    Most Coveted is a bi-weekly shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    I need someone to come and take my credit card away because these new fashion arrivals have me spiraling. Not to be dramatic, but the following roundup contains some of the best items I've found this summer. I'm talking sheer fabrics, cute tote bags, and don't even get me started on the sandals.

    Dressing on-trend this summer is all about keeping it laid back. All my favorite fashion muses and stylists have these items in common: pajama-like pants, jelly accessories, and pops of red. No one is reinventing the summer-style wheel—they are just making it look effortlessly cool, and I think the 31 items below will help you achieve that. Shop my July favorites before they inevitably sell out.
