I've Lived in NYC, L.A., and Boston—Here's Everything I Think Is Chic for Summer

Since I started working in the fashion industry, I have lived in New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston. One thing is certain no matter the location: Fashion people love to shop—myself included. With summer in full swing, I have spent many hours perusing my favorite online retailers for my warm-weather wardrobe. As always, my taste is bigger than my entire budget, but I am more than happy with the purchases I settled on.
Below, I rounded up just a handful of the elevated pieces I have my eye on this season. This includes everything from effortless basic tops and standout bags to sleek sandals, long denim shorts, cool linen pieces, and so much more. Keep scrolling to shop the 30 chic finds. Plus, many come in at under $100.
