Holy hell, where did July go? I was just plodding along after my birthday in late June and suddenly we somehow transported ourselves to the end of July. Which means we’re a hair away from fall here in Chicago, arg. I’m not ready to give it up and pledge to soak up every last minute of sunshine and humidity (yep, I don’t mind it…#dcgirl). To that end, some pieces (many of which are on mah-jor sale) that I’m still planning on snapping up for my late summer wardrobe:
I had been eyeballing this one-piece (a collab between Poppy Delevigne from Solid + Striped, $158) all summer and I decided to just freaking get it. I mean, there’s this Miu Miu scalloped bikini that I failed to buy a few seasons back and I’m just not letting this one pass me by. Those shoulder ties, though. (And if you’re into shoulder ties, check out this pinup style!) More sizes here.
Speaking of gingham, OMG. How much do you love this $69 steal!? Perfect for late summer BBQs. Not into the cut-out? Check out this midi skirt in the same fabric.
It’s been the summer of the slide. I’ve been wearing these nonstop, but my other two top picks are these (K. Jacques, on sale for like 80% off at $102!!! — and the orange is so fun and punchy!) and these (Dolce Vita, on sale for $39).
Is this Nars makeup palette not the BEST for summer? All my favorite shades, and in a convenient compact with a great value of $65.
This Ann Taylor linen romper ($119) is everything. I can’t get over the chic-ness. Pair with some slides like the ones above and you’re set. Not into rompers? Check out the dress version, also on sale. And P.S. — while we’re talking AT, I also love this dress, which looks just like a Zimmermann style I’d been eyeballing for awhile.
Barney’s is having a major sale moment, and these funky but sleek Aquazzura flats are on sale for $389!
This asymmetrical Lisa Marie Fernandez dress has been marked down from close to $800 to $363. I want it badly, and picture pairing it with these rope tie sandals (on sale for $89!!) and this Sensi Studio hat (on sale for $59), which I’ve seen all the chic peas wearing.
How FRESH is this denim button-front dress (on sale for $109), especially with these stacked heels ($120)?!
I’m SO into the bikini like Kiini. I feel like I am transported to Tahiti when I see them. Snag your own set here or here.
How about this little ray of sunshine ($62) for a summer wedding?!
