In my opinion, you don’t need to invest in a whole new closet when you can simply freshen things up with new accessories this summer! Here’s a collection I have curated for any beach day, alfresco dinner, work or weekend and upcoming travels under $150.

Shashi

I love this modern collection because of its chic and playful design that celebrates the culture of exotic destinations.

Because I love traveling, this speaks so well to the tropical adventures I have coming up and the gold tones make it timeless.

Kenneth Jay Lane

Kenneth Jay Lane is one of my all-time favorite accessory brands right now! Each style makes a statement and can be worn every day. In a word, it’s a must-have. You can spot me wearing this during the day or night at some point like I did here! See their latest pieces available now + some of my favorites below.

Corita

This line is a perfect match for the summer. It captures the essence of one coast to the next while combining classic design and playful details; plus their touch of tassel goes so well with my summer looks! I’m wearing one of my newest favorites here.

Brinker & Eliza

Another warm-weather accessory need is this mother-daughter duo collection filled with inspiration from a small beach town in Connecticut. Its vintage shells and charming elements that are hand-made into fine jewelry dresses up any #ootd.

Cult Gaia

We all know the iconic bamboo ‘Ark’ clutch seen on IG, but did you know they have a line up of complimentary carefree accessories? Their innovative design and modern ease make it suitable for the day-to-day and not just on special occasions or photo opps. Whether bamboo or acrylic, it stays comfy and light! I’ve included some of my favorites below.

Elizabeth Cole

A feminine, vintage style coupled with bold design and colorful pieces are details I easily gravitate towards – Elizabeth Cole is brilliant at it. She has an affinity with mixing luxury materials like Swarovski crystals with pretty unique ones. Whether it’s her mermaid statement earrings or a watermelon cocktail ring, this collection is imaginative and lovely!
