orange isn't just for halloween

skip the wacky halloween costume and invest in some chic orange accessories you can sport all year long.  a luxurious silk scarf, an elegant beaded necklace or a punchy pouch will certainly come in more handy. 

as for me, this is as close to a costume as i could get...

pretty in pink

the beautiful soft pink color that played a leading character alongside molly ringwald in pretty in pink is ever so popular this fall. much like the movie, this shade of pink is romantic and fun. don't leave it behind with the rest of your summer wardrobe, mix it easily with creamy whites and light blue denim. or make it more dramatic and pair it with black.
