As Executive Accessories Editor for ELLE, Kate Davidson Hudson covers markets from New York to Paris to Geneva. Conceptualizing and styling stories for ELLE and ELLE’s online Accessories Channel, Kate picks the newest, latest, and chicest accessory options for every season.

Derek Lam – Haircalf Jacket with Vintage Leather Sleeves The unexpected mix of patterned calf hair and luxe leather makes this über chic. A permanent piece in any wardrobe.

Thakoon – Breakaway Leather Leggings The perfect leather pant is hard to come by. I love the rich, matte finish of this pair.

3.1 Phillip Lim – Tie Front Henley Blouse A modern take on the classic blouse. From jeans to skirts, it adds a sense of polish to any outfit.

Alexander Wang – Kasia Whipstitch Wedge Sandals The pitch of the wedge is completely manageable, and I love the texture of the whipstitch detailing.

Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes – Tapered Toe Pumps Giuseppe Zanotti is the master of the pump. I love this variation in stark white—an important color for the season.

Parker – Floral Cami Dress I love the contrast of a flirty floral frock paired with something a little tougher, like a leather jacket and a strong shoe.
