I'm not great at planning in advance. In fact, I tend to do most things last minute—booking vacations, planning get-togethers, and, yes, even shopping. This may come as a surprise (I am a fashion editor, after all), and despite writing about summer fashion well before the sunny season arrived, the truth is I haven't actually bought that many summer pieces for myself yet. But with a few getaways finally lined up and my Google Cal filling up fast, this week, I decided it's time to invest in some new items that will easily see me through the warm-weather season in style.
To get inspired, I tapped the ever-stylish Arielle Siboni—Bloomingdale's fashion director—and asked her to share some of the must-have summer items she's buying this season, from vacation-ready matching sets to fashion-forward accessories. If you're looking to stock up on some fresh items to spruce up your summer wardrobe, take a peek below for the best pieces at Bloomingdale's right now. Then keep scrolling for more under-$150 editor favorites.

"This dress is not only adorable, but it also combines all of summer's best trends—crochet, cutouts, pink, and a mini—into one look."
"The perfect bag to throw your stuff in, whether you're going to the gym or the beach. I also love how many colors it comes in."
"I am going to Italy this summer and planning on packing this cute crochet set from Aqua. It's the perfect outfit for sightseeing, but you can also wear it as a cover-up to the beach."
"These Cult Gaia earrings are a cool way to upgrade your classic gold hoops."
"I have to confess that even after two kids I still love wearing a crop top. This style from A.L.C upgrades your typical white tee and is perfect to pair with some fun printed pants."
"I am obsessed with lime green at the moment and think this is going to be the biggest color for resort. Get a head start on this trend with these adorable sandals from Schutz."
"The retro floral on this dress is the perfect date-night dress, but I would also dress this up and wear it to a cocktail party or a beach wedding."
"This is what I plan to wear to work out in this summer. I love everything Alo makes, and this one-piece is already Kendall Jenner approved. Order this before it sells out again."
"Chances are you will be attending at least one wedding this summer, and I think this bag is the perfect plus-one."
"This is a dress that looks good on anyone! I love the blue floral and plan on wearing it to my friend's baby shower later this month."
