Hipsters love fall because it gives them the excuse to bust out the good ol’ flannel too hot for Summer. Stores love fall because they literally can ‘Pumpkin Spice’ anything and have sales skyrocket immediately. Basic Girls love fall because it gives them time to organize their entire collection of Uggs for everyday of Winter. It’s safe to say that people in general love fall!
But I love fall for none of those reasons. I love fall because, to me, fall is by far the edgiest season regarding fashion. It seems as if everyone puts down their guard, just a little, around this time of the year, allowing people to reveal their inner-trend-setter, push the limits a little, and get away with things more.
It is because of this that during the fall I especially watch jewelry designers, handbag brands, ACCESSORIES ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!
No one ever pays attention to accessories in the fall – I mean, with all the flannel and Pumpkin Spice being thrown around and what not. I just love them because they make an outfit. They exaggerate the detail. They set the tone of an ensemble – and all of that is on a regular day. During the fall, accessories allow you’re creative side to come out. Some examples I can think of are combining designer bracelets to form a ringlet necklace or attaching your stud earrings to your collar shirts instead of sporting the equally-as-trendy-but-not-as-edgy collar clips that have become way too predictable.
Now that I’m done rambling, here are a few designers, brands, and styles that I’ve had my eye on for some time now:
This is literally jewels on top of antique gold on top of deep mahogany wood. If that doesn’t scream fall, I don’t know what does.

Aphrodisiac pearl oyster shells, crocheted platter earrings, peppercorn inspired rings, and let’s not forget the pearl adorned friendship bracelets! Honestly, how edgy does it get? I’m literally imagining all of the different ways people can personalize these to fall.
Style – Delicate and Dainty
If endless edge isn’t your style, you can still make a statement with accessories during this season. I just love the way that gold looks when combined with fall colors (ie. red wine, brown, plum, olive, etc.) I only know a few people who can combine gold, silver, and diamonds without looking a gaudy mess.
SO, what do you guys think? I plan on making more posts like this that show more of my true self and not just concepts that have gotten more successful bloggers a lot of views. It’s okay for beginner bloggers to rely on the styles of blogs that inspire them, especially if those individuals are unsure of their own identities (on- and offline). But I believe I am at a point where I can develop my own unique ideas and be confident in posting them despite what critics may think.
