If you’ve ever set your eyeballs on my blog or any of my social channels, you’ll know I’m a big lover of accessories. I believe that accessories are the key to any outfit. It makes or breaks it. And this summer season, I am crushing hard on accessory trends (although, realistically, when am I not).
Summer accessories are typically the most fun (I find). They’re always light and airy, pretty and bright, and incorporate warm neutrals and organic elements.
If you have visited here before or are part of the Inspired Family on Youtube or Instagram, you’ll also know that my go-to each season for accessories is Le Chateau. They are by far my biggest and best fashion secret. They always have the most on-trend accessories that (best of all) don’t break that bank.
So naturally, like every season, I did my pilgrimage to my accessory Holy Land and picked up some new favourites that I brought along with me on my trip to Portugal.
Tip: Accessories make the best travel hack. They take up a lot less room in your luggage and can instantly change an outfit. Pack less clothes and more accessories.
Between woven bags, metallic accents, and ALL of the statement earrings, here are some of my favourite Le Chateau accessories I’ve picked up so far and how I incorporated them into some of my outfits in Portugal:

If you’re looking for trends, here are the ones I’d keep an eye out for when you’re shopping for summer accessories:
1. Woven Bags
This will transform any basic outfit into a trendy one. Not to mention, I love a good woven bag for a wedding outfit or to compliment a boho style dress
2. Fringe Earrings
Nothing like a good ol’ fringe to elevate a look. Fringe is instantly one of those fashion elements that instantly make your outfit look so much more stylish
3. Woven Belt
A good belt goes a long way and is one of those key accessories that truly transforms any outfit. A loose fitting dress suddenly turns into a fitted one and a boring outfit suddenly looks so much more interesting
4. Wood Accents
Whether on your earrings, your belt, or your bag, I love how wood adds a natural and organic element to any outfit
