The Effortless FALL Upgrade

Pins, Flats & All Things Chic

There’s something about fall that makes us want to elevate even the simplest looks. Maybe it’s the shift in weather, maybe it’s the return of layering, but one thing is for sure—this season is begging for a little polish.

Lately, I’ve been reaching for pins and brooches—yes, they’re back, and no, they’re not just for your grandma’s jewelry box. A chic YSL pin on your blazer or a Dylan Lex brooch on your knit instantly takes a look from casual to curated. It’s like a one-second style hack.

On the footwear side, I’m living in Prada’s leopard flats (my splurge of the season). They’re neutral enough to wear with anything but bold enough to make a statement. If animal print isn’t your vibe, classic ballet flats and loafers are equally chic and are giving serious “rich-girl fall” energy this year.

Bottom line? Whether it’s a statement earring, a brooch that sparks conversation, or the perfect flat for strolling cobblestones or coffee shops, the easiest way to elevate your fall wardrobe is with a few well-chosen accessories. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact.
