Fall is coming and the trend is all about feathers!  Update your wardrobe with feathers attached to wooden and silver beads on a thin leather strip that can be worn as a headpiece, necklace, belt or even a bracelet!  Also available in salmon pink, baby blue, and magenta.

Knots give this belt a unique twist with tassels, which are extremely popular!  Wear this with stretch jeans or a  pretty dress!  Also available in white and tan.

I love the cool gray, black, ash, sky blue and white colors on this scarf!  The tassels and coins along the edges are a unique touch!

Hats can quickly add sophistication to an outfit or hide a bad hair day!  This straw fedora is lovely tan color for the fall season.
