STYLE GURU STYLE: Everyday Essentials

Everybody has one accessory they can’t live without. For me this is my gold Gemini necklace. I feel naked without it and tend to base the rest of my accessories around this one piece of jewelry. In this look I paired this necklace with my gold shooting star earrings and a gold vintage clutch. You could find me wearing this outfit to a Sunday brunch or a casual Saturday hitting up our college town’s best boutiques. While the outfit pieces themselves are fairly basic I like my accessories to stand out.

I’ll be the first to admit I have a problem with hoarding accessories. I believe that you can never have enough accessories. This is why I like shopping at thrift stores, because I can buy tons of cool statement pieces without breaking the bank. My mom snagged this rad clutch at a vintage shop in my hometown for only a few dollars. This bag is so unique and each side is different.

Lately, I have been obsessed with all things stars. I have seen a lot of designers incorporate stars into their stellar designs. I bought these earrings at a flea market this summer in New York City for only $6; they remind me a lot of a pair of earrings from Roberto Cavalli.

My white Steve Madden platform sandals are a major staple in my closet. Not only do they look amazing with nearly everything I own, but I love the extra height they give me—especially with longer skirts like this one.

Even if you wear the same accessories everyday, try layering pieces together for a rad new look. Your everyday essential may not even be an accessory. For you, it may be a signature lipstick color or nail polish color. Find what works for you and make a statement!
