Spring Accessories: What You'll Need this Season

A Statement Necklace:
Statement necklaces are still the trend, but they are different than the ones of recent years. Gone are the lace, the chains, the feathers, and all the other bells and whistles. Today's statement necklace is simpler, bolder, almost stark.

$195.


Duchess of Soho Drama Bib

$26.

Classic Ray-Ban Sunglasses:
Either the Clubmaster or the Wayfarer.

Ray-Ban RB3016 Clubmaster
$145.
Medieval Jewelry:
Textured metal and colorful gemstones are the mark of a medieval piece. Layer on the bracelets now and the necklaces in the fall.
Cara Accessories Colored Stone Bangle
$28 each.
A Square Scarf:
Either tied jauntily around your neck or on the straps of your handbag, the square scarf adds color and style to any outfit without the added heat of a rectangular scarf wrapped many times around your neck.

$68.
