With all the jewels accentuating clothes this fashion season and the fabrics being shimmery and sheer metallics, accessories are not as big as they were in the spring and summer.

However, a great bag and shoes are always in style. Purses range from small clutch purses to large handbags. The smaller purses are hot in a variety of styles, including the envelope style (the top of purse folds over and clicks to close, like an envelope) and slim clutches and framed-shaped purses (they have a latch fastening the purse closed at the top).
