I blame my accessories splurges at Barneys and Nordstrom on Marie Claire Accessories Director, Kyle Anderson, responsible for guiding readers in their quest for that ‘It’ item to zhuzh! up any outfit or the unexpectedly chic accessory to complete that little black dress. We tapped him to give us the five accessories your closet can’t live without. WARNING: You’re going to want everything on his list, including the ultra cool Jimmy Choo clutches I have put in my shopping cart on Net-a-Porter and a Balmain belt I would give my walk down Wall Street naked for.
Follow Kyle’s daily adventures via Twitter at @KyleEditor, and tweet him with fashion dilemmas or next time one of his recommendations on Marie Claire and MarieClaire.com end up in your closet.
Givenchy Sharks Tooth Pendant
I actually bought this as it first arrived at the Paris boutiques last week when we were there to see the collections. I’d have to say it is THE statement piece from the SS runways that was featured in a major way by every major publication and we also shot this for a full page in our march issue. I think it’s cool and edgy and goes with everything.
Alexander Wang Black Leather ‘Golf’ Bag.
We saw a few golf bags go down the runways for SS most noticeably the bejeweled style at the Prada men’s runway and this black leather edgier version at Alexander Wang. The season had a lot of influences from sports themes on the runway and this bag was a fresh and interesting new idea and shape that we were excited to feature.
Jimmy Choo Surf Scene Clutches.
I was really excited to see these at the Jimmy Choo Milan accessories presentation and when they arrived at our office to photograph them everyone was really excited about their design. I’ve never actually surfed but I’m very into surf wear neoprene, summer accessories in general.
Repossi Cage Rings
I have been obsessed with these cage rings that cover your entire finger from Repossi ever since I first saw them. With a cool and edgy design they go from day to evening perfectly- for someone who isn’t the sparkly jewel kind of girl. They are also coming out with amazing ear cuffs with a similar design
Balmain Western Glam Belt
I love the oversized statement belt inspired by the west. I could picture this over a sexy black dress for evening or your favorite pair of black jeans to run around town for day. It adds a sexy cool touch to almost anything.
