My favourite are rings. Vintage looking ones mostly, but I also adore the chunky silver rocker type!
I don’t know why; I can live without necklaces, scarves etc. and I never wear bracelets, but I need my rings.
I wear them pretty much daily. I just love the way they can really kick up a look, especially when I’ve dressed exceptionally girly, a full hand full of rings can give a bold, spunky flair :]
my favorite accessory would definitley be necklaces or earrings, ecspecially the kawaii/cute/vintage/retro type ones, because they bring out my personality, even if im at school or something. my favorite earrings are big chunky ones or dangly ones, mainly because they arte seen better. i love them when they are things like cupcakes, diamonds or unicorns (etc) because theyre all very magical and creative, like me. i think theese accessories help me bring out my personality like that because even if im wearing plain school uniform or a formal dress, i can wear them and still be me. :3

or bags, because theyre so handy and can do ehat i said above. you can never have too many bags. ever.
Mmmm. This is tough. I love hats, but my absolute favorite would have to be earrings! There are billions of possibilities, and they can communicate my style, no matter where I am & what else I’m wearing. My favorite thing to do is wear a pair with blue in them the same color as my eyes so that they really pop!
My favorite accessories are rings because depending on your mood you can pick really big rings or really small rings and whichever color, you can also the double rings!
My favourite accessories have to be necklaces, I have more than I can count in numerous tangles messes in my jewelry box. I never have a favorite, because I’ll have 5 ones I wear continuously for 2 weeks or so. For instance, the one I’m wearing at the moment has significance because my Mom bought it for me while she was on vacation. It’s a rectangle of black stone with a piece of, i think,foil inside in a diamond shape that turns from blue to green depending on the way the light hits it. I get so many compliments on it, and when I went to Disney World in February, Tinkerbell and Terrance thought it was a piece of the moonstone.
Is this for all over the world? Cause I live in Norway and I want to enter SO badly!
By favourite accessory would definitely be a bag. A bag can show your personality better than any other accessory – think about it, in school where you’re restricted to wearing a uniform, what else do you have do express yourself? Your pencil case maybe, but more importantly – your bag. The same applies when you’re out of school, a handbag shows off your personality through pattern, shape, designer etc. And not to mention the bag being the most useful accessory of all, carrying as little or as much as you want! With thousands of designers and high-street brands to chose from, everyone is spoilt for choice getting a bag!
My favourite accessories are necklaces ! You can DIY it, add bow on it, flowers… it completly change how you’re dressed ! You add a necklace and then the incomplete dress is now a perfect dress ! That’s the touche finale ! ! :P
I just love jewlery. Rings, necklaces, earrings: I love them all. I tend not to wear bracelets because my wrists are tiny and bracelets will more or less fall off.
I have two favorite necklaces. I wear a bronze colored fluer de lis my boyfriend gave to me that I wear all the time. I also have a vintage gold chain necklace that I adore. I also love rings. I constantly wear a ring from my boyfriend. It is silver with the word LOVE stamped onto it. It was made by a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I own another cool ring that was made out of a fork. It’s really awesome.
My favorite accessory would be this bow of course!

Touche good sir, Touche.
My favorite accessory is a bangle bracelet my aunt bought me from ID. It matches most everything I wear. It makes my dullest outfits look more interesting and punk chic. I wear it everyday.
Decorated hairpins for sure. They are practical, subtle and you can have plenty of fun with them. You can wear em to work and going out. The thing I love about hairpins is that you can’t pin ‘em up wrong. You just cannot! ;D x
My favourite accessories are the broaches. I really love them and I have more than 20. All kinds of colours and shapes, flowers, portraits. I think broaches give you a chic allure no matter what you wear.
Awesome bow! My favorite accessory is an octopus necklace I found in a Chicago thrift store. It’s quite the conversation starter.
My favourite accessories are most definitely hair accessories,especially bows! My absolute favourite bow is my giant neon pink bow that I made myself. I love standing out in a crowd,even if my mum doesn’t always appreciate it!
My current fav accessory is a skull ring with rhinestones :-) Love it ! Very Cute Bow !
I love my gummy bear necklace. What can be better than non-perishable candy jewelry? :]

i have a gummy bear necklace, but it’s only got 1 gummy bear.
My favorite accessory is a chunky silver ring with mother of pearl scales on it. I wear it all the time! =)
My favorite accessory right now are my floral hair clips. I love to hand make them to match my outfits, they’re so cheap and easy, I could make one for every day of the week! My most recent one was made for an outfit for Lolita Day, when I went to NYC: http://i47.tinypic.com/33fc2fa.jpg
I like my bendy necklace that can be twisted into a necklace, bracelet or headdress because it is awesome!
You look absolutely gorgeous in that photo…and that bow is to die for. Its gorgeous!
My favorite accessory are belts, I collect them like no tomorrow. It all started when my dad left a box of unused vintage belts and I went belt happy. I just feel that they give outfits a bit of pizzaz. It can accentuate a persons tiny waist, it can bring life to a simple dress, and just really show a persons personality. Example…. I would wear a girly dress but I add a studded belt to show I have a bit on of an edge. I just love them : )
My favourite accessory are definitely my watches. I absolutely love watches of any kind, I have a constant need to know what the time is as I’m always running back and forth. My favourite watch right now is this cute vintage pocket watch that has been turned into a necklace. I have lots of others, my black diamond swatch watch, a leather cuff watch…and on a whim (as I have very skinny wrists) a children’s hello kitty watch! Just to name a few :)
Lipstick because you can always be creative and change with your mood. There are so many options with lipstick and depending on your personality, you can really individualize your look. You can go classic with red, sweet with pink, or be creative and fun with blue or purple. It’s the perfect accessory.
I can’t live without hair accessories. My hair is really thick and I can’t do a massive with it, I have to have a simple and easy to manage short style. Therefore, I use hairbands and clips to give myself a new look everyday! I use different ones to reflect my mood or the occasion. I wear them so much that the other day I wasn’t wearing one as I had been at work, and my boyfriend had to ask me if I was ok as it was so unusual for my hair to be bare! I would show that massive bow a good time! Xx
People call me Kitten for a good reason, my favourite accessory is cat ears! I love wearing ears, either cat ears, or Minnie Mouse ears. My particular favourite ears are leopard print clip in cat ears, I love them because they don’t come on a headband so you can’t see how they are fixed in, and because of the mixture of natural blondes in my hair that almost match it and I can pretend I’m a real life Kitten ;)
They always make strangers in the street smile!
I am obsessed with heart-shaped pendants of any kind. There’s something so classic about them, but you can give them such a twist too. I have one that’s flat & red & says “angry” on it, one that’s silver with multicolored jewels, one that’s chunky & coral with a red & gold chain, & I want so many more! I spend way too much time trawling Etsy for silver lockets & big red lucite anatomical hearts…
My favourite accessory is a nice, spiffy fedora. it gives off an androgynous look… which in my world is always in style.
scarves. i think they can be such a statement piece…and an affordable way to buy designer
I love different kinds of driving gloves – mesh ones with polka dots and bows at the wrists, half-gloves, studs on the wrist straps, etc.
My favourites accessories are Bows and Shoes ! Because I thinks bows are elegants (on a dress , on hair , on shoes…) and Shoes because they are what we are ! they are our personnality !
How adorable! My favorite fashion accessory is good eye makeup. :] Even if my outfit isn’t wonderful, if I add good eye makeup I feel so much better.
Love and Turtledoves,
Jaco
Scarves! I love ‘em. They make a plain white v-neck interesting and they’re warm and you can wear them in your hair or around your neck or tied to your bag and in floral prints. I simply adore them, that’s all.
My favorite accessory is the ring that was my Great Aunts who passed away on my birthday two years ago. <3 When I wear it, it feels like she is still with me.
My absolute favorite accessory, hands down, is my chunky swarovski crystal and pearl necklace!
It’s got beautiful pearls and chunks of crystal, and the center part of the necklace is three oval-ish shaped crystals right in a row. Its HEAVY, and although its mostly clear or white, it’s very unique and I’m always trying to fit it in with outfits. The pearls make it classic, the rough-hewn crystal gives it an edge so it can dress up or tone down, and always add some spice!
My favourite accessory has to be my skull & bow necklace. Tiny little square frame with a photo of a real skull in it, sounds & looks really morbid but sat at the top is the cutest little pink ribbon bow which contrasts so well against the skull. Cannot remember where I got it but never seen another. Love that it might be the only one around :) <3
My favourite accessory, as odd as it may sound, is an old bonnet I purchased from a museum gift shop. It’s absolutely ridiculous but also kind of fantastic.

Hehe, I recently bought myself a bonnet, I want to bring that vintage look back into fashion!
My favorite accessory is a gold watch on a chain meant to be worn like a necklace. My grandmother gave it to me right before she passed away a few years ago. It is an amazing vintage piece and looks great with almost everything. My favorite part is a recently discovered photo of her in a social magazine from her hometown and she’s wearing that watch while hosting a fancy tea party. When I wear it, I feel like she’s close to me.
My favorite acessory is a plastic star bracelet my friend made me for my birthday. It is just little, plastic star beads on string, and I love it. I wear it everyday and even though it isn’t the nicest piece of jewelry I own, I wear it more than anything else. I love the simplicity and colors.
Hats and other hair accessories are my favourite. Seeing as they make my (soon to be) blue haired head pop even more.
Scarves are my absolute favorite. I wear them as belts, shirts, tie them around my hair (my favorite way) or, y’know, around my neck. They just add a cute touch to boring outfits :)
My favourite accessories are rings, especially my Stag ring which is absolutely massive and rises a good 2″ off my finger.
My Cosmo pop lipstick of course!
<3
Cute, fun, and fantastic color~ Nothing beats it!

Earrings for the win! It totally change your head and looks great! And there is so much different style to go with! From classy silver to flower or hot pink, it’s always awesome! :)
My most favorite accessory SHOES they just finish off or add an amazing touch of color. Throw on some 4 inch heels and go!
Ooh, tough one :)
I think I favourite accessory has got to be my dove ring, it’s so beautiful! It’s sort of a faded silver, and it’s pretty big so it goes over 2 fingers, and the dove is in flight, I love it!

My favorite accessory would have to be a gold owl necklace from Forever21 with black and turquoise jewels. I wear it whenever I can :)
My favorite accessory is a brooch! They can range anywhere from simple and small to big and out there. You can pin them anywhere on your outfit or hair. I wear one I made almost every single day, it’s made from fake flowers and teddy bear eyeballs!
A bright pink bow – whether it’s on a necklace, a brooch, or on some stockings! right now i’m loving my pink bow necklace! I want some pink bow earrings next
My favorite accessory has to be necklaces. I’ve been making my own jewelry for years, as well as jewelry for others, and nothing I’ve ever made grabs attention quite like a well designed necklace. I like to wear overly long necklaces with large pendants with t-shirts and casual clothes, but wear short, more classy (pearls and crystals) necklaces when I am dressed up.
My favorite accessory is a diamond ring that I wear every day. My father gave it to my mother when they were still married, and it reminds me every day how lucky I am to have parents who get along with each other.
