10 Things We’re Loving Right Now
1. Chic Summer Dress
You may already have a favorite summer dress, but there’s always room for one more! This one is perfect for special occasions, daytime dressing or a casual summer night out.
Farm Rio Off-White Flora Tile Scallop Maxi Dress, $298

2. Lightweight Linen Set
This season, we’ve been all about the linen shirt-and-pants set. We adore whites and natural shades, but a chic black linen set can easily take you from summer into early fall.
Athleta Retreat Linen Top, now $52.50
Athleta Retreat Linen High Rise Wide Leg Pant, now $47.50
3. Patriotic Accessory
Bring on the red, white and blue and cue up “Take Me Home Country Roads.” These striped sneakers (OK, technically Adidas stripes) are a fun way to show your patriotic spirit in a subtle, stylish way all summer long.

4. White Denim Shorts
We’re starting to love shorts again, as long as they fit well and are long enough. These Gap shorts hit the sweet spot: long enough to feel comfortable but not so wide that they lose their flattering shape.
Gap 11″ Mid Rise Longline Denim Shorts, $69.95
5. Kitten Heel Sandal Upgrade
If you add one new shoe silhouette to your closet this summer, make it a kitten heel sandal. While you’ll see plenty of thong styles, a simple leather slide like this pair is much more comfortable. Wear them with your sundresses, linen sets, Bermuda shorts (everything we’re showing you here) and more for an easy seasonal update.
Schutz Dethalia Slide Heels, $138
6. SPF Beauty Favorite
This luxurious body mist not only protects your skin from the sun but also leaves behind a subtle, shimmery glow. It’s also easy to apply.
Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 42, $39
7. Travel Tote
The Calpak Luka Duffel is one of our favorite travel bags for so many reasons: it’s lightweight, soft yet durable, the perfect size for a weekend getaway or gym bag, fits under an airplane seat and even includes a separate shoe compartment. Plus, it comes in a variety of beautiful colors.
Calpak Luka Duffel in Rose Quartz, $138
8. Easy Outdoor Entertaining
We plan to do a little outdoor entertaining this summer, and this black-and-white check pitcher is a chic way to serve cocktails, lemonade, or even plain water. It’s made of acrylic, so it’s lightweight, won’t break and is dishwasher-safe, too.
MacKenzie-Childs Black Check Acrylic Pitcher, $49.95
9. Summer Fragrance
Lauren discovered this gorgeous summer fragrance, and it’s become an instant favorite. Fleur Narcotique is sophisticated, sensual and modern, with notes of peony, lychee and bergamot layered over warm woods. The result is an airy floral that’s elegant, feminine and just a little bit mysterious.
Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique Eau de Parfum, $265
10. A Fun Thing We’re Loving This Summer
This summer, we’re really into Staud’s beaded handbags. The short shoulder strap and baguette styling give us all the ’90s nostalgia vibes. Choose from whimsical, humorous, or graphic motifs depending on your mood. Several styles are currently on sale, including this colorful graphic print version.
Staud Timmy Shoulder Bag Happy Sack Beading, now $277
