If I’m being completely honest with you, I’d have to say I like shopping for accessories (including makeup) way more than clothes – maybe it’s because with accessories I never worry about sizes – I’m happiest shopping for a new makeup palette, purses or earrings. I wanted to share a few of my favorite summer accessories – especially since there are so many epic sales happening right now, well know the ones!
Mirrored sunglasses are my favorite, especially if they come in a fun color like pink!
If you would have asked me last year if I thought I’d wear a backpack again, the answer would have been no, but I’m coming around to liking the idea for travel and being hands free – I don’t think I’ll be comfortable enough to sport one in my everyday life, but certain occasions call for backpacks! The ones with top handles are a great compromise because you can hold them like a purse! On that same note, I have also been reaching for a lot less on the weekends – phone, lip gloss, a few cards and that’s it, but I don’t have anything that fit’s that in between – these wristlets would be great for those quick trips to Target!
My pom pom bag charm adorned my purse in the fall and winter & I feel like my summer bags are missing this little accessory.
Remember when I mentioned my go-to outfit, well that look is not complete without a thin belt! Put a bow on itand I’m even happier.
I talked about my love for a good manicure on many occasions and my recent discovery is the Essie Gel Couture line – forget sitting under the light to have the polish set. It’s not an instant dry, but it does live up to the no chip for at least one week and on my nails that is a miracle. I got the pretty rock the runway color, but I want a lighter pink for most other occasions. It’s pricier than other polishes, but if you buy the polish and then get a manicure, you’ll be chip free for weeks!
While I may have said this post was all about accessories – I had to sneak in these super cute graphic items from Private Party – I mean the “barre so hard” and “all i need is pizza and bae” shirts are too funny!
Love a fun pair of tassel earrings as much as the next girl and these aren’t heavy either!
A not too high, not too uncomfortable pair of wedge espadrille sandals that pairs with skinny jeans or dresses never disappoints. I have the black and cream pairs of the damita wedges and they are my go-to’s!
What’s your favorite summer accessory?
This post was done in collaboration with ShopBop.
I have that exact Pom Pom charm on a straw tote and it's adorable and I have those espadrilles in black. I think I need another color as they are the perfect summer wedge. And bright pink nail polish….A MUST!!! So fun!
I didn't know Essie had a gel couture line – I need to look into that!
I have all the heart eyes for that bow belt! Such a fun detail!
The bow belt is so adorable. I have one that I try to style with different dresses and those MK wedges have been on my wishlist for so long but still yet to pull the trigger. Mirrored sunglasses are so fun. I have a purple pair and get lot =s of compliments from people…the pink ones are so pretty!
I've been wanting to try the new Essie gel line and was even more curious after you mentioned having your nails done on Snap! Good to know it lasted the week, that would be a miracle for me too! I will have to give it a try, although, I do love the fast drying aspect of Defy & Inspire and CND!

Accessories are always so fun because they always fit 🙂 And they can really make an outfit! I love all of your picks!!! Those shoes have been on my wishlist forever. Unfortunately my arch in my foot is too high to zip them properly. Boo!!! I am obsessed with Kate Spade stuff and I have way too many nail polishes to count. WAY TOO MANY!
Those tassels are super cute! And now I really want to try those new polishes
Really want to try the Essie polish! I’m always up for trying new ones that won’t chip easily!
That pom pom charm is so cute! I just bought a tassel one myself! And LOVING those earrings, so perfect! I need to try the new Essie polish. I just tried Julep and was pleasantly surprised. <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Those earrings are soooooo beautiful! I want to check out the Essie polish, I've heard great things about it!
I LOVE all of these accessories! That lavender backpack is so adorable–it would be perfect for my upcoming trip! Great picks girly!

I'm all about accessories too! I love how they dress up any outfit, and can be worn daily whereas clothing pieces are worn once in a while. Those MK wedges are one of my favorite purchases this year, and you can't go wrong with a KS bow bangle <3

I have to try the new Essie polish asap! I love a thin belt, it's so chic and never goes out of style! I am with you on the accessory shopping! It's the easiest way to change up your look without anything too drastic!
The tassel earrings are perfection ! Happy Wednesday Biana !
So I pretty much love everything you have here. That is one of the cutest backpacks I've seen. You can never have enough accessories!

Those wedges are amazing! You can never have too many pairs of wedges. Especially if you can comfortably walk in them! I also love that nail polish it's the perfect pink for summer!

I totally agree that buying accessories can be way more fun than shopping for clothes, mostly because you never have to worry about fat days haha! And I'll definitely have to check out the Essie gel color line. Essie is definitely my favorite at-home nail polish brand!

I haven't tried the Essie Gel Couture line yet but it's on my list! I would love to go chip free for a week without having to go and get my nails done at a salon.
Oh I love the wedges that you have! Which color do you think goes with more outfits??
Great accessories, absolutely loving these picks!

So many goodies! I'm loving the espadrilles and I still need to pick up a bottle of the Essie Couture line – everyone is saying so many great things!
I'm coming around too backpacks too! I think they'd be easier to use as a diaper bag, especially when we're shopping or going to food/wine festivals.
I don't think I can get behind the backpack trend… It's practical, but I would totally overfill it!! xo!
You've got some really cute accessories here, girlie, all perfect for summer! I love that Kate Spade bow belt, she seriously makes the cutest accessories! I'm also loving your tassel earrings, too! Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you're having the most amazing week so far!

Yes girl! Totally agree, makeup and accessories are my absolute fave, I for sure have a weakness! I can't decide which one is my favorite, but I'm loving those earrings, pom pom charm, sunnies and nail polish!!

Polarized sunglasses are my only requirement, but a good hat is a bonus!
I really want a pair of tassel earrings and those are so cute & bonus on them not being too heavy! Love the fun graphic tees too!
I've been wanting to try that new Essie gel polish! Glad to hear it lives up to the hype!

I want a pair of mirrored glasses bad, but not sure I'd be able to pull them off haha nice list! Xo
Totally with you on shopping for accessories more than clothes! And I've been on the hunt for a cute backpack! Carrying a handbag to work on my 1.5 mile walk every morning is obnoxious but I still need to look cute! Love your pick 🙂

TJMaxx has had those cute pom pom key chains in the checkout line, and I don't know why I don't just get one – they are so cute!
Love these! Especially the barre shirt and backpack 🙂

Shopping for makeup and nail polish is never not fun! (; Idc how many pinks I have, this pink is new and I need it, and men will never understand. hahaha I have been buying lots of sunnies and shoes this summer. Shoes are basically an accessory anymore. (;
Well yep. I need all of it! Great choices.

Those pink shades!! Yessss girl!
I'm 100% with you about shopping more for accessories and makeup instead of clothes because I don't have to worry about a size. No matter what size I am, Kendra Scott always fits! Those pink sunglasses are so cute! I got a pair of blue mirrored ray bans, but maybe I can convince Chris that I need a pair of pink ones too!
Yep, me too! Love it. Love your picks!
Those earrings are perfection! I just wish they were a tad cheaper! Also love that pink backpack bag and those mirrored glasses! You always have a knack for rounding up the cutest stuff!
I want to buy all of them, but i don't have much money, and i need to hard work

Oooh glad to hear a good review about the new gel Essie! I had seen then but hadn't heard much yet. Also, those tassel earrings are so cute – I love that they aren't heavy. That's so hard to find!

Pink-mirrored sunglasses sound like my kinda jam! 🙂
Hope you have a good weekend ahead, babe!

I need some mirrored sunnies. I need some new sunnies period. And I will definitely check out that Essie line!
I absolutely LOVE the earrings (you have gorgeous long hair and I bet they look great!) but they would look good on those with short hair (like me!) too! LOVE the pink sunglasses, I am super into mirrored sunglasses too…..I have so many pairs of sunglasses and readers, I am always looking for unusual ones. catchatwithcarenandcody
Accessories make me sooooo happy!
Can I have one of everything?? I think the earrings might be my favorite!
I'm dying to try the Essie gel line, but haven't been able to find it anywhere around here!! Loving those sunnies, too!
those wedges are gorgeous! they aren't too badly priced either… i am with you on buying accessories and such, i never worry about them like i do clothes with sizing. i'll have to check out essie's gel line, essie's normal line and i don't get along very well but maybe the gel stuff will stay longer.
I don't know what is my fav accessory. Could be glasses. I change according to my mood and style. Can you say that make up is an accessory?
I'm totally with you! I love shopping for shoes and jewels WAY more than clothes! Love those wedges, so cute!!!
I almost bought those same wedges but chose a different pair instead. I still want those in black. And I too love and own a few pom pom charms. I love both the bags in this post, the bow belt and those gorgeous tassel earrings. Great roundup of accessories, Biana!
Those tassel earrings and that Barre shirt are so fun! Great wrap up, friend! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
