Nothing says "fall" quite like the changing colors of leaves. Nothing, that is, except the moment those leaves plummet to the ground and the long, harsh, bone-chilling frost of winter settles in—frightful!

Fortunately, we have sunny jewelry designers—such as NYC-based Urban Bloom—to keep us warm and cheerful. With brilliant goodies such as these gold leaf earrings, you'll have a smile on your face and a rosy glow on your cheeks until the real spring returns. (And heck, they'll still be seasonably stylish!)

Buy one pair of pants, get a second pair half-off...

...for a limited time at New York & Company.
We recommend trying their wide-leg pants, one of this fall's most fashionable silhouettes, as they are both flattering, sophisticated and comfortable. Wide-legs fall straight from the waist and are as wide at the thigh as they are at the hem (which should fall below the ankle, just barely grazing the ground). A welcome relief from skinnies, which have dominated the bottoms scene for quite some time now!
