If you’re wanting to get your hands on some of the season’s hottest accessories, then snag them before they’re gone because things are selling out like crazy lately! No matter your budget, I’m sharing all the sandals, handbags, sunglasses, and hats that I’m obsessing over right now. So, whether you’re looking to save or splurge, check out all my faves down below:

Splurge: Bottega Lido Sandal ($1,270) – To say Bottega has been inspiring the latest trends lately is an understatement, and these heels are no exception. If you’re wanting to splurge on a designer pair of shoes, then these are so chic – definitely a pair you’ll have in your closet for years to come.

Save: Vince Camuto Brelanie Sandal ($99) – If you’re looking for a Bottega look for less, then look no further! These Vince Camuto sandals look almost identical and are SO much more affordable! Plus they come in tons of colors.

Splurge: Lack of Color Palma Woven Boater Hat ($99) – I absolutely love this boater hat for summer. I think it’s a timeless piece that can be worn with so many different outfits: a dress, shorts, linen pants… the list goes on!

Save: Abercrombie Straw Panama Hat ($39) – This hat gives the same summer vibe as the Lack of Color hat, but for a fraction of the price. So, if you want to try out this trend without investing a ton, then I’d opt for this one!

Splurge: Gucci Cat-Eye Sunglasses ($360) – I think these lighter shade of sunglasses are the perfect summer accessory. So chic and elegant… I picture wearing these with a white summer dress or matching linen set.

Save: Le Specs Air Heart Sunglasses ($69) – If you still want a quality pair of sunglasses but don’t want to splurge on a designer pair, then these Le Specs are super similar and a great pair for summer.

Splurge: Loewe Paula’s Ibiza Woven Tote ($650) – If anything screams summer to me, it’s a straw tote! This piece is absolutely beautiful – it can be worn to the farmer’s market, to the beach or park, or even on a summer getaway to the South of France… a girl can dream can’t she?

Save: Mango Basket Bag ($60) – I love this basket bag because it’s a little smaller than the Loewe one, and much more budget-friendly. Besides, can you really have too many straw bags come summer?

Splurge: Bottega Chain-Embellished Sandals ($930) – Now, these heels are stunning!! They’re super sexy and would be great for a night out or to a special occasion. I’d definitely splurge on a pair of heels like these because of the intricate details.

Save: Willmena Sandals ($70) – These sandals are perfect for everyday wear – they still look designer-inspired without the hefty price tag! The low heel makes them an easy pair of sandals to throw on with any outfit.

Splurge: Bottega Padded Cassette Bag ($3,200) – This Bottega bag is certainly this season’s ‘it’ bag! I’ve been seeing it a lot lately, and it comes in almost every color. It’s got that ‘it’ factor that’s easily recognizable and definitely makes a statement.

Save: Amazon Padded Cassette Bag ($36) – I have to admit, this Bottega dupe is pretty good! It looks almost identical… I’d bet most people could hardly tell the difference!

Splurge: Celine Square-Frame Sunglasses ($400) – If you could only splurge on one pair of sunglasses, I’d go with these Celine sunglasses – such a classic frame that will honestly never go out of style… a great investment!

Save: Express Oversized Square Sunglasses ($20) – For only $20, you really can’t beat this pair of sunglasses. The oversized shape is elegant and timeless.

Splurge: Khaite Ruched Leather Slides ($690) – If you’re like me and love a good pair of flat sandals, then these Khalite slides are worth the splurge. I love how minimal, yet chic they are.

Save: Forever 21 Faux Leather Ruched Sandals ($9) – What a steal… $9 for a designer-inspired pair of sandals?! Don’t walk, RUN – they’ll certainly sell out!
