It’s getting hot hot out, and I’ve been on the hunt for cool cotton dresses that don’t bare my arms (though on many days it’s too steamy to care about that). As soon as I spied this shirt dress from Madewell I knew I needed to own it: it’s got short sleeves, which is rare in a shirt dress, and the blue and white vertical stripes are both fresh-looking and flattering. The fact that it’s also got pockets just seals the deal.

I love the look of Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, but their shape does my face no favors. These hexagonal frames work, though, and are just as old-school cool as the aforementioned aviators.

My new platform Birkenstocks will be here any day and I’m so excited. I got a vegan pair even though I do wear leather, because they’re more lightweight.

This cute bracelet from my one of favorite jewelry brands, Ten Thousand Things, would look great on its own or in a stack. And it’s currently marked down, which is exciting. Click here for more Ten Thousand Things goodness.

These clog sandals look so authentically vintage, and I even like the brown, which I almost never do.

A crisp poplin A-line button-down that also comes in white, and is reasonably-priced enough for me to consider getting in both shades.

The stripes on this button-down are just a little bit fatter than one usually sees, which I think is pretty chic. I also love red, white, and blue stripes pretty much on anything.

Just the most stylish little quilted laptop case.

I continue to covet polo shirts, and this one is so perfectly preppy chic.

And finally: lower-waisted Dre jeans by Rag & Bone are my current favorites, and I’m very tempted by this white pair.
