3) Flats – From ballet to pointed-toe, flats have been worn as the comfortable alternative to having the cutest shoes on the block.

4) Charm necklaces – One of 2006’s biggest trends was charm necklaces: hearts, birds, keys, and even antlers have been worn around the necks of hipsters everywhere.

5) Threadless – It seems like everyone has a shirt from Threadless—and why shouldn’t they? With new designs every week, it’s hard not to crack a smile at these witty T’s.

6) Aviator sunglasses – These shades are the perfect addition to any outfit, and will make anyone feel like an instant rock star.
