Summer is honestly our favorite time of the year solely for the fact that you can wear sandals almost every day. It’s also a great time because we can get away with wearing quirky handbags, denim cut-off shorts and pastel colors. If you’re the type of person who has been waiting patiently waiting for the sticky and cloudless feeling of summer, now is the time for you to treat yourself to a few accessories.

Brands of the moment that made the cut include Jacquemus, STAUD and Marine Serre.
