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 very 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!
