ON TREND

A quick scroll through your Instagram and you’ll realise that there are a few accessories that you’re starting to see everywhere. You might have noticed the rise and return of the headband and that massive Gucci hair clip, or maybe you’ve got your eye on finally investing in that bum bag in your wishlist. It could be that you’ve seen an influx of white shoes ( I mean you cannot ignore the white heeled boots and the white cowboy boots taking over the street style scene). Either way, it’s no secret that there are certain accessories trends for this year and it’s time to get ahead! If I could only add three accessories to my wardrobe to be in fashion for spring summer 2019, this is what they would be.

Remember, I always think accessories are worth the investment. If you choose wisely, your piece can last you forever, no matter if it’s in trend or not (it all comes down to styling really!) I’ve curated this list for you so no matter what you pick, you’ll be making the right choice. The best part? You’ll love it for more than just one season.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Firstly, it’s no secret that I love a good headband moment. Go for velvet, pearls or whatever else, headbands have made a massive comeback, as have hair accessories in general. Hair clips, like embellished pearl ones or massive logo ones like the Gucci hair clip, are also having their moment in the sun and I imagine it will be a long time before they go. Don’t worry, you don’t have to run to your nearest Gucci store to look elegant. Instead, shop my curated collection below to get the look and still look as luxe as ever.

BUM BAGS

In 2018, we saw the rise of the bum bag (or belt bag, whatever you want to call it!) Everyone was after the Gucci belt bag, and this year Dior has released a saddle bag bum bag! Essentially, this style of bag is not going anywhere soon. What’s great about this style is that you can wear it in so many different ways (Keep an eye on my IGTV for more on this). I really adore this one from Montunas, and of course, I love the Dior one. I’ve also linked to some other fabulous versions below from Gucci, Prada and also some high street stores for more affordable options.

WHITE SHOES

A lot of people used to think that white shoes were too 80’s but guess what? The ’80s are back and so is the white shoe but with a modern update. Opt for a pair of white heeled boots like the ones I’ve been wearing, or you can go for a double trend and grab a pair of white cowboy boots. Either way, white boots, white sandals and white heels are going to dominate the 2019 fashion trends so be sure to grab a pair from my edit below.

The easiest way to make any outfit look more expensive is with the right accessories. One of the biggest fashion trends to make a comeback is the headband, which also happens to be one of the easiest ways to make your next winter outfit look more luxe. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank to get the look! I’ve been reaching for headbands since I was a little girl (I wore on every day!) and although my friends poked fun at me about them all through school, I knew that one day they would all be reaching for one too. (Yes, I was even called Blair Waldorf regularly because of them but whatever, I was always Team B anyways)

Now you’ll find the headband on your favourite street style stars at fashion week (who’s been keeping their eyes on Paris Couture Week?) and across the runway at the likes of Prada, Miu Miu and Dior. Whether you’re looking for a basic one to get you started, a beautiful pearl one for something special or a lush velvet one like this, there’s something for everyone and they are usually under £50 (Of course you can get ones that are over if your budget allows! The Prada one’s are amazing). Now that’s an accessory to stock up on! The one I’m wearing is from Fenwick’s on Bond Street; they have a fab selection if you are ever in the area!

The best part about headbands is that they are the simplest way to complete an outfit. I wore this look to London Fashion Week a few seasons ago but it looks totally different, and so much better, just by adding the headband! If you’re wondering how to wear a headband, I recommend pushing your hair back with it and then pushing it slightly forward to get that slight puff in your hair. I’ve linked to a whole selection of them below, ready for you to shop!
