I’m loud, I’m proud and I love accessories! OK, call me lame if you want, but the importance of great accessories is not lost on me. They are absolutely essential in bringing together a beautiful ensemble and the easiest way to update your wardrobe to reflect the newest trends each season. And, fo real, they are really fun to shop for!  Unlike shoes or jeans or dresses, you really can never have too many of them, so I’m always on a hunt for something new to add to my growing collection.

And if you stick with me, you can nab some new pieces on the cheap, too.

As Giorgio Armani once said, “Accessories are important and becoming more and more important each day.” We hear you bro, so let’s take a look at the good stuff.

For most people, the end of August means enjoying the last weeks of summer, trying to wear those short-shorts a few more times before their tan wears off, and dreading the chunky knits and layers that arrive come November. But for those of us who love fashion, this time of year is incredibly exciting! I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait for fall fashion; I’ve already got my knee-high socks on and am digging out my favorite cardigans!

But, like the rest of you, I too am working with a college student budget. As much as I would love to buy a full-length camel skirt and a real leather aviator jacket, I know I can’t afford either. Fortunately, with a few new accessories, every college student can look fresh for Fall/Winter without spending a lot.

Accessories are understated and sophisticated- the embellishments of last season are left behind and this season, fashion embraces a simple but elegant practicality that reflects the return to long-lasting pieces. So while accessories are few and far between, there are a few pieces that will bring your wardrobe up-to-date for fall. Read More »

If my new obsession with Old Soul New Heart taught you anything, it’s that accessories can make an outfit.
And here’s another thing I’m about to teach you, so take note: if you want to stand out in a crowd wear a hat.

Every time I go out on a weekend in a beret EVERYONE comments. It’s unique, it’s different andit says you’ve got fashion balls.

Hello, risk-taker!

If, however, you find yourself in my shoes with a big case of LH (large head, and I mean that literally; not the ego kind), headbands are another great way to change up a look or keep up with a trend without going into serious debt. They also happen to be a great way to get by without washing your hair for “just one more day”- slick those bangaroos back and you look chick and clean! Cute while being lazy? Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Here are my favorite hats, headbands and hair accessories for fall. They give a whole new meaning to hat hair and for once, I don’t mind it! Read More »
