Marc Jacobs "Petal to the Metal" pouchette bag

There’s an easy way to glam up your look this Fall!  With lots of bright colors and embellishments, adding a pouchette purse to your accessory collection will punch up even the dreariest wardrobe.  Plus, they happen to be all the rage right now!

“Pouchette purses were all over the Fall 2011 runways,” says Delisa, professional wardrobe consultant.  “From the color-blocked Proenza clutches to Louis Vuitton and Chanel, runways were full of clutches with handles on the back for convenient carrying and other great embellishments.”

Pouchette purses are versatile, pairing well with casual daytime wear or sparkly evening attire.  The sky’s the limit for colors of these cute purses – and don’t forget the extra bling!  According to Delisa, “Pouchettes give Fall’s fashion another alternative to a chic daytime bag.”

Want another way to make yourself stand out this Fall?  Snag some pieces with bold graphic prints.

According to wardrobe consultant Delisa, graphic prints are a big hit this season.  Many of the biggest names in fashion rocked the runways in graphic prints, including color blocking, black and white, and Stella McCartney’s magnificent polka dots.

The standout patterns of graphic prints can be found on dresses, skirts, pants, or outerwear.  With wild lines, designs, and shapes, they can give your wardrobe unique flair that will set you apart from the rest of the pack.

Graphic prints are nothing to shy away from: the best way to wear them is unapologetically, of course.  But if you want to tone them down a bit, pair a graphic print piece with a solid color, a classic bag and fantastic shoes, and you’re good to go!

Statement cuff bracelets available at NeimanMarcus.com

Another hot trend for Fall 2011 is statement jewelry.  Just like a statement coat, statement jewelry is a great way to jazz up your existing wardrobe—you don’t have to toss everything out and start from scratch!

With a long history dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Romans, statement jewelry is back again and seen everywhere from runways to discount stores.  It’s huge, colorful, unusual, and it really stands out.

“Look for chunky cuff bracelets, heavy chokers, embellished cuffs adorned with anything (beads, bullets, horns, animals), rhinestone encrusted jewels, pieces with baubles, or dangle earrings,” says wardrobe consultant Delisa.  The sky’s the limit when you’re looking for these eye-catching pieces!

According to Delisa, the great thing about statement jewelry is that it allows you to be more creative with your style and personality.  It’s bold, yet feminine.  You can express yourself by experimenting with pieces that work best for your look and your personality.
