Lipstick is my favorite accessory! This season, try a dark red lip if you want to look sexy, glamorous, badass or all of the above. During the Fall 2012 shows, there were shades of deep burgundy and dark berry on the runways of Gucci, YSL, and Nina Ricci. And at Christian Siriano and Bottega Veneta, lips were even darker, edging into purple.

A little nervous to wear something other than a swipe of pink gloss? Think about it this way: Bold lips don't seem so scary when you consider those crazy flower pants you've been walking around in since the beginning of the summer....

As true beauty addicts, we are obsessed with everything that comes down the runway. But lately, we're not just focused on the clothes, hair, and makeup. This year, we're drooling over the biggest beauty trend of the year: nail art. And spring 2013's runways are toting some of the hottest nail looks we've seen this year. Designers like Peter Som, Tracy Reese, and Prabal Gurung have all embraced this trend, sending down models with flawless, gorgeous, and sometimes a little wacky manicures. But the real reason we love nail art is, that unlike designer clothes, it won't cost a fortune to recreate. With the right tools and a little patience, you can recreate these looks at home. See the best nail art inspiration from New York Fashion Week now.

Head scarves are quite possibly the most versatile accessory. They can be worn tied at the top, Rosie the Riveter style, or fully covering the head. The latest trend to hit the runway and red carpet is turban-like head scarves.

Models donned the look at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 show. Redken Creative Consultant Guido shares how to get the same style at home:

Step 1: Start with damp hair and spray Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam ($16, Redken.com) throughout. This will give it some texture and ensure that when it's pinned up, it will stay.

Step 2: Rough dry hair while brushing straight back with a boar-bristle brush.

Step 3: Wrap fabric headband around head tying at the nape of the neck.

Step 4: Gather hair into a loose ponytail and secure with an elastic four inches from the ends of the hair.

Step 5: Fold the loose ponytail up into a messy chignon and pin with open fasteners.

Step 6: Mist

I'm a sucker for rich, healthy, vibrant-looking hair for fall and I love the effect I get from color-boosting conditioners...when I can find one in the right color, that is.
