One thing we know? Mixing metals is totally on trend for fall. Gone are the days of sticking to all gold or all silver or white gold with your jewelry. Something else that is on trend for fall? Mixing textures and weights. Pair your dainty bracelets with chunky rings and your thin bracelets with heavier bangles for a look that totally 'du jour.'

Warm Up with Leather Gloves

I went away skiing this past weekend and my Mom lost her leather gloves during dinner at an Italian restaurant. It was quite the mystery, let me assure you. It got me thinking about replacements and once I started doing a little online reconnaissance, I was happy to see that a ton of gloves are on sale at this time of year! Why not stock up while the prices are right? You never know where a glove thief may be lurking.

Accessories Report: Small Cross-body Bags

Here's one of those posts I was talking about earlier that will stray from jewelry but focus on another fashion accessory.  I hope you enjoy the change! Without further ado...

I am in the market for a new, small, cross-body bag. I used to be the queen of over-sized sacks, but since switching to my first small bag (buy here) I can't seem to go back. Why do we need to carry around so much? Why does my left shoulder slope toward the ground? Kidding. Cross-body bags just seem so much more comfortable and there is something liberating about leaving the house with just your phone, some lip gloss, and a wallet. Here are the cross-bodies that are on my radar now.

1. Rebecca Minkoff, Mini 5 Zip Clutch 2. Rebecca Minkoff, Woven MAC Bag 3. Marc by Marc Jacobs, Phone in a Box Dots 4. Marc by Marc Jacobs, Classic Q Percy Bag 5. Tory Burch, 797 Crossbody Pouch 6. CC Skye, Studded Eden 7. Rebecca Minkoff, Eyelet Mini Sweetie Bag 8. Rebecca Minkoff, Mini MAC Bag
