Like I said earlier, throwback hair accessories are having a major moment. But it's all the hair clips with pretty pearl adornments that I'd like to give a shoutout to here. Between all the trending pearl jewelry and said hair accessories, I'd say we've hit a peak with the pearl trend. Sure, pearl hair clips run a little sweet, but that's exactly what makes them so fun to wear.

The '90s are the decade that just keeps giving. It seems every season, designers cherry-pick a new '90s style to bring back again, and this time it's the leather trench coat. Everyone's been well-acquainted with leather biker jackets, but it's time to cozy up to the idea of a leather-coated trench. Think Neo from The Matrix or Carrie Bradshaw in the early episodes of Sex and the City.

Have you ever seen a satin garment that resembles the pattern of wood grain when the light hits it? As I recently learned, this lovely wavy pattern is referred to as "moiré" satin, and labels like The Attico and Ellery are reintroducing the fabric on everything from voluminous dresses to ankle boots.

Chain belts had their moment in 2018 as did crystal and rhinestone belts. Fashion girls love a good statement belt because it's the easiest way to add style to jeans and a tee (or really anything else). The next wave of statement belts: animal print. While zebra and leopard were to be found on everything from shoes to coats last fall, the trend has evolved into these simple belts that pack a big punch.

Remember all that colorful acrylic jewelry? Meet its cousin, the acrylic bag. All the candy-colored shades like mint green and lilac and swirled patterns have found their way onto bags and the offerings are nothing but fun. Come time for summer vacations, these will be splattered all over your Instagram feed.
