Fashionista411 - Top 5 Must-Have Accessories of Summer
Summer is not over yet!
The fall is upon us, but as my friends in San Diego are fond of saving “Summers not over till there is snow in Big Bear.” So as your Fashionista411 Columnist tries to keep the warm and fun of summer alive, here is his “Top 5 Must-Have Accessories of Summer.”
Shiny and Sparkly, Oh My
TOMS Shoes
As a lover of comfortable, yet stylist shoes TOMS ranks pretty high among my favorite brands. When going for sneakers, I recommend getting ones with a splash of fashion that TOMS have in abundance. Plus for every shoe they sell they give a pair away to children around the world who don’t have shoes. Major Good Karma!

Levi Jeans
Having grown up wearing Levi’s there is not other jean for me. Try their classic boot cut in the low rider style, is a personal favorite.
Shopping Tip - Target sells Levi’s for about $25.00, where other outlets sell the same styles for +$60.00
Vintage Costume Jewelry
Since the 80’s have returned to the fashion world, Costume Jewelry is a must-have for any Fashionista worth her Prada heels. Anything that invokes Lucite and Neon is a go.
Shopping Tip - Try exploring your local thrift store for some amazing deals ranging from $15-$5. Who knows those glittering pearls might just be real!
Tom Ford Sunglasses
Ok, as a fashionable gay I have a huge crush on Tom Ford. Admitting that I still love his sunglasses for their timeless flare, try his ‘Scarlett’ and see if you don’t feel like Southern Bell after wearing them awhile.

Fragile’ by Jean Paul Gaultier
Perfumes are meant to bring love into your life, or at least a little bit of fun. As luck would have it, this scent has never let me down.
