I used to keep my necklaces in a jewelry box and of course it was a chore to untangle them when I wanted to wear one. I did keep some of my more delicate chains draped over a mirror.

But my mom bought me this cute necklace stand and it's made my life easier. Well, easier when it comes to finding an untangled necklace.

There are tons of ways to wear a scarf, but a hooded scarf introduces a whole new look. I know they makes hooded scarves for kids, and why not make them for adults -- we lose our hats, too! 

I really love Urban Outfitters' 2890 by Arne & Carlos Intarsia Hooded Scarf ($48) -- kind of expensive though. Maybe it's because it's from Scandinavian designers? I love the print and the length. And it delicately drapes over your head.

I also found these....

Last week while on a walk through my neighborhood, I saw this skeleton hanging outside a house. So of course I wanted to pose with it.

I ended up breaking off one of his arms, so here's me trying (and failing) to re-attach it.

If you can ignore the big twin baby belly, you can see me rocking my new coat in this photo -- it's light grey with big buttons and it's from Zara. I've got on my fingerless gloves and a beret that my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I love this beret.

I recently decorated the nursery and my husband and I bought these wall decals that have woodland creatures. There is a deer with big antlers and I love it.

We also bought this wall hanging of deer antlers, but it's really wood carved to look like the antlers. Also love.

So now I want antler earrings.

Me wearing the across the forehead headband.

I live in NYC and the headband is one of those accessories that has made a comeback on the cool kids that go out to clubs and party until after closing time. Of course that doesn't mean lil ole me can't wear one. And I have.

I love them to dress up an outfit -- I wore one at my wedding and also to a friend's wedding recently.

But it's not just if you wear them, it's how you wear a headband.

What the heck is a cloche hat? Popular in the 1920s, this bell shaped hat gets its name from the French word for bell -- cloche.

It was a popular style for flappers. Josephine Baker used to wear a cloche and Angelina Jolie wore one in the movie Changeling.

And I really want one.

While it feels like Fall was overlooked for Old Man Winter here in NYC lately, Fall is my favorite season. The colors! The styles! The layers! The boots!

Elle magazine's Creative Director, Joe Zee, put together a guide to my favorite time of year -- Fall A to Zee. Each letter features a trend, showing off clothes, accessories, or beauty products, and whatever else in on trend and falls into the category.

I really want fingerless gloves and don't try to talk me out of it.

I know some are kind of more fashion-y than functional, but they still warm the hands!

And the way the weather is right now where I am in NYC they are perfect -- just enough coverage but let will my fingers breathe and I'm able to grab things out of my bag more easily.

I can always layer them when it gets colder.

For Breast Cancer Awarenss Month there are tons of clothes, makeup, and accessories you can purchase to show your support. Only in October do I have an actual excuse to shop—it's for a good cause!

Here are some of my favorite pink finds:

This lovely Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon Bracelet by Lisa for Ann Taylor Loft (right), $24.50, is the perfect accessory to dress up a simple black sweater. For every purchase made, $5 will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

When I was in college, I used to go to the hardware store to buy my jewelry. I'm serious. I would get strands of chains and fashion a necklace out of it. Heavy, yes. Also very cost effective for a student with no money.

That thick chain look still looks good and I found some necklaces that I am really loving right now.
