Who says you need a campy store-bought costume to be festive this Halloween? I'm all for dressing up, but there's more to getting into the haunted holiday spirit than black lipstick and fishnets. If you're a jewelry gal (but then again, what girl isn't?), there are tons of trendy Halloween-themed charms, pendants, bangles, and even cocktail rings that are bound to appeal to your inner trick-or-treater. This Swarovski Ghost Charm is an adorably festive addition to any charm bracelet or keychain, and if you aren't a huge arachnophobe like I am, this spider ring from Betsey Johnson is appropriately gothic-chic. But just because they're perfect for the spooky season doesn't mean they're too kitschy to wear after the 31st -- this skull-embellished wrap bracelet by Alexander McQueen will still be stylish even after all your candy has been devoured! Browse through the slideshow for some of my favorite festive jewelry!

Peace signs aren't exactly associated with the most fashion-forward among us, but the icon that characterized way too much of my middle school wardrobe is coming back, and if this isn't music to your ears, you might have to take it up with Barneys Creative Director Simon Doonan, whose 'Hippie Holiday' campaign has renewed many a shopper's love for the iconic symbol and the culture it represents.
So what does this mean? Aside from dizzyingly psychedelic store windows, there are tons of peace sign-emblazoned items to be found, from wearable to edible and everything in between! And Barneys isn't the only retailer who knows it- Free People, DOGEARED, and Felix Rey have put their own spin on peace with tasteful handbags, jewelry, and decor.
