7 OOTDs for the Week: How to Accessorize like a NYFW Fashion Blogger

Style bloggers are known for their eccentric flair. But come Fashion Week, the stakes to show off your best style tricks are raised. That’s when accessorizing comes into play more than ever. After all, topping off a striking silhouette or classic pairing with an unexpected accent is what turns outfits from cool to covetable. So, we’re taking this post-NYFW week as an opportunity to look back and learn from the best (aka some of the most stylish ladies on Instagram). Scroll through these seven #OOTDs below for your weekly outfit inspiration including tips on how to accessorize like a street style star.

1. @gigihadid: NYFW’s breakout model Gigi Hadid shows how the right pair of shades can really complete the look. Her oversized mirrored cat eyes emit the same edgy cool girl vibes as her super studded biker jacket.

2. @susiebubble: Next level athleisere is all about prep school levels of spirit and less about wearing sweats outside. Blogger Susie Bubble wears her team pride on more than just her sleeve (that furry varsity jacket!) with a jersey inspired clutch and classic Chuck Taylor high tops.

3. @bat_gio: According to fashion writer Giovanna Battaglia, staying warm can be as cozy and chic as you want it to be. Play up the bundled feel with warm luxe fabrics instead of bulky layers like faux fur, soft suede and thick knits (extra points for Pom Pom tassels).

4. @eleonoracarisi: Italian blogger Eleonra Carisi scores a sartorial hat trick with this outfit that incorporates the three most majorly posh trends of fall: power suits, stoles and waist belts. Consider this your #Girlboss go-to.

5. @weworewhat: It’s hard to pick just one thing to focus on in this clique’s outfits, but when it comes down to it, it’s really all about the ’70s-style shoes from the star spangled ankle boots on blogger Danielle Bernstein + fashion writer Camille Charrière that would look just as good on the festival grounds to the office-ready knee highs on model Chelsea Leyland, it’s clear that breezy glamour runs from head to toe this season.

6. @lookdepernille: This season’s hottest pop of color is also the most versatile wearable hue: red. On an all-denim outfit like on Danish blogger Prenille Teisbaek, her purse provides a classic color combo that makes her look feel all the more put together. But this also works with makeup — consider your favorite red polish and lip shade equally important accessories.

7. @margaret__zhang: These two bloggers show how refreshing it can be to skip the standard accent pieces. Instead of reaching for a statement necklace, go with a thin scarf or bandana to dress up your neckline like Margaret Zhang, and instead of reaching for your beanie, try a just-as-casual, but more unexpected ball cap like Irene Kim.

This fall, there are so many stylish ways to elevate your outfit, from French Girl Fall ballet flats to boho chic western belts. And while all of these accessories match the moment, they're all so good that they could become staples in your wardrobe for years to come. So buckle up and grab your credit card because we've compiled a list of all of our current fave fall accessories to stock up on this season!

Fall Jewelry

Nordstrom

Nordstrom Cord Pendant Necklace

A statement necklace will take any simple outfit and instantly give it some character and class. This one here is what all the cool girls are wearing this fall — cord pendant necklaces! They're very reminiscent of the '90s, but they're back and better than ever this fall!

Revolve

Heaven Mayhem Icon Watch

Heaven Mayhem quickly solidified itself as an iconic and classic brand. They recently delved into the world of watches, they've already graced thousands of "It" Girl wrists with their timeless styles. Keep an eye out for this brand, because they're not going anywhere!

Revolve

Heaven Mayhem Gigi Earrings

Statement earrings are another Heaven Mayhem staple! In my opinion, these instantly make your look way more chic! I love some good statement earrings to make a simple sweater, boots, and jeans outfit appear more put together and classy. These pearl ones are great because they'll compliment any look you decide to wear this fall!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Pearl Bag Charm

The Jane Birkin-ifying your bags continues! Remember when you used to decorate your crocs with pins? This is the adult version of that! You can take fun charms like this one, and completely personalize all of your purses this fall! I love this trend, and definitely think it will be here to stay!

Fall Belts

Nordstrom

Madewell Leather Belt

A good quality, leather belt is an essential in every wardrobe, especially for the fall and winter months. This will immediately make your outfit look more polished and tailored — plus, you can take everything to the next level when paired with matching shoes or a bag! I definitely plan on purchasing this belt from Madewell — it's only $58! This one is a classic accessory that will last you for multiple seasons!

Nordstrom

Treasure And Bond Oversize Buckle Leather Belt

Boho chic is one of the top fall trends this year, and an essential component of that? Western wear. It's not quite a full yeehaw-core, but more of a subtle hint of cowboy mixed with more modern styles. This belt is perfect for that, giving you a sleek black leather paired with silver and teal accents.

Banana Republic Factory

Banana Republic Factory Leather Corset Whipstitch Belt

Another more modern take on western wear, this corset belt is incredibly chic! We've seen a lot of corsetry over the last few years, but this is a simple — and likely less restrictive — take on that. I could see this over a crisp white button down and some dark wide legged jeans to accentuate your style.

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Buckle Belt

Everyone needs an accessory that gives them that pop of color to make their outfit go from "cute" to "CUTE!" This is that accessory for me. It has a unique shape so bonus point there, AND it also comes in this gorgeous, bright red — which is one of our fall trending colors this year!

Fall Bags

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Fiona Beaded Bag

A statement bag is another "must" on our list for fall 2024, and this beaded option from Anthro definitely fits the bill. It's a simple black bag, but the studded, gold heart detailing gives it a little character — which I love to add to my outfits! It's a fun way to inject some personality into your daily 'fits!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Horsebit Bag

Gucci, who? Anthropologie has entered the convo, and at a much, much cheaper price point. This horse-bit bag is all I can think about with its combination of perfectly vintage, and perfectly trending shape! It's truly the ideal statement piece to up the ante on any outfit! Obsessed!

Free People

Free People Bobbi Slouch Suede Tote

Slouchy bags are back and they're better than ever, TBH. This suede tote from Free People is one of my favorites this season, and it would go perfectly with the charms I talked about earlier! Grab this bag for that effortless je ne sais quoi!

Quince

Quince Italian Leather Trapeze Crossbody

This Polène dupe is honestly everything — and so much cheaper! You can get this TikTok-loved style for about 80% less, and it's genuine Italian leather. Plus, you can never have too many solid brown bags for the fall, if you ask me!

Fall Shoes

J.Crew

J.Crew Logan Mary Janes

These bright red shoes will make the perfect statement to accessorize your outfit with! The pop of red is my favorite way to add flair to my outfits this fall. You simply take an otherwise neutral or simple outfit, add these red shoes, and voila — instantly more fashionable. These satin mary janes will definitely help you to stay on trend.

Mango

Mango Cow Print Shoes

Cow print is my favorite up-and-coming trend this fall, and I know we'll be seeing more and more of it! If this animal print seems to be too much for you, then opt for these shoes that have a more mild cow-print on them. This lets you test the trend without it being too out of your comfort zone!

Target

Target Lonnie Kitten Heel Stretch Ankle Boots

Boots are always a nice touch to a fall 'fit, but these pointed toe kitten heels take it to the next level. Their sleek profile can go with just about any look, giving a more demure and mature touch to your style. Plus, who doesn't love an excuse to get more Target shoes?

Tecovas

Tecovas The Annie Boots

And for the final cherry on top of your fall accessories, these Tecovas boots are everything. Like I said before, western wear is the moment this year, and a classy pair of cowboy boots are a great way to take on the trend. This shade of "sequoia" brown is rich and luxurious, but just subtle enough to go with about anything.

Last year, some of us celebrated the holidays apart from our families for the first time. COVID has brought with it many changes, some of them arguably positive (like increased flexibility to work from home), some difficult (such as the realization of vastly different political and social views between family and friends), and some horrible (obviously, the health implications of a global pandemic). However, for some of us, celebrating the holidays without family members isn't exclusively due to COVID. In addition to so many of us living in different areas than our families of origin, some of us simply don't have close bonds with the people we grew up around. Sometimes, this can cause loneliness.

If you're not close with your family members, the holidays can be a difficult time. This is doubly true if you don't have a close circle of friends to call upon. But make no mistake, if this sounds like your situation, you're not alone — there are thousands of other people going through the same struggles you are. We sat down with Irad Eichler, founder of Circles, a website that connects people who are sharing similar struggles, like heartbreak, grief, or loneliness. Here are some of Eichler's tips for coping — and even thriving! — during the holiday season when you're not planning on spending it with your family, for one reason or another.

Don't Fall For "Perfect Families" On Social Media

Laura Chouette

The first VERY important step to having a joyous holiday season when you're going it alone is to stop believing the narrative that others' family situations are perfect, Eichler says.

"Remember people only post a moment in time, and only the moments when they look their happiest and best."

In addition to the fact that everything you see on social media is curated for the 'gram, it's also important to remember that by focusing on what others have and you lack, you risk failing to see the great things at play in your own life.

"These holiday periods can become a time of focusing on who and what we don't have, rather than who or what we do, and can cause a negative spiral into depressing and dreadful feelings of inadequacy," says Eichler.

Gratitude is the reason for the season, after all. So instead of only seeing the negative, try some gratitude journal prompts to help you focus on what's actually really wonderful about your life right now.

Make An Effort To Deepen New Connections

Joel Muniz

While it may seem like everyone has friends and family to spend time with during the holiday season, that doesn't mean no one is available for deepening a blossoming relationship or new friendship.

"Make a list of people you can or would like to connect with, and try to reach out to at least one of them," advises Eichler.

Reaching out doesn't have to mean a big plan or an hour-long conversation. Even a quick text letting a friendly coworker know you're thinking about them can go a long way toward deepening the relationship and moving it in the direction of closer friendship.

Don't have an acquaintance in mind? Then it's time to make new acquaintances. What's more in line with the Christmas spirit than attending a Meetup or event full of people eager to make new friends?

"Join groups with similar interests to yours, such as hiking, baking, or games. Push your boundaries and be brave - you might find new people who have much in common with you."

Give Back

Priscilla Du Preez

The holiday season is a great time to focus on giving back to your community, and coincidentally, acts of generosity and kindness are known to reduce loneliness and help people feel happier. One study found that knowing a few of your neighbors and doing small acts of kindness for them — such as cheering them up, listening to them, mowing their lawn, providing advice about local business recommendations and job opportunities, and chatting over the fence — was statistically correlated with feeling less lonely and having a lower risk of depression.

Helping out elderly neighbors can be a particularly gratifying way to give back.

"Notice older lonely people in your neighborhood or community who might have no family at all, and offer to help them," says Eichler. "These can become mutually meaningful connections, and help you 'adopt' a grandparent."

Connect With Others Online

Thought Catalog

Finally, use the Internet for its highest and best purpose: to connect people. Whether you're using Meetup to find in-person events, digital forums for having conversations about special interests, or programs like Circle for getting support from others in your situation, the opportunities to create new connections are practically endless.

"There are many interest groups that can be found digitally, where or any person can connect with others in the same life stage, going through the same challenges, or who would like to explore the same interests," Eichler states. "Meaningful connections can be formed easily in these circumstances. The Internet enables us to find and connect to people all over the world who fit this, and to whom we can become more easily attached, as we are able to find people with the exact interests that energize us."

In case you missed it, we’re wearing fun socks for fall. The fashion girlies are now ditching the basic white crew sock for more colorful styles, and I am so here for it! Fun socks – from stripes to shimmers – are such an easy way to spice up any ‘fit. Let ‘em show alongside your favorite fall sneakers, riding boots, loafers, ballet flats, and Mary Janes, and you’re well on your way to a unique look you’ll want to rock every single day. These 14 pairs of fun socks will undoubtedly earn you *all* the compliments this upcoming season.

Free People

HOiSUM Sunlit Stripe Sock

These rainbow-striped socks are the epitome of coziness. The knit is super tight, so your feet will also stay warm well into winter. These hit at the calf when they're fully pulled up, but you can definitely opt for the slouchy look for lower-profile shoes.

Urban Outfitters

Intarsia Bow Sock

These bow-dotted socks are the perfect feminine accessory to pair with ballet flats or Mary Janes, like pictured above. They boast a crew length, which you could also easily make work for boots or sneakers!

Urban Outfitters

Ariana Bow Crew Sock

Give me all the bows! These patterned crew socks emit sophisticated vibes, which wears well with any sort of flat or short heel. They also come in light pink or black to suit your personal style.

Free People

Plush Inside Out Crew Socks

These super-soft socks with an "inside out" look make the perfect 'laze around the house' piece. Both the heel and toe have a contrasting color to the main colorway. As comfy as they are, you'll definitely wanna show off the cute terrycloth construction with your go-to sneaks this fall.

Doublesoul

Lyssie Lovely Bow Ultrahigh Sock

These socks hit right above the knee, so they're gonna look so cute alongside some tall boots for fall time. They're made using organic cotton, recycled nylon, and eco-friendly dyes to deliver a fit that feels natural on your skin – never itchy.

Baggu

Baggu Crew Sock in 'Cherub Bows'

Baggu's sock collection is everything. They have so many different colors and patterns to choose from, though I think this navy and cream is great for any fall outfit.

Urban Outfitters

Lace-Trim Floral Crew Sock

These dainty crew socks flaunt some frills along the tops, perfect for peeking out of booties or sneakers. The material is fairly thin, so your feet can breathe.

Sock Candy

Sock Candy Bold Blue Floral Sheer Crew Sock

Sheer socks FTW! No one does sheer socks better than Sock Candy, plus their eccentric patterns are such an easy way to spice up your get-up. This bold floral design will stick out of your loafers or Mary Janes just enough to make a nice style statement.

Doublesoul

Caroline Neapolitan Ultrahigh Sock

This Neapolitan ice cream-inspired colorway is meant to be seen. This pair lands right above the knee, so they'll work wonderfully with tall boots or even a simple pair of loafers if you want to show more sock. I think this color combo is perfectly cozy for fall and opens up a lot of matching possibilities with other neutrals!

DSW

Crown Vintage Floral Scalloped Women's Crew Socks

If you want to dress up your fall shoes every day of the week, make sure to snag a set of fun socks ahead of the new season. This vintage-y collection from Crown Vintage is balanced between solids and patterns to keep you on your toes.

Urban Outfitters

Pinstripe Knit Crew Sock

The coziness! I can't get enough. These knitted socks look like the perfect pairing for the classic Birkenstock sandals, which is a total fall uniform for casual days.

Bombas

Bombas Lightweight Bow Quarter Sock 3-Pack

Keep the bow trend alive with this 3-pack set of socks from Bombas. The extra-long staple cotton this pair is made of hugs your feet just right, keeping them supported all day long. I'd absolutely style these socks with Adidas Sambas and a mini skirt for a 'fit that's equal parts feminine and sporty.

Baggu

Baggu Ribbed Sock in 'Beige Mix'

Baggu strikes again with this cute color-blocked pair. These are soft and stretchy while still retaining some nice thickness and structure for year-round wear!

Sock Candy

Celestial Shimmer Crew Sock

These crew socks are sheer magic, literally. They're spotted in celestial designs all while boasting a slight sheerness to let your feet breathe. To step out, I'd pair them with some basic sandal heels or even sneakers!

Zach Bryan and Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia's explosive breakup is everywhere right now. From his seemingly one-sided social media posts to all the bombshell revelations she keeps dropping, it's clear this split is NOT amicable. Both parties are dropping tons of lore, info, and everything in between — including new music?! — right now, so it makes sense if you can't keep up. Luckily, I'm here to help break this breakup down for you! Here's everything you need to know about Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry's relationship...or lack thereof.

October 22, 2024 – Zach Bryan Announces His Breakup With Brianna Chickenfry

On October 22, 2024, after some recent speculation that Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry split up, Zach took to his Instagram stories. The country star said, "Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I'll always thank her."

He continued, noting, "I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna's privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too."

To wrap it all up, he closed by apologizing to his fans. He said, "With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself."

Brianna hopped on her own Instagram stories shortly there after. She posted, "Hey guys I'm feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I'm ready I'll be back and ready to talk. I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything's always gonna be okay 🫶"

The Brianna got on Youtube next, posting a raw, emotional video about the situation. Sitting on the floor of her bathroom, she opened up as much as she could in the moment about her breakup. She said, "I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn't text me, he didn't call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, like, 'Are you okay?'"

Brianna, with her teary eyes and red face, explained she's been crying for "five days straight." She said, "I'm at the point where it's like, how can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like through stuff that you shouldn't because you just love them and you want them... like you see the good in them?"

The internet personality said that this is all "so embarrassing" and "really, really heartbreaking." She elaborated that the couple broke up on October 21, but wanted to process on her own and "didn't want it to be public."

Much like her Instagram story, she told her audience that she'll come back when she's ready.

November 7, 2024 — Brianna Claims Zach's Emotionally Abusive, Wanted $12Mil NDA

Well, it appears this week, Brianna decided she's ready. On Barstool Sports' BFF's Pod November 7, 2024, Brianna gave an inside look at the breakup unlike any other. Not only did she claim Zach was abusive, but she also alleged that he offered her a $12 million NDA to "not talk about the relationship."

After saying it's been the hardest year of her life, she said. "I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him. My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad and last week, I didn't want to talk about it 'cause I was scared."

Brianna then described the alleged emotional abuse. She noted that everything was cyclical and that he would build her up only to break her back down again. "There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself to sleep every night, why he's screaming at me," she said. "And then you wake up, it's the apology, it's the 'I'm going to be better like I need you in my life,' but if you've been through this — I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been through it. I hope you never have to go through it but if you've been there you know what I'm talking about."

Not only does Brianna allege she was offered an NDA, but she said that other women that came before her had to sign their own agreements. She declined the offer because she didn't want to "sign away [her] experiences and what [she] went through to protect someone that hurt [her]." She also wanted to share this experience for other women who've suffered something similar.

And when it comes to the logistics of losing out on the famous lifestyle and alleged $12 million? She said, "It was never about the money — I was with the dude because I loved the dude."

November 8, 2024 — Zach Quit Touring Amid Abuse Allegations

On November 8, 2024, Zach posted on Instagram — where he clearly loves to share all his big news — that not only is his new single "High Road" out today, but that he's also ending his tour early. Read his full statement here:

After not being home for a year and a half I drove out to my mothers gravestone in the dead of night a few days back on familiar Oklahoma roads and I came to realize just like in the past, that she never would call me again

Told her I quit touring because I got accepted to get my masters in Paris next year, I told her I was back in Oklahoma, told her about all my best friends in New York and all the nights we howled with the moon, told her about the immeasurable laughter my band and me have shared these last five years, all the calluses on my finger tips, every tear shed, told her about making it on The Rolling Stone and most importantly told her about porch swinging with my beautiful sister.
I wrote the chorus for this song a month or two back and finished it when I realized I was blessed with all these things.

I figured it was about time I released it.

Thank you guys for listening to ‘This Worlds a Giant’ last night and thank you to all the people who love me; who have truly carried the weight with me.

Seems that all these Quiet Dreams have gotten much too heavy but I’m home now and I’ll hold you through the pain.

High Road is out today and I appreciate all of you"
