1. The first item on the list is something everyone needs. No matter who you are, an umbrella is almost always necessary. Especially because the weather can be so unpredictable these days, a cute and small umbrella is a necessity. Forget the drab black umbrellas of years’ past. Instead, buy one with funky patterns or bright colors.  Tucked into your car’s dashboard or stuffed into a purse pocket, umbrellas can be stored anywhere.  Find your inner little girl and carry a mini Barbie Patchwork umbrella from Target. For only $10.00, this is a style steal! You can even show off your outfit while using an umbrella with a cute, clear one. Try Totes Bubble Umbrella in Electric Blue. It can also be found at Target for just $16.99.

2. The next item on the list can bring a splash of color and warmth to any outfit. The wrap scarf is versatile and oh-so-luxurious.  These scarves come in various colors and patterns, not to mention, they can be incredibly soft.  Wraps can be used to dress up a plain tee shirt and jeans or a little black dress.  Their versatility makes this accessory a great investment.  Find a funky patterned wrap scarf like this one from Forever21 for only $10.80.  You can also find them in stores like Target, Walmart, or Macy’s.

3. From school hallways to walking in the mall, this hot fashion item has been seen all over. The knit beret is a funky and fun way to keep your head warm, while adding flair to your outfits.  Also available in multiple colors, this head warmer can be worn with your hair tucked in or out.  Depending on the style and what is worn with it, the knit beret can fit into different personal styles.  From bohemian chic to uptown class, this accessory is a must.  You can find various styles at stores like Forever21 and Urban Outfitters. This multicolored beret is found at Forever21 for a mere $8.

4. No longer just for keeping your hair out of your face during sports practice, headbands are a stylish alternative to a barrette or hat. From the subtle, skinny headband, to the outlandish Blair Waldorf inspired bands, these hair accessories are popping up on heads of girls around the globe. The good thing is that headbands range in styles and prices, and therefore, they are sure to please any girl. Stores that specialize in accessories are a good place to find cute headbands.  Claire’s, Icing, and Forever21 stock plenty of headbands.  This jeweled headband will add pizzazz to any outfit.  For only $5.00 from Forever21, it’s a steal that you will not regret.

5. Moving on from fashion to beauty, this beauty item can glam up any outfit. The latest trend taking up the nail polish world is the matte craze. Seen up and down the runways and on celebrities, matte nails are sweeping the fashion world.  With a clean, no-gloss finish, matte nails create drama and depth.  However, this trend is not for the fainthearted.  But not to worry, because anyone can try out this look with Essie’s Matte About You. At only $10.00 a bottle, this little magic maker makes any nail color you already own a matte finish.
