I actually can’t believe that Halloween is over and that the Holiday Season has officially (in my eyes, anyway) begun. That means warm sweaters, leggings, and jackets (oh my!). Naturally, the change in seasons doesn’t just involve the weather, but fashion as well. So, while you’re dusting off those sweater boxes, start thinking about ways you might be able to spice up your fall wardrobe. Instead of purchasing new clothes, try updating your look with some new accessories. A few carefully chosen pieces can breathe new life into that old ensemble!

One of the hottest trends for fall will be more hardware-focused items. Far from dainty, these pieces are bold, metallic, and above all, they make a statement. Grab a few metal cuff bracelets, or some dazzling bangles. You can play up a simple top by pairing it with a necklace that is a bit bulkier than your normal comfort level; pieces this season are all about making a statement. Of course, only choose items that you can wear with confidence, because if you don’t feel amazing wearing it then no one else will notice it!

I love the bold, industrial feel of the Dannijo Frankie Chain Link Cuff – ($390 at Net-a-Porter) though it is most certainly on the “splurge” list. If you’re looking for an option that won’t break the bank, check out the Multi-Row Silvertone Chain Bracelet (Target – $12.99).

These definitely aren’t your grandmother’s pearls! Classic, elegant pieces certainly have their place, but you can strike a balance between classic round pearls and modern metal with this gorgeous Golden Orb Choker. (Anthropologie $118)

I’m lusting after this braided metal necklace that can really help me to “tie” the perfect outfit together. (Serpentine necklace, $29.99 at Urban Outfitters)

And lastly, don’t think this trend is isolated to jewelry alone. Have fun with it, but go for something simple like this Deux Lux Chain Flap Clutch ($29.99 at Urban Outfitters) that you’ll be able to use long after the fall trends have faded.
