On my radar: issue 134

Hi There!

Did you miss me?? Don’t worry, my bank account has informed me that I will not be taking another vacation until further notice. Two weeks traipsing around Europe is exactly what the doctor ordered, and I am feeling refreshed and ready to take on the second half of summer. I have spent the past week diving into everything that happened while I was away and boiled it down to the best very that you need to know. Keep scrolling to see what caught my eye!

What’s On My Radar:

1. Reformation has entered the lace short chat. I love the more relaxed fit of this pair and might need to snag the black pair for myself. While lace shorts are undoubtedly the short trend of summer, I can’t help but think about how chic they would look back to a slouchy sweater and ballet flats for early fall.

2. I have somehow resisted the anklet trend so far, but I think I need to snag this delicate pearl piece that is currently on sale. It is the perfect example of a “low effort/high impact” item that instantly makes your outfit look more styled.

3. Another low effort/high impact item that I really really want. For some reason I am often intimidated by bracelets and struggle to style them, but this one feels like a no-brainer.

4. There is clearly a jewelry theme going on this week, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that one of my favorite bag brands just released some stunning necklaces.

5. While I took a “bigger and bolder” approach to the brooch trend, I also love this as a way to dip your toes in. Pin a brooch on anything, and it instantly gives your outfit that cool factor.

6. This trending color has been a bit polarizing, but I really love it in this easy silhouette. The knit fabrication helps to dull some of the saturation and make it feel more approachable.

7. How chic would this dress be with a silk scarf tied around the waist??

Suitcase Superheroes - aka pieces I reached for over and over

1. The perfect linen shorts in an elevated longer inseam

2. A funky, statement-making earring

3. This packable sun hat

4. A one-piece swimsuit that seamlessly transitions from beach to lunch to sightseeing

5. A breezy but interesting swim coverup

6. A versatile necklace that upgrades any look

In My Carryon - aka items I was most excited about and wouldn’t risk in a checked bag

1. This fringe top

2. My magic pants that I own in three colors

3. Classic (with a twist) black heeled sandals

4. Printed slip skirt for a pop of color

5. Embroidered midi dress with the sweetest details

6. This statement skirt
