1. Asymmetrical earrings: This trend kind of has a tendency to come and go, and often sticks with small, delicate earrings (liked a moon and star). However, I love the idea of taking it one step further and having mismatched large(r) earrings.
2. Padded headbands: It's been 11 years since Gossip Girl first aired, about 8 years since I got over my subsequent headband phase, and now just a few months since I've rediscovered my love for them. Velvet padded headbands are a stylish way a la Blair Waldorf to herald in the cooler weather.
3. Giant gems: This really speaks for itself. The more colorful, the better.
4. Multicolor baguette rings: If too much color is too much for you, single colored baguette rings have their own elegance to them. Stacking single colored rings also makes for a statement piece. Etsy has a pretty sizable selection of handmade and/or vintage ones.
5. A good, structured blazer: One of the most difficult things to find in terms of finding one that fits well, has a nice pattern, and isn't more than a quarter of your month's rent. The more it looks like it was something your dad wore in the 70's, the better. Preferably more browns than blacks/grey. Bonus points for elbow patches. Double bonus points times infinity if it's actually your dad's blazer from the 70's that you had tailored to fit you.
