The calendar doesn’t say summer yet, but I’m declaring it official. While summer isn’t my favorite season, it’s climbing up the ranks pretty rapidly after a long and brutal winter in NYC. As I shift my wardrobe from layers and coats to easy-breezy pieces, I’ve noticed that getting dressed is so much simpler when the weather is warm (especially with all of the cute summer finds on the market). And I owe this effortlessness to all the accessories that carry each and every outfit I throw on in the summer. I’ve brought a basic T-shirt and denim shorts to new heights with nothing but a pair of shoes and a good handbag. And without a bold pop of color in the form of a bucket bag or a textured heel, my outfits would fall flat. I refuse to enter this long-awaited season without giving my looks the spice that they need, so I’m investing in some gems from Jimmy Choo. The summer collection is quite literally bringing the fun elements of my mood board to life. Beaded bags, embellished sandals, and logo beach bags are just some of the pieces that have caught my eye (the Varenne Quad bag is calling my name), and I know I’ll be reaching for them all season long. Are you ready for new pieces that require minimal effort but give you maximum style? Keep scrolling for my top picks.
