If you're in the mood to toss practicality to the side and layer up all things pretty, you've come to the right spot. Spring is in the air, and it finally feels like we can put a proper outfit together and pile on all of our favourite things. Which is why I'm in the mood for some new accessories. Ones that I don't necessarily need, per se, but serve the purpose of reviving my love of getting dressed and sparks some joy into my spring wardrobe.
Do I need a straw beret, a pearl headband or a satin bag right now? Practically speaking, maybe not, but I do love them and that's enough for me. These accessories don't need a reason for being in one's wardrobe other than the fact that they are just plain adorable. Keep scrolling for the new season bags, jewellery and other accessories that are too pretty to miss.
Beaded, flower-shaped and made of pearls. This speaks for itself.
By Far
Rachel Leather-Trimmed Silk Shoulder Bag
Literally sunshine in a (satin) bag.
Gucci
Jackie Hobo Floral-Print Shoulder Bag
A timeless and iconic shape in a gorgeous print with pink trim. I'm not crying—you're crying.
Mango
Laser-Cut Design Bag
This feels like a formal yet beautiful day version of the basket bag. I love the vintage vibe it's giving me too.
Wandler
Corsa Mini Crocodile-Effect Leather Tote
Wandler bags are a fashion-week favourite, and this just shows you why.
Rejina Pyo
Black and White Nane Polka-Dot Satin Clutch
A polka-dot satin bag with a bow. Enough said.
The Vampire's Wife
Ruffle-Trimmed Floral-Print Sateen Clutch
If the floral print, the trim and the heart shape weren't enough, these bags come with matching dresses too.
Charles & Keith
Translucent Tote Bag
Toting around a huge bag can be this cute.
Hair Accessories
Simone Rocha
Faux-Pearl and Crystal Hair Slide
Simone Rocha's pearl slides launched one of the biggest hair trends of 2018, and it still reigns at the top this year. I love the addition of the red beads.
Mango
Polka-Dot Hairband
This with an oversized white button-down shirt in the summer (with a glass of sangria) would be perfect.
Valet Studio
Set of 2 Kelly Clips
Tortoiseshell is pretty.
Prada
Pink Large Silk Satin Headband
When we saw these come down the S/S 19 runway, we knew Prada had just brought back the OTT headband. Pink satin? Yes, please.
Mango
3 Hair Tie Set
You don't have to wear them all at once, but that could be fun too.
Simone Rocha
Daisy Faux-Pearl and Bead-Embellished Headband
Okay, so I have Simone Rocha addiction. She's started making these headbands, and I thought you'd want to know.
Seoul Import
Rose Mint Hair Clip
Hair accessories are having a moment, and it's clips like these that are to blame.
Slip
Silk Ribbon and Hair Tie Set
There's nothing that will make you sing "I Feel Pretty" like a big, pink satin bow.
Jewellery
Alighieri
La Jetée Gold-Plated Pearl Pendant Earrings
These pearl earrings are basically a party on your ears. With every step, they dance!
Young Frankk
Alex Beaded Collar
With the costumes from the movie The Favourite as my style inspiration, I intend on feeling a bit more like a queen this year. I think this necklace will help me achieve that.
Crystal jewellery is on the rise this year. With these on, your face is Versailles and these are the chandeliers.
Daphine
Oli Ring
Proof that something simple and timeless can be pretty—just be ready for an inundation of compliments.
Sophie Buhai
Pearl Anklet
Anklets regained popularity last year and will likely not be going anywhere. This pearl version is the perfect 2019 update.
Hernán Herdez
Mar de Amor Necklace
Layered or on its own, this is an unabashedly wonderful love necklace. Don't wait around—buy it for yourself!
Roxanne Assoulin
Hip-Hop But Not Mismatched Crystal Earrings
Imperfectly perfect. I have a pair and I feel like I'm in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette every time I put them on.
Weekday
Etta Hoop Earrings
Small but mighty beautiful. Weekday is my not-so-secret secret spot for high-street hoops.
Hats, Sunnies and Scarves
Zara
Pleated Polka-Dot Neckerchief
This is not just a polka-dot neckerchief—it's pleated!
Basique
Pale Pink-Light Pink
It doesn't get better than seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses. This new brand is going to be a favourite.
& Other Stories
Woven Straw Beret
Prince would so write a song about this beret too.
Monki
Oval Shape Sunglasses in Brown Tortoise
Once again: Tortoiseshell is pretty.
Marks and Spencer
Floral-Print Scarf
In the making of this article, I've realised we all need more pleated neck ties in our lives. Especially one that makes you feel like Jackie O in the Florida Keys.
& Other Stories
Rectangular Frame Sunglasses
Something about this peachy champagne colour is so tempting. Maybe with a coral lip?
Zara
Women in Art Collection Printed Scarf
At this point, this will be a season of scarves. Think Gwyneth Paltrow in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Rejina Pyo
Daisy Denim Hat
I can't wait to pair this with a white one-piece in the South of France (glass of rosé in hand).
