As much as I love summer weather, fall and winter have so much more to offer in the fashion department. Unless you're a size 0, or can still cute in a baby doll dress, summer can be a harsh mistress.

Bring on winter, with hefty, tailored coats, structured skirts, and full-impact boots. This year make sure you have all the hits like an ultra-feminine leather coat, one-shouldered dresses, and purple highlights.

That's right, baby. Purple's back!

It's the perfect excuse to add a splash to your winter wardrobe with bright clutches, bright coats and big jewels. When you accessorize this season, remember that your jewelry has a lot more to compete with, and small, pale earrings will get lost under high coat collars and scarves.

Stay bright, yet ladylike with clustered amethyst and pink sapphire earrings, go sexy with layered chain, get a little edgy with amethyst slave earrings, or stay delicate with a hand-knotted garnet and amethyst necklace.
