It may have been a weird spring weather-wise, but here in New York, we've had a string of above-70-degree days, and it's getting me so excited for true summer weather to kick in. I don't know about you, but nothing gets me more excited for a new season like shopping for wardrobe updates. There's no seasonal transition that I'm more passionate about than the one from spring into summer. Suddenly, all I want to wear are airy little dresses, pretty skirts, and strappy sandals. With summer coming into view, I'm also keeping tabs on what would make for a cool item to wear on some of the upcoming vacations on my calendar.
Thankfully for me, my favorite retailers are amping up their new arrivals just as my summer shopping fever is setting in. All week, 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 good finds. Here, I'm sharing the 42 summer-ready items from these three sites that I'm losing it over and know you will too. Happy shopping!
Nordstrom
I haven't stopped thinking about the mod Mary Jane flats from Tory Burch's S/S 24 runway, and now that they've arrived, I might have to reward myself with them for being so patient.
In case, like me, you waited this long into trench season to find the perfect one, this cool duster-length pick could be calling your name.
All I'll say is IYKYK.
These look so expensive.
Vacation is beckoning!
Chic, easy, affordable. These might be the smartest $34 you spend this season.
While this would naturally make a great beach tote, I'd like to make the case for its use as a city tote, too.
If these are still in stock come June, I'll be genuinely shocked.
Wait, these look so expensive.
No, I'm still not over the halter-dress trend.
When fashion people aren't wearing denim shorts this summer, they'll 100% be in something tailored like this.
The color of the season, butter yellow, just so happens to coincide with linen season, and I think that's beautiful.
Maybe I'm watching too much Sex and the City, but these are very Carrie coded.
Not the first bubble hem in this roundup, and it won't be the last.
I predict bloomers like this will be the micro-trend that lights up our feeds this summer.
The fit of this tee couldn't be better if it tried.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Zendaya and I share a love for these ultra-elegant flats.
There are a dizzying number designer bags on the market right now, but none feel quite as fresh as Prada's belt bag, a capacious satchel that leans into 2024's big bag theme.
Cigarette pants are on my radar with the rise of elegant dressing, and to me, Khaite's version is perfect.
*The* skirt trend of the moment.
I couldn't love anything more than Prada's square-toe satin mules.
This might be one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen this month if not all year.
Can you tell I'm still thinking about the Met Gala looks?
If you know me IRL, you know I'm a big supporter of capri pants, and I love this tailored pair.
Something about this reminds me of the early aughts, but in the best way.
I'm already mentally building my vacation wardrobe, and these are on the mood board.
This built-in layering is so good.
I can't imagine an occasion where these simple sandals wouldn't work.
Zara
It's going to be a halter-top summer if I have anything to say about it.
I'm getting Prada energy.
These crochet flats feel like such a fresh update to the mesh-shoe trend.
Swan style, but make it 2024.
Wear this with an airy midi dress and ballet flats for a very South of France feel.
Longer denim shorts are the move this summer.
The kind of accessory that makes any outfit look much more forward.
After seeing Challengers, I want to wear all things tennis-inspired.
A much-needed upgrade to your basic tank.
These aren't for the faint of heart, but I'm intrigued.
Just easy.
It's giving wealthy divorcée who drinks afternoon martinis by her pool.
The shape of these straps, though.
If I had a summer vacation in Europe planned, this would so be in my suitcase.
Seventies nostalgia at its best.
