Literally, the merchandise in this girl’s apartment is enough to fill a block’s worth of boutiques and she’s kind enough to let her vagabond friends (i.e. me) peruse on occasion for the perfect piece of jewelry or latest pair of sunglasses (I’m the recent proud owner of an oversized black/white Chanel set). In an effort to amp up my own accessories quotient this summer, I enlisted her help to determine my Top 3 Summer Essentials list.
“Accessories are the key to adding a little flare to any outfit,” says Tera. “If you’re looking to make a statement with your sunnies, look no further than celeb favorite DITA. I love these blue swirl ‘Vesoul’ shades — as equally perfect for a day of city shopping as they are for a weekend jaunt to the beach.” DITA Vesoul, $350 at ditalegends.com.
“It’s time to step up your beach bag game,” Leuthauser advises me. “There’s a German mega brand called George Gina & Lucy that’s perfect for you — just a little pop of color, sturdy, yet stylish.” George Gina & Lucy Shopping Romance, $180. Visit george-gina-lucy.com for retailers.
“Heat and humidity are no excuse for not looking glam,” she tells me (in my defense, after I rode my bike to our meeting). “Eugenia Kim straw hats cover up a less-than-perfect hair day in the chicest way.” Eugenia Kim Honey 6, $275 at eugeniakim.com
It’s sound advice for someone whose usual summer ensemble consists of a t-shirt, jean shorts, and flip flops. For now, at least I’ve got my Chanels to keep me looking pretty.
Xoxo,
Julie
