Looking for luxury accessories to elevate your summer style or gift ideas when flowers just don’t cut it? I’ve scoured the Neiman Marcus site and new arrivals for hours on the hunt for new luxury staples and elevated essentials. And there are a few goodies you won’t want to miss (I’ve nearly talked myself into treating myself to a few things).

Here are the best of the best luxury accessories from exciting new brands in gold jewelry, versatile summer handbags, luxury brand sunglasses, and in Vogue gift ideas for Spring and Summer 2022.

Better than thou Dior luxury brand sunglasses

Did summer really happen if not in a fresh pair of luxury brand sunnies? Christian Dior is the winner in this category this season, with a classic wayfarer silhouette and nostalgic logo details embossed in gold. A little preppy, a little nostalgic, a little “better-than-thou”. And let’s be honest, that’s what this essential is all about. 

Duality Cult Gaia suri pearl anklet

If Cult Gaia isn’t on your brand watch list, it should be. Modernizing luxury with abstract silhouettes reminiscent of modern art, they’re taking over the fashion scene by storm. This natural pearl anklet is just one example of their unique approach to design, perfect to transform your look from ordinary to startling intrigue. 

Everyone wants it Saint Laurent Rive Gauche raffia beach tote

Debatably the most popular beach tote of the season, competing with Prada’s equally fashionable raffia tote. Treat yourself. 

I’m begging you to buy me this Jacquemus le ciuciu chain shoulder bag

If you offered me one item from the Neiman Marcus site right now, this would be it. Hello sleek, modern yet nostalgic, elegant stallion you. This mini handbag is everything, and no surprise from a brand that has been literally slaying all summer style. The elongated geometric silhouette, mixed metallics, and a luxurious simplicity speaks for itself – its an iconic bag for the new season, and a staple for years to come. If I could have two pieces from Neiman… it also comes in white.

Ferragamo is typically a bit mature for my taste, but to these leather bit loafers, I would rock you. Way to totally slay this trend Ferry. You have me keeping an eye on you. 

A pretty steal Baublebar duality half-pearl anklet

Duality is a big trend in jewelry, and one I’m embracing full force with double the expression. This cute little half-perl anklet doesn’t quite fall under luxury, but it’s a super cute way to freshen up your summer style for just $38. Consider it a wishlist bonus.
