WILMA staffers share their picks for fall must-haves from around town.

(from left to right)

GLITTER AND GOLD

 “This item caught my eye because I love the one-shoulder look as well as the combination of the shiny gold stripes with classic nude.” –Tara Slagle, WILMA intern (Poema metallic dress, $58, Aqua Fedora)

BURNISHED AND BOLD

“I love the visual impact of this dark red necklace with its crazed surface and muted gold accents. It’s a perfect piece for setting off fall colors and – best of all – its price is just as attractive.” –Jenny Callison, WILMA writer (SunRaye Fashion Jewelry, $19.95, Blue Moon Gift Shops)

ENDLESS SUMMER

“I hate saying good-bye to summer. This scarf and hand-dyed cardigan is perfect for extending summer dresses into fall and hanging on just a little while longer – would be great to add over a little black dress for going out or with jeans and equestrian boots on the weekend.” –Vicky Janowski, WILMA co-editor/writer (Tolani scarf, $92, Art of Cloth cardigan, $162, both from Ziabird)

NEUTRAL TERRITORY

“This season’s go-to shoe color is all-nude. These heels stand out for their perfectly balanced color (that can go with brown AND black) and stacked heel with snakeskin accent.” –Nina Bays COURNOYER, WILMA co-editor/art director (C. Label, $59, Aqua Fedora)

KNUCKLE UP

“Only a fortunate few can own an original Alexander McQueen knuckle-clasp clutch. For the rest of us, there are some pretty good repros that give a little glam rock accent to any outfit. I got this one online, but similar designs have been spotted at Francesca’s Collections at Mayfaire and Return Passage downtown for under $40.” –Nina Bays Cournoyer, WILMA co-editor/art director
