Fall Floral
A lovely way to update the simplest of outfits, this rosette belt looks delicate, but makes a strong style statement. Chiffon rosette belt ($38), from J. Crew, five metro locations, including 870 Grand Ave., St. Paul, 651-292-1470

Night Cap
One of my necessary indulgences is Marvis Mint toothpaste. The Jasmin flavor was created to offset the aroma of mint (which I always find too overpowering first thing in the morning), while still providing freshness, whitening, and fluoride protection. Bonus: The glam black-and-white toothbrush will further jazz up your bathroom. Toothbrush ($6.50) and Marvis Mint jasmin toothpaste ($11), both from Ampersand, Galleria, 952-920-2118

Wristful
A lot of attention is being paid to jewelry this season, but instead of going for the expected and blinging up the décolletage, add some scrollwork to your wrist with a silver cuff. Silver scroll cuff ($14.95), from Live, Laugh, Love, 5019 France Ave. S., Edina, 952-929-0701

Table Topper
Add understated glamour to any tabletop with an antique-style candelabra. The matte white patinaed iron is forged into clean S-curves with a delicate rose motif for a look that is more chic than shabby. Floral candelabra ($41.95), from General Store of Minnetonka, 14401 Hwy. 7, Minnetonka, 952-935-2215
