Summer Accessory Essentials

s

My husband, daughter and I spent last weekend vacationing at Playa Largo with a group of friends and WOW did it feel good! There is nothing better than spending time with family, friends and a beautiful resort to get you in a vacation state of mind. I find dressing for summer to be a breeze…it is the season where creating stylish and elegant looks is simple.  For summer, just a small selection of the right accessories can go a long way.  I believe that having these summer accessory essentials will keep you in a carefree state of mind…you can worry less about what you are wearing and more about the fun you are having! 

 

BEACH TOTE
Essential for carrying towels, water, reading materials and sunscreens (see post Coola Suncare for my favorite sunscreen)…this See by Chloe tote will fit all of your beach belongings.  You will also see me wearing my Hat Attack Luxe beach tote..it is large enough for both my daughter’s and my belongings. See by Chloe tote is on sale at www.bloomingdales.com. Hat Attack Luxe Tote is available at www.shopbop.com.

 NOVELTY CLUTCH
You do not always want to carry your beach bag so a fun clutch is a must! Perfect for packing in your suit case or beach tote, this Mar Y Sol Mia clutch is ideal for après-beach dinner and drinks. Available at www.shopbop.com.

CHIC HAT
Whether floppy, baseball or fedora…extra protection from the sun is important during summer months. This fedora is perfect for covering up messy beach hair and creating a stylish vibe. Available at www.shopbop.com.

PRINTED HEADBAND
This versatile Missoni headband can be worn to push back your hair from your face or for a fashion forward look, wear around your head. Either way, the black and white adds a nice pop of print to your ensemble. Available at www.intermixonline.com.

STATEMENT EARRINGS
Throw up your hair and get seriously stylish with these statement earrings. The Auden Mismatched Lemon Earrings are sure to be a conversation piece and the Lizzie Fortunato Duster Earrings create serious drama. Available at www.intermixonline.com.

YOUR FAVORITE SUNNIES
It is important to protect your eyes from the sun so sunnies are a must. I always like a pair of aviators or big black ones. Whatever you prefer, be sure to pack in your bag. Available at www.saks.com.

Incorporating these summer accessory essentials into your wardrobe is an easy way to update classic pieces like solid maxi dresses, rompers or swimsuits and give a bit of panache.  Just add
sandals (see post Summer Sandal Edit for ideas…) and you are ready to go!
