In my quest to find alternative ways to accessorize this summer, I stumbled upon the creator of a delightfully stylish line of women's and girl's hair ornaments. Andrea Chafetz, of Andrea's Beau, gleans inspiration from her travels around the world to design masterpieces with beautiful silk flowers, trims and ribbons.

Andrea's collection of enchanting hair accessories provides countless opportunities to adorn hair. I love my Laurel Jacquard double adjustable soft headband. Being adjustable is just one of the differentiators. The materials used, another. However, the thought process behind the product is what really separates Andrea's Beau from its competition. And the icing on the cake: Andrea's Beau supports two charities, The Princess Program (providing abused and neglected teenage foster girls with special events) and love.fútbol (dedicated to building sustainable soccer fields for children in impoverished communities).

Andrea was destined for success. After all, it's in the genes — her grandfather, a dress manufacturer; her grandmother, a department store millinery buyer; her father, owner of New York women's boutiques; and her mother, a fashion model and noted artist. Her talent has enabled girls of all ages to express their style. And Andrea's Beau has the most extensive girl's collection I have seen! My daughter nearly flipped when she explored the variety of hair accessories. Needless to say, the holiday shopping list has begun. For the month of August, receive 20% off your order (excludes shipping) with the promotional code: mystylefiles. Enjoy!

Style and functionality make The Hookup a necessity. This brilliant accessory clips to your handbag and makes it a breeze to keep your handbag off of any dirty surface. The fashionable heart, plated in gold or platinum, clips to your purse strap and twists open to hook your purse to any table or door (or chair, stroller, grocery cart, etc.). It's fantastic! And it's designed to hold even the heaviest of handbags (even mine, with everything I carry).

When you take the time to put an outfit together, it's important to get the accessories right. You look and feel put together. And you control where you direct the attention - use it to your advantage. For example, if you want people to notice your eyes, wear sparkly earrings (even better if they are the same color of your eyes). What sets you apart from others are accessories that highlight your coloring and style.

Did you know that everyone has a necklace length unique to themselves? It's called a balance point (it's actually your second balance point). It starts with an understanding of your specific facial features. You can also create this balance point with a V-neck or boatneck top. Compliment it with a longer necklace, scarf, or jacket detail hitting at your first balance point. To learn more about your unique balance points, feel free to contact me.

Round faces need to stick with square or rectangular shapes to balance the roundness in their face. Speaking of sunglasses, my sister has these gorgeous Tom Ford sunglasses. Perfect for oval face shapes.

12295_b4ww_a0_front.thumbnailHandbags should also be proportioned to your body type. Believe it or not, it makes a difference. I don't wear purses over my shoulder, which lends a bit of flexibility. I wear purses in the crutch of my arm - that's part of my style, my signature. Everyone has their own style. Once you have figured it out, flaunt it with confidence!

61c73qgry_normal.thumbnailAccessories pull you together. However, do not let them take over. Sometimes, less is best - especially when you are wearing a stunning top or outfit that takes center stage. But let's say you are wearing a simple top with jeans and want to spice it up. How about some bangles on your arm?

Don't stop half way. Take the time to make your look complete. Trust me, you will get noticed - and for all of the right reasons.
