TREND: Foliage-inspired fashion
WHO'S WEARING IT: Nicole Richie, Joss Stone and Kerry Washington
HOW TO WEAR IT: Fall is the perfect time to branch out with an homage to the lovely leaf. Frond-shaped earrings are a really easy way to incorporate this perennial earthy trend into your everyday look. If you're shopping for a leaf-printed dress, we suggest you opt for one with seasonally appropriate long sleeves. The stars in sunny SoCal might be comfortable with bare arms in autumn, but not everyone can be so lucky. Brrr!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are designing a high-end jewelry collection with Asprey based on the snake.
Remember in 2006 when Samuel L. Jackson had enough with the (bleep!)ing snakes on the (bleep!)ing plane? Well, we're starting to feel same way about reptile jewelry.
Just about every celeb has tried out Cleopatra-chic accessorizing over the years: Nicole Richie, Dita von Teese and Sandra Bullock rocked reptile bracelets; Keira Knightley had a gold creature slither up her arm; and Madonna, Amanda Bynes and Mary-Kate Olsen displayed snakes on their necks. In fact, MK and her sis Ashley launched an entire line of Elizabeth & James snake jewelry.
So why is Brangelina just now hopping on the trend?
Well, when Angie was preggers with Shiloh, she was given a snake ring that she considered a protector of the Jolie-Pitt clan. Thus, the Asprey collection is appropriately named "The Protector."
OK, so it's not the most original concept, but in their typical philanthropic fashion, Hollywood's most beautiful couple is donating all net proceeds of the collection to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.
In other jewelry news, the Kardashians are launching a jewelry line, too! Keep reading for a sneak peek.

Enhance your inner goddess with Bali-inspired jewelry from Anna Beck Designs. The sterling silver and gold collection features lots of wonderfully exotic pieces, such as the sun medallion necklace and the fabulous fish-bone earrings (shown). Each handmade bauble would look striking with anything from a flowy white maxi to an elegant blouse.
The least expensive piece in the beautiful bunch is 75 bucks. Yikes! But mystyle users can enjoy 15 percent off until Dec. 31. Every little bit helps, right?

Is there such a thing as eco-friendly jewelry that isn't made out of wood or straw or something?
—Eileen, via the Ask Style inbox
Yes! In fact, it's even possible to get, you know, real jewelry—metal stuff that shines—and to feel good about the earth at the same time.

The minute I walked into Sanrio's Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary Party at Royal/T in I thought, wow, queen of kitty bling Kimora Lee Simmons would love this. Sure enough, Miss Fabulous herself was inside with daughters Ming and Aoki taking pictures wearing red Hello Kitty bows.
Fellow Hello Kitty lover Paris Hilton was happy to show of her kitty jewels, including these Tarina Tarantino earrings ($88)—but surprisingly, the heiress was one of the tamest attendees at the bash.
The 10,000-square-foot space in Culver City was full of artists' interpretations of Hello Kitty on the walls, ranging from traditional canvases to photographs of kitty-fied Lady Gaga. There were displays of Hello Kitty jewelry and fashion, including the bustier Katy Perry wore earlier this year. But my favorite part of the event was people-watching. The tutu-clad, wigged-out, bedazzled guests would make even Gwen Stefani's harajuku girls proud.
