7 SPECTACULAR ACCESSORIES EVERY GIRL NEEDS:

1. MENTIONABLE UNMENTIONABLES
The perfect underpinnings really do a lot to anchor a look, from shapers to slips to bra and panty sets. Experience an expert fitting from one of the last true corsetieres. Alterations are also available to ensure perfection! And don’t miss the exquisite lacy negligees, corsets and amazing swimwear. Tina’s Closet: 4745 Main St., Lisle; 630-810-0046; tinasclosetinc.com

2. PRECISELY PERFECT POLISH
Try some of the new color trends in manicures this spring at home, including Yummy Mummy, a shimmery shade of the ubiquitous greige; Toff, a rosy mauve; and Trout Pout, the sweetest sheer pink, by Butter London. Butter’s lacquers are formaldehyde-, toluene-, DBP-, and paraben-free, and always capture the hottest color trends from the runways… in a bottle. Ulta: 1310 W. 75th St.; 630-852-6380; ulta.com

3. CHIC SUNGLASSES
Every girl’s gotta have a great pair of shades, especially once the sun starts shining more and more. Get in on the fun trends for spring with a pair of cat-eye, diamond-shape, or sporty-looking frames, or a pick pair in a sunny hue! Sunglass Hut: 203 Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard; 630-953-0801; sunglasshut.com

4. DARLING HAIR DÉCOR
A little touch of sparkle can really amp up your coiffure. You’ll find pearl-rimmed combs, rhinestone-embellished headbands (with a few delicate flowers or full-on tiara style), and even pastel-crystal barrettes. But don’t miss the Bendys: gold, silver, or tricolor metal lengths that you can twist around a headband or ponytail! Baubles & More: 5121 Main St., Downers Grove; 630-434-4441

5. A TERRIFIC TRENCH COAT
Options abound in the way of fun spring outerwear, and the trench coat is no exception! Find beautifully feminine-yet-practical iterations here, including a mushroom Lilibleu with an origami-ruffle collar, Luii’s light-navy short trench with a subtle ruffle-pleat hem, or classic style with an asymmetrical zip in a fierce leopard print, also by Luii, all under $100! Style Studio: 1015 Curtiss St.; 630-852-1304; stylestudiodg.com

6. SHOWSTOPPING JEWELS
Artisanal attention to material, detail and craftsmanship is de rigueur for jewelry pieces included here, which all have as much intrinsic story as they do rugged style. When you select a necklace, earrings, bracelet or pin, you’ll not only have a statement piece, but a conversation piece as well. Sundance Gallery: 5226 Main St.; 630-541-8217; hozhonigallery.com

7. A LUXURIOUS HANDBAG
Rest assured that your handbag needs will be gorgeously and uniquely met, because they’ve been hand-selected by an MFA! Find what you’re seeking, whether it be a luxurious day bag in pebbled leather with metal embellishments, or a chic silk evening bag with elegant crystal accents. She’s Boutique: 5131 Main St.; 630-390-1610
