Summer Clothing & Accessories from Your Favorite Stores
Everyone raves about fall fashion, but I tend to spend the most money buying new items for summer. Anyone else? Maybe it’s because I have more events (vacations, get-togethers, date nights) when the weather is warmer, so there is more shopping to do? Who knows.
Regardless, I’ve spent some time browsing some of my favorite stores for their newest summer clothing and accessories and wanted to share my picks with you.
J Crew Factory Summer Finds
J Crew Factory makes great swimsuits and summer dresses — I’ve owned many over the years and they hold up for a few years. This year, I’m loving the beachy motifs, pretty patterns, and simple accessories.

J Crew Summer Finds
J Crew’s summer pieces can be described as a fresh, vintage-inspired summer aesthetic. The focus on comfort, natural textures, and playful femininity mean these pieces will likely be in style year after year.

Abercrombie Summer Finds
Sometimes I feel like a grandma walking into Abercrombie because I’m surrounded by fit 20-somethings in their baggy jeans. But since my style can be pretty youthful overall, I gravitate towards that youthful vibe (especially during summer when I can get away with it more). I’m loving the cut-outs and tie details on their summer pieces.

Anthropologie Summer Finds
Anthro’s summer pieces are — as always — whimsical, playful, and retro-inspired. Big trends this year are fruits and drinks, embroidery, “retro resort” style, flowy silhouettes, and scallop-cut hems.

Celandine Embroidered Poplin Square-Neck Mini Shift Dress | The Colette Beaded Icon Shorts by Maeve | Celandine Boxy Crew-Neck Tee | Celandine Graphic Scallop One-Piece Swimsuit | Coney Island Picnic Hat | Sunski Sunglasses | Frasier Sterling Fruit Hair Claw Clips | Beaded Charm Necklace | Celandine Linen Blend Halter Asymmetrical Eyelet Sundress | Tiare Hawaii Dixi Linen Pull-On Shorts | The Fiona Beaded Slide Sandals by Maeve | Dolce Vita Raffia Slouchy Bag
Shopbop Summer Finds
Shopbop has so many summer pieces that it’s hard to narrow it down (but I tried!) I’m loving all the floral and fish accents and crochet among their selection of women’s clothes and accessories.
