This season, the details do the talking. Autumn’s accessories arrive with a confident, maximalist attitude, rich browns, deeper layers and eras colliding in the best way: 1970s-inspired scarves and beads meet 1990s oval sunglasses. And you can find all these styles locally, along 124 Street, down Whyte Avenue or at one of Edmonton’s iconic malls.
There’s something irresistible about a great stack of beads. The rule this season: more is more. Pile them on, mix colours, textures and sizes, and let the clash become the point.
Where to find them: Shakti Jewelry is designed in Edmonton by Sarah Bowker and assembled right in her shop downtown.

The stacking rule applies to your wrist too. Layer a bracelet alongside your watch and suddenly a simple timepiece is a considered, styled statement rather than an afterthought.
Where to find them: GemOro has been around for more than 30 years. It carries the most exclusive brands of jewelry and watches in the city.
Shop at 2590 West Edmonton Mall.
Carry your goodies around this fall in a top-handle bag, and make sure it has an attitude: bold, oversized proportions and snakeskin scaled up for maximum effect. Moody autumn hues, deep umbers, rich browns and burnished gold.
Where to find them: Blogger Armoire is home to one of Edmonton’s most extensive collections of designer resale handbags.
Shop in the Gallery District at 12328 104 Avenue and in Windermere at 1312 Windermere Way.
The 1990s are calling, and the era’s expressive oval frames are answering. This season, trade last year’s cool neutrals for something warmer: amber, caramel and burnt sienna sit alongside deep forest and olive green, a palette that feels equally autumnal and nostalgic.
Where to find them: The Observatory has been a Whyte Avenue fixture since 1999. It carries handmade, independent luxury eyewear collections.
Shop at 10608 82 Avenue.
The scarf is fashion’s great shapeshifter. The colourful accent never fails to finish a look, but this season it’s doing double duty. Tie it classically at your neck for an elegant face-framing polish, twist or braid it into your hair or even tie it to a handbag. However you wear your scarves, they are the easiest way to make an outfit look more finished and chic.
Where to find them: Swish Vintage specializes in women’s vintage clothing, accessories, shoes and handbags.
Shop at 10826 124 Street.
