As the focus of attention or simply an accent piece, studs can take your look from blah to bold in an instant. After spiked accessories made a big comeback last year, a sleeker more rounded stud has found its way onto soft sweaters, tanks and dresses this season. Wear them as tough or as sweetly as the occasion calls for.

A new gold rush has arrived and everyone is after the irresistible look of this hint-of-pink hue. Add a luxe touch to any outfit when accessorizing – a sparkly pump, a feminine watch and a jeweled clutch will do just the trick. If you want a complete look, go with blush from head-to-toe in this metallic party dress. For a more casual night, try an ankle pant with a crochet tank.

Kick luxe into high gear with the season’s wildly popular faux fur accessories. Pale pinks and neutrals are the way to go when choosing your outfit-making add-on, especially when rocking hot prints and bright colors. A key piece or two is all you’ll need to lush up your fall/winter look. A shoulder wrap is versatile enough to top off any sweater or jacket, or warm up to snow-bunny chic with a fur hat and gloves.
