One word, 'Gaga', Lady Gaga that is. Kerin Rose is the go-to eyewear designer among music's biggest names like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Adam Lambert to name a few. A-Morir was founded in 2008 and in a short time gained an A-list following. Her edgy and unconventional designs redefined a must-have accessory.
The sunglasses don't come cheap (a pair averaging at $300), but you are paying for quality. Each design lives up to A-Morir's point of view... "by definition accessories are supplemental; there is no need to be practical. so go big. go hard, and go far."
Another big trend this summer is tribal inspired pieces. From prints and patterns on apparel to unique indigenous materials on accessories. The best way to incorporate this trend to any look are subtle touches. Tribal inspired jewelry adds that global chic to any ensemble. Take it up a notch with eco-friendly pieces. One of my favorite designs are from DLC Brooklyn.
Designed by Susan Domelsmith, you can find understated yet elegant designs made with reworked vintage jewelry mixed with other materials like bamboo and leather. I particularly love the uniqueness of each piece from their collection. This Vintage Painted Necklace can be worn with both casual and formal looks. And definitely would look sexy paired with swimwear.
![]() | Bohemian inspired fashion is quite the trend this summer. Get your luxurious boho chic look on with this studded leather fringed bag by Derek Lam. This bag is from Derek Lam's latest accessory collection. I love the shape, unique strap and distressed look of the leather. The design is very versatile. Whether you're wearing a dress or denim jeans, this bag will finish off your look, oh so fabulously. Derek Lam 'Isla' Fringed Bag $1,190 Saks |
Christian Louboutin may not have as big of a following in the handbags department yet but slowly but surely his masterful creations are gaining ground. When we here Louboutin, luxury comes to mind. His handbags compliments his footwear designs. This Stud Talita Tote is chic, stylish and edgy. I love the metal studs and rings detail. Made with suede and 100% calf leather. This is an investment that you will have in your fashion repertoire for a long time.
Whether you're experimenting or trying out new things in taking your personal style up a notch, it can be challenging and intimidating. This is what exactly one of my friend is experiencing. She is going through her 'I wear only black' phase. But lately she told me that she's ready to add some color in her wardrobe. Hallelujah! But she is not about to wear a multicolored floral dress.
I advised her to take it one step at a time and start her transformation in the accessories department. So, I had the lovely task of finding her stylish, trendy yet affordable flair. I showed her these Alex and Ani Cocktail Rings which all fit the bill. And earth-friendly too!
The funny thing was when she saw them, she said 'These are fabulous they go with everything I have'. And I replied, 'Sweetie, almost everything go with black'. Then she called me a b***ch and I called her a bigger b***ch, we hugged went to Starbucks and had a jolly gay ole' time.
MATT & NAT is one of the first eco-friendly line of accessories that became The Smart Stylist's must-haves. They offer modern, eco-stylish handbags that would fit in every eco-fashionista's wardrobe. This 'Hendrix' handbag is edgy yet chic. Made with glazed, pebbled PVC and features zipper details and antiqued brass hardware. Available in 4 colors and priced reasonably.

Add some umph to your spring ensemble with bright colored accessories. Accessories are the exclamation point of every look. And there's a lot of accessories to go around, in various price points, for day and evening looks . For example, Nine West has a handbag collection called 'Neves' (clutch shown above) that reminds me of the collection Valentino has. No need to spend hundreds of dollars to get that same effect. But if you have the Benjamins to spare, I say splurge. May I suggest Kate Spade 'Tarrytown' Tote (shown above). it's like carrying a sunshine with you everywhere you go.
As always moderation is key, don't mash up to much trends in every look. Specially with accessories. Ideally one bright colored accessory will do. No need to look like a color wheel. To busy ain't pretty.
I'm loving this 'Whitney' Sunglasses by Tom Ford. The oversized frame and gradient colors are stylish and chic. And fits most face shapes. A pair is a great investment that you can wear year round. Don't be surprise if compliments starts pouring at when you were them... guaranteed!
