FOR STYLISH
ACCESSORIES
Sidney Cardel’s, a home décor, fashion and gift store in Jacksonville
Beach, is full of fun options for styling yourself and your home. The
shop’s favorite trends this season include long layered jewelry, cowboy
boots with plenty of character and distinctive cross-body bags. To
shop in person, visit Sidney Cardel’s in 237 Fifth Ave. S. in Jacksonville
Beach, or visit them online at www.sidneycardels.com.
LAYERED JEWELRY
In past years, jewelry has all about been big statement pieces. That’s
great if you have a huge budget to work with and plenty of space to
store a different statement necklace for every day of the week. But
most of us have been looking forward to trends that allow for a bit
more flexibility.
If you love to make a statement with your jewelry, spread out your
accessory budget this year and choose a variety of necklaces with
different lengths and textures. Whether you wear one at a time, throw
on a few or pile on your whole collection, you’ll have a new look every
day.
COWBOY BOOTS
Believe it or not, cowboy boots are one of the most flexible

investments you can make for you fall wardrobe. In Northeast
Florida, a good pair of boots is just as essential as a comfortable
pair of sneakers—and far more fashionable. Sidney Cardel’s stocks a
huge variety of distinctive designs that’ll speak to you whether you’re
looking for something bohemian-chic or you want to stand out as a
Dia de Muertos enthusiast.
Wear your boots around the house (in the air conditioning!) while
it’s still hot outside and you’ll have a perfectly supple and broken in
pair to wear for years to come.
CROSS-BODY BAGS
The days of lugging around big handbags to make a statement are
over. Cross-body bags continue to make a comeback, and are more
comfortable than the heavy, cumbersome bags of the past. Will you
have to downsize the amount of stuff you tote from here to there?
Certainly—but that was probably overdue anyway!
Whether you go for a subtle and simple bag or you choose one
that’s all-out eye-catching, these bags are more comfortable to carry
and can still pack a style punch. Western-inspired designs with a
handmade look are the best bet this season.
