With Fall here, the store is filling up with edgy accessories you can easily transition into your Fall wardrobe.  Some of the stand out pieces include this heavy multi-chain necklace pictured below from local jeweler KR Designs ($65).  I love the pink pearl strand, it just adds a feminine touch next to the bold chain.   My favorite must have accessory is the silver and gold studded leather glove ($52).  LOVE!
