The tropical colors of summer are long gone, and fall is here with its vibrant colors. Given that it snowed in October in parts of the U.S. this year (yes, we said October), fall will also be gone soon enough. That doesn’t mean that the dark days of winter limit style to dark colors. Even if your fall and winter wardrobe skew toward neturals and blacks, there can always be a splash of color in an accessory to keep that bright, summertime mood alive.

Laptop sleeves – You can tuck them away so that the bright colors only pop when you want them to. Take your tablet or laptop from your bag, and dreamy memories of the tropics are possible with patterns like Designer Sleeves butterflies, waves or paradise beach. Golla’s sleeves come in vibrant colors, like red with flowers.

Wallets – Maybe you are not daring enough to break away from the basic black purse, but anyone can pull off a bright colored wallet. Alicia Klein wallets offer juicy colors with fun names like citrus and pink cadillac.

Patterned luggage – You won’t forget what it is like to take that summer voyage when you choose a piece of luggage that is suitable for any cruise or summer vacation. One of our all time favorite collections is Britto Collection by Heys. These hard sided laptop bags and wheeled luggage pop from site in any terminal with fun patterns like butterfly, flowers, and landscape.
