As a fashion editor, there’s nothing that gets me more excited than discovering a really great fashion find for the new season ahead. Especially when it’s accompanied by an under-$100 price tag. Luckily, this summer season has no shortage of sartorial gems to get enthusiastic about. Take this floral minidress for example—an utterly charming frock I’ll be wearing to every casual weekend brunch. Nothing says summer quite like a Jane Birkin–esque straw bag—the epitome of French nonchalance. Or perhaps you prefer to get your hands on this season’s super-affordable net market bag? And these sophisticated sandals and cool-girl sunnies have already found their way into my virtual cart. Scroll below for all the chic summer essentials I can’t stop thinking about.
