The Essentials: Take 7

{the players}

I'm a firm believer in having the staples. You know, Balenciaga bag, Louis Vuitton by Sofia Coppola clutch, Hermes bracelet & Cartier watch. No big thang.

In all seriousness, there's something to be said for owning a few key {semi pricey} accessories to dress up any plain old outfit. Take that "look" to a "LOOK." Ya know? I found these collages on this blog & went wild for the chic, understated style. I find myself wearing tight black pants with boots & an oversized sweater almost daily, so it's nice to see some variation.

What's in your seven?

The black+gold is so classic but I've always wanted one of the neon colored versions-- Rachel Bilson has one in lime green that looks so amazing, and I've seen purple and orange versions too.
