Can you see it?

That’s right. Shells. They’re the accessory of the season, and I’ve fallen harder than I did for the Barbie movie.

You can throw on the simplest outfit (wrinkled linen, yesterday’s hair) and somehow still look like you planned the whole thing. That’s the magic of shells.

I spent an unreasonable number of hours “just looking,” and ended up with a cart full of options and a spreadsheet I’m oddly proud of. So here it is: my official shell curation. From budget-friendly to “should I text my therapist first?”

Curation

Click the links for prices and details, some are splurges, some are steals, all are worthy of your camera roll.

• The shell necklace on a sleek black cord is perfect for layering. Minimal, photogenic. HERE.
• The Anisah 14K-Gold-Plated necklace is already stacked for you, just throw it on with a plain top or swimsuit. HERE.
• The J.Crew piece is great for layering too, and they're running a major summer sale right now (no idea how long it'll last). HERE.
• This purse is a dream, conversation-starting and surprisingly reasonable. HERE.
• This one’s more of a splurge, but I picture it with a slick light-blue or seafoam dress, mermaid-core for the city. HERE.
• The most luxurious piece in this edit. Quiet, expensive energy. HERE.
• These Etsy rings give you the boho look for less. HERE.
• The final statement earrings are for my baddies only. Wear them all summer. Refuse to take them off. HERE.

Bonus

The necklace I’m wearing is right HERE. There’s also a slightly fancier version I didn’t get, and yes, I regret it. You can find that one HERE.
