11 Hermione-Inspired Accessories To Pay Tribute To The Brightest Witch Of Her Age

Hermione Granger is known for many incredible things — her mind-blowing talent, her bold bravery, her unmatched intelligence — but she definitely isn't known for her stylish wardrobe. In the books, readers don't see much about Hermione's clothes and various accessories at all, not even when she's out of her Hogwarts uniform. Of course, the clothes don't make the woman, and I'm more than happy to focus on Hermione's general bad-assery instead. But as a big fan of both fashion and Hermione alike, I can't help but want to infuse some items in my own closet with the Granger spirit. And if you feel the same way, I've got the ultimate shopping list for embracing your inner Hermione this fall.

With a little gold, a whole lot of burgundy and some super-stylish additions (both overtly Harry Potter-themed accessories and not) you can sprucce up everything from your office to your wardrobe with just a few some tweaks — and feel ready to take on the world — or at least the rest of 2018. Whether you're in the market for a new place to capture all your brilliant thoughts, or you just want to wear your fierceness on your sleeve, there's something on this list for you and your inner Hermione.

...And The Golden Notebook To Go With It

You've got a lot of important thoughts: to-do lists, reminders, creative projects, TBR lists and so much more, and you need a place to put them all, right? I would imagine that Hermione would not be able to turn down this golden notebook at the shops, and you shouldn't either.

A Lipstick That Will Set Daring Gryffindors Apart

This lipstick was made for real life Leos and so it only makes sense that Gryffindors would fall for it. The glittery gold color is as bold and daring as Hermione herself, but with a simple prettiness that says, "I'm here to slay everything, and you'd better keep up."
