and you'll be the ultimate sauce pot.


Thigh high boots, or Stylish Short Boots

Talk about extremes, boots were either thigh high or short booties.  If you're going thigh high, keep it simple (one toned colors, and in blacks/greys), and it does look good with the sexy short skirts and dresses of the season.  If this is a bit too extreme for you (and believe me we understand if it is, especially at the office), then go for the opposite, a stylish short bootie which makes a statement of its own.  If boots aren't your thing, then go for platform pumps, still hot for the fall.
