All About Accessories!

It’s called the accessory gene. Every woman is born with it, some have it stronger than others, but we all have it when we say, “I need that bag to go with my boots!” Seriously, in my family we do call it the accessory gene! It’s the ability to throw an outfit together and look amazing by combining shoes, bags, scarves, and jewelry that just make the outfit. So many times my sister will say to me, “Did you know that necklace would be perfect with that top?” and we will share a smile and say, “The accessory gene!”

Thank goodness for Saturday, September 15, when we embrace our love of accessories all day long, and yes, that means a lot of shoes! (We have a two-hour Shoe Shopping with Jane planned for 3pm ET.) But there's so much more, including all the hottest accessory trends we'll cover all day long, like these:


Scarves: This fall, scarves come in all shapes, sizes, prints, colors, and materials! Think of a scarf as a piece of jewelry you use to give your outfit some added pop. I love them because I'm convinced that they make me look taller and thinner by balancing the hips. Bring on the scarves!


Leather and Suede: Not only are combinations of leather and suede looking very fresh this season, but suede in an abundance of color is coming on strong. You can do it in boots, a handbag, or even a jacket.


Comfy Cozy: I’m thinking falling leaves, a nip in the air, a mug of hot cocoa—that’s the feeling of this trend. Layer sweaters with wraps and capes, add a legging and a great boot (coming up next!) and you have captured this look. The color palette is soft and cozy, too.


Boots: What can I say? They're always in style! But this year, they go up to the knees, slouch around the ankles, and everywhere in between. From a higher heel to “funky chunky,” it's the season to indulge in your love of boots, and at QVC, we’ve got it covered!


Statement Necklaces: This is no time to be shy! Think big, bold, and intense colors. When I was shooting for QVC about this trend I was even amazed at how my simple Susan Graver dress was transformed every time I changed my necklace.


Ladylike: I saved my favorite—the best—for last! I have long felt I was born way too late. I love the photos of my mom in her dresses and hats and gloves, with a bag to match! From faux-pearl jewelry to the season must-have satchel handbag, you'll be charming everyone in your ladylike looks.
