The 2010 Spring/Summer Accessory Must-Haves from Kenneth Cole

Your personality and sense of style are reflected in your clothing and accessory choices. It is fun and fabulous to look at all the clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes and other miscellaneous items strutted down the runways and in magazines. It's important to remember, though, that these are only fashion guides. Making careful choices from these fashion options and using classic pieces will help you develop your own unique flare or style while flaunting some of the seasons "Must-Haves" or "Hot Items".

Being a traditional woman myself with a saucy, mysterious side, I have a few items I adore that are always in style whether my look for the day is casual or dressy. I've come to admire Kenneth Cole New York because of these accessories.

The love affair began with a pair of pumps, which felt like they were designed for my foot alone. The new spring and summer shoes to have are called Hot Mama. This leather sandal is sleek and sexy with shoestring ankle straps. Although the heel is 4.75" in height, the shoe fits like a glove and just makes you feel like the name of the shoe, a Hot Mama. This sandal can be worn with pants, dresses or shorts. I've discovered that they look terrific with a just-above-the-knee dress or skirt as it really accents your legs and makes them look long and lovely.

The second must have is a beautiful multiple link bracelet with bangles. This is a timeless classy piece of jewelry and it is very stylish. Being into holistic health and wellness, the bangles are what drew me to this bracelet because they are made of hematite stones. Hematite is a healing stone that grounds and protects you, as well as strengthen and regulates various body organs. Basically, it promotes true beauty inside and out. Of course, it can be purchased directly from Kenneth Cole New York. It's an excellent and tasteful jewelry piece that can be worn with practically anything in any wardrobe.

For a little added fun, check out the large hematite wrap ring. I know what you're thinking. When I first saw it, I thought it wasn't for me, but I had to have it. Now, I love it because it's just fun as well as being on the holistic tip too. Great ring to wear at a casual time out with some jeans and blouse or t-shirt. I wear it most of the time just because I think it's kind of funky cool.

The last and ultimate "must have" is a great purse. Don't get caught out with a handbag that looks like it's either "from" or "been in" World War I and II. Stay chic with this little number, and yes, it's Kenneth Cole too called the No Slouch Medium Hobo. This handbag is great with its removable shoulder strap. Also, it's terrific because I can actually find what I'm looking for in my purse. The inner pockets are nicely designed. The leather of the purse is very soft, high quality and easy to maintain.

These quality "must have" accessories are an asset to any wardrobe for spring and summer. They can be worn as classic or playful pieces and matched with any item in your closet.
