While other people might argue early spring and around the holidays are the best times for shopping, I'm a firm believer that it's late July and early August. On the one hand, you have all the epic summer sales going strong across the internet at major retailers, from Nordstrom to Net-a-Porter, meaning that the discounts on designer items and current-season trends are everywhere to be found. On the other hand, next-season arrivals are just beginning to drop, and they're giving us a glimpse into what we can expect to see for fall.
I don't know about you, but nothing gets me more excited for a new season like scrolling through the new-arrivals section. There's no seasonal transition that I'm more passionate about than the one from summer into fall. It's when I suddenly crave the comfort of wearing boots and leather jackets and experimenting with cool layering ideas. All day, I've been toggling between a dizzying number of browser tabs at Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and Zara. Let me tell you—I've sourced some very good finds. Here, I'm sharing the 42 best new-in items from these three sites that I'm absolutely losing it over and know you will too.
Saks
I thought I was into Prada's belt bag, but I'm truly obsessed now that I know it comes in a sumptuous brown suede.
I didn't know I needed a pair of mesh loafers in my life until today.
Prediction: Sporty nylon jackets will have a big moment this fall (and maybe even rival leather jackets).
The buzziest jewelry item of the moment.
Easy dressing 101.
These just landed in stores this week, and our editors are (rightfully) already freaking out over them.
From Saint-Tropez to Mallorca, fashion people have been carrying this specific bag on all their summer vacations.
I mean...
Such a pretty neckline.
If the popularity of Alaïa's crystal Mary Janes is any indication, then these are guaranteed to go viral.
A girl can dream, no?
I'm so here for the leopard-print revival that's happening.
To wear with jeans, trousers, and skirts alike.
I've never wanted a pair of sneakers more.
Nordstrom
I can't stop thinking about this perfect throw-on number.
I couldn't be any more infatuated with this '50s-inspired bag shape.
In case, like me, you were lusting after the Chanel thong sandals, these are a pretty good alt.
I have upwards of 30 tank tops in my wardrobe but would somehow find room for one more.
Effortlessly cool.
Elegant is the word.
If it's too soon to be thinking about my fall wardrobe, then sue me.
The best things come in small packages.
So refined.
Vince just gets it.
Keep scrolling if you hate compliments.
I'm genuinely speechless.
The satin finish elevates these to a new level.
Just charming.
Any brides-to-be in the house?
I can't help it—there are just too many good jackets online right now.
Zara
If you told me this was Tory Burch, I'd 100% believe you.
Zara's shoes are some of its best ever right now.
I'm truly and deeply in love with this top.
Turn every lazy hair moment into a bona fide look.
If you're heading back into the office this fall, something chic like this is just the thing to motivate you.
If it comes with a matching scarf, it's probably already in my cart.
Pretty!
Don't be shy—wear them solo.
Jaws will be on the floor.
I can't get enough halter tops in my closet.
A whole entire moment.
To spice up just about any outfit.
