An outfit isn't complete without the right accessories. From the shine of real diamonds to the glow of fantastic replicas, a little or a lot of jewelry can deliver just the right look. Perhaps a little black dress with the perfect necklace or a showstopper silhouette with understated earrings, either way accessories can be the perfect accent to any ensemble.
And like with our clothing, it's an opportunity to reveal a bit of our personality. It's a glimpse into who we are, our taste and our style. We can go a bit wild with it one day and be a bit more restrained the next. We can borrow our friend's, sister's, or mom's and not have to worry that we're not the right "size." Some pieces last us as season and others a lifetime.
We want to know what you love about accessories. Do you have a favorite piece that you just can't live without? Is jewelry always at the top of your holiday wish list? Do you have accessories that have been passed down through the family that you treasure? Which pieces give you the fondest memories? What stores do you love? Which stores do you frequent?
Hats, rings, scarves, boots, we want to hear what you love the most. Post a review or what you love about accessories to this blog and you'll be entered to WIN some amazing accessories of your own! The contest starts November 1st and ends November 7th at 6:00 p.m. EST.

Good luck!
The one accessory I truly love the most is a scarf. I love wrapping my self up in a comfy scarf..kind of like wearing a little blanket. I also love scarves because I usually wear black and a colorful scarf punches it up. When I actually dress up I love necklaces and a great shoe!
My staples are silver hoops, a necklace from "the vintage pearl" that has my kid's names on it and my wedding ring. I also love to wear a scarf - especially these days!
Accessories can make an outfit go from good to great! I wear my diamond stud earrings, diamond necklace and tennis bracelet to make a LBD really stand out. But my favorite is a chunky heart shaped silver and turquois necklace with silver hoop earrings with jeans and a great top and black leather boots.
I love pearls because they are truly good day and night...they aren't just for debutante balls anymore, but rather they go to casual lunches or black tie affairs with great success!...
I love costume jewelry. It does not have to cost a lot but still can jazz up an outfit. The more sparkle, the better.
An hermes scarf makes any outfit look like a milion dollar ...
Shiny wins. I think accessories are more important than the clothes, especially when they are unique.
You can tell alot about a person by the jewelry they wear. My favorite accessory is my white gold engagement ring. When my husband was shopping for it I would only tell him that I wanted a ring that was simple yet ornated. And he did it! My wedding band is a diamond ring guard that compliments it perfectly. I never go anyway without them.
I have been a jewelry freak since the age of 4. Mom bought me costume rings, a watch, bracelets, necklaces, you name it! I can't live without jewelry, whether it be costume or fine. I have been an avid antique jewelry collector since app. 1993, and am now into collecting vintage costume pieces as well. Jewelry is a window to your soul and an indicator of one's personality. One of my fave pieces is actually very sentimental. My fave Great Auntie CeCe left me a beautiful turn of the century rose-gold bracelet originally owned by her mother-in-law. The sentimental value of this bracelet is enormous and brings forth happy memories of her when I wear it. I have no daughters to pass on my jewelry. Therefore, my nieces will be in for a treat one of these days!
Accessories can add color and elegance to an outfit.
I love hoop earrings! They are my favorite accessory. Classic, and go with everything! I love differing sizes and metals too!
Diamond stud earrings, always appropriate, go with everything. I never take mine off.
Accessories make the difference in your look! Be it classy with diamonds and pearls or fun with big colored accessories or simply with silver and gold. It makes a difference it how you feel about yourself as well.
