Instagram Is My Job—These Are the 14 Coolest Things I Saw in August
If you missed this story last month, here's the deal: As someone who does social media for a living, I spend a lot of time on Instagram. So as my treat to you, I'm highlighting the 14 coolest things I see on the platform each month so that you don't have to waste your time scrolling. (Your screen time app will thank you.)
As you browse through this month's selection, you'll quickly be able to tell by the leather separates and croc-effect bags that I'm itching for fall, but there are also a few summer items that are just too good not to share. From the coolest going-out top I've seen this year to the dreamy fall handbag that's about to be on every fashion girl's wish list to the $20 Zara bodysuit that truly goes with everything, below are the best fashion items I saw on Instagram this month.
The combination of color and fabric on this top and matching skirt made me stop dead in my scrolling tracks.
The shape of this necklace is so different—and the perfect length for layering.
Bottega Veneta is 2019's buzziest brand, and it's easy to see why with pieces like this.
Leather separates are going to be huge for fall, and this slightly oversize piece looks insanely cool with denim.
Shop the matching Edie Bottoms ($108).
Between the retro underwire and pretty eyelet details, I can't decide what I like more.
Next up: 21 pretty fall tops that made me do a double take.
