My Favorite Jewelry Trends for Fall

As back-to-school approaches, I can't help but look forward to the Fall season. One of the best things about Fall in my opinion, is the fashion! With tall boots and suede hats to chic satchels and statement jewelry, it's the best time of the year to have fun with accessories. Personally, one of my favorite Autumn accessories, and the easiest way to update an outfit, is jewelry. From a big bold ear cuff to minimal gold necklaces with interesting little pendants, my fashion forecast for Fall this year includes more modern and sleek pieces.

For example, while I tend to love a pair of sparkly statement studs or a larger dangling statement earring, this Fall I see a modern ear cuff being one of the biggest earring trends, and it's definitely one of my favorite jewelry trends! It looks great on its own or paired with some gold hoops, and you can even pair it with a cool ear crawler. These elegant and modern ear cuffs come with sleek built-in tassel earrings.

Christmas Home Tour


Traditional reds adorn our trees, garland, and Christmas wreaths.
 
From birds and pinecones to florals and fruit, our traditional Christmas decor displays elements of nature as the central theme.

An old-fashioned miniature Christmas village lends itself to the traditional Christmas decor.


Simple dollar-store finds, like red candles and the "Merry Christmas" tray pictured above increase the festive look without costing a lot of money.

Red velvet bows on all of the greenery provide a cohesive look to our Christmas decorations.

 


In our dining room, a second Christmas tree is decorated with red velvet bows and vintage-inspired ornaments. The red and white florals and plain red baubles tie it in with the family tree in our living room. Ribbon hung vertically on the wall by our dining table displays Christmas cards, and on our table sits one simple mini Christmas tree.

I've always seen gift wrapping as another opportunity for Christmas decor. Ours matches the rest of the room both by it's red colors and the natural elements.


 It doesn't take a lot of money or time to create beautiful, cohesive Christmas decor. For me it's all about picking both a main color or two and a central theme, then tying them together by repeating one specific element. For example, I tied every area together by incorporating red velvet ribbons in each section. What does your Christmas style look like this year?

    It looks beautiful! I love all the details. I have always wanted a garland for my staircase, but with four boys, it's been impossible. On that note, my decorating style this year is one-year old toddler. Our tree is a mess with all the ornaments he's been picking off and we've replaced up high. Our tree is naked from the waist down (hee hee).

      Thanks, Katherine. Yeah, I just started doing that this year w/the presents. It should help with sorting them on Christmas morning!

    What beautiful pictures and a beautiful house. We love Christmas and do a lot of decorating too. The comment above about what a one year old can do to a tree reminds me of my sister-in-law who put their tree in a play pen (do they have those anymore?) to keep their smallest child away from it.
    I wish everyone a Merry Christmas or Happly Holiday filled with family, friends, fun, and peace.

      Thanks! I even toned it down this year...I usually do the outside and some of the bedrooms, but I just stuck with the main living areas this year. I'm a tad bit obsessed w/the holidays.
