A little burst of inspiration is often all that's needed to transform so-so to stunning. The right clutch can make or break a glam night-out ensemble, for example, and the perfect pair of earrings brings a festive twinkle to an otherwise humdrum look. Clearly the devil is in the details most of the time, and right now we're seeking inspiration somewhere quite obvious: color.

Bright, joyous pops of color can make fall's dramatic, sometimes somber and often neutral palettes much more intriguing. There's no rule that states you have to leave your kaleidoscopic shades for the warmest months of the year. In fact, now is a great time to make a bold statement with a vibrant top, a showy bauble or some other accoutrement that will leave them all breathless. Here are a few of our favorites:

This one's for the fellas. Boldly go where no time has gone before! The futuristic face of the Nooka Watch makes this a fun timekeeper, not to mention a great conversation starter. Guys, I don't suggest working this piece into your corporate attire (unless you work in sports or entertainment) but if you must-- opt for the black Nooka watch for a more sophisticated style. Better yet, check out the latest more mature style from Nooka called Zaz. It will release later this fall but is available for pre-order at Watchismo for $380. What's different about Zaz? It sports a translucent see-thru face to match the wearer's skin tone which gives the illusion that time is on your side (literally), has a polished stainless steel casing (no rubber here) and you can choose from black leather, white leather or silver mesh band. Cool, huh?

Faux fur gives coats, vests, accessories and more a luxe look for less. Steal the look from runways and celebrities, but save your money by going with faux fur instead of the real thing.

Anyone who knows me-- knows, I'm a jewelry junkie. When I came across this Couture Couture by Juicy Couture Long Strand Bead & Coin Necklace I was immediately drawn to the charming strands of rich, gold coins. For a moment, I was hypnotized by the deep, black beads as they peered into the soul of my shameless superego-- saying... 'buy me'. Sweaty palms, racing heart, I absolutely had to add this to my jewelry stash that's already bursting at the seams (literally). Do I really need it? Yes, I've already booked a date with a LBD that's been waiting for the perfect companion. Just when I was about to give in to my addiction, I caught a quick glance of the $268 price tag (cue the sound of a balloon deflating here)... whoa- that was a close one! Oh but wait, after a second look... it was actually on sale for 50% off. Oh, the love of versatility, instant style and a sweet sale-- sealed the deal. Gotta love it! ~muah

If you're in love with the girl of your dreams, but the timing isn't right to start thinking engagement, a promise ring is a sweet way to show her how you feel. A promise ring is just that -- a ring that symbolized a promise, a commitment. Maybe you're too young to be getting engaged, or you haven't been dating long enough, or you just haven't saved up the money to buy the engagement ring you want to give her -- a promise ring tells her you love her, and want to give her that engagement ring one day.
