Word on the Sphere: November 2
This week we found fabulous must-have accessories to pump up your fashionista stature and turn others green with envy:
Splendora warms us with Zero + Maria Cornejo Fingerless Gloves as a fashionable accessory to keep you toasty through the fall and winter months. Fingerless gloves aren’t just for post-pubescent hipsters or angsty pop stars like Avril Lavigne. Chilean designer Maria Cornejo used sumptuous cotton cashmere for her take on the style. The gloves extend to the elbows, allowing them to be scrunched to create different looks and warm your arms as needed.
FabSugar highlights these L’Agenda Moderne colorful leather business card holders. They’re cute and perfect to slip into your bag — just in case you meet someone worth seeing again. These colors will brighten up your day and will really pop during the upcoming gray and white months.
Delight enjoys the Ahoy Canvas Swallow Tote and tells us that birds are ‘in’ everywhere; on plates, t-shirts, pillows, and more. The same can be said of the nautical theme, so here are the two trends combined into one classically adorable bag. This durable, lined canvas tote will take you through fall into winter with style and a bit of sass. Not a detail was left off this bag – a sweet combo of appliqué and embroidery is topped off with a satin sash that gives it a little something for everyone.
SheFinds brags about the Botkier Bianca Satchel as a must-have for this season. Spotted on the arms of celebs like Jennifer Garner and Lindsay Lohan, a Botkier has become one of the most coveted bags around. The Bianca comes in soft lambskin leather with polished brass hardware and easily accessible zip pockets on the outside. Due to its high demand, however, retailers report that the stylish sacks sell so quickly they can hardly keep them in stock.
Stylehive reminds us of Diane Keaton‘s character Annie Hall, and the borrowed-from-the-boys approach to dressing. Tailored vests, wide-legged pants and the classic button-down shirt look effortless, and can be dressed up with accessories, like a sophisticated hat, a striped scarf, or trendy oxfords. This look is best when you mix in one feminine element, like a tweed mini skirt, or a billowy white shirt to balance out the masculine pieces.
According to a recent Shopping.com consumer survey, 64 percent of respondents said that their top pick for the most popular pop culture costume this year was “

As many of you already know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As someone who has close personal ties to several breast cancer survivors, I hold the cause very near and dear to my heart.
For a party in New Orleans, throw in Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold and weave a bead necklace throughout the top of the veil’s headband. 
Or, for a tropical destination party, buy scrapbooking stickers of palm trees, sea shells and swim suits to sweeten up the tiara. Use chipboard letters to spell out the bride’s name or a funny phrase.
A party in Vegas requires some vice-laden accessories like playing cards, poker chips and martini glasses.
However, during a recent trip to San Diego, I tried on a black BCBG bubble skirt on a whim. I was an instant convert! Right away I saw the versatility of it - it can be casual with flats, it can be worn to work, and even out to a nice dinner with the right heels. I was excited and had to have it. This brown Theory bubble skirt is similar to the BCBG one I bought in black and I’ve worn it with a cropped jacket in yellow, black and white and fitted and bright-colored cap-sleeve t-shirts.
Definitely stay away from too much bubble. You’ll look like a flying saucer about to take-off!
