Hair Sparkle

I really loved the hair accessories on the runways for Fall 2012. Headbands of course made an appearance, but what really caught my eye were the sparkly and at times over sized hair clips that accessorized simple up-dos like chignons and twists. Sometimes designers used clusters of hair pins...

During the week my go-to hairstyle is usually a bun or some version of it. Adding little hair clips seems like a fun way to make your every-day look that much more special. At night, a big show stopper would look so pretty! The great thing is that you can find hair pins, clips, and bands everywhere in all price ranges...

2. Champagne Flower Hair Pins  $22

3. Oasis Hair Clips by Asos $10

4. Dolce & Gabbana Swarovski Crystal Hair Clip $445

Dsquared2 x Length = Fabulous

These images from the Dsquared2 2012 resort collection have me reaching towards greater lengths lately when it comes to my jeans and pants. This Fall I'm definitely going to be looking for styles that are beautifully fitted, slightly flared, and longer in length than I normally where. How great are the colors too? I especially love the chambray and pink combo.

White Pumpkins...

I have a special place in my heart for white pumpkins. They're so pretty and I love how they pop against the dark Fall colors. I plan getting a couple this week and placing them around the house for a bit of Fall decor. I still can't get over the pumpkins in the flower boxes, so pretty!

How cool are these white candle pumpkins from Pottery Barn?

Loving those!

About Knee High

Anyone else noticing this fun little detail popping up here and there for Fall? Yep, knee and thigh high socks look like they're going to be a staple of the Fall wardrobe this year. Usually when socks this high come to memory I think of this from back in the day. However, today the look is more grown up and goes perfectly with Fall ensembles... One tip I've picked will researching this trend is to make sure you choose a length that will flatter your body. So if the last thing you want to emphasize is your thighs, then don't go for socks that hit at your thigh. Happy shopping!
