I Wanna "Fall"-back on you! *chickdowntown.com*

Hello, HighEnders! First let me say thankyouthankyouthankyou to everyone who submitted, tweeted and told friends about H.E.R.E.’s first ever giveaway. I absolutely loved reading each of your entries, and getting new ideas for “Fall”-back Autumn Accessories. Some of you will be rocking some beyond chic accessories this Fall.

San Diego Momma’s vintage necklace? Need it- sans the…special sauce :)

Hey Tricia! Nothing wrong with the geeky-chic look, especially when Coach is involved!

And Ms. Jenn Dresel– watch your RearEnd because I’m coming after that giraffe necklace, girlfriend!

So who is the winner, you ask? I was completely blown away by the witty wonder of Miss. Addie’s response. She was funny, she was detailed…and she just so happened to talk about one of my own favorite “Fall-“back accessories- belts! A few flips through my Facebook photos will prove that my waist is as covered as a 1920s girl’s ankles. I live for belts- wide, thin, double, single, leather, animal…do we really want me to keep going?

Read the winning response yourself:

Buckle down with a haute silhouette…“My fav Fall 09 accessory has got to be belts. Lately when I find myself getting dressed for work, play, bars, out etc, I can’t help but add one. Billowy tops beg for definition and boyfriend blazers are not tied together without them. Loop that skinny belt over the top of a pencil skirt/long cardi combo and you are instantly office chic. Sheath dresses benefit from the detail of them and trapeze dresses take on a whole new swing when buckled down. Add a sophisticated shape to that boho tunic-and-skinnies combo with a woven one. Any outfit for any occasion can benefit from belts. Bottom line- the possibilities are endless!

Good thing, too, because the Fall 09 belts are anything but drab. Sass up a blazer and riding boots with an extra long, triple wrapped patent skinny one. It will add shine, sophistication and class while making you look like you skipped dessert and hit the gym. A classic white tunic begs for a vibrant purple suede number; lay on the hardware for bonus points. Gunmetal studded ones add rock and thin metallics add glam. Braided ones add spunk while shedding lbs, and triple buckles double as a modern day corset. So, this fall, load up on Halloween candy, get seconds of turkey and pie… and cinch all your looks together with fabulous belts!”

Well, congrats, Addie. I hope you enjoy that gorgeous Tolani scarf courtesy of my Chick Downtown ladies all fall long. You did a fabolous job, and may even have some HighEndRearEnd cameos in your future!

And for the rest of my HighEnder Hauties, grazie again for participating and keep coming back H.E.R.E. for your daily dose of HighEnd news ;)
