Haute Looks: Summer’s Top 5 Accessories

No matter how much the temperatures soar during the summertime heat, it’s never too hot for a fabulous accessory. Adding some accessory swag to your ensemble is the easiest way to take your look from drab to fab. Whether you need an eye-catching accessory for a beach vacation, rooftop drinks with your besties, or a hot new date, i’ve got you covered. Here are my five favorite summer accessories so that you can stay stylish and on-trend this season.

JEWELED SUNGLASSES
Big frames don’t stand a chance against a bedazzled and bejeweled set. With a pair of these, you’ll find yourself needing little else to complete a full look.
