Whether it’s your tech, your hair, or your wardrobe, sometimes we all need a little upgrade — and tiny tweaks can go a long way. This month, we challenged our dream shopping buddies at Polyvore to find the perfect accessories from the L.A. design house Ban.do and Brooklyn's hippest jewelry store, Catbird, in an #upgradeyourchic contest. Click through to see our four favorite sets. Warning: You may experience an acute case of Iwannashopitis. Good thing there’s a cure for that!
s-elle
You could run the world from a home office like this! This colorful set gave us #jobgoals and fashion inspiration — everything looks so damn good together. We’ll buy whatever s-elle's selling.
misskarolina
Pretty in pink is more versatile than you think. Karolina’s set did a fantastic job of showing how she’d pair her new favorites from Ban.do and Catbird with high-end fashion and trusted beauty products. This is how grown-ups do girly.
honii
A Beyoncé reference is always the right choice, so honii’s set entitled "Let Me Upgrade U" got our attention. Okay, ladies, now let’s get in formation with all these pretty and practical everyday items, from sassy sticky notes to the cutest sleep mask ever.
danielle-487
We fell head over heels for Danielle’s artsy-heartsy set. Sequins, mirrored Lolita-style sunglasses, cute illustrations, oh my! Major props for the playful collage styling — this could be a page in a fashion magazine.
Congrats to all our winners!
