In case you haven’t noticed, while we’re outside sunning ourselves on the beach or by the pool, the stores are now filled with fall merchandise.  Wool skirts, coats, tights, long sleeves, they’re everywhere you look.  Although you couldn’t possibly think of wearing them right now during the heat, this is a great time to buy for fall, as you have the widest variety of sizes and styles.

Here’s what to look for this fall.

Hot shades of purple and pink – find yourself a great statement clutch, a pair of shoes, a couple bangles, or a loud scarf in either of these eye popping colors.  Save the head to toe look for the kids, but embrace these bold colors through your accessories to stay modern and on trend.

Cobalt blue is back! – It was in a couple years ago, and is making a come back this fall.  As this is an easier color to wear than the hot pinks and purples I mentioned above, you can indulge yourself a little more.  Find a great cobalt wrap dress or a wonderful winter wool skirt.  You’ll be turning heads in no time.

Add a splash of leopard! – Although many other animal prints are on the market, leopard is the classic.  Add a dash of leopard print in a belt, a great pair of heals, or an amazing scarf.  Pair these accessories with all black or all white for a truly classic yet modern look.  A little leopard goes a long way, so keep it in your accessories.
