French girls are my best source of information, and I always go to them when I need some fresh insight into the current state of fashion. They just know what's up. So when my mind started to wander into a state of curiosity about accessories I had to dial-up Laberiane Ponton for a quick chat. I thought to myself, Now, what would the French have to say about the accessories that are really worth investing in right now? and she answered.

No lies were told as she described what the French really think about certain accessories.

You'd find many of them in an American's closet, but the French just get it, so I feel I have to share the report. If you're still holding onto these items, fear not. I worked with Ponton to come up with chic replacements that will make you never think about the things that you tossed again. Happy shopping!

"They're simply not practical in the city.

I would go with some cute mules."—Laberiane Ponton

You will live in these all spring and summer.

I have these in one color and now I need them all.

These shoes are everything.

I'm surprised these haven't sold out yet.

I'm so here for these.

"Never wear those, the best to do is to transition into spring days with bare legs and knee-high boots."—Ponton

The perfect replacement for tights when the weather is in that middle ground.

Perfect for April showers.

I'm obsessed.

Pair them with denim shorts for a cool girl look.

All about the buckles.

"Forget about the glitter—if you want to add something fun to your outfit, choose the new trendy mixed pearls necklaces."—Ponton

I absolutely need this.

How elegant is this?

Ready to party.

These are my favorite earrings right now.

Because layering is key.

"Because less is always more."—Ponton

I'm taking you everywhere with me.

So good.

Throw on and go.

This designer bag sits high on my vision board.

It's not a want, it's a need.

"We don't like big necklaces, so the best option for your neck is the accumulation of your favorite dainty gold necklaces."—Ponton

So into this.

This necklace will come in so clutch.

For the minimalists.

My personal favorite.

Exactly what the French would wear.
