7 SPECTACULAR ACCESSORIES EVERY GIRL NEEDS:

1. MENTIONABLE UNMENTIONABLES
The perfect underpinnings really do a lot to anchor a look. Start with an expert fitting, and then find just the right pieces that your wardrobe requires, from Yummie Tummie shapers to gorgeous and comfortable Cosabella bra and panty sets. Knickers: 492 N. Main St., Glen Ellyn; 630-469-BRAS;

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: 112 Danada Square West, Wheaton; 630-221-0215; 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 pick a 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. Select a pretty bejeweled barrette to work in so many springy ways: holding back bangs, securing a half-updo, or nestled in the perennial springtime favorite, the undone chignon. Enchantments: 534 Crescent Blvd., Glen Ellyn; 630-469-1989

5. A TERRIFIC TRENCH COAT
Options abound in the way of fun spring outerwear, and the trench coat is no exception! The striking and ingenious hooded magenta (which reverses to black!) trench in nylon-poly-lycra has a beautiful sheen and an artful shape, making it the new go-to spring coat. Katy’s: 427 N. Main St., Glen Ellyn; 630-469-4900; katysboutique.com

6. SHOWSTOPPING JEWELS
Perhaps the most fun thing about jewelry is that you can try ALL the trends! If you haven’t yet, this spring is the time to get a pair of feather or feather-inspired earrings. Whether actual, colorful feathers, or delicate metal interpretations, it’s a beautiful way to showcase the natural you. Francesca’s: 231A Town Square, Wheaton; 630-588-8780;

7. A LUXURIOUS HANDBAG
Add this to the top of your spring must-have list: a chameleon-esque Miche handbag. Pick your size and style, from a petite clutch wallet to a medium frame bag to a large tote, and then choose some magnetic shells (like skins) in your favorite solids, patterns, and animal-skin-like designs to interchange to your heart’s content! Two Shopaholics: 125 W. Front St., Wheaton; 630-682-0377; twoshopaholics.com
