Fashion is in the details and for Fall '13, we can't agree more. These super chic extras might be small but they pack a powerful punch. Check out our edit of must-have accessories, guaranteed to bring your style to the next level, even when you're all bundled up... 

  Fingerless Leather Gloves, $39, Danier 

The Trend: A Leather Accent

How to Pull It Off: A little leather (faux or real) goes a long way. A pair of driving gloves, a moto bomber or a studded clutch (see below) will infuse your look with a little biker edge.

  

Glass Earrings, $10, ALDO

The Trend: Pink Accents

How to Pull It Off: This season, soft pink and other pretty pastels are having a moment. We love sparkly pink earrings because they cast a dazzling light on every complexion.

Animal Print Skinny Belt, $10, American Eagle

The Trend: An Animal Print Belt  

How to Pull It Off: Black pants, white shirts, and solid crewneck sweaters are kind of zzzzz on their own  for work - but add an animal print belt and you've got yourself an outfit. Add it to cinch the waist of your favourite wool coat or little black dress, or to add interest to your distressed jeans.  

Chenille Knit Loop Scarf, $28, RW&CO.

The Trend: Teddy Bear Outerwear

How to Pull It Off: Not a big style secret here - a cozy chenille scarf, headband or even coat are the perfect cozy antidote to a cold winter day. Expect hugs.

I've often wondered if there's one shining answer to every fashion dilemma and I'm happy to report that I've found it. What do you wear when you've hit the snooze button one too many times? Black & White. What about those days when you have absolutely nothing to wear? Black & White. A super important interview? Black & White. Something to help you look slimmer? You guessed it - Black and White. The non-colour combo is sometimes overlooked for being 'basic' or 'obvious', but here's the thing about this classic trend - not only does it solve nearly any what-to-wear dilemma but designers have been obsessed with the pairing lately, sending black & white looks down the runways of NY, Milan and Paris all season long. Given what It girls like Rihanna and K. Stew are rocking this week at the Paris Fall '13 Couture shows, looks like B&W is here to stay...

Next to the Oscars, my fave sartorial sporting event to hit the red carpet has to be the Costume Institute Gala - aka the Met Ball. This year's theme? PUNK: Chaos to Couture, an homage to that rocker era of the early nineties complete with bad-ass spikes, studs and safety pins, a super fun change from the typical glam gowns we usually see. Here are a few of my fave celeb looks from last night - fave because these stars went ALL out with their bad girl ear cuffs and heavy metal extras from hip jeweler to the stars, Genevieve Jones. Um, is Cara Delevingne not the freaking coolest thing you have ever seen? Some people are just born with It.  I, on the other hand, have a little work to do. Hmm...now where did I stash those safety pins...
