3 Brands to Add To Your Spring & Summer Wardrobe
Even though the weather is dreary here in NJ, the stores and my social media feeds are full of short sleeves, swimsuits, and beachy accessories. While online shopping, I saw a few brands that were new to me and wanted to share with you all. Here are 3 brands to add to your spring and summer wardrobe, all which can be found on Shopbop.
Poolside Bags
Best friends and co-founders Ashleigh Hults and Alicia Murphy introduced Poolside Bags in 2016, bringing a fun and stylish twist to beach accessories. The idea sparked during a getaway to St. Barths when they struggled to find the ideal beach bag — so they created their own! Crafted from straw and hand-embroidered with personality, their designs take inspiration from classic French market totes, featuring playful pop culture references. They’re perfect for your next seaside escape, whether you need something to hold your phone or your new beach book.
I have a hard time picking my favorite from the choices below — they’re all so perfect for a summer or beach vacation. But if I HAD to pick, I’d probably choose the heart or floral option since those are very “Rachel”.

Julietta
Jewelry brand Julietta mixes vintage glamour and modern elegance (they say themselves they are inspired by fashion icons like Lacroix and Schiaparelli). This Brooklyn-based jewelry brand reimagines sculptural design with a contemporary twist. Founded in 2021, each piece is handcrafted in the heart of Dumbo by a talented team of women of color, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and artistry.
If you’re a fan of statement pieces and something “chunkier” (for lack of a better word), Julietta is right up your alley.

Dress To
Born in the lively heart of Rio de Janeiro, Dress To is more than just a fashion brand — according to them, it’s a celebration of self-expression. Rooted in Brazilian culture, the label embraces local craftsmanship, honoring the creativity, tradition, and talent of its homeland. Their vibrant collections of dresses, jumpsuits, and tops capture the essence of the Carioca lifestyle, blending playful designs with effortless style.
