It's time...to pile on the accessories!

Summer may be over, but a new season calls for new accessories! It’s time to pile on the layers for fall, and Clos-ette has rounded up our favorite brands to accessorize your winter wardrobe. Any accessory can deliver a modern dose of glamour to any outfit, casual or fancy. So for an instant uplift, add a Roarke necklace, TRE ring or Chan Luu earrings to transform your outfit from Plain Jane to City Chic.

Our expert stylists at Clos-ette swear by outfitting a majority of our wardrobes with essential basics and adding interchangeable accessories to spice up your clothes.

Last year, we wrote a blog about the then fairly new brand Roarke. And it comes as no surprise that they’re now on Shopbop (which we all know is a necessary bookmark for any shopaholic’s browser). Not to worry, Roarke is still handmade to order, keeping their customers connected to the brand. What’s even better is that their price point is still the same – starting at $60 for a Roarke bracelet. Handmade to order jewelry for $60 dollars is unheard of!



We are very happy to also announce that Roarke has expanded their line, bringing you new and totally chic accessories. Roarke now offers more necklaces, headpieces and bracelets as well as garters, bowties and neckties!

And stay tuned because you will soon be able to order your own Roarke handbag! Some of our favorites from the latest at Roarke include their tribal inspired prints, leopard prints, and so many more. Check out more pics below of some of our favorite new Roarke products! To purchase visit www.roarkenyc.com or www.shopbop.com
Another way to add a little something to your outfit is to accessorize with TRE. The idea behind TRE was inspired by working mothers on the go. Founders, Marisa Brown and Ulrica Lanaro, came together with a common passion for unique and bold fashion. TRE values the importance of easy, chic and affordable design. The rings go for anywhere between $50 and $85. Add these statement pieces to your basics and it will totally transform your look without costing a fortune!Even better is that TRE is behind the One TRE / One Tree charity donating a percentage of sales to something that’s around you everyday – the environment. Each time you buy a TRE accessory, a tree is planted on your behalf. Additionally, the products are made from glass which is used for its accessibility, practicality and striking aesthetic. TRE is designed for all women – any age. In fact, each ring is named after women in the founders’ families ranging from grandmothers to daughters. The Anita is named after Ulrica’s mother, the biggest and boldest of all. The Gioia was named after Marisa’s daughter because it is patterned and playful. There is a style and color for women of ever generation. While still working with glass, the fashionistas over at TRE plan to expand with adding chains to their collection as well as now working with lucite and making bangles. Their motto is to stick to fun, bold and affordable fashion that really makes a statement and we can’t wait to see what they have next!

Lastly, another option for affordable accessories is Chan Luu. The accessory line started in 1996 and has since been featured in Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and many more. Chan Luu is described as, “semi-precious stones, beads, and colored fresh water pearls, Chan's trademark is her artistic skill in combining unusual forms with beautiful colors to create truly striking pieces which set the trend in fashion jewelry.” Each piece is one of a kind and many are handmade in the USA.

Chan Luu is referred to as the “queen of layering”. From jewelry to clothing, Chan Luu is a one-stop shop. Her versatile leather-wrap bracelets double as chokers while her long, colorful necklaces layered with chunky, bold beads complete any outfit.
