Lazy August days by the beach followed by back to school ads at night, remind us that these precious moments should be savored as Fall is right around the corner.  The Accessories Council and Lyss Stern, founder and president of Divalysscious Moms, joined forces with tips and fun finds for the start of the new school year. Here are some of their top picks:

1. David & Young Fashion Scarves – $24 – $36

Scarves have a way of dressing up even the most basic of outfits.  David & Young’s infinity scarves come in an assortment of fun patterns and colors making them equally appealing to both mother and daughter.

2. Carlos by Carlos Santana Carryall – $108

The perfect bag for the budding fashionista with an eye for style.  Chain and studs accent this faux leather bag which is large enough to fit every last book.

3. Stephanie Kantis Nobility Bracelet – $385

One of our new favorite jewelry designers, Stephanie Kantis turned her hobby of crafting jewelry, to a career.  Artisan pieces, like the Nobility Bracelet, pair semi-precious gems with 24-karat gold.
