Prom Spot - Prom Accessories: 5 Must-Have Accessories for Prom

You already have the perfect dress. The only thing left to do? Accessorize, of course! From feather clips to eco-friendly purses to edgy jewelry, check out this season's five must-have accessory trends for prom.

Feather Dusted
Feathers are popping up all over the red carpet -- even Jessica Alba had them on her dress at the Oscars. Ditch the usual tiara or rhinestone barrette and embellish your coif with a fabulous feather Keeley or Maggie clip from Fascinators NYC ($23 each). Wear your hair down and pin back one side or use the clip to adorn your updo. British "birds" have been sporting them for years, so you know it's just a matter of time before they get wildly popular here in The States. Be the first one in your school to start the trend.

Recycled Goods
Fashionable and good for the environment -- we can't think of a better combination (except maybe chocolate and boys!). Go green this prom while still looking stylish with a Nahui Ollin's Moonlite clutch, with wristlet, in yellow ($59). Each bag is made from recycled materials like candy and gum wrappers. They've even been featured on Gossip Girl, so you know they're hot.

Mirror, Mirror
Who's the fairest of them all? It's you, silly! The Queen Mirror Compact from glamRock ($35) guarantees you'll be the prettiest one at the ball. With 14k gold and Swarovski crystals, it's perfect for checking your hair and makeup in style. The best part is that it's small enough to stash in your tiny clutch! Even if you aren't crowned prom queen, this compact will make you look like royalty.

Pumped Up
Dancing the night away has never looked this chic. Kick up your heels with a pair of pumps in a stunning shade like these Red Kelli slingbacks from Payless ($20; available April 15). Add a splash of color to a neutral-toned dress, or go bold like Drew Barrymore and pair these with a complementary hue like yellow, purple, teal, or blue.

On the Edge
Give yourself a bit of an edge this prom season with trendy jewelry. Rock out with Kenneth Jay Lane's Pyramid Ring from Max and Chloe ($98), which not only mimics the Givenchy jacket Mary-Kate Olsen has been sporting lately, but also adds a little grit to your sweet style.
