>> They're all so pretty! I *really* want that merino lace one, it has such beautiful colours.<<
I agree, that's a favorite.
>> Oh yes. I tend to forget about things like accessories.<<
Shoes and any one other accessory make a good accent cluster. If you're the kind of person who likes to match shoes to belt or purse, it's worth having sets in more than one color.
>> There were some really nice sandals in those links, and some purses too, although remembering to look at the price is a good idea for me, because leathergoods have a tendency to cost more than I expect.<<
You can look for the same things at a cheap store if you want. However, leather is one of those places where you get what you pay for. A quality leather item is an investment that can last for years. Consider getting a cheap one to try out the color, but if you like it, either save up or use holidays to obtain something more durable.
>> And those jackets! There were a couple in there that were absolutely gorgeous, in both styles, though I'm not sure if a jacket designed for men would fit me right.<<
Probably not, but those are just examples. Women's leather jackets include some of the same color range, but it'll more likely be called burgundy than oxblood.

Gloves are another thing I didn't think of.
