This skirt just came across my desk, and I was instantly enamored. I, in fact, ship the entire outfit. With Jean has been a staple of mine for a few years now, and I am always really happy with the quality of the pieces I’ve bought! Very on trend + wearable.
Speaking of, I also really love this top. I remember reaching out to them circa 2021ish to ask how the brand name is pronounced for a video. Fun fact: it’s just jean as in jeans. I was trying to make it way too fancy. C’est la vie!
I shared these shorts on IG yesterday, and I am in love. I am kind of a chartreuse hater, I must admit, but these do something for me! Throw them on with a cutie baby tee and ballerinas for an easy fit that is heat wave-approved yet still chic.
This dress is so slinky and cool. It reminds me of something from the late 90s/early 2000s. It would be perfect for any upcoming vacays or to bop around town with flip-flops.
I also got this set in this week, and it’s so cutie. It’s great for work outs or for running errands when you just want something easy. I will forewarn anyone with an ass that it is quite a bit shorter than on the model, so keep that in mind when choosing a size! Very easy to pair with Salomons and the Melissa mules we all love!
I also ordered these earrings (still waiting for them to arrive, so I will report back). I am living for dangle earrings right now, and the glass beads feel so on trend and cool girl.
I love this little cutie bag I found on The Real Real. Great price, very wearable, and I love the shape! Very fall coded, but it will look great now, too.
I am also loving this top from Zara I saw this morning. So cool. So chic! I would pair with low-rise denim and flip-flops or jellies.
Another notable Zara find is this very fab necklace. I know this statement piece won’t be for everyone, but I am into it! You can style with a strapless top, a white tee, or any tank. Primary colors will be it for fall.
This bag also reminds me of The Row one I featured in the cover image of my video this week. I’m really feeling colorful suede for fall!
Don’t sleep on these perfect little wedges. All kinds of wedges are in right now, but I gravitate toward this style the most. I love the early aughts vibes. Very Love Island UK if you ask me!
I know this is going to feel like “a lot” for some of you, but I promise these are going to be really in for fall, and I am obsessed. I think they’re fabulous!
You know I live for a cool graphic tee. Buy this one before I do! The script is my life’s motto.
Longchamp is so back! I’m loving the shape of this tote. They really are the perfect mix of function and style.
Obsessed with this gorg blouse. You can style it now with jorts and silk shorts and later with jeans and camo pants. So good. It will def sell out.
I shared this on Stories this week, but I am obsessed with this Row-esque tote I found. So chic and practical!
This top is an immediate yes. The color is gorgina, and the off-the-shoulder style gives chic hot girl in the best way. I would throw on with any denim (bonus if it’s a boot cut for a true Desperate Housewives vibe). It would also look great with linen pants, basically any skirt, and capris.
If you’re looking for an affordable black leather bag that is equal parts cool and timeless, this is she. I am loving the shape, the style, and the interior. Obsessed!
This top is what my casual dreams are made of. You can quite literally style it with anything. Sweats? Check! Skirts? Check! Denim? Check. Check. Check. It’s a must!
I love this style of dress for when it’s hawt as f*** yet you still need to look chic. You can pair with clear thong sandals, a kitten heel, or mules. So good!
I’m buying these shorts immediately. This color is so fun and fresh. Imagine with a fun wedge heel and a white crop top. They would also be cute styled more casually with flats and a vintage tee.
I’m obsessed with dual waist anything right now. This will be a huge trend the rest of the year, and I love these sweats. They’re a cool way to elevate a basic!
We’ll be discussing a lot of transitional and fall trends next week for paid subscribers, so make sure you follow to read the tea. I share predictions, style tips, and my finds here first before they make it to TikTok or IG!
