From 2013 runway shows to mainstream brands, this nineties scrunchie trend has been lingering for a while. I was never one for hair accessories, but I'm feeling nostalgic and admittedly started a scrunchie collection.

If you fear looking like you're on your way to an aerobics class, there are ways to modernize this accessory trend. Straight hair in a low ponytail is best with a large scrunchie. Those of us who don short do's, try a low bun (secure with elastic first) and use a small scrunchie, so the little hair you have still shows. If you maintained your long hair throughout the bob/lob phenomenon, then you have more scrunchie options - half up, half down, the traditional high pony in a large scrunchie (so nineties) and a top-knot bun held with a printed scrunchie. This is a trend to try - fun, flirty and everyone loves a throwback!

The Fall season is nearing and I feel myself gravitating towards anything gray. Each season I subconsciously adopt a new hue and can't help but purchase everything in shades of my new found color. I do love a head-to-toe gray ensemble and encourage you to try it, but all gray every day will get boring! Don your gray accessories with neutral tones, such as cream and tan for a classy look. Rose, Salmon and peach shades paired with gray accessories will enhance your complexion and soften your look. Need a pop of color? Seafoam green will brighten your ensemble. I also love dark red paired with gray. A red merlot silk dress worn beneath a bathrobe-style gray sweater or crimson red over-the-knee boots with a long, heavy-knit poncho in smoke gray. Both rich in color, feminine and perfect Fall looks. Although there are perfect pairings, gray goes with everything and versatile accessories are must-haves.

These colorful emoji slippers make a statement in more ways than one (literally). Limited edition Del Toro M'Oticon slippers are cheeky and fun. Pictured here: 'Snap chat', 'Piece of Cake', 'Boose Cruise' and 'Queen of Hearts'. The tongue and cheek emoji combinations are cute and playful - 'Shrimp Cocktail' anyone?
