In the summer, a single accessory can transform an outfit. A white tee and denim short duo are made a million times more appealing by a bright headband; little black dresses are vacation-ready with the introduction of a floppy hat. And don’t get me started on straw bags.
If your summer wardrobe is in need of subtle TLC, we present you with several gorgeous accessories that deliver both fashion and function, all available at Target.

If you love the straw bag look but don't want to commit to the full thing, this mini tote handbag is truly the best of both worlds — a lush faux-leather top in a striking pink color with a straw base. It's small but packs a lot, with a large open interior that makes space for all of your essentials.

A speckled claw hair clip
I can't guarantee much, but I can guarantee this — summer heat means my hair is going up within ten minutes of being outside. Keep this claw clip in your purse for easy updos that aren't as damaging to your tresses as a traditional black hair tie. Available in five colors.
