A Faux Leather Belt To Make Any Outfit Edgier

7

A Set Of Clips To Change Up Clothing & Accessories You Already Own

This five-pack of ring clips is Anzaldua’s little secret.

The set comes with five clips in various metal finishes to vibe with any look.

Personal stylist Sheena Paris rocks these cat eye sunglasses and always gets asked where they’re from. Shockingly the answer is Amazon — and they cost just $14. “I like a lighter colored pair of sunglasses to go with my summer whites,” she explains. And the vintage shape couldn't be any cooler.
