Leave it to Leaves

Leaves remind me of spring and of fall. In the spring, bright green leaves signal the change of season and warmer weather to come. Yet, in the fall, the colorful leaves signaling the crisp weather and winter to come.

Kenneth Jay Lane Leaf Bracelet, $47 from Blue Fly

The organic shape of leaves is beautiful; the curves, the veins and how they float and flutter to the ground. Nature inspires fashion constantly and how designers interpret nature varies from person to person.

Kenneth Jay Lane, one of my favorite jewelry designers, interprets nature literally with his leaf collection.

Kenneth Jay Lane Leaf Earrings, $37 from Blue Fly

Like Kenneth Jay Lane, other designers created literal leaf pieces. But, some have just taken the inspiration of the leaf and nature and created organically shaped jewelry. Either way you go, you cannot go wrong. If you can't decide, pick a variety of pieces to add to your collection. This jewelry may be on trend for this fall, but it has a timeless feel since the cycle of seasons is never ending.

Show off your leaf accessories with a solid top or dress. The leaves will get lost in a busy pattern, so simple is best.
