Fall Fashion: Clothes

Fall Fashion: Accessories

Fall Fashion: Handbags

Fall Fashion: Shoes

We'd all like our personal wardrobes to be as expansive as the fashion closet at Vogue but most of us live a more subtle life than that. Still, it's not difficult to update your personal style, even if you don't have Vogue's bank account behind you. These tips will add color to your cheeks all the while keeping you warm and stylish throughout the season.

Forget the economy. You can still dress to the nines. Consider these looks for fall, 2009:

Animal prints rule

It's a jungle out there. Take advantage of nature's perfect patterns with reptile-inspired pieces that fit like a second skin. Accessorize with shoes that copy a crocodile or handbags with stripes that mimic a zebra.

Rockin' the look of leather and denim

Only rock and roll? There's no only about it. Music inspired leather to new heights and this season fashion provides the chorus. Beef up a frilly skirt with a leather jacket. Embrace it, wrap it around your waist, or kick it in knee-high boots. Lacing doesn't have to be delicate.

Accentuating the positives

Ruffle the dull workday by adding a touch of well-placed flounce either on a blouse or softly at the wrist. Adorn yourself in cuff bracelets, necklaces that mix textures and styles, and earrings that add as much drama as they do sparkle.

It's hip to be square in plaid

Color outside the lines by mixing bold patterns and colors. It's a mad for plaid that's not to be confused with the school uniform of your youth.

Layers - because if one is good then two must be better

Think skinny jeans but bulky top. This fall it should be easy to keep warm with layers one upon the other. A scarf or chunky details like a collection of necklaces will hold the look in place.

Personal style is in the details

Autumn has inspired its own color palette. Dashes of color - geranium, anyone? - add punch to any look. Keep the spirit going with bands of gold and silver at the wrist or around the neck.

Jump into winter white

Jump out of your old habits and into winter whites. Embrace vibrant colors inspired by the warmth of the sun. Make getting dressed an adventure in personal style.
