This Week in Fashion: Stylish Summer Essentials

From shoes to bags, to the perfect beach cover- up, with summer in full swing here are a few fashionable finds that will help you look effortlessly chic at the height of the season.

Neutral Flat Sandals

A pair of neutral shoes is a must have for any wardrobe. Give your feet a hiatus from heels for the summer and opt for flat sandals instead. Joe's "Tina" Sandals are stylish and super comfortable. Wear them with shorts, skirts or dresses. Flats offer better support than flip-flops and allow your feet to breathe on hot days. And they are better for navigating your favorite vacation spots.

Statement Necklace

From orange and turquoise hues to sparkly geometric stones, there are so many colors and styles to choose from this season. Keep your outfit simple and choose a bold necklace to bring it up a notch. Try this bright orange layered piece from Macy’s with monochromatic separates, a white tee, or even your favorite navy or black dress.

Straw Bag

Nothing conveys carefree style like a summer woven tote. This season there are plenty of desirable shapes and sizes to complete your every day look. Try a vivid shade in hot pink like this one from Anthropologie.

Or, if you want something more neutral, this eco-friendly beige and purple bag is available at Whole Foods.

Hair Accessory

When the temperatures soar, a simple ponytail is fine, but a loose bun or topknot is a much more stylish option. There are so many products out there to create a perfect updo, but the Wrap-Up is chic, easy and helps you beat the heat with a cute hairstyle in under five minutes.

Beach Cover-Up

Almost anything can double as a beach cover-up. Your favorite pull-on knit skirt, a pretty scarf tied as a sarong, or even a trendy tunic from Old Navy. Most importantly, it should be flattering and comfortable. Find your favorite and hit the beach in style.
