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.

The Pre-Fall 2013 Collection for Tibi. Originally posted in The LOOK

I love nothing more than a great, everyday boot, and nothing makes more sense for every day than a perfect ankle boot. You can rock them with skinnies, of course, or add a bit of edge to a skirt or dress. And the best part about an ankle boot? Where tall boots only make sense for the cold weather months, you can work a short boot into your wardrobe all year long.

For Fall '13, three bootie styles made their way to the top...

Fashion Dare: Zara's Pearl & Chain Necklace

Combination Pearl and Chain Necklace, $39.90, Zara

Oh, Alber Elbaz. I adored your Fall '13 necklaces for Lanvin - so playful, so kitschy, so fun. But I bet you're totally hating on this Zara knock-off right now. They one-upped you with the stars and of-the-moment pearls, and instead of 'Love' and 'Happy', left a much more coy 'Maybe'. As for me, I'm not so undecided - this rockstar necklace is a definite Y-E-S in my books.

I realize it'll be out of style in a season or two but here's one massively important silver lining to consider: someday, many years from now, your daughter/niece/neighbour's kid will have the best costume EVER. Consider it part of your legacy...
