It's not Valentine's Day yet, but 'love' is all around, and as we get closer to cold nights and windy days, it's time to start incorporating some of it into our outfits. Whether it's a bold statement necklace or cute heart patterns on a scarf or handbag, this is definitely going to be a big hit this Fall. Big rings are also going to be a hit this year, so pair your statement necklace with a statement ring to jazz up any outfit.

We are all well aware by now that punk is back, so designers have been cleverly incorporating elements of punk into their feminine, more delicate pieces. Here's a perfect example of how dainty pieces like pearls are making their way back into the scene too!

Over the knee is always sexy and sleek, so I couldn't have been more excited to see that it was coming back with a bang! With simplistic colors for casual wear or bold, eccentric patterns, over the knee boots are everywhere so there's no doubt you'll find a pair that suit your needs.

This list wouldn't be complete without some stunning handbags to choose from. Of course we all have our favorite style, designer and colour. Handbags are so personal, something we carry around everyday and look after with love and care. So what should we be looking for this fall? Menswear is another fall accessory trend, with boyfriend style shoes making a huge return and these bags draw inspiration from exactly that! Take a look at some of these structured, bowling-style bags.

These are just a few of my favorites for Fall, but there are loads more including military print accessories, furs and silver jewelry, big bracelets and earrings in particular. Although these pieces are an excellent addition to your wardrobe, accessories are all about adding to your own unique style so make sure to shop around a bit before settling on items that really work for you. A few bold statement pieces and a few more minimalistic options may be best to give you choices. A girl can never have too many options!

LAYERING FOR FALL!

Winter is just around the corner and soon, it'll be time to put away all our gorgeous summer and fall pieces. We need to get ready to pull out our layers and prepare for the cold weather ahead!

There are two layering options we can choose from, depending on what your individual style is. First, there's simple layering. This is basic, effortless layering and is for people who prefer to go for casual everyday wear.

Here's an example! A variety of simple layering looks, where you can pair some boots with skinny jeans, with scarfs and heavy knitted cardigans for a complete look. Stunning neutral coloured scarfs are perfect for layering and make the perfect addition to any outfit.

The alternative option is daring to layer like a fashionista! This is for avid fashion girls, who are constantly reading Vogue and Elle, trying to predict the next trends and spot the hottest pieces. Layering means you'll mix a variety of textures and prints, and use bold colors to make a big statement.

As you can see from above, patterns are huge and every outfit has a daring, risky piece or pattern used! A long maxi skirt is paired with a blazer and bright colours and floral prints are predominant. This is definitely where you can make a statement and these different looks show you how you can mix a variety of pieces to create a gorgeous layered outfit!

TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS FALL AND WINTER...

Fall/Winter Trends

Now that summer is coming to a close, it's about time we start looking at key pieces we need to put in our wardrobes for fall and winter. It’s nearly time to tuck away the bathing suits and think about new colours and styles for the colder days. So, what should we be looking out for now?

Punk is BACK!

This season punk returns for the first time since 2010, bringing back plaids, studs and spikes. Instead of bold entire outfits, this year it’ll be more subtle pieces and in 2013, the focus is on adding key pieces of ‘punk’ to outfits and designers are putting a heavy focus on grunge accessories.

So, what’s different about punk in 2013? It will be refreshing and less about a big grunge theme. Creating a feminine outfit and then adding some punk-rock detail is the perfect way to give your outfit some edge and intensity.

Tough accessories like tartan pieces or chains will enhance your outfit and balance it out. Mixing punk with other seasonal trends this year is definitely the way to go!

Say hi to Dusty Pinks!

Making you look feminine and elegant, this color can be combined with darks or lights to create a varying look, taking you from businesswoman in a charcoal suit to sleek, seductive cocktail drinker when paired with light greys and neutral shades.

If you make one investment this season, a pastel pink coat is a necessity. While other colours such as greens and blues are also thought to be a hit this season, a dusty pink coat will cross two big fashion must-haves off your list!

Boys, boys, boys!

Looking for a jacket? Men's jackets and men's fabrics are the way to go! Big is definitely beautiful as oversized and boxy is supported by designer's such as DKNY and Chanel this season. Single and double breasted styles are all the range and will be a big hit over fall and winter. Keep warm and look fierce in these oversized coats!

Pinstripes and houndstooth are also being reinvented, with a new more feminine twist being taken with these materials. Elegantly draping them or embroidering them with feathers illustrate two brand new ways we can wear menswear fabrics.

Masculine tailoring this season means things that look like you’ve just raided your boyfriend’s/dad’s/brother’s closet will make you look perfectly on trend this season, so pillage away!

Let’s welcome American Pastoral!

This fall, we're taking a step back and enjoying some time with nature. Cozy, warm knits and coats with fur-trim are going to be big this season, with the big fashion favourite TWEED making a huge comeback.

They aren’t designed to shy away. These American Pastoral pieces are designed to be comfortable but impeccably stylish, ensuring you can never go wrong with a casual cream knitted jumper or a pair of high boots. Let’s go and spend some time with Mother Nature and embrace comfort and luxury.

From snug knit dresses to tartan, punk skirts and pinstripe jackets to pastel coats, there’s a lot to look out for this season. Make sure you focus on pieces that make you look and feel good, and always think outside the box. Remember to wear your biggest asset: your confidence!
