Anthro to Zara: The 26 Essential Summer Buys for Under $100

Jun 09, 2015

There are a lot of things we’re looking forward to this summer: weekend BBQs that last long into the night, breezy bike rides that take you into every nook and cranny of your city and, of course, some serious beach bummin’. But those warm-weather escapades just wouldn’t feel right in even our slinkiest spring gear. The sun-drenched season calls for its own uniform, one that’s full of neon hues, bare shoulders and out-in-the-open toes.

1. Anthropologie x BaubleBar Naples Drops ($68): This summer, take the leap from spring’s minimalist studs to these geometric danglers. The mix of wooden triangles and beaded fringe gives off a tropical vibe that pairs perfectly with a your one-piece at the beach and an off-the-shoulder dress off the sand.

2. American Apparel The Adia Dress ($54): This will be *the* dress you toss on to look put together in a pinch again and again and again this summer. Wear it with chunky platforms to catch last-minute drinks with your girls, with a fresh pair of sneakers the next day for patio brunch, then with lace-up pumps the weekend after for your best bud’s outdoor wedding.

3. ASOS Denim Wide Leg Cut Out Jumpsuit ($90): This season’s spin on overalls is the anti-mechanic’s denim jumpsuit. Keep the look feeling modern with heeled mules and minimal accessories.

4. BaubleBar Cape Town Bracelet Set ($62): Sunmerfy even your most basic jeans and tee with this set of sequined tassle bracelets. Mix ’em in with your favorite gold cuffs or stack one on top of the other for major island-feeling flair.

5. Boohoo Ameey Clear Plastic Mac With Pastel Trims ($52): Never let a summer downpour salt your style ever again. Keep dry without dressing down in this clear raincoat with cute pastel piping.

6. Brit + Co Yellow Wallpaper They Cross Clutch ($45): This canvas clutch is a vacay essential, casual enough to tote around on the beach in a maxi yet classy enough to bring to your waterside dinner in a jumpsuit.

7. Charles & Keith Covered Sliders ($56): The quintessential lazy girl footwear just got the preppiest makeover ever. We can’t wait to wear these saddle shoe slides with culottes and a polo top (because how could you resist?).

8. COS Cut-Out Check Top ($89): White button-up, meet your new workweek BFF. Zip into a pencil skirt to round out the 9-to-5 look, then toss it on over your fave bandeau and high-waisted jeans when you’re off duty.

9. Forever 21 High-Waisted Skinny Jeans ($28): Even if you feel like the button-front skirt has too much retro flair, you can still stay on trend with these high-waisted, button-closure skinny jeans, aka the perfect pants to wear with your summer crop top collection.

10. Free People Marrakesh Lace Up Sandal ($78): These kicks combine two of our fave summer sandal trends: metallics and laces. They might be the sleekest way to style your chambray romper.

11. GAP Printed Jogger Shorts ($45): These cozy-chic jogger shorts have us saying “cutoffs who”? Wear with a tunic top and slide sandals for an effortless head-to-toe look.

12. H&M Wide-Cut Coat in Lyocell ($50): Whether the culprit is an evening breeze or a chilly indoor office, beat the summer shivers with this drapey coat. Think of it as a less fussy trench (no buttoning or belting involved!) that can dress up your weekend outfit like that.

13. J.Crew Swingy Lace-Up Sailor Tee ($68): This is what happens when classic French girl stripes get a ’70s makeover. Turn into a scene stealer at your neighborhood music festival by wearing it with cut-offs, heeled clogs and a bright red lip.

14. Lisa Says GAH Laura Schoorl Hair Wallet ($50): For those too-hot summer days where even a clutch is too much to handle, opt for this ethically sourced horsehair wallet that you can carry with your LBD on date night or tuck in your shorts’ back pocket when you have to run out of the cool AC for errands.

15. LOFT Tank Midi Dress ($50): This might be the ultimate summer basic: a wear-every-weekend midi tank dress that feels like pajamas but is still super chic. With a light denim jacket as its PIC, this frock is good to go to every picnic, BBQ or rooftop party you and your friends throw all season long.

16. Madewell Squareset Turquoise Ring ($28): Add a pretty pop of color to your warm-weather getup with this chunky turquoise ring that’s still simple enough to pair with your set of everyday stackers. Accessorize with a metallic watch and chains for a professional feel, or play into the slight Southwestern vibes with a beaded bracelet.

17. Mango Openwork Pattern Trousers ($80): This summer, break out of your maxi skirt comfort zone with these sheer trousers that have the same feel but definitely make a bolder statement. Keep things dressy with ankle-strap sandals and a shiny pedicure or take ’em to a more casual place with stark white sneakers.

18. Nasty Gal Quay Coco Iridescent Shades ($45): If you ask us, anything goes when it comes to summer shades. So, go there with these iridescent circle sunnies studded with the most beach babely palm tree charms. Thanks to the white frames, this pair is streamlined enough to wear even when you’re not sippin’ on piña coladas.

19. Need Supply Gold Necklace in White Speck ($58): This minimalist necklace will soon be your secret weapon for turning your more basic summer tops into something really special, whether it’s a work-worthy blouse, a party-ready cami or an everyday tee.

20: Old Navy Cami Romper ($30): This fit-for-the-beach romper won’t just be your go-to swimsuit cover up. Slip into strappy heels and a flowy kimono and you’re looking at your new fave GNO outfit.

21: & Other Stories Platform Suede Espadrilles ($100): When espadrilles can be more than the definitive summer shoe, they’re a find. Case in point: these platform slippers that would look just as at home in the office (we’re thinking with a crisp white suit) as they would on a cruise ship.

22: Reformation Boa Top ($98): Once you have the right bra to navigate its plunging neckline (and arms and back), you can count on this strappy top to see you through every sizzling summer moment, whether it’s beating a heat wave paired with track shorts and sandals, throwing back beers in your easy denim and cowboy booties for drinks on the bar patio or hitting up that after-work event with a wrap skirt and open-toed ankle boots.

23. Target Ainsley Knot Thong Sandals ($16): These thong sandals are the perfect in-your-face statement against the throngs of ugly sandal lovers out there. Just cuff up your jeans and you’re ready for wherever the day takes you.

24: Topshop MOTO Stab Stitch Cropped Jacket ($80): Every girl needs that one miracle-working, semi-formal summer dress that covers every Save the Date through August, like this lavender lace dress. Color aside, the off-the-shoulder neckline makes it a sartorial standout, especially when its blinged out with a dainty choker or playful drops.

25: Urban Outfitters: Neoprene Beach Tote ($49): True, the size of this tote makes this bag the frontrunner for carrying the haul for every summer excursion — towels for the beach, food for the backyard potluck, wine for your BFF binge night-in. But let’s be real; its scuba-style fabric in that swoon-worthy ocean blue hue is what really sealed the deal for us.

26. Zara Striped Swimsuit ($40): Don’t just flaunt this flattering swimsuit poolside on your epic vaycay. Give it life when you’re back in the real world under your high-waisted jeans at weekend brunch.

Whether you've seen The Olsen twins' oversized bags and are finally starting to cave, or perhaps you've been looking for ways to achieve that "effortless" look — slouchy bags are all people are talking about online, and I can see why. Not only are they practical, giving you room to fit your whole skincare routine, beautyessentials, and daily must-haves, they're also incredibly chic!

I've been searching for the right slouchy bag to give me that "not trying too hard" vibe that looks high end, but isn't $1000. Upon my online shopping, I found some of the most perfect and undeniably chic options from all of our fave stores like Target, Reformation, and so many more! Keep scrolling to find your new favorite daily bag!

Reformation

Reformation Patricia Bag

Anyone else been hearing about how the Margeux bag from The Row is the new Birkin? It's everywhere on socials, and I've fallen victim to lusting after it as well. That all stopped when I found this insanely cheaper alternative from none other than Reformation. And unlike places selling The Row version, you won't have to pay $10,000!!! Grabbing this one immediately!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Love Knot Bag

White doesn't have to stop after Labor Day, especially in beautiful cream shades like this one here. I love the milky, creme color, along with the slouchy shape of the bag. It's seriously the ultimate slouchy bag I've been looking for — and all for under $100!

Free People Bobbi Slouch Bag

This Free People bag appears to be the perfect type of bag to "Jane Birkin-ify" — AKA grab your charms and necklaces and get to accessorizing it (like above)! It would look so cute with some added accessories to style it according to your personality!

Target

Target Slouchy Bucket Shoulder Bag

Brown suede is truly all I'm thinking about for fall, particularly in bag form. This bag from Target is an amazing option because while it's "slouchy", it still has some structure on the bottom, making it easier to sift through for your things. Because nobody likes spending 10 minutes looking for your lipstick!

Madewell

Madewell Curve Shoulder Bag

This style of curved-shoulder bag is everywhere ATM, and I can see why. Not only is it giving the effortless "I barely thought about my outfit, but it still looks like it's straight from a magazine shoot" vibe, but it's also so practical!

The always-chic Reformation just won't stop slaying the game with their accessories. From their shoes to their belts, and now bags, I truly can't get enough! Become an instant cool, city-girl in this suede bucket bag. I would pair it with a mini skirt, sweater, and knee-high boots!

Target

Target Crescent Sling

#BratSummer has left the chat and made room for #BratFall, because this color trend is not going anywhere! I'm loving this more watered down shade of green compared to the typical neon Brat color we've seen. It's definitely a fall-appropriate hue, while still bringing in some fun, autumnal color!

J.Crew

J.Crew Edie Shoulder Bag

J.Crew is always hitting the mark, and they've done it yet again with this year's hottest color: butter yellow. The typically summer color is breaking out for fall in an amazing way. I love incorporating this light hue to my more neutral outfits that need some color-love. This bag is also on sale, so you definitely wanna grab it now!

Mango

Mango Shopper Bag

A great, slouchy shopper bag like this one from Mango is great for all our commuters that work in-office and need a bag to fit all their must-haves for the day. This one is my fave, because it also could double as a chic travel bag to fit all your toiletries and travel essentials. We how affordable it is, too!

Reformation

Reformation Bucket Bag

This bucket bag is the ultimate luxe option for my girls that love to replicate Princess Diana's '90s style. I just know you'll feel oh-so chic with this heather gray bag slung over your shoulder. I recommend pairing this bag with a sweater-top like above, boyfriend jeans, and cute ballerina flats! Seriously, this would be my daily work outfit combo! And some bonus points for this bag? It looks like it could fit your entire office inside.

Target

Target Ruched Crossbody

This bag would have you thinking it's high end before you saw that the tag actually says "Target" on the inside. I love the chic ruching that is definitely trending this season. It's a great option if you're looking for something a bit more on-the-go and easier to carry around.

Reformation

Reformation Cylinder Bag

This bag genuinely looks like it came straight from The Row. It's a great alternative to their beloved '90s bagthat's taken the internet by storm! If you're looking for an alternative that isn't always sold out (and happens to be around $700 cheaper), then look no further!

I Found Target’s Most Comfortable Heels For Every Fall Occasion

Every year I can't help but get excited about fall fashion — especially when it comes to Target's shoe section! Whether I'm eyeing loafers, Mary Janes, or anything leopard print, I need something to match all the chunky knit sweaters in my closet — especially if they'll add a little height to my look. So, here are all the best Target heels I could find, in all the trendy fall styles, that are both comfy and cute!

Target

Women's Diana Buckle Mule Heels

The buckle on these mule heels is giving "I'm rich" in all the right ways. There's just something about the contrast of the lighter gold paired with the smooth leather that's both classy and trendy all at once. Pair these slide-on heels with a gorgeous midi dress for an easy, early fall look!

Target

Women's Ricky Platform Heels with Memory Foam Insole

It's no secret that the '70s make their reappearance every time fall rolls back around. There's just something about the chunky heels and that "all the leaves are brown" vibes that really calls out, you know? These platform heels are perfect for embodying that chic nostalgia, while giving you all the comfort of memory foam insoles. Score!

Target

Journee Collection Womens Sylvia Sling Back Covered Block Heel Pumps

Slingbacks? Kitten heels? Together with a velvet finish? Yeah, these are really fantastic for anyone looking to add a black block heel to their closet this year! I can picture these paired with a dark jean, a crisp white button down, and a tan sweater over your shoulders for that "old money" look.

Target

Journee Collection Womens Shasta Tru Comfort Foam Mid Heel Square Toe Pumps

Remember what I said about the '70s? These gorgeous patent leather pumps are all that wrapped into a Mary Jane silhouette. You can wear these to the office, at your next girly happy hour, or when you wanna pull out a casually adorable look just for the heck of it! I can already picture an argyle sweater vest and some wide legged jeans...

Target

Women's Aubrey Slingback Pumps

If you're looking for a sexier slingback, look no further than these! They scream, "I'm confident!" no matter what you pair them with. These would just look too perfect with a slinky little slip dress and a leather jacket draped over your shoulders for date night!

Target

Perphy Women's Platform Buckle Ankle Strap Chunky High Heels Sandals

Another chunky heel for your fall wardrobe! This two-toned brown option is adorned with gold accents and tan stitching that give this pair a kitschier look. I love these for a day date with the girls, full of gabbing and baked brie and wine galore.

These tan heels are sleek, sleek, sleek. Another pair of shoes that are the quiet luxury look that Sofia Richie seems to effortlessly pull off day after day. Add these to cart for a touch of chicness to any outfit.

Target

Pointed Toe Slip On Block Heel Slide Mules

Point me in the direction of all the leopard mules because they're my new version of a 'neutral' shoe. I love that this slip on design will look great with bootcut jeans or a midi skirt, making them cute and versatile.

Target

Journee Womens Ezzey Loafer Mid Stacked Heel Square Toe Pumps

Loafers are THE shoe of fall, so add a heel to them and I'm immediately sold! These '70s-esque heels come in five different colors, so if you're tired of all the different shades of brown this fall, you can grab a hue that suits you better!

Target

Ballet Pumps

I didn't know you could elevate ballet flats until I saw these pumps online. They have a 1.5 inch heel that'll look cute with your new sweater dress — trust me!

Target

All-Day Heeled Mule

I should've said that I love all mules — leopard print or not — but we're here now! All that matters is the cushioned insoles have extra padding that won't make them uncomfortable after a few hours. Also, the upper leather is waterproof. Cha-ching!

Target

Bow Pumps with Memory Foam

Heading to a fall work event and need a pair of heels that look party-ready? You need these bow pumps to make an extra statement! They're red, which is the new unofficial color of fall, and they have memory foam insoles! Heels aren't always comfortable so the fact this pair is being so thoughtful makes it an instant win in my book.

Target

Open Square Toe Block Heel Sandals

I used to have a pair of block heel sandals similar to this pair, and I'd wear them with my summer-to-fall transitional outfits until they fell apart. That's a major hint you'll love these sandals as much as I did.

Target

Cross Strap Mule

You'll avoid thin straps digging into your skin with these cross strap mules! These mules are breathable and cushioned enough for you to wear them to the pumpkin patch friend date you have coming up at the end of September.

"You want your wife to do something that you're not doing and it's like, it's hard sometimes to look in the mirror and really have to realize, man, maybe you're not the person that you necessarily thought that you were."

"There's a reason they say 'for better or for worse.' Like, that's for real!" Hailey tells Harper's Bazaar. "I might fly somewhere and go do a job, but I can't wait to come back and hang out.

"I’m fighting to do this the right way, to build a healthy relationship,” Hailey says. “I’m not going to sit here and lie and say it’s all a magical fantasy. It’s always going to be hard. It’s a choice. You don’t feel it every single day...But there’s something beautiful about it anyway — about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone."

October 22, 2024 — Justin And Hailey Are Closer Than Ever Amid Diddy's Scandal

In spite of the fact Justin and Hailey welcomed their infant son a couple of months ago, the rumor mill is dredging up the singer's past affiliation with fallen mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Page Six reshared screenshots from an old video of that two where Diddy's hand could be seen on Justin's chest. One user on X felt Diddy was "checking Justin Bieber to see if he is wearing a wire," however it's hard to tell since we can't really hear their conversation.

Since the video resurfaced, there have been several reports that Justin isn't doing so well because he could be reliving alleged trauma from the time he was close to Diddy. One report by The News even said the singer "looked pensive" in photos snapped of he and Hailey while they headed to Doja Cat's bday bash.

However, it seems Justin and Hailey are doing their best to continue leading normal lives amid Diddy's scandal. The Rhode founder shared a sweet photo of a little plant Justin surprised her with on Instagram stories, according to PEOPLE, and wrote, "@justinbiber bought me a plant for no reason. it’s the little things."

Justin also shared a carousel of pictures on Instagram a couple of days ago that showed him working on music. The last photo features a tender moment that captures he and Hailey leaning in for a kiss, signaling they're a united front in their marriage.
